[Buddha-l] Useful for Enlightenment?

[Richard Hayes]

Andrew Scott seeks forgiveness:


> Forgive me, but is any form of academic study of Buddhism of any use
> at all to people who want to become arahants?

Academic study neither helps nor hinders. Why do you ask?

>  I am asking not to provoke but to find out what you all think.

I think that academic study neither helps nor hinders.
