The main point here is: Chanting alone doesn't lead to Enlightenment. And if a person think by reciting gatha or mantras alone can make a person gain Enlightenment, that makes that person similar to those misguided ones.
I am sure many here never take chanting alone can lead to liberation .
But you appear didnt state clearly what is
Silabbata paramasa .
Yet, this becomes topic. It seems certain people here called themselves Buddhist yet agreeable to behave like a Hindu.
I already said "And if a person think by reciting gatha or mantras alone can make a person gain Enlightenment, that makes that person similar to those misguided ones."
If a person thinks and believed that:"Now I chanting, chant a lot, therefore I'm Buddhist. Because of my chanting, this chanting only makes me capable of be Enlightened." Now imo this is Silabbata paramasa, partaking wrong interpretation of Buddhism too.
