Dear Hasituppada,
I appreciate what you are saying here. I understood your post on
thoughts as mind-objects was about experience, not intellectual
learning or reasoning. Because you wrote in response to my problems
with thoughts in meditation, I was ready to hear what you had to
say. This turned out very fruitful for me- I heard your meaning and
experienced it for myself (just a little bit, but enough to realize
the importance of it.) Your language was well-suited to helping me
and there was no confusion about it for me. It can be nice to go
back and express things in correct Abhidhamma language, but that has
nothing to do with the help you gave me. I hope you will continue to
share your experiences like this. If I have an intellectual question
about the Dhamma there are many people who can help me answer it. To
me that is "good Dhamma." But there are not many people like
yourself who have penetrated the Dhamma in experience and who will
share it to help others get there too. To me that is "best Dhamma."
With Metta,
Toby
