“there is no one who is not liberated. It is simply a question of whether you realise it or not.”

Good comment Saunsea.

The following sentence ‘They have already been checked thoroughly.’ should not be ignored in this context.

However, the Buddha made it clear we should make sure for ourselves. Best way to make sure is to put his teachings into practice and see what happens. Is there less suffering in our lives when we do? Then something is working.

” it is really true that we don’t have to judge the words of a fully enlightened being”

I am curious. Would it also be true that if one is truly enlightened, they would also have no need of judging the words of the unenlightened? Does judgment of the words a human being speaks, reduce our capacity to see the beloved within each individual, whether or not they are enlightened? Would the view of one who is enlightened, be to see others as enlightened; thus, having enlightened vision of the true nature of a human being regardless of their current circumstantial status of either enlightened or unenlightened?

Thank you for this most excellent post. It has inspired many wondrous questions.

My thoughts have been on the same line too lately, is the same old world going around or has the suffering of the world increased tenfolds? Has human greed multiplied along with population, or is it more journalistic exposure of corruption, or has the religions of the world distort, takes centre stage, combat each other causing death and destruction and nothing else. Compassion Is the only answer, one does get caught up in samsara and let sadness weigh heavily..
