He immediately called everyone to a meeting in which the Buddha preached about what respect one should have for one's seniors and elders.

If Sariputra let the new bhiksus rest first and was happy doing so and this was agreed upon...I mean, the bhiksus may have said "no my elder one it is you who should be resting" and Sariputra may have said "it's okay, I don't mind at all" and the bhiksus may have said "are you sure? don't wanna put you out or anything" and Sariputra would have said "nah, go on, it's fine...we gonna stand here all night debating this when the beds go empty with nobody sleeping there?...go on, with my blessing"...how is Sariputra being disrespected and why should Buddha thus get angry?

You seriously crack me up SD

Yes most people do, no problem, I'll just keep watering my flowers hoping they'll produce buds which will produce more flowers and the cycle goes on

A certain member on here (who shall remain nameless) has been following me around on this forum, replying to basically all my posts with harsh criticism and condemnation of my spiritual practices...sending me countless PMs telling me basically how to live my life according to what he believes I should be doing and thinks he is the wellspring of all Tantric knowledge.

For a while, I tried the 'nice and polite' response and listened openly, but of course, I follow the Left-Hand Path of Tantra which he then went on to say "Is not 'real Tantra" and that I know nothing about it because he knows everything about it...and then started accusing me of being 'proud' and having an 'ego' if I merely disagreed with anything he said...and of course, I felt very uncomfortable and told him to go away.


Would an 'enlightened person' do something like that?

Nope not at all.

It’s basic courtesy to post a link if you are saying the Buddha is throwing fits.

Not to say, hey I am saying he got caught up in emotions and it’s your job to provide the proof.

Just poor form to be honest.
