I had a Realisation

Spirit of Light

Spirit of Light

Be who ever you want
Today I have had a moment of realization of a question that came up in a discussion I am taking part it.
In 20 years I have seen myself as a Theravada Buddhist, but I have understood that putting oneself in a category is not in accordance with the Buddha Dhamma.
As a cultivator of Buddha's teachings, I no longer wish to use Theravada Buddhist when describing myself. What voices Better is the cultivator of Buddha Dhamma,
The right way for me is the cultivation of Dhamma (Dhamma can be translated as true teaching)

Attachment is highly detrimental to the attainment of truth, so one must be free of the baggage of Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc.
