23 - How Buddhists Should Behave: Evolution of the Buddhist Precepts Part 2 - a podcast by Domyo Burk

Then we move on to China, and I talk about how the Chinese dealt with the question of how to establish an authentic Buddhist lineage while adapting the Vinaya to China, and avoiding the trap of "hinayana" practice that Mahayana sutras warned about (was the Vinaya "hinayana" practice?).
