“..where you mentioned that devas cannot help humans.”
I meant to say that Devas (or any living being) cannot lead anyone to Nibbana. One has to learn the true and correct Buddha Dhamma to attain Nibbana.
– Nibbana is attained by understanding the Four Noble Truths and then following the Noble Eightfold Path.
– Understanding Tilakkhana and Paticca Samuppada will facilitate comprehending the Noble Truths.
– The First Noble Truth is to see that suffering is present everywhere in this world of 31 realms. Births in the Deva and Brahma realms can lead to less suffering, but only until that existence lasts. There is no refuge anywhere in the 31 realms. That is what is meant by the “anatta nature of this world”.
Devas can help humans in some ways.
– Humans can also help Devas by offering the merits of punna kammas.
