Mahatma Gandhi has some very interesting thoughts on Buddha and Buddhism... Avi entoo ikkada chepte oka batch kurrol oogipoyii, gwarantee gaa nannu kukka d'lu etti ban seyistaar..kikk  ....can't help, but type just this one quote from Gandhiji though... "It is difficult to say who was the greatest among Rama, Krishna, Buddha and Jesus...In point of character alone, Buddha was probably the greatest." Even to this day. every prayer in Sevagram Ashram begins with the rendition of "nam myo ho renge kyo"...I think it means "I bow to Buddha, the Guru of a true religion".

Buddha himself said that "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it". I feel they are great words of wisdom. chose your path based on your own analysis. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

well, God took lot more pains to create this world, and there is no saying what this crazy creator is up to.
precisely, Now what is true. There are schools of thought that Rama and Buddha were contemporaries. There are stories that Buddha was older than Rama. Whatever we prefer to take as the truth, the core essence as proposed by Buddha, is it actually Buddha's or is it from someone else. The birth of buddha has also many different stories. main stream buddhism does not believe in God, but it does believe in reincarnation and manifestations of soul. I completely agree on this, but my contention was to bring up that buddhism(as a school of thought) is not independent of various versions and deviations from what we actually think it is. you can blame it on hindu's or over zealous followers for the deviations, but to me it seems to one other form of religion that has conflicting ideas within itself. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

1. Hypothetically, yes..I think it is possible; although I don't see any reason why God would descend on earth and take great pains to deny his very own existence... 2. It does not matter what Buddhists say today...There are numerous Buddhist school of thoughts out there now, and each one has it's own deviations from what Buddha preached....Buddha himself never believed in the existence of a creator God..In fact, he preached that reliance in God can lead to inaction and eventually become a hindrance to attaining nirvana..There is no way that he could have claimed himself as an Avatar. | ||

It is not about what Budha did brother. I think we are getting confused. let me ask you in another way, Are we assuming that each avathara, has to proclaim the same thing about the existence of god or any other principle. In a hypothetical scenario, can an avathara be born as an athiest and formulate athiesm as his philisophy? the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

Buddhism as it exists today, is in a sad state of affairs; even though the number of followers is increasing. It has more or less fallen into the shackles of organized religion; the very evil that Buddhha has never believed in. Buddhha never claimed himslef as God or an Incarnation of God... It is impossible for Buddha to do so, because he did NOT believe in the existence of God!!!! | ||

That is true, that is the essence of buddha's teachings. that everyone is capable of lifting their souls to be peaceful and live with the natural pains and pleasures without having to giving into worldly pleasures. Every one can be a buddha ante, every can become the same buddha ani kaadhu kadha, every one can become like a buddha..
Again not denying it. He did not potray himself as a God, so is that a concrete proof that he is Not God? Rama also never potrayed himself as God, but people accepted him as God. P S : I am not trying to convince anyone that Buddha is a God, these are arguments just to make things clear for me. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

kalikalam bro, i will leave it to you what you feel about it, but there are detailed texts and lengthy discussions about this subject. Buddha believed in karma, and re-incarnation, so he must have believed that he had previous births and also births in the future. saying that i am not denying that Hindus might have made up the story, but I also wouldnt accept it just by the statement "A person like Buddha can never say it". The first thing that contradicts your theory is that the story of Rama in budhism, it is very different from valmiki ramayana, now if Hindu's were the reason for adding this dimension to Buddha, why did they create a new version it, which is quite controversial w r t valmiki ramayana? the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

yeah Buddha said anybody who attains Nirvana aka full liberation can become a Buddha, there are Buddhas before, afrter and contemporary his times..he never portrayed himself as a God..The beauty of Buddha's teachings is everything is so logical, based up on truth, action-result type. one story of Buddha time: One woman has a beautiful baby born, but died at very early age. She heard Buddha do some magic to give life to the kid. she goes to Budhha and cries, finally Budhha understood, she is not in a stage to hear what he teach. He asks her to bring some seaseme seed from a family in that city in which NOBODY died so far... she roams city and asks all people if any body died in their family...finally found there is no family where no death happen..understood death is inevitable... | ||

That also is a different topic. Whether advaitic soul or 'vedic' soul, if vedas believe in soul which is interchangeable with god, then how can sankhya is nasthik? I don't think there is any other concept of god than ritualistic and philosophical and Vedas believe in both. In either case, sankhya can't be nasthik school, its just a misconception. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeGK88_5T4 | ||

Evolution of hindu schools of thought is altogether a different topic. But our point of contention is that whether sankhya is nasthika or asthika based on its belief in god. Now the concept of soul does exist in non-vedanthic portions of vedas such as aranyakas. Then, how can sankhya be nasthik if it believes in vedas that believe in soul? or Are you saying (I suspect not) that it is nasthik because it doesn't believe in ritual gods that were mentioned in vedas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeGK88_5T4 | ||

Buddha taught 3 stages to become a fully arahant.(enligtened) 1. sila-morality right speech/thought/right living 2.samadhi right concentraion 3. Panya-wisdom....without1 &2 you can not achieve 3. and with 3 u can achieve 1 &2, this is like a cycle....Buddha taught everything is like a cycle...dying re birth...everything n this world, like a tree-seed. that is the reason Buddhism represented with a wheel, cycle. Anyways if you want you can convert to become a Buddhist- Good, my view is you DONOT have to become a religious person, to become a better humanbeing.. each and every Buddha's teachings are pure logical, scientific...and more close to atheism. | ||

