Hello all,

I have posted this thread because I have hit a stumbling block on my path of on two accounts:

1.) I am having trouble understanding the point of kamma and whether one who is enlightened will still experience the fruits of kamma. Lets say for a second that at this instant for some mysterious reason everyone in the world would become enlightened. Therefore according to the teachings no one would truly experience suffering. If a loved one were to die, they would understand all things are impermanent. Would an enlightened person experience the fruits of kamma by killing someone? He would not be "reborn" into a lower realm because he is free from the wheel of life. He would not cause suffering to those who loved the one who was killed because they are enlightened too. You may say to yourself that an enlightened person would not have the urge to kill, because he is free from craving. I am aware of this, but this enlightened person would lets say not do this out of anger or hatred or greed, but killed another just so. You may then say that since an enlightened person is free from urges, he would not have any urge at all not even killing. But then would he have the urge to eat and so forth. I am sorry for the long question but it is really a stumbling block for me on my insight. The moral aspect of this is really bothering me. Should I just drop this question altogether? Any thoughts or links to site regarding this would be awesome thank you!!

2.) I know that the fifth aggregate of consciousness talks about how consciousness is changed moment to moment, e.g eye-consciousness, ear-consciousness. And that the consciousness that sees is different from the one that hears. However, when you watch a movie, you see a person, and hear them talk at the same time. Is this because the moments of consciounsess arise and pass away so fast that they blend together? Again any thoughts or links to site regarding this aspect would be great.

THANKS GUYS!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ALL AND THIS FORUM!!!
