hi Gus

could you kindly support your opinion with some references. i personally cannot recall reports in scriptures (rather than stories & fables) of Buddha using Siddhis to convey spiritual understandings. generally, in the scriptures, Buddha used Siddhis to approach & guide those with spiritual potential but, generally, the followers of the Buddha attained their own understanding thru their own practise of the Buddha's teachings

regards

element, how delightful that you not only repeat what i said, in a form which you could understand, but you also provided the very examples for which you asked~!

this pertains to another insight which i have had, that we rarely see anyone except ourselves, and we see ourselves in everyone~ best wishes, Gus
