Dear friends in the Dhamma:
 
Telling by some of the responses to my comment #52165, I realize that I failed in getting my meaning across correctly.
 
By ………. “was beyond the capacity of the common people“(first para), and “…….had to be devised for the common folk“(second para) no ideas of social, class or caste distinctions were intended. The Buddha put it perfectly:  ‘only few would understand’  Why? Because of (the lack of) merits, the eligibility. Few are those who at any time are ready for the Teaching.  Nothing to do with my or anyone else’s high standards or high levels;  with the  low , humble and uneducated.  As a matter of fact, conceit is one of the hindrances, and one of the hardest to remove, at that.
 
On a personal note. I find I am settling in nicely here. The nursing staff are wonderful. Mostly Asian.
 
 I thank all those who have wished me well, irrespective of their views. I am certain that the intentions are all of goodwill:  that all may ultimately find the Path to Eternal Bliss
 
May all attain the Deathless.
