Does Buddhism need the supernatural stuff? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

If such things as the Divine Eye/Ear and Nibbana exist, then one HAS to posit a metaphysic in Buddhism.

Nibbana is the unconditioned element (asankhata dhamma). although experienced by mind (nama), Nibbana is not a mental phemomena (nama dhamma), just a tree experienced by mind is not a mental phemomena (nama dhamma) but a physical phenomena (rupa dhamma)

Nibbana is not something metaphysic because it is neither mental (nama) nor physical (rupa)

regards
