Re: Introductory books on basic or general Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna (Tibetan Buddhism)
I have been an eclectic Buddhist for some time now but need to know more. I know Theravāda very, very well, but need to know far more Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna than I do now. I plan to study and practice from all the schools of Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna (and continue to study and practice Theravāda) exce...

Introductory books on basic or general Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna (Tibetan Buddhism)
Hi, I am still fairly new to the Mahāyāna tradition as I have been busy with other things. I know some things, but I'd like to learn the basics or general Mahāyāna AND Vajrayāna (Tibetan Buddhism) from introductory books. I have Paul Williams' Mahāyāna Buddhism: The Doctrinal Foundations and have ju...

Greatest Mahayana and Vajrayana teachers alive
I am posting this thread in order to learn more about the greatest teachers in the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions and their teachings. Who are the most reputable?

How to develop Bodhicitta?
I want to generate Bodhicitta but I don't know how to do that since I come from a Theravada background (now following Mahayana and Vajrayana as well). Could you recommend any materials on Bodhicitta? Thank you.

Re: Eclectic Buddhism
It just seems an incredibly long and ambitious list, Stephan. Personally, I like to keep things simple, so that I can focus and do my best. I don't mean to practice ALL of that -- I don't have the time for that anyway. Just study and practice the most important things and choose a few of the perfec...

Eclectic Buddhism
I have realised that I must be an eclectic Buddhist: picking and choosing whatever I think is great and beneficial from any Buddhist tradition, including some things of my own such as my own divisions of Dhamma (based on original Buddhist teachings) and more perfections than the 10 or 6 perfections....
