      Yes, and the textual tradition has to be read as incomplete, and as performing various functions other than Recording Exactly How it All Went Down. I doubt that "serene confidence" was the only experience he had when he saw the monk

      A mix of desperation, curiosity, derring-do, fear, faith, doubt, defiance was, as likely as not, roiling underneath the lid of serene confidence. That confidence (borne of inspiration) was no doubt powerful, but how could it have been serene?

      And you may recall that he subsequently disowned such practices (i.e., self-mortification) as providing no relief from suffering.

      Oh my goodness, of course I know that. The point I'm making is that I highly doubt that it's useful (anymore) to portray Siddhattha as already embodying "serene confidence".

      Think about what it would mean for a human being to be raised in a pleasure palace and to be lied to about the basic facts of mortality. People need to understand how shocking the implications of the mythos / origin story actually are.

      Exactly my point. Existential shock is a necessary ingredient of the path. It is not to be conflated with the goal, or with deep depression. When paired with serene confidence, it leads onward to liberation.

      We could have a debate show, like youtube livestreams or a podcast "Sutra v. Tantra" Anyways, let's wrap this up, and not bother Maria's TL too much more. I want to appreciate you, @NoaidiX, for highlighting for me the importance of "existential shock".

      Was this a debate? In my experience, sutra and tantra are by no means opposing. Appreciation to you as well.
