Re: Theravada in Vietnam

Theravada exists in South VN from monks going to Thailand and Shrilanka. Most of VN is Mahayana from under the influence of China.

... If Buddha was capable of mentioning very complex things like, 'Abidhamma', then why not just mention the starting and end point of the world, kamma, mind and buddha philosophies, and let the listener decide what to learn and what not to learn? Eventhough someone might say these things are irrel...

Re: 2600-year old buddhist monastery unearthed in afghanistan

A little googling shows that the first news about this was around Nov-2010. It's hard to believe there was no confirmation nor deny on the age of those artifacts from archeologists.
