Yeah. The Lotus Sutra spends a long time on that concept. Then, it says everyone who thinks they are an arhat is really a bodhisattva, and there isn’t actually a Nirvana. That was the Buddha using skillful means.
It just depends on which Mahayanist we’re talking about. Asanga and Nagarjuna were probably fans of the EBTs. Kumarajiva says that a bodhisattva practices all the Buddha’s teachings, including the EBTs. Basic Mahayana sutras (like the Diamond Sutra) say that a bodhisattva doesn’t actually liberate all sentient beings because it’s impossible to liberate an infinite number of beings. And, anyway, if someone really thinks they are a bodhisattva, then they aren’t. My take is that a lot of the trouble in modern Buddhism was the early popularity of certain sutras in East Asia that advocated throwing the EBTs out and starting over. They were probably marginal texts outside of China, but then took off in a foreign culture that didn’t understand their context. So, there’s this unthinking prejudice in place. And then we get the oversimplifying reactions from the other side that don’t really help.
The result is a playground for trolls to gather great heaps of lolz. Posts like this are designed to flush out reasonable people for a good flame session or two, I would say.
