Yes but didn't the Buddha pointed to the way things are, rather than about how he thought they should be ?

I would also assume that a highly advanced being could use appropriate but firm words which came from a relaxed mental state of clarity and emptiness rather than from the up-tight negativity I catch in myself sometimes, lol !

Hi Aloka,

I think you are on to something here - an important distinction between what we know and how we act. I am not seeking to turn this into a discussion about semantics; righteous is very different to right and in the same way that someone can be a patron without being patronising.
