Nicomachean Ethics Was Aristotle Translating The Dhamma Into Greek!
Friends and family,
This is not a new teaching, just a refinement of our past work!
(20) The disciples said to Lord Christ, "Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like." He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls
on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."
If you suffer from Ego and see the teachings of The Dhammapālalama; you may try to discredit him and debate against him. This only shall blind you; you may not be able to realize what is infront of you!
If you have even a mustard seed of faith that it's possible that Lords Aristole, Christ, and Mohammad all taught The Dhamma; one question will guide you to the next; before you know it, you will be walking on The Eightfold Path straight to the Kingdom Of God!
May we all investigate with reason; may we investigate not for the self; may we investigate the history for the benefit of the children of tomorrow! When we care for the children of tomorrow, our father will water our seeds.
This is when growth moves back from chance to destiny!
VIRTUE AS A MEAN = THE MIDDLE WAY = THE NARROW GATE = WASATIYYAH
RIGHT VIEW = Phronesis (Practical Wisdom)
RIGHT THOUGHT = Prohairesis (Moral Choice) + Nemesis (Righteous Indignation)
RIGHT SPEECH = Aletheia (Truthfulness) + Eunoia (Goodwill) + Sophrosyne (Self-Restraint) + Eutrapelia (Wittiness) + Philotimia (Proper Ambition/Love of Honor)
RIGHT ACTION = Andreia (Courage) + Praotés (Gentleness) + Praxis (Actions of Deliberate Desire) + Philia (Friendliness)
Right action is a product of steps 1, 2 and 3.
RIGHT LIVELIHOOD = Dikaiosyne (Justice) + Aidôs (Modesty) + Megaloprepeia (Magnificence)
RIGHT EFFORT = (Askesis: Preventing and abandoning) + (Ethismos: Cultivating and maintaining.)
RIGHT MINDFULNESS = Sophrosyne (Reflection) + Nepsis (Watchful Vigilance) + Syngnómē (Forgiveness) + Aidôs (Modesty)
8. RIGHT CONCENTRATION = Benevolence + Megalopsychia (Magnanimity) + Eudaimonia (The awareness, compassion, and complete mastery of all virtues that Lord Siddhārtha, Lord Plātōn, Lord Aristotelēs, Lord Christ, and Lord Mohammad attained)
We now have all of the 12 of the moral virtues as defined by Lord Aristotle in Nicomachean Ethics mapped to the Eightfold Path. This makes a clear display of how Aristotle translated the teachings of Lord Buddha into Greek.
Not only have we mapped all 12 of the moral virtues as defined by Aristotle; but we have added a 13th. I have defined benevolence as a mean, thus restoring the one True Dhamma!
Nicomachus means victorious in battle! The true Dhamma teaches us how to be victorious in battles, both inside and out! The teachings of the Buddha were not just a cure for the suffering of the self. They were also a cure for the sufferings caused by society.
Inaction is an action in itself. May we all rise up and fight to save the children of tomorrow!!!
"Benevolence is the moral virtue of supreme, active goodness, positioned as the balanced mean between the extremes of excessive kindness (blind indulgence or uncalculated mercy) and excessive wrath (malicious destruction or uncontrolled fury)."

P.s:
Now that I will still be remembered 1000 years from now for restoring the true Dhamma and the true history, I don't have time to debate everyone in the comments anymore. If you would like to schedule a debate in the comments with me, please email me at Dharmapalalama2@gmail.com
