Hi Abhaya,

We try to keep things simple and focused on the historical Buddha's core teachings in the Beginners forum, so that people who are completely new to Buddhism don't get overwhelmed by different tradition-specific responses from other members. Not keeping to the basics has resulted in feelings of confusion and being overwhelmed with too much information too soon from some of our new members in the past.

(please read admin and moderator guidelines at the beginning of the topic list for the Beginners forum)

Many thanks and with kind wishes,

Aloka

The Atthakavagga belongs to the core teachings of the historical Buddha. I would recommend for gerrardthor to start there before moving to complex material such as the work of Nagarjuna.
