find practitioners of every kind of
Buddhism in just about every country. As for Theravada, to be clear, I didn't say that Theravada is synonymous with Shravakayana historically, although I suppose I did say, not in so many words, that they are synonymous vis a vis modern adherents. I can't agree that all Buddhist schisms are based on vinaya rather than dharma -- one need only look at the (rather questionable) sections of certain Mahayana sutras where the Buddha is portrayed denouncing Hinayana doctrine by name. Therefore, I think its fair to include the Gelugpas out of Shravaka/Hinayana.

Good work on the
Buddhism article. I largely agree with your changes - you might want to include Tibet, the USA and Europe as places where the Mahayana is practiced though. Also I'm not sure that referring to the Theravada as synonymous with the Shravakayana (what is mostly still called Hinayana) is

Thanks -- I'm not done with
Buddhism. There's a lot of little things to fix, and some of the prose is frankly awful. As for your specific points, I will consider the issue of where Mahayana is practiced -- I'm not sure if mentioning the West here would confuse more than inform. Nowadays, one can

Arahants, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and actually to anyone from Stream Entrants up - ie those who have "seen things as they really

I must say this article has some apparent crackpots orbiting it. I was amused by being told to "wake up and smell the coffee". Anyway, if it's a real term, I guess we can have a neutral article about it, which means dumping a good deal of what's there. That may be hard though, with serious

That's cool, I was just wanting to generate discussion. It seems people have complained but haven't done much about it. I've been spending too much time on the talk pages of articles that are already substancial, and, in the process, not contributing as much as I could...

accurate. For instance all
Gelugpa's still practice the Sarvastavada vinaya. Since a schism in Buddhism is defined purely as a difference of opinion about matters of praxis (ie vinaya) the Gelupga's are technically a Hinayana school (to use that horrible term).

yeah, basically i read some page that said it wasnt, then i happened to go there last week and find out that all current literature at the site itself says that it is. im sure there's a case to be made otherwise, so i left an
