A clear explanation of what is suitable for one may not be suitable for another - and extending this to food, posture, climate, lodging and Dhamma talk as well as meditation techniques and traditions of practice.
Rather than trying to rid self of this subjectivity which individuals will inevitably experience we are encouraged to not engage in petty dogmatic differences, opinionated assertions and partisan loyalties.
" To react emotionally or behave judgmentally towards our Dhamma siblings who have found their mecca in the "opposite camp" may well cause an obstruction to their spiritual progress and well being ".
