This is inconsistent with the message that exists underneath the tangled jungle of religious obfuscation and abstractification that "Buddhism" has cultivated on top of the Dharma.

Your reasoning here contradicts your guru worship of the lama.

The efficacy of the suttas have carried the teachings for hundreds of years.

If they were void of efficacy, they would not be here.

Yet you claim a certain lama to be more enlightened than the suttas.

One, contadiction has been shown by falling into religious faith with this guru. The guru is teaching a doctrine of non-belief, which you believe, which makes it a belief. The Buddha taught correctly that all practise has faith as its first power.

Two, ignorance has been shown regarding the law of cause & effect. At a certain time in the world, arises the Teacher. The Teacher finds & teaches the Way, hidden by humanity's ignorance. Yet this is denied. This is ignorance. This is ignorant "detachment" or denial.
