[Buddha-l] Jhanas in Mahayana & Tibetan

...still, there`s something that I was thinking, while I saw the
self-ordained-one´s GWV: isn`t there some precedent for creating a flavor of
buddhism out of the blue? Pak Chungbin´s Wonbulgyo comes to mind, as does
the thousands of flavors of ch`an (or even called Zen) from Taiwan.

Isn`t taking one part from buddhism that someone likes and creating a school
something normal in east asian buddhism?

Best regards
