    1. we are talking about something that we can not verify our selves . we have to trust Buddha or someone for the interpretation . generally this is true for abidharma.
    2. although we talk about rupa , wedana ,sangna ,sankara , wingnana separetly they do not arise separately . all or non. (non linear)
    3. not an expert on abidharma. but upadana skanda is not there in arahat chitta / sith so disagree on "skandas/upadanaskandas are the same". agree that pruthakjana sith will be upadana skanda .
    4. start and end , this is linear thinking . first skanda then upadana. try to see it in non linear way. it happens together. like when we go some where distance from our starting place increase in same way distance to our location reduces.

    5. I think all "santiirna, vottapana, etc cittas. Inside javanas " are types of sith . they are given names according to the state sith or action thet accomplish.
    sith= experience = panchaskanda
    i would like refer to a earlier discussion . experience is not limited to what we persive . it is everything. conscious + subconscious.

    quick question before answering

    one cittas/mind moment - 1 cittaksana
    rupa last - 17 cittaksana

    1 citta viti - 17 cittaksana (mostly)

    do you know why rupa lasts 17 cittaksanas? if you know the answer you already have answers to above...if not ill answer them

    no nama -rupa is dathu level because of both getting together chakku vinyanaya is born.because of chakku vinyanaya phsycial eye and phsycial rupa apperas.(butha rupa level) they are already cligned. i can draw and show if you want

    rupa - datu level - panchasakanda

    you say rupas in 3 levels?

    rupa - datu level
    rupa - skanda level
    rupa - upadana skanda level

    is that what u say?
    no in that verse rupa is dathu level (skanda) (panchaskada)
    when chakku vinyana is born now its butha rupa(upadana rupa,butha level) pancha upadanskanda

    2 rupas

    take it like this:

    there is a factory.. with incoming door... when the door triggers, it starts rolling boxes/rupa (for example) on a belt though different functions

    trigger comes -> boxes rolling -> grabbing happens..

    one that grabbing happesn that box is labeled/called - lovely box (upadana rupa)

    same factory..

    trigger comes -> box rolling (same box) -> no grabbing happens.

    box is rolling but not labeled as lovely box (upadana rupa)

    any intrinsic difference between both boxes?.. no. they are identical. but they were considered/labeled differently how they were handled.

    i guess i read this correctly,the way you wanted to show. what i meant is the box itself is upadana rupa before labeling it.the materials to construct the boxes are dathu rupa.lets say atoms getting together.cannot see.when atoms get together physical eye is born and the physical box. whether you label it or not doesn't change the upadana rupa. lets say if you dont label it a kid would be rahat.because a new born doesnt know what it is.but hes already on updana level

    rupas structure - apo thejo vayo...etc... no matter how you called skanda or upadana.. same structural composition

    you called the rupa - upadana rupa, becuase it was grabbed. not because of any structural changes...

    it's already grabbed.the physical eye and pushcyal box comes through chakku vinyana. imagine chakku vinayana as a film projector .it projects a physical eye and infront of it a phsyical box. both are the result of chakku vinayana,the moment chakku vinayana is born you are joined already. there is nothing the charcter(eye) can do.

    the physical eye(for sake of understanding) and the physical box (datu) are not projected by the projector..

    the eye/box you know experience is a projection.

    It’s a territory i can’t convey it to you properly.

    If you read that verse throughly you will see

    ඇසත්, (බාහිර) රූපයත් ඇසුරු කරගෙන (ඒ දෙක නිසා) ඇසේ විඥානය (රූපය හඳුනාගන්නා සිත / දැකීම) උපදී. මේ තිදෙනාගේ (ඇස, රූපය, ඇසේ විඥානය යන කරුණු තුනේ) එකතු වීම ස්පර්ශය (ඵස්සය) යි.

    If you take this eye and bahira rupa as physical,joining of two physical things cannot produce hadunegnime sitha/dekima again.because the eye is already born if you take it as phsysical eye already.

    Chakku vinayana projector ,pysichal eye, the outside box is sprashaya(3 clinged already) the exact film projector scene. Thunama ekama thana.

    The bahira part is ‘form’on skanda level, namyay rupayay skanda level. Deka ekathu wima hinda dakime sitha/eye upadi.

    good this is external to the experience. agree?

    will catch ya later. lunch time

    I didn’t quite get you.lets talk tomorrow,if you see this verses in skanda level you can see sariputta thero in his sutras when he speaks always refers to this skanda level,but we get it as updana level.
