RE: The Early Schools of Indian Buddhism
Most schools got their names from the regions they settled in, this series has helped me understand how religions grow and eventually fall like an old tree. Buddha said or maybe it was a follower of his, the Dhamma he discovered (his teachings) would only last 500 years past his death; he missed the mark by a few thousand years lololol
That's very interesting red people have to understand the history behind all people practise, for example i like to read about how was the begin of yoga. Regards
Yoga was developed to help the yogi deal with energy released during long retreats. It is intimately tied to the practices that are for enlightenment. Separating the meditation methods from their spiritual ties saddens me. Yoga and mindfulness meditation is marketed as a product, fast food religious practices...pffft...hahaha
