It's not about the texts..
Or teachers for that matter.
It's about what Buddhists seem to have found as truth. Verified by the texts in line with what are believed to be the Buddha's teachings.


Your findings seem to differ, so you can either say that the Buddha must have taught what you found, Or ??? Maybe there's more to be discovered.


I suspect it's the latter option. Now your findings as I said may well be on point for you, valuable to your place in life at this time.
To call it Buddhism however.. Why not abandon that. It seems you're abandoning texts, teachings and teachers anyway.. SO why not the nomer Buddhism. I have some ideas about that, but I guess you wouldn't want to hear them.



I'm just glad that I am not the only one who sees this since Blossomingtree left.
