Moved from another thread:
I am speaking of things i know nothing about. Please forgive my haughtiness.
I think if you understand the basics of buddhism you understand everything. Perhaps buddhism is nothing but profound basics. Of course the only was to fathom the basics is to study the details, and the only way to understand all details is to fathom the basics.... so where do we start?
Anyway, I have read some of the lotus sutra and i have a few questions i was hoping you could answer or direct me to an answer.
What is Arhats, Pratyekabuddhas and voice-hearers? From what I understand, these titles are associated with the way a being has achieved enlightenment.
Also, who is the Thus Come One?
And what is Ganges sands. It is always used to describe the vastness of a quantity.
And Immeasurable Means?
