So, is there a primer? [View all]
Grantcart piqued my interest in a hilarious post talking about the differences in belief about meditation and schools of thought that he called the 'Buddhist War'. This is way out of context, but I kept is as I found it both amusing and informational. I can dig up the link for the context as it was not a slam, but a positive commentary on Big Tent mindsets.
As everyone knows Buddhists are unreleting contentious doctrinaire nitpickers of theological exactness and it will not be long before they will devolve into an unending Buddhist war between the Theravada ("The School of the Elders" ) and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle" ) Buddhists, and on cue the Zen Buddhists will get pissy and pout.
So, does anyone have a primer about these distinguished paths?
