Yes I've heard all of that offline in the past, thanks Londonerabroad.

Theravada does indeed focus on the core teachings of the historical Buddha... and for me, later add-ons and fairy tales about other buddhas, bodhisattvas and deities giving teachings from other realms or whatever, are completely irrelevant to me at this point in my practice and understanding.

Or as the Zen master Sazuki Roshi said - "When I meditate my spouse also meditates" Can't quite see how that relates to anything being discussed , to be honest!

Please give URL links to you quotes, by the way, thanks.
