Message: <blockquote data-quote="kalyanamithra" data-source="post: 2774712" data-attributes="member: 99586">Pinwath mithuriya, bohoma pin obata...True, this is not a fact emphasized in the core of Dhamma; but every word of Sammasambuddha Gautama has a deep meaning (as the end-note to the article states clearly...); Every word of Sammasambuddha Gautama helps us break-away from the Samsara...Although not explained in details "Sthri indriya" and "purisa indriya" are mentioned in the original teachings "Indirya Sanyuktha". They represent femininity and masculinity; which is determined by Kamma (please correct me if I am wrong)... It is our attachment (due to Ignorance/Avijja) to what 'we' are; the 'World' we see that takes us through the samsara...What important to know is that we will not remain in the same gender throughout the samsara (e.g. Isidasi Theri Gatha); and male chauvinism, feminism, etc. are not advocated by Buddhism (needless to say that they are meaningless according to Dhamma/ the Doctrine). We can see many people refering to Buddha as a feminist (provavly because of the narrow view they have of life). It's not "kantha vimukthiya" that Buddha disclose/talked about; it's "vimukthi" ultimate liberation from Tanha (and hence Samsara)... As Buddhists we should be aware of that if not to be mislead... Aim of a practicing Buddhist is seeking this 'liberation'... Theruwan saranai!</blockquote>
