Thank you, Iz. Language does get difficult in such areas, and I myself worry at times the conversation can get problematic or misunderstood. I removed that part of the clip, in case it might lead to other misunderstandings.

I've heard this or similar accusation of some other respected Thai Forest monks but I never really understood what the problem was. I'm curious to hear what Ajahn Suchart has to say. Could you summarize it here? I know it's too much to ask but I would appreciate it. To me they talk about the state of the mind after nibbana but before death not that there is an eternal mind. Practically speaking to reach nibbana so much work on the mind is required that it essentially changes, i.e. gets purified. Well, the mind doesn't disappear/cease to exist after nibbana. It only no longer creates karma. What kind of mind is that? It has to be something. I'm not opposed or afraid to discuss this topic. Those Ajahns have been skilled and learned, their understanding of the dhamma deep, I don't think they would make the mistake of equating nibbana with an eternal mind. The Buddha never said or implied that. Anyway. 🙏🏼
