Thank you, bhante, for explaining the degrees and levels of 'escape,' deliverance and liberation within the Divine Abodes (goodwill, compassion, shared joy, and equanimity) with the final overcoming taking place in the wisdom recognition of the Non-Returner (freedom from Sense Realm limitations and association). We are grateful for your insights. Good to hear bhante's sense of humor--not to be overly harsh, strict or rigid in one's practice. Remember the Middle Way and be flexible (patience, forgiveness and acceptance)! HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND PEACE TO ALL.
