Dude, don't say anything if you don't know.Mahabrahma wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 8:25 pm Arhats can be considered as causing an offense, yet it is in no way their fault, it would be coming from an outside source. However for this outside negative source to be pinned down, the Sangha has to help stop the behaviour in a Buddhist Way, in order for the Arhat to be free of that negativity that is no way "of them."
Don't misrepresent one who you don't have any understanding yet. Don't block your own path and create a big road block.
Minor rules are just worldly rule. Worldly rules change all the time and can be differ from one area to another or time to time, so unless someone tell the arahant. The arahant might not even know that they have broken the minor rules.
But an Ariya can't break the ariyan precepts ever:
- killing
- steal
- lie or any wrong speech
- sex
These precepts are maintained for 24 hours non stop.
