to add on, there are people who think that by exalting some

Well, they did not hear or receive the dhamma in this lifetime, but
someday they will, either in present life or next life and so
on.
Most religions either expound their one god creator or polyglot, ie
many gods and deliverance / emancipation is to accept the god to
his kingdom / heaven.
Its refreshing to see that Buddhism is unlike that, which is like a
fresh of breath air in this time and age. Althought it is said that
it is easy to comprehend / practise the dhamma, but in fact its
not.
How many can safely say they are not afflicted by greed, lust and
ill-will?
