    It accepts survival, not of an eternal soul, but of a mental process subject to renewed becoming

    this is wrong understanding because "becoming" is a mental state rather than a new life

    Nyanaponika did not comprehend the Buddha's teachings

    when 'becoming' ends, life does not end

    please. DYOR

    There are these three fermentations (asava): the fermentation of sensuality, the fermentation of becoming, the fermentation of ignorance. This is called fermentation.

    He discerns that 'This mode of perception is empty of the effluent of sensuality... becoming... ignorance. And there is just this non-emptiness: that connected with the six sensory spheres, dependent on this very body with life as its condition.'
