No idea what Bhante Vimalaramsi is. I used the term as a synonym for sravakayana; I think I probably used it incorrectly, it should probably include a lot of mahayana practice (because mahayana sutras). Maybe it just means "practices that don't depend on revealed teachings". At any rate, "not tantrayana".

Ah, Bhante Vimalaramsi is an american monk originally from the theravada tradition who IIRC uses Sutrayana for his take on what the Pali canon says, as he deviates from the theravada interpretation of the text.

  "Sutrayana" meaning "not Vajrayana" is typical for Tibetan Buddhism.

    after a good nights sleep, I think I mixed up pali / sanskrit and the monk I am referring to surely considers himself "Suttayana" :-) I never really looked into Tibetan buddhism tbh.
