Differences Between Early Buddhism and Theravada: an Essay By Bhante Sujato

Описание к видео Differences Between Early Buddhism and Theravada: an Essay By Bhante Sujato

There seem to have been differences between Theravāda belief and practice and that found in early Buddhism, however figuring this all out is a matter of some debate and controversy. Translator and scholar Bhikkhu Sujato has written an essay enumerating some key differences he sees. I'll go through six of the more interesting ones.
