RE: Lineage and Caste in Early Buddhism

To walk the Buddhist Path you have to let go of your worldly family, that is what this article is stating. That doesn't mean you have to leave your family, you have to let go of identifying with what is me and mine. Many people including myself take these teachings as literal when they are speaking of something that happens within the heart not outside of oneself.

Yes, in my opinion the more spiritual belongingness is true and the materialistic attachments will vanish. Thanks for the kind response. 🙂
