...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
