The Buddha himself on his death bed insisted that no one person was to lead his followers and that they were to just carry on without organising anything. Funny how man has an inability to remain free and feels the need to complicate things.
The various religious trappings of Buddhism today, particularly in Mahayana Buddhism, were all added by the opposing Brahmin class after the Buddha's death. They wanted to bring Buddhism back into line with the teachings of one god (Brahma).

And YES....there are a great many Aussies on this site....and a few poms as well.
