Its an answer to the question, "Why are we here, cant we end this?"Theravada has the most of what Buddha said, I think the tipitaka written in alu vihare, sri lanka is the most pure. Buddhism mainly spread thru lectures face to face. And some people had to be taught in ways that are very dependent on the learner. Actually the teacher adjusted what he teaches according to the student. That can only be done by someone who has attained some stage like "sowan",'sakrudagami"..etcNow if you are going to learn real buddhism you;ll have to think for yourself about facts that they deliver. Buddhism is based on understanding and reasoning so no statement can make another statement in buddhism false. This can be applied to most cases, there are monks who have attained higher states but those states are not very significant compared to monks of buddhism 2000 years ago. But for us laymens their knowledge is enough. The "meat" problem is a confusion that was aroused by some monks, they stress that they under go a vegetarian diet because they are "buddhist"thats where they went wrong, buddha said, eat what you get if it's eatable and do not ASK</blockquote>
