Hi Aloka-D , may I ask what about this article you think adds to the context and discussion? Thanks, A

Hiya Andy,

It is relevant to early Mahayana and the development of a mistaken attitude towards Theravada Buddhism which still exists today with some.

It is an inaccurate term when used to describe Theravada and therefore as website manager I felt that its definately worthwhile me popping a brief note into this 'Mahayana and Theravada' thread for the benefit of newcomers to Buddhism who may get the wrong impression about it.

OK, Back to the main topic again, thanks....
