Greetings Lazy Eye,

There's no real basis for accusations of dishonesty.

On that matter we'll have to differ.

One can follow and promote a bodhisattva path respectfully, without replacing the Buddha's words with one's own, and without slandering Buddhavacana by regarding it as "hina" (low, dispicable, inferior, vulgar, garbage). For examples as to how this could be done, see:

A Treatise on the Paramis: From the Commentary to the Cariyapitaka by Acariya Dhammapala

Uttama Purisa Dīpanī (A Manual of the Excellent Man) - Venerable Ledi Sayādaw
http://www.aimwell.org/Books/Ledi/Uttama/uttama.html

Metta,
Retro.
