:True, this was the intention. What do you think, do the factors also have to have a specific causal relation in order for there to be an offence? I believe this is part of it, and that this aspect of the specific causal relation is actually very important. Ajahn Brahm (AB) mentions it in his Vinaya Notes. I don't know about Ajahn Thanissaro (AT) though. greetings [[User:Admin|DJti]] 06:41, 21 July 2006 (EDT) | :True, this was the intention.

That seems like something that would need a citation in any case. If you give me some examples from AB I'd be happy to check them in AT. Why don't you go ahead and put something in and attribute it or note that it needs a citation.

I wasn't sure if this page was intended as as general introduction to the concept of factors, but it seemed to be. Thought that fleshing out some of these pages might help clarify how to move forward. BKh 18:47, 20 July 2006 (EDT)
