Another interpretation of the Cula-Vedalla sutta (MN44)

[TheSynergist]

Interesting table, @Brother_Joe! In case you haven’t seen it, I made a post about the whole “7 disciple types” idea found in a variety of Suttas. To make a long story short, there is some evidence (according to the article I referenced) that this “7 disciple types” model may be a later development.

@Brother_Joe

I agree, but for me this is evidence of later doctrine/views/interpretations, as, even though the Buddha encouraged use of local language for ‘concrete’ nouns (such as bowls), I don’t believe he would have accepted variance in use of mental or psychological terms. One example is the use of ‘kamma’: SuttaCentral.

Good point. Thanks again for your input!
