A. Nicely no, as a result of one is the night star, and one is the morning star. Buddhism says that we shouldn’t be deluded by phrases, names as a result of they’re not more than imaginary labels used to categorise issues, not the essence of the issues. In the identical approach, the night star and the morning star are merely names. Extra strictly talking, even when scientists, after finding out and analysing the star, describe it with a number of chemical and astronomical phrases, all of the phrases used to id the star are nothing however imaginary labels created by human beings.
The star has by no means itself mentioned that it’s a star, or that it consists of any such chemical parts. The star, whether or not the morning star or the night star, is a star not as a result of it’s a star in essence, however as a result of we human beings consider it as a star and name it as such. For this reason the Buddha mentioned, “Though I’ve attained enlightenment as a result of star, it’s not a star any longer after enlightenment.”
