发帖数: 2166 | 1 The Pali work in question is UPADANA, literally meaning 'a taking up'. It
is commonly used indicating a 'fuel', which sustains a process, such as the
oil in a lamp being the fuel/upadana for the flame. It is related to craving
(TANHA). For example, craving is reaching out for the delicious cup of
coffee, Upadana is picking it up. Even though you think that you can easily
put the cup of coffee down again, though your hand is not superglued to the
cup, it is still Upadana. You have picked it up. |
