We Bengalis reject Brahmanism...Pala Empire shall rise again and along with it Vajrayana Buddhism...Muahahahahahahahahahahaha

Are you saying that you are a Bengali?

Any resemblances between this member and the writing style and ideological posture of any other member is purely coincidental.

I am Bengali, you can figure out my part-Mongoloid features from my Inset photo

Silly me.

Here I was thinking you were a false-flagger clearly revealed as one by your obsessing with northern and north-western Indian history, and ignoring the contrary indications given by the history of the rest of India.

My bad. Bengali contrarians resemble false-flaggers only superficially. Apologies. Obviously I don't know enough about Bengalis.

I am much more conversant with the History of Buddhism and History of Bengal...Study of NW India is just a side interest

There was only Brahmanism then..No Hinduism...No temples then..Only Vedas and Fire sacrifices..Buddha rejected the Vedas and any authority derived from the same...

.Buddha rejected the Vedas and any authority derived from the same...

Doesnt matter what he rejected or approved

The fact is Hinduism and Buddhism are indistinguishable

Hinduism has many GODS ; the principles are the same

There is NOTHING like the concept of Anatta in Hinduism...There is nothing like Vipassana in Hinduism..only Anapanasati...


There is nothing like the concept of moment-to-moment rebirth in Hinduism

Buddha had probably 30 points higher IQ than any of his contemporaries or anybody who preceded him

Hinduism is not just praying in temples through brahmins.Thousand people take bath in holy Ganges,Godabari rivers,oceans...pray sun,animals,mountain, graveyards etc ..they don't need any brahmin to pray for them.Budhha is like 1000 gurus who borned here to refine Hinduism.

You know according to Hinduism everyone with a soul is a god.We have made our every ancestor as god who deed noble things for societies including Muslim Sufi saints.

LoLz tell yourself that, Dilution of Buddhism is the reason why the best Awakened Masters are not born in India anymore, they are born in Tibet, Thailand and Japan....Obfuscating Buddhism with Hinduism does Indians more harm than good....

The Sage of the Sakyan race was just so friggin awesome!! People still wilfully ignore his teachings and deny His teachings its legitimate distinct identity

Buddhism can be seen as the first REFORM Movement in Hinduism
Because Buddha talked of the societal ills of his time

Without Hinduism ; there would be no Buddhism

Buddhism is not an original religion ; it is derived out of Hinduism

Buddhism shares certain characteristics with Hinduism, but its core observations came entirely out of the SuperMind of Sakyamuni

Buddhism rejects the existence of a Creator God and rejects caste system in EVERY FORM...Hinduism cannot exist without caste system OR creator God

The very fact that Buddhism Failed in India is because people could NOT relate to it

Buddhism rejects the existence of a Creator God and rejects caste system in EVERY FORM...Hinduism cannot exist without caste system OR creator God

Creator God is present in all religions

Without Creator there can be no religion

Caste system is wrong but that is not the fault of the Gods ; it is a Man made evil

Fair enough, you need High IQ for that

Hinduism cannot exist without soul. Buddha rejects totally the existence of the soul..The gaps between Jainism and Hinduism are bridgeable.............But Buddha's ideas were too much of a stretch for contemporary Brahmanism and still is for modern Hinduism
