Yes, I was referring to the post your quoted of mine:

For my money, I think a lot of people really underestimate the value of the so-called "mundane dharma...
^ In this post, I wasn't implying that you were among the people who underestimated sila. I was agreeing with what I thought you were saying.

However, after reading your latest reply to Element, it seems I actually misinterpreted your post. I hadn't realized the mundane teachings you were referring to were couched in terms of being reborn into a better life, without ever offering anything of the mind-training aspects of the Buddha's teaching. In that case, I think such teachers do a disservice to those that come to hear them and possibly contribute to keeping disadvantaged individuals... at a disadvantage with little or no means out of their situation.
