Vance: “Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies.”
A borderless world where societies have no limits turn out to be ones in which boundaries are not only blurred but eradicated: between the reasonable and unreasonable, justice and injustice, spirituality and an ideology of violence and mayhem.
Param Ekādaśī

…The many long suttas, lists, and miracles, in the Pāli Canon, were probably composed, based on the early poetry and oral tradition, by a group of prose authors, sooner or later after Buddha's final passing, who were institutionalising Buddhism to compete with Hinduism, Jainism, Ājīvika, etc.

The oldest Buddhist texts are probably the poetry written in archaic Ṛgvedic triṣṭubh & jagatī metres: most of the Sutta Nipāta, some of the Dhammapada (49, 100-115, 129-148, 151, 155-156, 179-180, 183-185, 197-200, 336-337, 360-361, & 400-423), some Theragāthā/Therīgāthā & Udāna, & the Itivuttaka.

Lay Buddhism is closer to Hinduism, in that Hinduism believes pūjā/sīla (rituals and virtues) alone can lead to Nibbāna (eg, that devas can grant liberation). Many lay Buddhists still hold that view, and some think the point of being a monk/nun is just to make lots of merit.

Recent concerns surrounding misconduct within sections of the Buddhist monastic community have prompted reflection rather than condemnation. Incidents such as the arrest of certain monks involved in drug smuggling are deeply troubling, and even some senior Buddhist priests have publicly acknowledged the moral and spiritual decline visible within parts of the Sangha. ..
