Thanks for the tip about thoughts Willy, I'll not worry to much about thinking. I hope I'm not speaking out of turn but Hinayana is generally considered a pejorative term, I thought Hinayana was a very ancient form of Buddhism now lost to us at least that was what I was told by a Dzogchen practitioner of my accquaintance whose scholarship I find amongst the best.

I think Aloka has posted this link before but I'll repost it.

The Myth of Hinayana.

Not that I thought you were dissing Theravada its just that Hinayana is term people find a little bit of a put down.

I can be a little insecure sometimes so I hope you don't think I'm having a go at you - your posts so far seem very intelligent and helpful.