What I meant to say is that vedas are much older than the philosophy of vedantha... and vedantha is not necessarily the summary of vedas...It has it's own deviations..for example, it has eliminated most of the rituals that vedas themselves have advocated....and The concept of Advaita as advocated by Adisankaracharya is also a bit different; isn't it? Vedantha is one of the six Orthodox Indian Philosophies... However, it is belief in Vedas (NOT Vedantha) that makes a school of Philosophy "Astika" as opposed to Nastika.......hope my prior posts make more sense, if you read them after reading this one... | ||

follow Buddha's teachings not merely just follow but by heart, do meditate, not just try to force your mind or control your thoughts, the middle path Buddha taught is Observation..observation of your thoughts, feelings, judgements, fears, everything not just as by your self but as an observer, neither aversion towards your fears,pains no craving towards pleasures...observe,awaken, alert Buddha said" everybody can become a Budhha by practice-a fully awakened one' but in this present world its almost impossible...Buddha never said to go to forests or to shave your head or grow long hair..be in society but be better humanbeing...the core essence of Buddha's teaching is how to live peacefully...with compassion, pure love.. | ||

avasaram leduuu GG...following Buddha's teachings does not mean anything to convert to bhuddism... try to learn meditation: esp the one i recommend is vipassana which by pracitcing will change the total look of your life not from the outside to some one, but from inside for you. Being a better human being is the best.. | ||

In vedanthic philosophical concept, god and soul are one and the same. Purusha of sankhya is same as soul of vedantha. If believing in soul is asthika vada, then sankhya is asthika vada too. Here we have to carefully differentiate the conventional gods like krishna rama who are part of rituals and mythology from the soul/god of the actual philosophical 'concept'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeGK88_5T4 | ||

Why do you have to believe in God, to believe in the existence of a soul? Yes, you are right that samkhya is older than vedas...It is in fact the oldest of all the Indian Philosophies...and it was Natika In it's altered and later form, it is classified under Astika thoughts. | ||

Isn't this contradictory? Vedas believe in soul. If samkhya accepts vedas, it also must accept soul. Samkhya is much older than vedas and was developed independently from vedic thought. Purusha of sankhya is nothing but Self or soul of a vedantic belief. Samkhya is the basic psychology of all hindu thoughts. Its neither nasthika nor nireeswara vada. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeGK88_5T4 | ||

Coke..Truly speaking, Early Buddhist Philosophies did not believe in God.. Like I already mentioned, They had strong belief in Karma and Reincarnation; but they also advocated that karma is both inexorable and infallible...and that there is no God to alter it or implement it per his whims... However, now they have many schools...like Theravada, Vajrayana and Mahayana....and I am not familiar with the finer details of what each one of them propagates. | ||

Coke, Here, it refers to not having belief in the authority of Vedas... "Non-believers"...Buddhist, Jain and Carvaka.. As you may already know, Samkhya philosophy accepts the authority of vedas, but does not believe in God...It is also a "Nastika" school of philosophy, but the meaning here is different. | ||

coke bro, Hinduism has changed(or lets say evolved) considerably over time. ivaala conversion to hinduism ledhu ante ledhu.. undhi ante undhi, it depends on the individual. there are official ceremonies for accepting hinduism, but by no means a rule or a necessity like baptism. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

Ruj... The striking similarity between Buddhism and Hinduism is the fundamental belief of both religions in Karma...Both religions strongly advocate the law of karma, and also the philosophy of reincarnation that is attached to the law of karma...They insist that karma is inexorable.. However, while Buddhism believes that karma is infallible, Hinduism believes in a God who eventually implements the Karma... Apart from that, they are strikingly similar...

Five obligations of Hindus. Upasana, Worship: Young Hindus are taught daily worship in the family shrine room -- rituals, disciplines, chants, yogas and religious study. They learn to be secure through devotion in home and temple, wearing traditional dress, bringing forth love of the Divine and preparing the mind for serene meditation. Utsava, Celebration: Young Hindus are taught to participate in Hindu festivals and holy days in the home and temple. They learn to be happy through sweet communion with God at such auspicious celebrations. Utsava includes fasting and attending the temple on Monday or Friday and other holy days. Virtuous living, Dharma: Young Hindus are taught to live a life of duty and good conduct. They learn to be selfless by thinking of others first, being respectful of parents, elders and swamis, following divine law, especially ahimsa, mental, emotional and physical noninjury to all beings. Thus they resolve karmas. Teerthayathra, Piligrimage: Young Hindus are taught the value of pilgrimage and are taken at least once a year for darshana of holy persons, temples and places, near or far. They learn to be detached by setting aside worldly affairs and making God, Gods and gurus life's singular focus during these journeys. SAMSKARA, Rites of passage : Young Hindus are taught to observe the many sacraments which mark and sanctify their passages through life. They learn to be traditional by celebrating the rites of birth, name-giving, head-shaving, first feeding, ear-piercing, first learning, coming of age, marriage and death. Entering Hinduism has traditionally required little more than accepting and living the beliefs and codes of Hindus. This remains the basic factor in the process, although there are and always have been formal ceremonies recognizing entrance into the religion -- particularly the namakarana samskara, or naming rite in the case of adoptives and converts, and the vratyastoma, vow-taking rite, in the case of those returning to one sect or another of the Hindu religion. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||
