dear forum

the Buddha's teaching of the Four Nutriments (ahara) has always intrigued me

for many years i wondered what this teaching is actually about? what is its purpose?

the Buddha was certainly not one to waste words

so i thought to start this thread inquiring into the sutta and especially the similes used

i sense by comprehending the similes the relevant understanding may arise

with metta
