"All formations are inconstant," he said.
"All formations are stressful," he said.
"All phenomena are selfless," he said.
When one sees this, one becomes adverse to stress, and this is the path of purity.

Re: The Mahayana Is Not Diluted Theravada.
I have encountered Theravadans in books and other forums who are very hostile towards Mahayana,even calling the latter "Marayana",vehicle of the Devil.They say Mahayanists do not respect the historical Buddha.
To me,its like classical Newtonian physicists vilifying quantum mechanics.

We need to respect all of Buddha’s teachings and those who practise them. The problem is there is infighting between traditions and disagreement about what Buddha taught.
