(Of all Lord Buddha's disciples, Sariputta Thero was best able to understand and explain the Dharma, and in this way he was only second to Lord Buddha himself. Once Lord Buddha said to him: "You are wise, Sariputta, great and wide is your wisdom, joyful and quick is your wisdom, sharp and analytical is your wisdom. Just as the eldest son of a Universal Monarch rules rightly as his father did, even so do you turn the wheel of the Dharma just as I have." [ N3 ] Such regard did Lord Buddha have for Sariputta Thero that he gave him the title General of the Dharma (Dharmasenapati).

A Clue for Open Minded Teaching and Learning

How to Teach- a discourse by Sriputta Thero preserved in the Tipiak- Buddhism When one teaches another he should first establish five things within himself and then teach. Let him think: 1.I will speak at the right time, not at the wrong time. 2.I will speak about what is, not about what is not. 3.I will speak with gentleness, not harshness. 4.I will speak about the goal, not about what is not the goal. 5.I will speak with a mind filled with love, not with a mind filled with ill-will. First establish these five things and then teach another.' (A.III,195).

The Three Characteristics and the Uncreate-in the words of Lord Buddha A Monk had difficulty in understanding the Sermon about Nirvana and The Uncreate and he asked: May I be permitted to ask a question?" When permission was granted he spoke as follows: [6] The Buddha teaches that all conformations are transient, " that all conformations are subject to sorrow, that all conformations and lacking a self. How then can there be Nirvana, a state of eternal bliss?" [7] And the Blessed One, in this connection, on that occasion, breathed forth this solemn utterance: [8]

There is, O monks, a state where there is neither earth, nor " water, nor heat, nor air; neither infinity of space nor infinity of consciousness, nor nothingness, nor perception nor nonperception;neither this world nor that world, neither sun nor moon. It is the uncreate. [9]

02

That, O monks, " I term neither coming nor going nor standing; neither death nor birth. It is without stability, without change; it is the eternal which never originates ,and never passes away. There is the end of sorrow. [10] It is hard to realize the essential, " the truth is not easily perceived; desire is mastered by him who knows, and to him who sees aright all things are naught. [11] There is, O monks, " an unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, unformed.** Were there not, O monks, this unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, unformed, there would be no escape from the world of the born, originated, created, formed. [12]
03

"Since, O monks, there is an unborn, unoriginated, uncreated, and unformed, therefore is there an escape from the born, originated, created, formed." [13] Ch26 ** This could be understood as the Uncreate as in the Quran Ch113 V1-4 (substitute the word Allah with Uncreate) Allah is an Arabic word for the Uncreate, and has far more attributes than I have presently understood from Lord Buddha's Teachings . Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. !!!!!!!!!!Almost the same

The Praise of All the Buddhas ## All the Buddhas are wonderful and glorious. There is not their equal upon earth. They reveal to us the path of life. And we hail their appearance with pious reverence. [1] All the Buddhas teach the same truth. They point out the path to those who go astray. *The truth is our hope and comfort. We gratefully accept its illumitable light. [2] # All the Buddhas are one in essence, ** Which is omnipresent in all modes of being, Sanctifying the bonds that tie all souls together, * And we rest in its bliss as our final refuge. [3] End Chapter 100 and The End From the above it is very clear many Buddhas would come, all will teach the same message, and help mankind to the right path. Please note that this is exactly what the Quran says: "The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith
05

#. Each one of them believes in God, His angels, His books, and His Messengers. They say: 'We make no distinction between one and another of His Messengers. And they say: 'We hear, and we obey. We seek Thy forgiveness, Our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys.'" (Al-Baqarah, 2:285) ##"And for every Ummah (a community or a nation), there is a Messenger; when their Messenger comes, the matter will be judged between them with justice, and they will not be wronged." (Qur'an 10:47) **The Prophet Muhammad said, "No babe is born but upon Fitra (belief in the UNCREATED). It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist." (Sahih Muslim, Book 033, Number 6426) **THE KAPAUKU PAPUANS (WEST GUINEA) THE RELIGION OF DINKA OF AFRICA http://www.themodernreligion.com/prophet/everynation.html

The material is taken from a book called The Kapauku Papuans Of West Guinea by Leopold Pospisil. It is a case study of Stone-Age Kapauku tribe [[1], pp. 96] who led their aboriginal lives undisturbed by the spreading western civilization until 1938 similar belief in the Uncreated # Buddhas/Messengers similarities and purpose ## Many Buddhas/Messengers to every nation through Time * The Truth- another word for Uncreate * Fitra- one in essence, which is omnipresent in all modes of being, (perhaps similar meaning) The Last Buddha, and how to Identify And Ananda Thero, suppressing his tears, said to the Blessed One: Who " shall teach us when thou art gone? [12] "

And the Blessed One replied: I am not the first Buddha who came upon earth, " nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax, and glorious at the goal, in the spirit and in the letter. He will proclaim a religous life, wholly perfect and pure; such as I now proclaim."[13] Ananda Thero said: H " ow shall we know him?" [14] The Blessed One said: "He will be known as Metteyya, 08

which means 'he whose name is kindness.'" [15] End Chapter 96 This is very interesting in that it gives definitive clues: 1.This should be the last Buddha, as he mentions of other Buddhas before and after. 2. An incomparable leader of men 3. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax, and glorious at the goal, in the spirit and in the letter. 4. He will be known as Metteyya, *Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) as per Quran is the last Messenger(Prophet) *It is the youngest Religion, yet the FASTEST growing Reliogion (as per Readers Digest) *Those who practice far outnumber other Religions and follow in Spirit and Letter *Preaching the Eternal Truth, and Brotherhood *The Whole World Reverberts with the Glory of Uncrate every moment of Time-Islamic Azan is said 5Times a day in every corner of the Earth
