It's (on the essence) very related to the OP. The total dependency on not only nessecary in regard of kusala but also the kalyanamitta, which is the primarily factor for awakening. If in dependency with those not aiming and headed to awakening, or arrived, what even gift isn't purified, doesn't lead to release and often increases bonds.

Something that makes it difficult for many today tracing more liberality in pseudo-liberality that lures with ease in material gains, which includes food for the intelligent.

There is one essay which has a very unfortunate title and with it suggestion that aims may be more of value as the means, by Bhante, called "Think like a thief ", which is a very missleading advice (althought the message of the words in it, isn't that much) also in regard of gaining understanding. It's not easy to trace the backwards before, but later one findes himself well bond by debts toward those heading for the world.

Sila, based on right view, is the cause of the path develops, not even intention for effort of the next factors required.

As the essay is merely just on the surface, it's nevertheless good to apply the message also on very refined issues, Nyom.

Dear Bhante,
Thank you for the link to Bhante Thanissaro’s essay. _/\_ _/\_ _/\_

There is good essay, by Ven Thanissaro, on the requirement of duality to get beyond it: Safety in a Duality , Nyom.

Either in wrong relation or thinking beyond before having gained relation gives only for seldom Paccecabuddhas spheres to gain it. Since a very modern appearance (long living in areas and sociaties of pseudo liberality), it's something importand for may.

* Johann : Nyom saddhamma , sources coming from the "Robin Hood" and his related host of thieves aren't really means of Dhamma in line with Dhamma, just if wondering why, if possible, replaced.

Sadhu, sadhu Bhante. _/\_ _/\_ _/\_

Here are some excerpts from the Buddha’s discourse on contemplation of dyads to drive the point home:

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

"Now, if there are any who ask, 'Would there be the right contemplation of dualities in yet another way?' they should be told, 'There would.' 'How would that be?' 'For one who is dependent, there is wavering': this is one contemplation. 'One who is independent doesn't waver': this is a second contemplation. For a monk rightly contemplating this duality in this way — heedful, ardent, & resolute — one of two fruits can be expected: either gnosis right here & now, or — if there be any remnant of clinging-sustenance — non-return."

That is what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-gone, the Teacher, said further:


One who's independent
doesn't
   waver.
One who's dependent,
clinging
   to this state here
   or anywhere else,
doesn't go beyond
   the wandering-on.
Knowing this drawback —
   the great danger in
   dependencies —
in-
dependent,
free from clinging,
   mindful the monk
   lives the wandering life.

"Now, if there are any who ask, 'Would there be the right contemplation of dualities in yet another way?' they should be told, 'There would.' 'How would that be?' 'Whatever is considered as "This is bliss" by the world with its devas, Maras, & Brahmas, with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & commonfolk, is rightly seen as it actually is with right discernment by the noble ones as "This is stressful"': this is one contemplation. 'Whatever is considered as "This is stressful" by the world with its devas, Maras, & Brahmas, with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & commonfolk, is rightly seen as it actually is with right discernment by the noble ones as "This is bliss"': this is a second contemplation. For a monk rightly contemplating this duality in this way — heedful, ardent, & resolute — one of two fruits can be expected: either gnosis right here & now, or — if there be any remnant of clinging-sustenance — non-return."

That is what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-gone, the Teacher, said further:


All sights, sounds, smells, tastes,
tactile sensations, & ideas
that are    welcome,
          appealing,
          agreeable —
as long as they're said
   to exist,
are supposed by the world
together with its devas
          to be bliss.
      But when they cease,
      they're supposed by them
          to be stress.
The stopping of self-identity
is viewed by the noble ones
      as bliss.
This is contrary
to what's seen
by the world as a whole.

What others say is blissful,
the noble ones say is stress.
What others say is stressful,
the noble know as bliss.
See the Dhamma, hard to understand!
   Here those who don't know
   are confused.
For those who are veiled,
   it's   darkness,
              blindness
   for those who don't see.
But for the good it is blatant,
like light
for those who see.
Though in their very presence,
they don't understand it —
dumb animals, unadept in the Dhamma.
It's not easy
for those overcome
   by passion for becoming,
flowing along
   in the stream of becoming,
falling under Mara's sway,
   to wake up
   to this Dhamma.

Who, apart from the noble,
is worthy to wake up
to this state? —
   the state that,
   through rightly knowing it,
   they're free from fermentation,
          totally
                  unbound.

