Bhante
Ariyadhammika , again, the "failure" and "violation" does not come from the word in and of itself, but is always a matter of either right view and right intention or rebellion and ingratitude.
If Bhante would know my persons way a little, he would know that he is the last who makes saññas an object of a matter if the meaning is grasped but at the same time the largest if the meaning (for path) is not grasped.
What's, again, the purpose of the essay? To tell a whole tradition that they are small-minded fools? What counts, taken the advices, as own opinion? As Bhante surely knows, the Vinaya tells the own opinion to be the lowest refuge. Now, 2600 years after, comming up with "it's ok to say kamma of the Buddha", what is it? That what the Buddha, texts, tradition... tells or Bhantes result of investigation based on invalid logic at the same time?
The logic used here by him is like the logic western have in regard of greed. Because greed is akusala greed isn't a factor of the path. That's complet misunderstanding the point. Yet lobha isn't used to denote the path requirement. Chanda is also used in bad context. Understand the error?
While fressen, essen, speisen, dinnieren, einnehmen, zehren... can be used in many context, good or bad, fressen would nevertheless be used for a King, God or anything Sublime, not to speak if one does no more nurish.
A child, not better knowing, saying "Buddha frißt", a compassionate person would train to use better word so that at least not endangered by kamma in words and deeds. Sure minds kamma is still another matter, a child would not have really touched very akusala.
Again, there is no evidence that kamma is used for conducting by the Buddha, so what can be called an opinion here? And as one who has studied the Dhamma: Bhante should know well that a logic that works in the way Bhante uses here, does in many cases not work but fails.
Because einnehmen is found to be used in negative sense, it's ok to use fressen for Sublime.
Again, what's the intention, the purpose of the Essay. May Bhante tell my person that it is a pure one. As a meditator he may be able to investigate truthfully.
If Bhante would be someone not instructed, not seemingly in relation to the tradition, it could be seen as simply playing around, but he takes a stand in a leading possition with more responsibility then for opinion-battles for his favored targets.
Again, the matterial is wonderful if simply having the intent to show the Sublimity of the Buddha and really not good kamma if using it to pull the Sublime Buddha down as food for trade in the world, on the useless level of pseudo-liberality to make ones customers a favor.
If Bhantes intention of the essay and approach is actually really pure has a deeper, for the path even usefull purpose, may Bhante let it be known so that my person could regard the matter as simply "verfahrene unnütze Sache, wert zur Seite zu legen, zuzudecken".
May Bhante also keep in mind of not only puggala-kamma he conducts but also Sangha-kamma as being part of it and if remember his taks on the four factors influencing kamma to ripe, the proper estimate of the Sangha among people of right view has a huge impact for many. The Sangha becomes a not desired place to take birth if being no more praiseworthy regarded at large by wise.
Again, is the any reference that low estimated verbs are used to describe the conducting of the Buddha, did the tradition ever used the word kamma when the Buddha, an Aragat acts?
Good then to point out ways and word which can be used instead, as the tradition and devoted actually did (of which is object of wishing to destroy or pay no respect here, actually). Bhante would have the skill to pull people up rather the Tripple Gems down to them so that they feel pleased where they are.
It doesn't let Bhante shine if he walks the same low trade the many wester/modern do like children of ingratitude, to pick out the gross food to run their undertakings and trades in and for the world as another "previous wander of other sects" who could not abound basic wrong views. Ywt totally aware that such is not easy, takes time an would need much association with people of old tradition, Bhante might not have had and never really left home, the Deva-state, so many dwell. This state lets wholesome kamma easy ripe, but is a sphere difficult to understand the essence. If suffering is not well traced, if not having left palace, it's really difficult.
So may he meet the proper factors letting see both sides of kamma, the nice and the ugly.
