"eating" here means to elevate oneself by one's teacher, use reputations for own or different interests, good householder. Not always, but merely seldom, do disciples of teachers with good reputation actualky follow the taught, but simply "eat" their teacher. Doing for heavens, and able to let...

Who ever whould investigate, wouldn't find any refuge there. It's seldom that a Buddha appears in the world, it's seldom to meet a Sublime Buddhas disciples, seldom to be able to listen to his teachings. How would a God, even if a Noble One, do such? How could one meet a Brahma?

The comparison would be in regard of this, yes, in regard of what to do to fall not into the trap of holding on something, subject to decay, again. Going beyond of what's not regardable as own, no refuge, a cancer.

Oldage, sickness and death either. So what does "the sun" suggest to go beyond the whole mass of suffering, good Tony?

Sure? Own perceptions might be different from that of teacher. "Eating" teacher isn't something uncommon. So what does he teach yours to do and not to do, to gain pleasing in this world and the next.

Seeking such, the reason, is pointed out in the quoted text. To make one understanding how such views come into existence, on which bases those ideas are proclaimed, good Tony. That's fine, same, same.

Does good householder know them, or better what they told, tell?

Does good Tony has any question?

Goood householder didn't made any comparison yet.

The greedy what it all... No, no, spirituality is about letting go of what's no refuge to be able to take on more sublime, good householder.

So then, good OupaPiet: Why does one follow Jesus and not the Buddha? (Or vici versa)

Atma thought that some might like to go into such comparative topic. Just leaving "no should"s but "if, then" as additional teaser.

What would be the use of it? It would't solve good householders real problem. Beings wander on from birth, aging, sickness to death, driven by craving and not-knowing, a beginning point can't be imagined. So it's about coming to something real evident. And again, good to go with a topic.

No. It's about real evidenz and void of extremes, good householder. About Noble Truth. (and it's not wrong to read the topic's intro, so to focus on the topic)

It's good, a blessing, to know the highest blessings, and count them:

Sadhu, that's a good deed.

from the Brahmajāla Sutta: The Brahmā Net

Suffering is an effect of taking on what's not required, no refuge, not real, good householder. No. Desire for sensuality, desire for becoming or not-becoming, has always suffering as it's effect. What ever good householder does, moment for moment, is all just a try to escape it. That's a good...

Just to be clear, good householder. Althought developing karuna (compassion) toward all being leads one toward the Brahma realm, if taken on on right view, and put right into practice, and althought right resolve (renouncing, no-ill-will, conflictlessness) leads to right virtue and helps by that...