That is what the Blessed One said. Gratified, the monks delighted in the Blessed One's words. And while this explanation was being given, the minds of 60 monks, through lack of clinging, were fully released from fermentation.

And what are the six fear of independency?

The is the fear that eye is no more related (in relation) to form, that becoming, birth, stand on touch on the eye would no more arise.

The fear that ear is no more related to sound, that becoming, birth, stand on touch on the eye would no more arise.

There is the fear that nose is no more related to smell, that becoming, birth, stand on touch on the nose would no more arise.

There is the fear that tongue is no more related to tast, that becoming, birth, stand on touch on the tongue would no more arise.

There is the fear that body is no more related to bodily touch, that becoming, birth, stand on touch on the body would no more arise.

And there is the fear that intellect is no more related to thoughts, that becoming, birth, stand on touch on the intellect would no more arise.

Seeing this becoming, taking birth, taking stand on the senses as a refuge, a secure place to dwell, one stays in relation to Mara, in his dependency, in relation to birth, aging, sickness, and death and the whole mass of suffering. Holding on relation to Mara, on does not go forth, not leaving old relatives behind, one does not gain independency, stays caught in the circle of life.

Having not gained relation with the Noble domain, not bound to independency by having been touched by those three seldom appearing persons in the world, it's more than insecure to ever meet the change for dependency toward independency ever again in ones wandering on.

Sādu, sādu Bhante  :-* :-* :-*

I would like to add the Tathāgata to your auspicious list for completeness. The Tathāgata, sekha and asekha are the three kalyanamittas who arise in the world for the welfare of many, for the happiness of many, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans. Their taste of liberation due to the well proclaimed dhamma enable them to guide devas and humans to savor the same taste of liberation, like the tongue tastes the flavor of the soup. Many are those who have not tasted liberation but take on the impossible task of guiding others to taste liberation like the spoon that tastes the flavor of the soup.


Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

§ 84. For the Welfare of Many

{Iti 3.35; Iti 78 } audio [Alternate translation: Thanissaro]

This was said by the Lord…

“Bhikkhus, these three persons appearing in the world appear for the welfare of many people, for the happiness of many people, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans. What three?

“Here, bhikkhus, a Tathagata appears in the world, an Arahant, a Fully Enlightened One, possessing perfect knowledge and conduct, a sublime one, a world-knower, an unsurpassed leader of persons to be tamed, a teacher of devas and humans, an enlightened one, a Lord. He teaches Dhamma that is good at the outset, good in the middle, and good at the end, with its correct meaning and wording, and he proclaims the holy life in its fulfillment and complete purity. This, bhikkhus, is the first person appearing in the world who appears for the welfare of many people, for the happiness of many people, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans.

“Next, bhikkhus, there is a disciple of that teacher, an arahant, one whose taints are destroyed, the holy life fulfilled, who has done what had to be done, laid down the burden, attained the goal, destroyed the fetters of being, and is completely released through final knowledge. He teaches Dhamma… and he proclaims the holy life in its fulfillment and complete purity. This, bhikkhus, is the second person appearing in the world… for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans.

“And next, bhikkhus, there is a disciple of that teacher, a learner who is following the path, who has learned much and is of virtuous conduct. He teaches Dhamma… and he proclaims the holy life in its fulfillment and complete purity. This, bhikkhus, is the third person appearing in the world… for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans.
“These, bhikkhus, are the three persons appearing in the world who appear for the welfare of many people, for the happiness of many people, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans.”

   
The teacher, the great sage,
Is the first in the world;
Following him is the disciple
Whose composure is perfected;
And then the learner training on the path,
One who has learned much and is virtuous.

These three are chief amongst devas and humans:
Illuminators, preaching Dhamma,
Opening the door to the Deathless,
They free many people from bondage.

Those who follow the path
Well taught by the unsurpassed
Caravan-leader, who are diligent
In the Sublime One's dispensation,
Make an end of suffering
Within this very life itself.

Yet, while ordinary people are always after binding, there are only two people, when giving, giving toward release: Sekha and Asekha.

And the are only two people causing one release when being given: Sekha and Asekha.

Or one could say: increase the bonds toward independency, by giving into by body, speech and mind, on one side, or two, purified.

And yet the doubtless perception of Sekha or Asekha, is what counts, and the dedication toward it/them.

Beings at large fear nothing more then independence, nothing more at the same time then dependency.

Pulling others into being dependent on them, denying debts toward others at the same time.

Full of "creator god" this worlds.
