Who Are You? Why Buddha Stayed Silent: A Deeper Insight

Question: Who Are You? Why Buddha Stayed Silent: A Deeper Insight Buddhism explained.
#anatta #buddha #buddhism
Today's podcast we like to talk more aboutto talk more about why the Buddha refused to get involved in the issue of whether there is or is not a self.
The first point is that the Buddha's teaching was strategic, aimed at leading to a specific goal: total freedom in the minds of his listeners. The second point is that, as part of this larger strategy, the Buddha had strategic reasons for putting questions of the existence or non-existence of the self aside.
Part of his teaching strategy was to divide questions into four types, based on how they should be best approached for the purpose of putting an end to suffering and stress [Anguttara Nikaya AN 4.42]. The first type includes those that deserve a categorical answer: in other words, a straight "yes"" or "no," "this" or "that," with no exceptions. The second type includes questions that deserve an analytical answer, in which the Buddha would reanalyze the question before answering it. The third type includes questions that deserve a counter-question. In other words, he would question the questioner before answering the original question. And the fourth type includes questions that deserve to be put aside as useless - or even harmful - in the quest to put an end to suffering. And, as I said, the questions, "Is there a self? Is there no self?" are ones he put aside.

It is to realize. There is noway to convey the realization, because there is noway to construct words that can explain the realization.

The Buddha's teachings on ultimate truths contain in Thripitaka and commentaries. The Buddha explained the process of ultimate truths to heavenly beings, and he repeated a summary of it to Ven. Sariputta Maha Thera. Thank you.

There are some people who has long tongue that can touches their nose or even to their forehead.
There are some people their tongue is short they can't even extend it out of their mouth.
Buddha's tongue can cover his entire face.
What is reason for such great differences?
Telling lies is one of the five precepts.
Anyone that don't tell lies for three lifetimes will have long tongue.
Buddha never lies that is why the Buddha's tongue is exceptionally long and wide.
When we encounter someone who is telling lies, they will carry bad breath when they speak.
A person with strong body's odour is an indication of dimming aura.

Don't go insane!

For the last time Lord Buddha was NOT silent. He said the sacrifice of Dhamma is the self. One who sees Dhamma sees me.
Lord Buddha completed and perfected the sacrifice of precepts and paramis.
In Nichiren Buddhism there is the concept of the oneness of the person and law.
That’s why Nichiren shoshu Buddhists are true Buddhists - they actually understand the Buddhas teachings.

Nichiren is the True guru of the latter day of the law!

[@Jaikananda]

Buddha is not a Lord.

[@saddha1]

Buddha is THE True Lord. REAL Buddhists knows this.
