(Of all Lord Buddha's disciples, SariputtaThero was best able to understand and explain

the Dharma, and in this way he was only secondto Lord Buddha himself. Once Lord Buddhasaid to him: "You are wise, Sariputta, great andwide is your wisdom, joyful and quick is your

wisdom, sharp and analytical is your wisdom.Just as the eldest son of a Universal Monarchrules rightly as his father did, even so do youturn the wheel of the Dharma just as I have." [N3 ] Such regard did Lord Buddha have for

Sariputta Thero that he gave him the titleGeneral of the Dharma (Dharmasenapati).

A Clue for Open MindedTeaching and Learning

How to Teach- a discourse by Sriputta Thero preserved in theTipiak- Buddhism

When one teaches another he should first establish five thingswithin 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 thewords of Lord BuddhaA Monk had difficulty in understanding the Sermon about

Nirvana and The Uncreate and he asked:May I be permitted to ask a question?"When permissionwas granted he spoke as follows: [6]

"The Buddha teaches that all conformations are transient,that all conformations are subject to sorrow, that allconformations 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, norwater, nor heat, nor air; neither infinity of space nor infinit

of consciousness, nor nothingness, nor perception nor non-perception;neither this world nor that world, neither sunnor moon. It is the uncreate. [9]

"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 passesaway.

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]

"Since, O monks, there is an unborn, unoriginated,uncreated, and unformed, therefore is there an escapefrom the born, originated, created, formed." [13] Ch26

** This could be understood as the Uncreate as in theQuran Ch113 V1-4 (substitute the word Allah withUncreate) Allah is an Arabic word for the Uncreate, and hasfar more attributes than I have presently understood fromLord 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 nottheir 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 thepath to those who go astray. *The truth is our hope andcomfort. 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 wouldcome, all will teach the same message, and help mankind tothe right path. Please note that this is exactly what theQuran says: "The Messenger believes in what has been

revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith

#. 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 endof all journeys.'" (Al-Baqarah, 2:285)

##"And for every Ummah (a community or a nation),there is a Messenger; when their Messenger comes, thematter 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 uponFitra (belief in the UNCREATED). It is his parents who makehim a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist." (Sahih Muslim, Book033, Number 6426)

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 truthswhich 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: "How shall we know him?"[14]

The Blessed One said:"He will be known as Metteyya,

Buddhas before and after.2. An incomparable leader of men

3. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at theclimax, 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 lastMessenger(Prophet)
