Hi Tony, just as an aside - as you are a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, I wonder if you are aware that 'Hinayana' can be used as a pejorative term to describe Theravada, which is why we try to avoid its use here (except perhaps jokingly).

kind regards

Aloka

It is important to never forget Hinayana practice. It should be included in advanced practices.
