RE: The Early Schools of Indian Buddhism Series
I am amazed by the level of complexity shown by the different schools of Buddhism. In addition, the number of schools is by itself staggering. We tend to think of people of thousands of years ago as simple people, living for survival, without the complexities of our "modern lifestyle". The interest in philosophy in those days seems to be even greater than what it is now.
@marcusantoniu26, the more I study history the more I see humans have struggled for a long time with power. That's why I think the lessons we learn from old stories and ancient religions are just as important as they were for people in the past. We may have advanced in science and technology but we haven't changed our behaviors that much.
