After enlightenment, the Buddha spoke:
> This Dhamma that I have attained is deep, hard to see, hard to

> to-be-experienced by the wise. But this generation delights in
> attachment, is excited by attachment, enjoys attachment. For a
> generation delighting in attachment, excited by attachment, enjoying

> Enough now with teaching what only with difficulty I reached. This

Was the Buddha judging people unfairly here because his mind was defiled (polluted) with self-conceit; narcistically believing he was better or superior than others? Was the Buddha polluted by the fetter of conceit (mana)?
