in reply to Eastern Monks vs. Western Monks

My first thought is "what a great idea!" since I happen to be a Buddhist (with some modifications in the order and names of the levels, most notably the one mentioned by scottstef). But then I thought about it ... that way madness leads. After all, there are more philosophies out there than just Christianity and Buddhism. How will we accommodate the Hindus, Jews, followers of Islam, secular humanists, pagans, et al.? Still, elbie++ in my book.

BTW, for your amusement, another level list suggestion for Buddhists:
  1. Seeker
  2. Meditator
  3. Apprentice
  4. One-Gone-Forth
  5. Bikkhu (Buddhist monk)
  6. Abbot
  7. Stream Enterer
  8. Pratyekabuddha
  9. Bodhisattva
  10. Buddha
