"Buddha said, in the Prajnaparamita Sutra, that the bodhisattvas should never abandon the dharma. By this he meant that if a bodhisattva were to think, 'Oh, this person is only teaching the Shravakayana, that person is teaching only the Pratyekabuddhayana,' then even that can be considered as abandoning the dharma, which is one of the most hideous nonvirtuous actions. Thinking in this way means you have developed an attitude, considering Mahayana as the supreme and all the other vehicles as lesser. An ecumenical or nonsectarian attitude to the teachings of the Buddha is so much required—especially if you are practicing the Mahayana path."

SUPPORTING THE THERAVADIN TRADITION:
Khyentse Foundation takes an ecumenical stance in its patronage of Buddhism
Recognizing the importance of the Theravadin tradition as the foundation of Buddhist practice, and in true Rimé spirit, Khyentse Foundation supports efforts to ensure the survival, preservation, and revival of Theravadin Buddhism in countries such as Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Burma. Much needs to be done, and we hope that the Foundation’s limited support arouses interest and leads the way to action in the Buddhist community.
In this issue, we interview scholars and practitioners who have devoted their lives to action in this area. Read about the challenges facing the Theravadin tradition today.
We have exciting news about a new Khyentse Visitorship at Oxford University. Also meet Suyin Lee, our beneficiary coordinator, and read reports on Khenpo Jamyang Lobshal's visit to Washington D.C., and on Wangmo and Richard Dixey's work in Bodhgaya.
