Dharma Records venerable bante why there is no more arahant..

[@DharmaRecords]

It is only your presumption that there are no more Arahats. I would not think it is so.

[@ivanwong3273]

Dharma Records if there is why the enlighten one came out and regroup the schism into one sangha. Too many schools and interpretation cause confusion. By skillful means.

[@DharmaRecords]

Even during the Buddha's time schism happened. But as you say people can get very confused by the different teachings that are available. The Kalama sutta shows how to distinguish true from false: www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an03/an03.065.than.html
