I am totally agree that Theravada Buddhist should only study the word of buddha shakyamuni. Because thats is our teachings. We can ask monks about some things we wonder about but in my view we should not have other teachers then buddha shakyamuni. I can only speak for my own understanding here. and other buddhist schools have other Buddhas they follow so that is the Buddhas they should then follow

Pali discourses are very important for me
