From Original to Traditional | 2010
Ajahn Brahmali explores the distinction between “original” and “traditional” Buddhism, encouraging a thoughtful return to the Buddha’s earliest teachings to better understand the essence of the Dhamma.Original Buddhism refers to the direct experience and insights of the Buddha. These teachings are preserved in the early suttas (especially in the Pāli Canon).
Traditional Buddhism includes the rituals, cultural practices, commentaries, and institutions that developed over centuries. While much of it is valuable, it often adds layers that can obscure the original intent.The closer we align with the Buddha’s original vision, the more effective and meaningful our practice becomes.
