Brahmanism, is a very misguiding & dud term, coined by the tribes of western self-termed/so-called universalists, indologists, & missionaries, communists, militant atheists & what-have-you, with deviousness in its essence. i have seen it being used umpteen times. one of the most funny instances...

Buddha was without a doubt one great Yogi and reformer/reviver who was needed in that age & time. however, what 'hinduism' what 'buddhism' what any 'ism', everyone/thing eventually devolve with time (to fall down is the natural order of things), when again reforms/pruning/revival is required...

for all the negative connotations attached to 'brahmanic' rituals etc., buddhism itself quickly amalgamated them unto it. its said that Buddha on his deathbed had said to his disciples that i tried to show you the moon but you kept staring at my pointing finger. although i have no qualms with...

nice questions and nice replies am seeing here! i will also add something FWIW when am back from wherever i am.

because these are relative terms invented by a world born and perenially mired in duality. if there weren't to be any absence, there wouldn't have been any identification of its antagonist. for someone born sightless and remained so, the terms 'red', 'beautiful', etc. are not meaningful as they...

this world is of duality. dual everything. albeit therein lies the subtle unity underneath, the true 'thing'. for instance, good and bad are not two separate attributes in themselves, but the absence of goodness is identified as badness and vice-versa. if there wasn't to be any absence of...

and left regretting that the people/followers would only see his finger and not the moon towards which he indicated...
