What I think is of no consequence for you — it depends on what you think, say, and do that will decide whether or not you wind up in hell.
My duty is just to teach what the Buddha taught, as far as I understand it, according to reliable sources
And I think bhante's point clearly addressed danielLion's inquiry:
The Buddha and the Dhamma are not the problem. We are the problem. And so the purpose of the Abhidhamma, Vm,..and Dhammawheel forum are not there to expose the problem of the Dhamma. They are there as medium for practitioners to share their knowledge and experience to other practitioners. Sure, there're arguments and debates but I hope they're not there just for the sake of argument but to address any error or mistake we still need to improve upon..danielLion wrote:If other Buddhists believed this we'd have no Abhidhamma, commentarial tradition, Visuddhimagga, etc.... We certainly wouldn't have Dhammawheel. We'd have doctrinal solidarity.
