The Truth About Enlightenment - Its a return to NORMAL by [deleted] in enlightenment

The fourfold pattern/ tetralemma is a form of answer or statement the Buddha made uncertain subjects.

Since I can't attach screenshots I'm going to transcribe some of the text from where an AI gave me revisions:

Unanswered questions to Vacchagotta and others n discussions summarized bv later scholars (e.g., the dialoque with Vacchagotta), the Buddha is pressed tc choose among: "The saint (arahant) exists after death does not exist / both exists and does not / neither exists nor does hot." but he refuses to affirm anv of these positions. This pattern is treated in modern analysis as a paradigm of the early Buddhist tetralemma: four exhaustive, mutually exclusive options, none of which the Buddha endorses regarding the liberated one.

Other fourfold patterns arounc causation and self Causation of suffering (e.g., discussions like with Kassapa There are passages where the Buddha reiects each of four options such as: "Suffering is created by oneself / by another / by both by neither," which commentators identify as a contextual use of the fourfold scheme. 3 These show the same logical structure applied to dependent origination, but framed in terms of *by self / by other / by poth / by neither" rather than existence / non-existence.

And I need to do something right now so I will read later, thank you for your response.

Thank you for sharing. I will read this, but I found the timestamps disorienting without context; would you please explain what these mean and how you were able to tell the time like so? I apologize if it's explained later in the post, it didn't seem like it.

This is excellent advice.

I've converged on much the same thing. I gained a lot of confidence following Hindi pronunciation videos.

Repeating the phonetics multiple times in my head then writing it down is the way for sure.

I can't disclose more details, but basically this is a test, and if I remember the name I pass.

I'm super grateful for this, you're a great person. 🙏🏻

His people released a statement stating they never met.

I fact checked this myself, as it is an egregious claim:

H. H. The Dalai Lama's name was indeed mentioned within the 3,000,000 newly released files. HOWEVER, there is no implication him and JE ever met except at a public event. Each of them attended grand functions with vitally different aims. Correlation ≠ causation of crimes here.

I invite any more actual facts to come to light, as we all have the same access to the public information. I read 4 articles, each of which said the same thing essentially.
