Body-Possession View

Good morning!   We have been having rain. Very early this morning I had to get up and fix the roof leak.   The Buddha said, When we have roofs, we have leaks.   When we have the body-possession or body-entity view, we have leaks inside and out.   That is why we need to sit to drop off our bodies and minds to become freed from leaks.   2/26/13     Note:   1. Leak (ro, 漏): flux (ooze, āsava, āsrava: bonnō, affliction, 煩悩, kilesa, kleśa, soil, defilement) 2. Body-possession or body-entity view (sakkāya diṭṭhi, satkāya dṛṣṭi, ushin-ken, 有身見) or rather body-possessed view, thus shinjin-totsuraku (身心脱落, body-mind falling away) is necessary.
