Why does the Buddha call the horoscope, the sentry, the superstition, "the devil"?
The Buddha called them "the Beast," because the word "the Beast" in the way of "transverse" or "transverse" does not refer to the four-footed beast, but to the subjects that block the way to heaven and Nirvana, and does not save from suffering.
The main reasons as shown in the Tripitaka (for example, in the Ordinary Formula can be summarized as follows:
1. Blocking Nirvana
* Low factional knowledge: These subjects pull the mind down.
* Barrier Prosperity: Make the Mind Obsessed with Greed, Fear, and Craving
* Not out of distress: does not save passion or destroy the root of suffering.
*
2. Destroy the karma principle (Gummuskta)
* Rely on something else: Make people turn to rely on fate, stars, or external sacred things.
* Neglect Action: Obscure Belief in Karma and Its Fruits (Do Good, Do Bad)
* Lack of development: Instead of correcting at one's own actions, go back to correcting at exorcisms or fetish worship.
*
3. Is a crook for primitives
* Monastic prohibition: The Buddha strictly forbade monks and nuns to study or make a living with these subjects.
* Deceiving the People: Using horoscopes or superstitions to raise money constitutes undisciplined conduct and destroys the people's devotion.
*
So these subjects are classified as "transverse science," which makes humans waste time and miss opportunities to develop their minds to reach true happiness in the way of Buddhism.
