[QUOTE="Archived_member14, post: 175691, member: 586"] Ambarsaria ji, So you have some reason to think that both Mohammed and Buddha were enlightened although their teachings were clearly very different? And when the Buddha pointed out the sixty odd wrong paths which all other religions come under, it is either that I'm misunderstanding this or that the Buddha made an excusable error? OK, but you will still have to answer these questions regarding what is enlightenment and what is liberation. And now also this, why do you think that enlightenment does result in liberation? I would like to remind you of the questions again: 1. What is enlightenment and enlightened is to what? 2. Liberation / Release is release from what? 3. Why do you think that enlightenment does not result in liberation? I don't understand the significance of this; please provide some kind of commentary. Is this “merge” the same kind as that which happens during Mukti? I can imagine a Radha Soami or disciple of Sai Baba saying more or less the same thing about their beloved teacher. But I’m sure that you can do better than them. Thank you. Why? Why can't this be a reflection of the Yuga in which the bigger fool rises above the lesser fools to lead them? Do you feel inclined to consider my arguments mere rhetoric? You are saying this, but a good explanation to back it up is needed. Actually, try all you might to make God sound perfect, you will not be able to do it. Indeed at one time I used to amuse myself with the thought that, a hundred of the most knowledgeable Theists of all religions will not be able to make God look as good as one wise Buddhist describing the qualities of a Buddha! If there is a reason to reduce them, then there is greater urgency as a result of greater understanding, to eradicate them. If they can be reduced, then why not get rid of them totally? If merely reducing them is already enlightened, what is it to then totally getting rid of them? Yeah, fishing. And my point is that, only one person is teaching this. Others say they do, but actually don't. Although they do end up occasionally giving out fish, these are however not ones they have themselves fished, but bought from the market. Because for enlightenment to have any meaning, it must be with regard to that which make up our moment to moment lives. Ignorance accompanies our perceptions all the time. The development of understanding is therefore the process whereby this ignorance is dealt with and finally eradicated, resulting in clear understanding of what really goes on. And only one person taught this. Indeed this person was enlightened to the Four Noble Truths, the Third of which is the Path sometimes referred to as the One Path. More importantly however, the teaching of this person when correctly understood must involve the process called, Straightening of View. This includes the ability to distinguish between what is the Path and what is not the Path, meaning, recognizing wrong paths. And this is the basis for my position. What is same are the five sense faculties and the mind each of which experience their corresponding objects. The one Path therefore, is that which leads to the full understanding of these. If you don't agree with me, I hope at least, that you are not upset by my strong opposition. So far you've shown much patience which I greatly appreciate. ;-) [/QUOTE]
