Mahavihara

Post by Nicholas Weeks »

The heading Classical Theravada was modified by inserting "Mahavihara". What is the difference between Classical Theravada and Classical Mahavihara Theravada?
Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.

Hi Will,

There is no difference in meaning, but the wording of the latter makes the referent clearer.

Best wishes,
