How Authentic are Buddhist Scriptures?

[Dawnofhope]

Well, trade with conceit works in that way and fools/blind follow at large such. Much success in believing you are secure in following your defilement while "We" and "Self" worshiping.

Communism/marxism is all and ever present, yet it is fundamental the death of any religion... be sure that the Buddha didn't taught and advocated such. It's just secular eating of their parents of what is left for those with less hope (faith).

The comment about secular eating reminded me of the words of the venerable Dalai Lama:

But while His Holiness clearly enjoyed some of the dishes – particularly the yummy Sri Lankan vegetarian curry – he refused to render judgments: "As a Buddhist monk it is not right to prefer this food or that food," he said.

Why not judge the food? Maybe His Holiness didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. It is also an ancient rule for Buddhist nuns and monks to eat whatever food they are given as alms, without judging whether it is tasty or not. And that takes us to the issue of likes and dislikes.

Good that the Daily Lama has less to do with Buddha and his teachings... either in saying or behaviour. Of what has more value, equanimity/ignorance or right speech, the Buddha was clear, Brahman Adrian. Potaliya Sutta: Potaliya

Not everything that a man knoweth can be disclosed, nor can everything that he can disclose be regarded as timely, nor can every timely utterance be considered as suited to the capacity of those who hear it.’ Such is the consummate wisdom to be observed in thy pursuits. Be not oblivious thereof, if thou wishest to be a man of action under all conditions. First diagnose the disease and identify the malady, then prescribe the remedy, for such is the perfect method of the skilful physician.

Not even the Buddha thought that he could help any sick, and therefore didn't gave his patient grow in such pride, Brahman Andrian, and to stay with it on topic and authentic, know why some get medicine: AN 3.22: Gilana Sutta — Sick People

I thought this thread was about Buddhism. Shucks.
