[sesIgnose]

Every once in a while we are greeted with Suttas like this one



"Sustained by/clinging to the six properties, there is an alighting of an embryo. There being an alighting, there is name-&-form. From name-&-form as a requisite condition come the six sense media. From the six sense media as a requisite condition comes contact. From contact as a requisite condition comes feeling. To one experiencing feeling I declare, 'This is stress.' I declare, 'This is the origination of stress.' I declare, 'This is the cessation of stress.' I declare, 'This is the path of practice leading to the cessation of stress.' http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipit....061.than.html


Now I find this sutta out of line with the rest of the Buddhas teaching (a long with a few others). I find it a contradiction of the what the Buddhas own Noble teaching. Also I find it illogical, since it seems to suggest that the future embryo is already coming to be by events happening now




How do you view these suttas?
