Open call for Moderator suggestions
We're looking to back-fill 2, preferably 3 moderator positions.
Would appreciate any serious suggestions or volunteers.
It would be nice to have at least one candidate with a background in Vajrayana.

Re: Most famous teacher of all time?
In addition to those already mentioned:
TNH has to be in the current list.
Historical figures, other mentions probably include Zhiyi, Xuanzang, Milarepa, ShanTao, Saicho, Kumarajiva, Tsongkapa, Kukai, Nagarjuna, Vasubandhu, Buddhagosa, Nagasena, Asanga, etc.

If im not mistaken. They are different. And that pure land is a lower type for arahants. According to TienTai, there are 4 levels of the Pure Land: - The Land of Mixed Residence (sages & common beings) - The Land of Expedient Means - The Land of True Reward - Pure Land of Tranquil Light All 4 a...

Re: Amida's death?
There's another article that backs that up (might be related to the Amitayus being a mistranslation of the Gandharan that you mentioned elsewhere): https://www.jstor.org/stable/24049429?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents In the article they say it's T362. Could've also possibly been T361. I don't doubt th...

OK, I understand this, but does that mean that not all of Amidas vows are fulfilled?? The 13th specifically says his lifespan will be never ending... I would say "no, they were fulfilled" because a Buddha no longer identifies with the 5 aggregates subject to perishing (ie Nirmanakaya form...

Re: Amida's death?
While the Dharma dispensation of Amida is still active in the world, it is safe to assume that the vows would still be in effect: "The number of sentient beings that will be delivered will equal that during His life. After Amitābha’s parinirvāṇa, some sentient beings there will not be able to s...
