rupa is arena where mara operates IF clinging is there
"Buddhas" experience was still built around rupas, yet mara was defeated coz no clinging.
dealing with rupas ended at parinibbana,
thats what i said...for prutajkana it is mara, becuase it will always be upadahan-rupa
stream-enterer will identify rupa as rupa (true nature) with the help of prajna (not regular identification)
didnt i say my understanding?
rupa or any type of form is not intrinsically bad..
attachment/clinging due to wrong view is the problem.. -> upadhana rupa
buddha has said multiple places, rupa is not the problem.
this Radha is prutakjana...rupa referred here could most probably be upadhana-rupa. Buddha has omitted upadhana part in many places.
