The Tricycle article attempts to put inauthentic mahayana stories on an equal footing with the Buddha's liberative teachings in the Nikayas on the dubious basis that the Gandhari scrolls are the oldest surviving written documents. They are playing an archeological shell game.

The "Buddhadhamma" is the Buddha's Noble, liberative teachings, as can be found in the Nikayas.
