https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitak ... .than.html"Answering in this way, my friend, he would answer them correctly: 'Just now, as I was staying at Savatthi, some urgent business arose at Saketa; and between Savatthi and Saketa seven relay chariots were made ready for me. Coming out the door of the inner palace in Savatthi, I got in the first relay chariot. By means of the first relay chariot I reached the second relay chariot. Getting out of the first relay chariot I got in the second relay chariot. By means of the second relay chariot I reached the third... by means of the third I reached the fourth... by means of the fourth, the fifth... by means of the fifth, the sixth... by means of the sixth I reached the seventh relay chariot. Getting out of the sixth relay chariot I got in the seventh relay chariot. By means of the seventh relay chariot I finally arrived at the door of the inner palace at Saketa.' Answering in this way, he would answer them correctly.
Saketa has an equvilent but since this thread is not in connection to other paths I will leave for further individual research
2. Purity in terms of mind is simply for the sake of purity in terms of view
3. Purity in terms of view is simply for the sake of purity in terms of the overcoming of perplexity
4. Purity in terms of the overcoming of perplexity is simply for the sake of purity in terms of knowledge & vision of what is & is not the path
5. Purity in terms of knowledge & vision of what is & is not the path is simply for the sake of purity in terms of knowledge & vision of the way
6. Purity in terms of knowledge & vision of the way is simply for the sake of purity in terms of knowledge & vision
7. Purity in terms of knowledge & vision is simply for the sake of total Unbinding through lack of clinging
And it's for the sake of total Unbinding through lack of clinging that the holy life is lived under the Blessed One.
….
basically to me this above small quote says that the blessed one isn't one single being unique to 500 AD but is a consciousness like idk for christians its Jesus through whom one become saved, so its a consciousness or something like that too."My friend, is the holy life lived under the Blessed One?"
"Yes, my friend."
