Harmonization of the Theravada Faith

The Pali Cannons of Theravada Buddhism are in many ways a familiar way to organize tradition and learning to our Confucian elites. Over time these collections of laws and rites have come to be studied and made part of the corpus that every educated and influential member of our society must study and adhere to. The traditions have been harmonized and the wider Theravada Buddhist community consider us their equal just as we consider the Theravada Buddhists within our borders as an integral part of our our nation.
