By Theravada I mean the ones who affirm commentaries, abhidhamma, Visuddhimagga. They are on the side of nothing after parinibbāna.
If you mean to refer to some thai forest tradition, then it’s not considered orthodox Theravada as it’s well known that they don’t place emphasis on Abhidhamma.
I am afraid this is a long one, you can read the post on Bhikkhu Bodhi on Nibbāna
To get started.
I haven’t got to the point of combining all the arguments yet, and once I do, it will still be very long. And it will invite more challenges, so not very inclined for now.
I think I already linked you to my reddit post, are you not convinced by that?
No idea what you’re writing here.
