Question
do you think it matters if the old tradition of buddhists had changed?

Answer
Hello Jonathan,
Particularly Advayavada Buddhism believes that Buddhism should be allowed to progress freely as everything else. Traditionalism, conservatism, orthodoxy, fundamentalism, nationalism, sectarianism, etc. are anathema to progress.
Kind regards,
Advayavadananda.
