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.
