Poverty spirits

Post by jet.urgyen »

When an oracle counsels "eliminate obstacles of poverty spirits" what does it mean? It means some sort of preta?
true dharma is inexpressible.

The bodhisattva nourishes from bodhicitta, through whatever method the Buddha has given him. Oh joy.

I would think so.
Maybe it could be taken as instruction to be more generous

i mean thank you, through what you have said "Maybe it could be taken as instruction to be more generous" i understood that the obstacles of poverty spirits are not obstacles created by them, intead are obstacles created by a strong attachment that actually impedes the attainment of the desired thing :)
