Hi,
maybe someone can help me out:
I can remember having heard, that, not so long ago, there has been a meeting/convention, where representatives of many (all?) traditions have agreed, that the pali tipitaka is accepted the original teaching of the Buddha and is so to be use at least as the foundation for all traditions/schools ?
Does someone maybe has any details on that?
Best Regards,
Mirco

You're thinking of this.
- "And how is it, bhikkhus, that by protecting oneself one protects others? By the pursuit, development, and cultivation of the four establishments of mindfulness. It is in such a way that by protecting oneself one protects others.

Re: PC acceptet by all traditions & school as authentic teaching
Greetings Mirco,
It's a question that might be well asked over at Dharma Wheel - http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewforum.php?f=77" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - to hear what Mahayanists have to say about it (after all, this is the "Discovering Theravada" section, so of course Theravada includes the Pali Canon).
I doubt you would find many Mahayanists accepting the Abhidhamma PItaka (the third basket of the Pali Canon) as "the original teaching of the Buddha and is so to be use at least as the foundation for all traditions/schools", but don't take my word it... best ask them.
Metta,

That's certainly true. Different schools have different canons and none of the lists on the Wikipedia page that Dave linked to give precedence to any particular canon.retrofuturist wrote: I doubt you would find many Mahayanists accepting the Abhidhamma PItaka (the third basket of the Pali Canon) as "the original teaching of the Buddha and is so to be use at least as the foundation for all traditions/schools", but don't take my word it... best ask them.

Thanks for the answers so far.
Re: PC acceptet by all traditions & school as authentic teaching
Yeah, I was thinking of that. No Canon agreement in there. I see.daverupa wrote:You're thinking of this.

Dzogchen would see many of those points as provisional, rather than as axiomatic.mirco wrote:Hi,

Greetings,
As this topic has gone as far as it can go in a "Discovering Theravada" capacity, it's going to be moved out.

Re: PC accepted by all traditions & school as authentic teaching
Generally yes. But - from my expansive discussions on Dhamma/Dharma with mahayanists, I noticed that when you give them some direct sutta quotation from Pali Canon - they just don't listen, don't take it as a proof, as an argument, and continue to think that only mahayana statements are correct. That is to say - they will agree with suttas only when they fit in their mahayanist views. If there is a controversy - they just don't listen.I can remember having heard, that, not so long ago, there has been a meeting/convention, where representatives of many (all?) traditions have agreed, that the pali tipitaka is accepted the original teaching of the Buddha and is so to be use at least as the foundation for all traditions/schools ?
