Quote from Walpola Rahula, What the Buddha Taught: Revised and Expanded Edition with Texts from Suttas and Dhammapada

The question has often been asked; Is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy? It does not matter what you call it. Buddhism remains what it is whatever label you may put on it. The label is immaterial.

Sectarian labels are a hindrance to the independent understanding of Truth, and they produce harmful prejudices in men’s minds.
