One does suspect that this particular piece was not written by a Theravadin (). As far as helping sentient beings towards cessation of suffering goes, anyone who is not a Buddha had better restrict themselves to pointing out the Dhamma that the Buddha himself uncovered, rather than thinking they are wise enough to try to formulate their own. This is what I do with my own children, who are not active followers of the Dhamma; just hint at the fact that certain activities do not lead to the highest form of happiness, and other concepts drawn from my understanding of the Dhamma. This I generally do in what I hope is quite a subtle manner, as they have quite pronounced ideas about what is desirable in life themselves ().
