I agree with the first statement. "True" Buddhism doesn't really exist in this day and age. And I'm sick of these unfeasible purity tests.SarathW wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 11:02 pmIn my opinion, It is not possible to find a place of curruptions-free Sangha anywhere in the world.Hence I think it is better for me to avoid those famous wealthy grand monasteries in order to stay away from the corruption of the Sangha.
The way I understand Dhammaut Nikaya objectifies Nibbana and hence it is against the teaching of Tipitaka.
As for the Nirvana thing. I don't think thats all of Dhammayuttika Nikaya actually, as it is merely an ordination lineage. For sure it includes Thai forest and some notable Dhammayut teachers outside of TFT as well, which probably already takes up like half of the 6% of temples in Thailand that are Dhammayuttika. So you are right. If you are a no selfer it's easier to find a Maha Nikaya place that carries your views on nibbana. But pretty much all Maha Nikaya temples other than ajahn chah lineage don't meet the Vinaya purity test of not touching money from what I've seen.
