A green Buddha sits inside the hollow of a tree, its face is alight from sunshine in the other side of the tree. It’s is adorned gold.

"The root of suffering is attachment."

#Buddhism is the direct examination of #suffering, #impermanence, #attachment, & #delusion. It is the stripping away of illusions, not dressing them up in silk. The #Buddha did not teach people to become cultural reenactors. He taught people to wake up. If a practice requires you to pretend to be another nationality, another century, or another civilisation to feel authentic, then it has already lost its way. (6/7)

A list of Mahāyāna ideas you [arguably] won't find in the early Buddhist texts: Buddha-nature (buddhadhātu, tathāgatagarbha, etc), ālāyavijñāna, Avalokiteśvara, Amitābha, Yaśodharā (see Bhaddakaccānā/Bhadrakātyāyani), Pure Lands, Kālacakra initiation, & the Trikāya.
