Why is Nanavira considered controversial?
I've overheard conversations about Nanavira Thera, and people seem to be in three groups:
1) He's a heretic.
2) He's a genius sotapanna.
3) Nyana-who?
But I've never heard why group 1 consider him to be a heretic. I know he claimed to be a stream-enterer in a letter after he committed suicide... Super controversial, but there has to be more to it than that?
