According to bullshit from Indians that cannot be verified by concrete proof.
Get me DNA samples of the Buddha from Bodh Gaya and I will believe you.
Ya, I know that may be impossible, that's why it is pointless to continue your bullshitting and continue Indians despicable habit of claiming credit for the religion and work of others.
There is a range of common terminology and common descriptions of the meditative states that are seen as the foundation of meditation practice in both Hindu Yoga and Buddhism. Many scholars have noted that the concepts of
dhyana and
samādhi - technical terms describing stages of meditative absorption – are common to meditative practices in both Hinduism and Buddhism.
India now have textbooks claiming victory for war in 1962.
Few centuries from now, Indians will boast about their great victory in 1962 no end even though there is concrete proof of India's humiliating defeat.
How can we trust any information from Indians 2500 years ago with no records ?
Most of the Indian history has records, even how & who spread Buddhism to other countries, be it Ashoka, Gupta, Bodhidharma, etc.
The oldest universities of the world recorded in history is Indian. They taught Indian vedic teachings which included teachings of Buddhism & it
The Chinese monk
Yijing wrote that matters of discussion and administration at Nalanda would require assembly and consensus on decisions by all those at the assembly, as well as resident monks:
If the monks had some business, they would assemble to discuss the matter. Then they ordered the officer, Vihārpāl, to circulate and report the matter to the resident monks one by one with folded hands. With the objection of a single monk, it would not pass.
In his biography of Xuanzang, Hwui-Li states that all the students of Nalanda studied the Great Vehicle (Mahayana) as well as the works of the eighteen (
Hinayana) sects of Buddhism.
A vast amount of what came to comprise
Tibetan Buddhism, both its
Mahayana and
Vajrayana traditions, stems from the teachers and traditions at Nalanda.
Shantarakshita, who pioneered the propagation of Buddhism in Tibet in the 8th century was a scholar of Nalanda. He was invited by the Tibetan king,
Khri-sron-deu-tsan, and established the monastery at
Samye, serving as its first abbot. He and his disciple
Kamalashila (who was also of Nalanda) essentially taught Tibetans how to do philosophy.
Padmasambhava, who was also invited from Nalanda Mahavihara by the king in 747 CE, is credited as a founder of Tibetan Buddhism.
There are many sources which mention that Nalanda was visited by both
Mahavira and the
Buddha in c. 6th and 5th century BCE. It is also the place of birth and nirvana of
Shariputra, one of the famous disciples of Buddha.
Whereas it is a fact that India is created by their British masters who went on to create Hinduism.
" In Encyclopaedia Britannica it says:~ The word Hinduism was first used by the British writers in the year 1830 to describe the multiplicity of the faiths of the people of India excluding the converted Christians. (Volume -20, Reference -581)
"
Yes HINDUISM is given to the Indians by their British Masters.
I sincerely wish this will be my last post on religion on this thread.
If British created Hinduism, are you saying British are of Hindu origin. Hinduism is always been there before any religion. It was known as Sanathana Dharma. The invaders before British & even Chinese from ancient times have called the people of the sub-continent as Indu, Hindu, etc. The name is given or derived from Sindhu River - The people past Sindhu or Indus river. Indus became (H)indus. So it's not British - go learn your history before you preach.
So just the name of our religion got changed, it was not given by anybody. Sanathana Dharma was there long before any religion of the world was invented by people. It's known as Hinduism today.
Yes it is not pleasant to discuss religion, all the more so when it is to claim credit for the religion of others.
Which researcher or historian has said Buddhism is not an Indian religion.
