Example text
Cf. ) (The Milindapa¤ha is a particularly misleading book. ) Na Ca So Na ca so na ca a¤¤o, ‘Neither he nor another’. ’. This u. Manifest impermanence and unpleasurableness at a coarse level does not exclude (false) perception of permanence and pleasure at a fine level (indeed, manifest unpleasurableness requires false perception of permanence, as remarked above [this refers, of course, only to saïkhàradukkha]). But the coarse notion of ‘self’ must be removed before the subtle conceit ‘(I) am’ can go.
Z See Phassa [a]. ii,63,§21>9 may firstly be taken as one’s own cognized body. Cf. Nidàna/Abhisamaya Saüy. ii,24>: together with its appearance, which is how we normally take it, it is nàmaråpa. Nàmaråpa that is external is all cognized phenomena apart from one’s own body. Cf. iii,19>: Avijjànãvaraõassa bhikkhave bàlassa/paõóitassa taõhàya sampayuttassa evam ayaü kàyo samudàgato. Iti ayaü c’eva kàyo bahiddhà ca nàmaråpaü, itth’etaü dvayaü. A stupid/intelligent man, monks, constrained by nescience and attached by craving, has thus acquired this body.

(It is perhaps being over-charitable to the Milinda to associate its argument with the three saïkhatalakkhaõàni: the Milinda is probably thinking in terms of flux or continuous change. Bradley, while accepting the principle of identity on the ideal level, does not reject a real continuous change: we may possibly not be wrong in attributing some such view to the Milinda in its interpretation of the Dhamma.
