| Nov 21, 2015 at 17:34 | comment | added | Andriy Volkov♦ | @Theravada sometimes I disagree with some people here - but I stay inside my answers and don't go to others to criticize. I feel that is better as it does not create conflict. That is how Sankha and Suminda do it as well, and I respect that. This is a democratic site, and if readers see the truth in your answer, they will vote it up - what's the need to argue with other answers? I deleted your comment on Thiago's answer. Please don't do it again - if everyone starts doing this to each other, this site will turn into war. | |
| Nov 21, 2015 at 17:21 | comment | added | Theravada | I agree. No offence to our good friend but if you see the answer by Thiago Silva (as of now right above this one) you will see what i mean. | |

| Nov 18, 2015 at 21:39 | comment | added | Andriy Volkov♦ | I don't know where you heard this "modern Buddhism" term. I never heard it. As far as I know, all schools maintain the importance of the original teaching, just not in the original words. | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 19:47 | comment | added | Theravada | I agree with Alex468 , what i said was that it is wrong to alienate original teachings amidst the modern views. New ways of looking at dhamma is admired but it should be guarded safely to maintain the importance of the originals.@AndreiVolkov | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 17:55 | comment | added | Andriy Volkov♦ | The OP started his inquiry with questioning answers "referring teachings of modern teacher" - and then extrapolated from there. Suttas document application of Dharma principles to the ancient situations - and modern teachers apply the same principles to modern situations. | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 3:24 | comment | added | Alex468 | Well the OP didn't say that there was anything wrong with 'modern teachers'. His concern was that the term 'Modern Buddhism' is a pointless idea when the original teachings are the suttas. Simply, there is nothing modern about suttas and the meaning behind them. | |
