Dear Dan,

all the year here is quibbling and quibbling - would you like to stop
this list ;-)

Thank you very much for your link to the commentaries of the
Śūraṃgamasamādhisūtra by Lamotte. This is very interesting for me.
In his Footnote 119 he wrote:
"The problem of kshânti, sometimes 'patience' and sometimes 'certainty'
is one of the most complicated ones of scholasticism. ..."
And in the following he translates 'anupattika-dharmakshânti' as
'certainty of the nonarising of dharmas'.

Now, when I look for 'khanti' in Rhys Davids & Stede and for 'ksham' in
Monier-Williams I'll only find 'patience, forbearance, ...' and no
'certainty'.
Would you follow Lamotte in this question?
Do you think, that 'anupattika-dharmakshânti' with this meaning is used
in coherent way in the mahayana context?

Thank you for your kshanti,
bernhard
