from post #7
Thanks stuka,

The sutta comes to complement Aloka #1 and #6.

Is this sutta refering to one's personal world of experience - or to the exterior world as a place ?
Now, from Aloka #6 and stuka #7 I feel that it is both. There is a physical world but it can be experienced by a deluded mind or with mindfulness. The last happens when we have overcome Ignorance, Greed and Hate. In Zen we have the Ten Bulls where, after tammin our mind we "return to the marketplace"; it is the physical world but understood with mindfulness.

Thanks for shearing stuka,
