Oh, very good. Mahayana of course. Now tell me who said that ‘denigrating women’ is one of the eleven great downfalls?

I agree. So when the Diamond Sutra (or the Vajrajedika Prajnaparamita Sutra in Sanskrit) praises the state of cinta prajna or self-reflective understanding, do you consider this to be an importation of Hinduism into the text?

Or is this authentically Buddhist?
