[@KirathanVelayudhan]

Dear Sir, What is the path?

[@kasunbandara6362]

Is there any person to go on the path ? Because we are non-self.

[@KirathanVelayudhan]

@kasunbandara6362 if that is the case then the Buddha gave 8 fold path and 37 Bodhipakhiya dhamma etc. If there is no path then how we understand non self. We will be always deluded. Isn't it?

[@RenukaJayawardhana]

@@KirathanVelayudhan a thing to practice is watch the mind, be in consciousness when you feel sad, anger, happiness, this is called chittanupassenawa, and then in consciousness be aware you realized this, and you don't like to be in that state and be happy, this was a trait possesed by Lord Buddha, and arahants this will bring you kusal

[@RenukaJayawardhana]

@@KirathanVelayudhan the suffering is not in the outside world, it is in the mind, the understanding will set you free, you think this is mine house, car, degree, etc, but if it was so, would we have to leave it behind, so if you understand that this is a cause and effect relationship and nothing is happening because we are doing, but life itself is a phenomena just like the sun rises and sets, the moment we realize this, we are free from much suffering. Because even if our car gets scratched we understand that its effect of causes, we don't get sad, and angry. So we can study hard for an exam, but either we pass or fail, we don't get sadness or happiness to the degree we previously used to before understanding (i am telling based on my understanding based on practice, so please forgive me for any errors), because we understand it happened because of the causes and effects. So now I am living on very less or none expectations in life. The moment our expectations are not realized we suffer (for example, I expect that if I study hard, I should get a good grade, but it need not be, since on the day of the exam I might get a terrible headache, without expectations, the suffering is so less, we study, but we know that we may pass or fail)

[@eshanthasamarasekera5007]

Bhagawath Buddha, totally reject "God " concept !! Human "mind" is the culprit. In any Buddha dhamma learned person acknowledges . The base of " dependent origination " (patichch-asamuppadaya ) explained in positive & negative ways. Ultimate truth of universal nature, in Human conditioning & "phenomenon".

[@Apexbeing]

The monks have to deal with all types of people with different religions, it's possible that those people would feel hurt if the monks say there is no God. That's why they use these quotes for them to feel comfortable and be attentive. I don't think there should be a problem in this. They do this out of compassion. Once the ignorant mind understands Cause and Effect, it would automatically realise the truth
