In the Buddha's teachings, nothing is anywhere near as complicated as you describe. He described those superstitions and speculative views that preceded him.... He didn't encumber his teachings with epistemology or ontology or metaphysical speculations.

A thicket of views and all that, right? IDP = iddhipada? What's PS? He did have an epistemology and ontology of his own, though, right? That is, his life wasn't totally void of theories of knowledge an being.
