Was Buddha motivation for liberation solely for His own ?
Re: Was Buddha motivation for liberation solely for His own ?
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Yes and I do karma heists most of the time and they don't have any knowledge about it whatsoever

True and they have no knowledge about how to differ good from evil and Mara is very clever and cunning. As if a deaf man has no knowledge whatsoever about sound. And a colourblind person has no knowledge about colour. Their intelligence are handicapped.

I think a lot of the karmic aspects aren't discussed enough in Buddhism since the focus of Buddhism is to defeat samsara.

What do you mean? I'm not Christian but I studied the Bible. Much of the later parts of the new testament are purely made up. Jesus never said any of those. It's political because they are trying to highjack his teachings.

I'm sorry but I don't think so. It's a secret test and we are disgusting cockroaches to them. Would the Micheline guy tell you first if he was about to inspect your place so you could put up a fake smile? Again pardon me, I have no intention to offend anyone.

Moderator note: would people please return to topic now?

So, are you saying that if you have not attained nibbana, you can’t help others toward liberation?cappuccino wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 1:06 pm
Of course if you help yourself, only then can you help others
If that were true, then what is the point of unenlightened monks and other Buddhists who have not attained nibbana spreading the dhamma if it is not helpful?

Everyone seeking the goal is closer than others who do not seek

The Buddha wasn't interested in conquering Satan or God because he already did it numerous and multiple times in his many previous past lives. He was only interested in conquering samsara.
