Ok scholars: would someone kindly offer the Pali terms used in
this text for the following terms found in the 2d sermon cited by
Jim?
I ask only because I'm surprised that the Buddha's use of these
terms suggests that he knew some poetics (and that before he left
home for the homeless life he's seen a few puppet shows), and
also because I just want to know the terms, e.g., what's the
difference between terms for jungle and for wilderness (or were
these Eng. terms supplied by the translator(s):
"the theory that the saint neither exists nor does not
exist after
death, is a [jungle, a wilderness, a puppet-show]"
Thanks in advance, mid-elephantly speaking and so pedantically
yours, Joanna
