And in digha Nikaya, 16.6.1
The Buddha said that after he had mahaparinibbana, Only the Dhamma and Vinaya will be our teachers.
Dear Waisaka
So would you say that when you were in school and refered to your teacher as a teacher, you were actually lying? 😊
In my humble opinion, if the Sutta is your light, use the Sutta. If the whole Tipitakka is your light, use the whole Tipitakka. There is a saying: the more the words, the less the meaning. Only 3 words are necessary: anicca, dukkha, anatta.
May all have a true light in their lives. 🙏
