Re: Questions about "Early" as in early early.
T. Rhys Davids made a pretty good list back in the 19th century: https://www.dhammawiki.com/index.php?title=1-10_early_to_recent_Chronology_of_Pali_Canon Most of these have parallels in the Chinese Agamas, which are Mahayana. The Pali Canon was an Oral Tradition for several centuries before being wr...

Re: Can you just be a Buddhist without having to be loyal to just one branch?
Since there were Buddhists long before there were different traditions and lineages, the answer is certainly yes. :thumbsup: My first contact with Buddhism was with Theravada, but then mostly practiced at Zen and Vajrayana centers. My marriage was at a Vajrayana/Shambhala temple. Then I went back t...

Re: Yes or No ...
I thought Grand Inspector General was the highest rank? My dad comes from a mason family. We had an oil painting hung up in my dad's room that he got from his dad: You're probably right, I know very little about the Masons. My father was a mason too. He asked me if I wanted to join around the time ...

Re: The material reality of Sumeru
Myth, but not essential to the truth or falsity of Buddhism. It's not an essential teaching in the way that it could be argued the resurrection of the flesh of Jesus is essential to Christianity.

Re: Philosophical differences between Soto and Rinzai?
I'm no expert at Zen, but I believe the differences are mostly about the practice differences. The Rinzai uses koan practice and study. And they believe in instant enlightenment and kensho experiences, rather than gradual. The Soto focuses more on sitting practice, Shikantaza, sitting in conscious a...
