"[Adjective] Buddhism"

For a group of people who are supposed to have this non-duality thing down, we Buddhists can sometimes be pretty bad at it. We're quick with to come out with Mahayana, Hinayana, Vajrayana, Zen, Tendai, Theravada, Green, Blue, ad infinitum. And all of us do the same thing in the rest of our lives too--Red State, Blue State, Labour, Tory, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, ad infinitum. The adjectives drive us apart where there is no defined, permanent, solid line to be drawn! The Way needs no adjectives, it barely needs a noun.
