We are in agreement that chasing after the world’s sensual pleasures is a condition for the arising of dukkha, but I’m not sure we agree on what sensual pleasures are not:
Greedy intention is a person’s sensual pleasure.
The world’s pretty things aren’t sensual pleasures.
Greedy intention is a person’s sensual pleasure.
The world’s pretty things stay just as they are,
but the attentive remove desire for them.AN 6.63
thistle, do you agree that the world’s pretty things aren’t sensual pleasures or how is the above understood by you? What was the point the Teacher was trying to make when he said the world’s pretty things aren’t sensual pleasures?
