vana (forest; craving)

Yo nibbanatho vanādhimutto, vanamutto vanameva dhāvati;
Taṃ puggalametha passatha, mutto bandhanameva dhāvati.

Having left the forest of desire (i.e., the life of a householder), he takes to the forest of the practice (i.e., the life of a bhikkhu); but when he is free from the forest of desire he rushes back to that very forest.
Come, look at that man who having become free rushes back into that very bondage.
(Dhp 344)

Hey! Wait a minute, I see people writing Pali in the [English] word association game. This is a reminder that we have a Pali word association game here too! :tongue:

puggalavada (an early 'personalist' school of Buddhism)

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudgalavada" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The Pudgalavāda or "Personalist" school of Buddhism broke off from the orthodox Sthaviravāda (elders) school around 280 BCE. The Sthaviravādins interpreted the doctrine of anatta to mean that, since there is no true "self", all that we think of as a self (i.e., the subject of sentences, the being that transmigrates) is merely the aggregated skandhas. The Pudgalavādins asserted that, while there is no ātman, there is a pudgala or "person", which is neither the same as nor different from the skandhas. The "person" was their method of accounting for karma, rebirth, and nirvana. Other schools held that the "person" exists only as a label, a nominal reality.

The Pudgalavadins were strongly criticized by the Theravadins (a record of a Theravadin attack on the pudgala is found in the Kathavatthu), Sarvastivadins, and Madhyamakas. Peter Harvey agrees with criticisms levelled against the Pudgalavadins by Moggaliputta-Tissa and Vasubandhu, and finds that there is no support in the suttas for their "person"-concept.[1]

They were labeled heretical, and the sect eventually died out.
The Pudgalavādin view sounds similar to the views of some today and perhaps a few teachers too (but not very many).
