Interesting stuff. Not the final word, but Ven Sujato is always worth reading, even if one does not agree with him.Tantrayogi wrote:Hi All,

Maybe it protection against visiting United States governors.jcsuperstar wrote:it looks fabulous!!!!
But to make a point relevant to the subject I would highly recommend Rupert Gethin's THE FOUNDATIONS OF BUDDHISM. It is a recent work, easily and inexpensively gotten, with and up to date in terms of historical scholarship.

Re: Sects & Sectarianism. The origins of Buddhist Schools
I dont know if that book is accurate. On page 23 it states that there were Mahayana sutras around during the 2nd council and that Mahadeva was influenced by Vijnanavada thought which came around hundereds of years after he was dead
Unless im wrong?

understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”
