Continuing in my talking about my family at https://dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=28424
I just posted the below at 'Dharma Wheel' message board in my continued discussion about my family at https://dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=28424 (and it was approved for publishing right away! Quick approval this time!). But I did some minor punctuation correction to the repost of it here.This continued discussion about my family is here at this blog also, the last post about my family at http://samsarictravelling.blogspot.com/2018/05/this-is-continuation-of-post-my-late.html :
I phoned my Aunt 'P.' (yes, I actually have her phone number, and she did come to Canada twice in the last 10 or so years (so did my other Aunt)) to see if she was the 'P.D. Leigh' who co-authored the books with my Uncle Lap (aka Minh Thanh). This phone call was about 3 weeks to a month ago, and was a recorded message left on the answering service.
I did not know she emailed a reply, instead of phoning with a reply, until I checked one of my main emails 15 days after she sent the email. I thought she did not want to talk to me so never phoned back, or for some other reason or reasons she did not phone back. I only had a bit of an idea she might have sent an email reply instead, but never checked the email account she would send one to if she did, until 15 days after she actually did send an email.
That email said 'P.D. Leigh' is her name, and the 'Leigh' is an Anglicization of 'Le'. 'Leigh' is actually how the last name 'Le' sounds like if spoken.
That's all.
Happy Fourth of July, America.

Taking a break of indefinite length from public internet world. (Maybe forever, or not. Not sure.) I am still in the private internet world, though. If you want, you can try to reach me by private messaging through my Google+ profile, facebook, etc.
15.2.10 Wisdom and Knowledge Series, post #15. Buddhism, post #11: "Sexual misconduct in Theravada Buddhism"
Wisdom
and Knowledge Series, post #15. Buddhism, post #11 (15.2.10):
...but what about the third precept in the pañca sila (the Five Precepts)? How many and what are the factors of this precept?
-
There are four factors of the third precept (kamesu micchacara):
- agamaniya vatthu — that which should not be visited (the 20 groups of women).
- tasmim sevana-cittam — the intention to have intercourse with anyone included in the above-mentioned groups.
- sevanap-payogo — the effort at sexual intercourse.
- maggena maggappatipatti — sexual contact through that adhivasanam effort.
- What are the twenty types of women?
- By group name they are:
- matu-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by her mother is called matu-rakkhita.
- pitu-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by her father is called pitu-rakkhita.
- mata-pitu-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by both her mother and father is called mata-pitu-rakkhita.
- bhatu-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by her older or younger brother is called bhatu-rakkhita.
- bhagini-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by her older or younger sister is called bhagini-rakkhita.
- nati-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by her relatives is called nati-rakkhita.
- gotta-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by her clansmen is called gotta-rakkhita.
- dhamma-rakkhita — A woman who is kept by people who practice Dhamma under the same teacher is called dhamma-rakkhita.
- sarakkha — A woman who is kept by her husband is called sarakkha.
- sapari-danda — A woman of such and such name and address, for misbehaving with whom a king levies a fine against a man, is called sapari-danda.
- dhanak-kita — A woman whose indentureship was bought by a man intending to make her his wife is called dhanak-kita.
- chanda-vasini — A woman who lives with a man of her own free will is called chanda-vasini.
- bhoga-vasini — A woman who becomes the wife of a man because of his wealth is called bhoga-vasini.
- pata-vasini — A destitute woman who becomes the wife of a man out of hope for things such as clothes is called pata- vasini.
- oda-patta-kini — A woman whom a man has asked for in marriage, during the solemnization of which the elders of the family take hold of the bride and groom's hands, plunge the hands into a tray of water and give the blessing, "May both of you love each other and live happily together; do not break apart, just as the water in this tray does not break apart," is called oda-patta-kini.
- obhata-cumbata — A woman who, being released from a heavy burden by a man, then becomes his wife is called obhata-cumbata.
- dasi ca bhariya ca — A slave woman whom a man marries is called dasi-bhariya.
- kamma-karini ca bhariya ca — A workwoman whom a man marries is called kamma-karini-bhariya.
- dhaja-hata — A woman whom a man wins in battle and then makes his wife is called dhaja-hata.
- muhut-tika — A woman living with a man for a certain period of time understanding that she is his wife is called muhut-tika.
- Any man who encroaches on any one of these twenty groups of women, along with the factors mentioned above, breaks the third precept, kamesu micchacara. [4]
- What about the woman's role here, and how is it considered in the third precept?
- If a man and a woman have feelings for each other but the man is not suited to her, then he becomes her agamaniya vatthu.
