user7751: In several answers I can see people interpreting Buddha and giving references about masters other than Buddha. Is this forum about Buddha or Buddhism? Buddhism like Hinduism, Christianity and other religions is corrupted. For ex Buddha never prayed but lots of buddhist pray. 

user-1: If I read you correctly, you are referring to drum sutta where Buddha explicitly said not to listen to teachings composed by other masters or teachers.  That is true however it is not easy to change other people's mind once they determine that teachings from other masters are worth learning.  There is Buddhist movement started about 10-15 years ago.  They exclusively study Buddhawajana (words from Buddha).  For myself, I'm inclined towards Buddhawajana movement.  I find that original Buddha's teaching are sophisticated but easy to understand. 

user254: This site welcomes questions and answers about Buddhism: including all forms/schools of Buddhism.
On this site, it would also be also on-topic to ask about Buddhist history, culture, art, and so on -- but most questions are about theory and/or practice.
You can use various tags to limit the scope of your own questions. For example, some people regard Theravada as the school mostly closely based on the original (earliest) form of Buddhism, and if you add the theravada tag to your question, that means you want to limit replies to answers that come from a Theravada perspective.
There's also a the-buddha tag, which is for, "questions about the Buddha (Siddartha Gautama) as a person - his life, sayings, actions, etc.".
On the other hand in this answer you refer to obtaining a best answer by "asking a living Buddha".

I want to meet people who have benefitted from Buddha and can share experiences rather than just suttas or theology.
I encourage users to consider these guidelines:

The folks ... owned up to the subjective issue and came up with a set of principles to create useful subjective discussions ...: the Back It Up! Principle. Back It Up! means that your answers must be based on either:

Something that happened to you personally
Something you can back up with a reference


So, answers shouldn't be based on a complete guess or lack of knowledge -- but this site does allow both, answers based on personal experience, and answers which give references (e.g. to suttas).
