[Y-Indology] On Mr. Malaiya's comments

[Guest guest]

Lance,

 

Thank you for pointing out my oversight. Therefore taking into proper

consideration the "extant fragmentary portions of non-Theravaadin

canonical works written on birch bark manuscripts dating from the

first century A.D. or earlier," the supposed words of an assumed

founder did not exist in any written form until as late as "4 or 5

hundred years after their pronouncement."

 

So my question remains: *Pronounced by whom?*

 

Could you kindly state it clearly?

 

Best regards,

 

Troy Harris
