After enlightenment, the Buddha spoke: > This Dhamma that I have attained is deep, hard to see, hard to > realize, peaceful, refined, beyond the scope of conjecture, subtle, > 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 > attachment, this/that conditionality and dependent co-arising are hard > to see. This state, too, is hard to see: the resolution of all > fabrications, the relinquishment of all acquisitions, the ending of > craving; dispassion; cessation; Unbinding. And if I were to teach the > Dhamma and if others would not understand me, that would be tiresome > for me, troublesome for me. > > > Enough now with teaching what only with difficulty I reached. This > Dhamma is not easily realized by those overcome with aversion & > passion. > > What is abstruse, subtle, deep, hard to see, going against the flow > — those delighting in passion, cloaked in the mass of darkness, won't > see. 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)?
