Greetings. I am a Therevada practitioner who I thought understood more of the teachings than I actually did. Back to basics-- sila, samadhi, prajna.

Hi, Dhammafarer.

Also a Theravadan here.  If you cannot find what you are looking for here, suggest you try http://dhammawheel.com/  .

Our group at FreeSangha is ecumenical from a Buddhist perspective.  The advantage is access to a wider perspective.  The disadvantage is  teachings and perspectives vary based upon individual traditions, cultures, resulting in subsequent diversion, deviation, and distortion over time as Buddhism moved from one geographical location to the next.

To assist you with your awareness of these influences, here is a wiki regarding Buddhism's migration from region to region and from time to time:
