Like as if knowing the mind of co-dweller here, just as the foolish thought of walking alone arose in Bhante
Subhadhammo yesterday evening, Nyom
Vilā had read the
Upali Sutta . Bhante getting the Buddhas approach heard in the morning, nevertheless thinks he's smarter then Upali, or possible out of other more lower reason does not abound conceit.
Desire for free touch, desire for liberality while still slave of Mara, only few are able to trace the net of defilements once caught, so Bhante will possible be another of the many Ahara-hants wandering on without just following the Gems map the Buddha left back for his disciples.
Children are only willing to be taimed when getting knowing goodness and dwell on gratitude. Once the trace of right view is lost, no way to enter the path again, unless Dukkha arises again, and the "womb" of the Gems is still open.
