Hello,
This is Mr. Grimnasty, grumpy Hinayanist misanthrope, wishing you a good day. Or if not "good", then at least a day that's less intolerable than it might otherwise have been.

welcome aboard
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

If you don't have that copywrited, I'd love to put that on my business cards...

Thank you for your welcome.
I expect the reason is simply samsaric atavism. When you've spent as many aeons as I have as a Brahma deity in the Abhassara world, it's no picnic when your merit gets exhausted and you pass away from that state and plummet back down to the human realm with all its insufferable grossness.

Welccome aboard even if DW is a sorry excuse for the Brahma-realms!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
