Disappearance of Buddhism from "Non Violent India": An Untold Story

[aakash_2410]

ok then ask any other budhist if he/she believes that lord budha is avtar of lord vishnu..

mohanārthaṃ dānavānāṃ bālarūpī pathi-sthitaḥ । putraṃ taṃ kalpayām āsa mūḍha-buddhir jinaḥ svayam ॥
tataḥ saṃmohayām āsa jinādyān asurāṃśakān । bhagavān vāgbhir ugrābhir ahiṃsā-vācibhir hariḥ ॥
—attributed to Brahmanda Purana, quoted in Bhāgavatatātparya by Madhva, 1.3.28

Translation: To delude the demons, he [Lord Buddha] stood on the path in the form of a child. The foolish Jina (a demon), imagined him to be his son. Thus the lord Sri Hari [as avatara-buddha] expertly deluded Jina and other demons by his strong words of non-violence.

this is utter crap and insult to budhists....

=====================================================================
B. R. Ambedkar, who revived Buddhism in India, denied that Buddha was an incarnation of Vishnu. Among the 22 vows he gave to the neo-Buddhists, the 5th vow is "I do not and shall not believe that Lord Buddha was the incarnation of Vishnu. I believe this to be sheer madness and false propaganda.
=====================================================================

I already have. I have a Buddhist friend and he's the one told me about it. I wasn't even aware of it before that only then I asked my grandpa.

This Shloka Doesn't prove anything. I can also post so many Shlokas saying Bhagawan Buddha was an Avatar. :/ It is just something most of Hindus believe in.

I was talking about the history. You dont need to be personal. The rest of your posts are just blahblahblah... and shows your mere insecurity and frustration. Does ot deserve a reply.

loool Sure you were. Yeah but you were making your own version of Indian history. :/ and as I said if you provide with a source, I'll still believe you and yeah either that or you just don't have a comeback to back your claim.

Then how would you explain the existance of great Buddhist Monasteries/Universities(Nalanda and Takshashila) during the rule of HINDU kings in the Indian subcontinent?????????

By that time they incorporated to teach the Hinduism under Sena. Check the facts.

Its not my version. Its the Indian history. I have no personal agenda as you do.

disappearance of buddhism from india is because of three factors...

--- the kings who were patronizing buddhism reconverted to hinduism under the influence of teachings of hindu sages and saints...

--- the buddhist viharas themselves became corrupt centers of power and thus they lost focus on the spiritual matters making the people revert back to hinduism which was being re-energized by the teachings of adi shankara at that time..

--- islamic invasions and the complete destruction of great centers of learning like nalanda, taxila etc which were predominantly buddhist in character..

Under the Pala, Guptas, Mauryans, etc, etc, etc there was religious harmony. Then the White Huns invaded, they converted to Hinduism and persecuted Buddhism. It went down down hill with the Islamic invasion.

this shloka is from the wikipedia link you posted here
this so called pathetic shloka is reason why hindus believe that lord budha was avtar of lord vishnu...and budhists who believe this are not true budhists at all as they do not understand budhism and theory of lord budha...

Ha Ha Ha......by which time????.....what sena????

India wasn't ruled by a single HINDU ruler......and there was a HUGE distance between these two Universities.....

You might wanna add the fact that Buddhism is very liberal, tolerant and non-violent which made it vulnerable to the invaders.

Why you just dont go by the logic instead of laying out some myths.
The only surviving Buddhist were the one under last Buddhist king in India (that is current day Bangladesh) Pala dynasty. There were hardly any Buddhist left outside of his domain not even in Bihar. That means Buddhist had to migrate back to under Pala and had to go to hinterland like marsh of Bengal. There were no record of corrupt Buddhist Bihara in Bengal. They did survive until Islam came to Bengal as a Acchyut.

No buddhist were very strong but lost their power houses to Hindus before any invasion took place.

and that was exactly why after the initial rajput line of defence the center of india was a soft underbelly for invaders.....on the contrary in the maurya, nanda periods the central india was ruled by a single large empire with a masssive staanding army as a good defence against invasions...

it is said that after defeating porus, alexander turned back on hearing about the massive size of the army of the nandas on the abanks of ganga...

the pacifism of the buddhism destroyed this warlike mindset and made india prone to invasions...

myth..? those are the truths....

buddhism which started under Lord Buddha as a cleaning act of hinduism which had become corrupted under the brahmanical influence, itself became another version of brahmanism...

In Ptolemy's book it was mentioned about a army at the estern bank of Ganga not western bank of Ganga. Also Ganga flew North to South. So it was not pataliputra he was talking about.

and those saying buddhism is entirely different from hinduism...needs to have a look at the vajrayana buddhists in sikkim and tibet...its almost identical to hinduism...

ambedkarites are neo-buddhists....

Well, it did have its distinct branch and called buddhism. There were plenty of sect in Hinduism and all of them are Hindus not Buddhist.
