The Buddha never taught that one should suspend one's own enlightenment to help others (Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism). The Buddha never taught that enlightenment can happen by chanting. (Nichiren Buddhism) The Buddha never taught that another Buddha can rescue beings and send them to a heavenly place (Pure Land Buddhism). This is why Theravada Buddhism is the closest to the Buddha's original teachings.

Why do people get so threatened by Mahayana Buddhism? So what if you do not believe Buddha didn’t teach about Bodhissatva’s and the like? Mahayana isn’t going anywhere, no matter how much you deny it, so just accept it.

I have to say thanks to Zettai Baka for his quotation "The Buddha never taught that one should suspend one's own enlightenment to help others (Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism). The Buddha never taught that enlightenment can happen by chanting. (Nichiren Buddhism) The Buddha never taught that another Buddha can rescue beings and send them to a heavenly place (Pure Land Buddhism). This is why Theravada Buddhism is the closest to the Buddha's original teachings." After Lord Buddha went to Nirvana, there are many Buddhist sect established and most of new sect are different especially change from the original teaching of Lord Buddha which Phra Ananda Maha Thera told to the first Sangkhayana. So how can we set up the mind to full respect and believe the other sect besides Theravada.

Yes, the stilled mind through meditation is beyond happiness, therefore, beyond sadness; into the middle path which is beyond duality, becoming or unbecoming. The body guided by the mind has harmony as one with nature and its awareness. Bhavantu te.

I agree- I think everyone has their own specific mental obstacles, depending on their conditioning.

I think that is not the only way to true happiness, it depends on each person to choose his own way. Remember that each one is different.

Theravada Buddhism is not the original school as during the time of the Buddha there were no sectarian groups who claim to be the true school. Sorry but i had traveled a long time around India studying Dhamma. And then the question how do you know the Theravada school is the original school? had you spoken to the Buddha personally? had you seen the Buddha said Theravada is the only way? The video is good yes and very good to teach but Dhamma is not only from the Buddha. The Buddha studied Dhamma and studied himself and observing the world even the books say certain things but the books will not teach you what the Buddha taught us. The only way to understand Dhamma is to understand yourself but also to fully understand Dhamma but then we speak about Hindu Dhamma, Jain Dhamma and Sikh Dhamma and Gotama Dhamma to study these only then one can fully understand the Buddha his teachings. I am a Buddhist monk myself and studied in Thailand at the university about the Buddha but it did not teach me the Buddha his teachings, I went to Sri Lanka and Myanmar and studied about the Buddha at the university and i finally realized i could never understand the Buddha his teachings at the university nor from the books i had to travel around India and live the life of a homeless monk and not to live in an monastery. I had traveled to many places as a homeless monk and found Dhamma in India after having many different teachers as Jain monks, Sadhus, Brahmins and finally found out the Buddha he never taught us Buddhism he was teaching the people Dhamma not Buddhism in fact there is no Buddhism nor there is a Buddhist. We follow the Dhamma not Buddhism.

As Phabongkha Rinpoche said in his book "Liberation in the palm of your hand" : "Disparaging the Theravada for the sake of the Mahayana is incorrect, disparaging the Mahayana for the sake of the Vajrayana is also incorrect." He was quite unkind about Hinduism and Bön.

+Don Carlo Yes the contradiction of this was pointed out to me elsewhere. If we did that, then there would be NO enlightened people! I like Theravada vs. Mahayana. I hear too many "easy saves" in Mahayana, i.e. say this when you did or chant Amito's name and you will go to the Pure Land. Reminds me of old time Catholicism - do this and you are guaranteed heaven. As a monk pointed out, there are no shortcuts to enlightenment.

..3/- after court Marshal by British Govt. Second one appeared as Gajanan Mahara and the third one as Swamy Samarth Maharaj at different places in Maharashtra.They became mad as they lost their kingdom to British Govt. They made some miracles before illiterate villagers and thus got name and fame and succeeded to hide themselves from British arrest. They are not gods at all they are all common human being but clever enough to cheat gullible Indian community.

Islam is the true religion. The reason why there are many religions today is because overtime people have corrupt the true message which the prophets in the past conveyed. Every prophet in the past had the same message which is to worship one God alone without associating partners with him. Worshipping the prophets or statues of saints is prohibited and was never taught by any prophets. I invite you guys to read the Quran which is the last revelation from God to mankind, it was revealed over 1400 years ago to the last Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as a criterion over all religion and till this day not a single word of the scripture has been changed and this is a historical fact. May God bless you guys to the straight path :)
