I missed the following question from Jittananto yesterday:

In the suttas, we see Lord Buddha and other venerable arahants talking about their abilities in various fields. Why would this not be considered pride in this case?”

  • The Buddha (and Arahants) always tried to inspire others by pointing out the possibilities (what could be achieved if one puts in the effort). 
  • That is not pride; it was done with compassion.
