Rael Buddhism

So I have heard.  At one time, when he was first awakened, the Buddha was staying in Uruvela at the root of the goatherd’s banyan tree on the bank of the Neranjara River. Then, as he was in private retreat this thought came to his mind,       “One without respect and reverence lives in suffering. What ascetic or brahmin should I honor and respect and rely on?” Then it occurred to him: It would be for the sake of fulfilling an unfulfilled aspect of virtue that I would honor, respect, and stay following the guidance of another ascetic or brahmin. But, in this world with its gods, Mara, and Brahma, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans, I do not see another ascetic or brahmin more accomplished in virtue than myself, whom I could honor, respect, and remain following his guidance. It would be for the sake of fulfilling an unfulfilled aspect of samadhi that I would honor, respect, and stay following the guidance of another ascetic...

Linked Discourse 51.15 with Unnabha Brahmin So I have heard.  At one time Venerable Ananda was staying near Kosambi, in Ghosita’s Monastery. Then, Unnabha the brahmin went up to Venerable Ananda, and exchanged greetings with him. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to him,       “Worthy Ananda, what’s the purpose of leading the spiritual life under the ascetic Gotama?” Venerable Ananda replied:      “The purpose of leading the spiritual life under the Buddha, brahmin, is to give up desire.” Unnabha said:      “But is there a path and a practice for giving up that desire?” Venerable Ananda replied:      “There is.” Unnabha asked:      “What is that path?” Venerable Ananda replied:      “It’s when a monk develops the basis of psychic power that has samadhi due to enthusiasm … energy … mental development … inquiry, and active effor...

Middle Length Discourse 53 The Buddha's Trainee So I have heard.  At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Sakyans, near Kapilavatthu in the Banyan Tree Monastery. Now at that time a new town hall had recently been constructed for the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu. It had not yet been occupied by an ascetic or brahmin or any person at all. Then the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: “Sir, a new town hall has recently been constructed for the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu. It has not yet been occupied by an ascetic or brahmin or any person at all. May the Buddha be the first to use it, and only then will the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu use it. That would be for the lasting welfare and happiness of the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu.”  The Buddha consented with silence. Then, knowing that the Buddha had consented, the Sakyans got up from their seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on their right. Then they w...
