Imo, those who attempt to lock the Dharma into a narrow, static, and rigid interpretation of what they believe is the _true words_ of the Buddha are steering Buddhism very far away from the intent and purpose of the teachings commonly attributed to a historical Buddha.

So can you give explanations with sources to illustrate your point, to show exactly what you think the intent and purpose of the teachings of the historical Buddha actually were, please PT? I'd be really interested in reading more about your theories on this.
