In the final part of the Right Knowledge and Right Liberation Workshop, Ajahn Brahmali, Ajahn Sujato and Venerable Sunyo discusses Right Liberation:
- Liberation from what exactly?
o Defilements
o Suffering = the five aggregates = existence
o Liberation in both respects - Liberation and Nibbāna (SN 23.1, SN 1.2)
- The meaning of “Nibbāna”
- The two types of Nibbāna (Iti 44, Thag 15.2)
o Nibbāna at enlightenment
o Nibbāna at passing away - Nature of Nibbāna
o Awakening vs. enlightenment
o Only potsherds being left (SN 12.51)
o All feelings become cool at the end of life (MN 140) - Anattā: no entity comes to an end, only suffering (MN 72, SN 22.85)
- Conceit and enlightenment (MN 140, Ud 1.10)
- To help others, aim for enlightenment yourself; get out of the mud (MN 8)
- Some say Nibbāna is cessation, others that it is a kind of eternalism; so how do we choose?
o We need to zoom out and take a bird’s eye view
o The safe bet: let go of as much as possible. “Nothing is worth holding on to” (MN 37)
o The view of cessation of existence is closer to non-clinging (MN 60) - What’s the purpose of extinguishment? (SN 23.1)
