Hinayana Called Mahayana as Crypto-Vedantin before Adi shankaracharya was born
Infact that's the purvapaksha of Acharya Bhavaviveka in Madhyamaka Hridaya
Acharya Bhavaviveka is major commentators on Acharya Nagarjuna often considered a Patriach of Swatantrika Buddhism
@TheMK90@pranjali_guptaa@vajrayudha11 Symbiosis, especially the exchange of best practices, is the goal. Protection is the result.
You may just read the text, why would a king from Indonesia make generous donations to the university of Nalanda?
@TheMK90@pranjali_guptaa@vajrayudha11 Well my whole point is to show that making these traditions sustainable and preventing them from exploitation is important.
If they are worthy, they also deserve to be brought to the mainstream culture.
@TheMK90@pranjali_guptaa@vajrayudha11 Today Odisha's local diety Jagannātha is so global, there is even a marvel character (Juggernaut), inspired from it. ISKCON has even scaled this diety globally via ratha-yātra. How? It was all due to this non-exploitive symbiosis.
@TheMK90@pranjali_guptaa@vajrayudha11 This is the definition I am referring to, the symbiosis of little (loka) and great (śāstrīya) traditions, without any forms of exploitation.
When one doesn't exploit, the identity isn't erased, but, instead enhanced.
This is the protection, I am referring.

@pranjali_guptaa@vajrayudha11 It is the same tad-ekam that one expressed through different language as gods/deus/deva etc, and also expressed as living beings.
