      Dont give us a wrong information, buddha was not born as a hindu, he was from local warrior community of that time, hinduism didnt exist at that time, it was brahminism not hinduism, hinduism started in india after 500 AD to counter the influence of buddhism.
      Buddhism is the separate religion based on rationality which lacks in hinduism.
      Buddha is not an incarniation of vishnu. Vishnu is not a historical figure, he is mythological figure.

and if you're talking about mythology we have more older older things than that... don't sell your Crypto history here first of all historians date Hinduism to be around 15 century BC 15 century BCE according to the Archaeological survey about oral traditions that were done and the Rocky Ghadi foundation and the recent excavations has shown that the Pri vedic age the oldest religious practice was kriya yoga and the Pashupatinath seal was that of lordshiva end of story don't bring your stupid distortions here Sanskrit and other languages come from the bramhi language and Brahmi and Brahmin of the world that are pre-vedic in nature don't sell your Crypto history here just to paint Buddhism and Jainism in a big light Rishabh Nath was a student of nandikeshwar Nath and we have historical you evidence of that it was later changed by Janice we have writings of rishabhanatha when he himself says that his teacher was nandikeshwar Nath rishabhanatha did his last Tirth to Kailash because Kailash all the was rejected by Janus because they did not believe in God but everybody knew the value of Kailash and the oldest claim of Kailash to be holy place was by Buddhism not by any other religion don't do all this you will get trapped in your own game .... don't tell me the first man seated in a posture is from Buddhism no he is not that is Pashupatinath and the Pashupatinath Linga is based on that dimension the earliest Yogesh where the not Yogesh and they still where those things they still live like that they still live with animals that is not Buddha that is Pashupati and Shravan S R after Pashupati Yogesh the brahmanas are on a different dimension the creator Yogesh aur on different dimension don't cherry-pick history from here and there and try to prove that Jainism and Buddhism is older than Hinduism don't do all that nonsense it is not know history never concludes that Jainism and Buddhism is older than Hinduism it is only Marxist of India full love Buddhism because they have to attack Hinduism here and Buddhism in China that is all the reason they do it they will mock Hinduism here and Burn Buddhist monks in Tibet that is how the communist are leave the commonest site there is a talk by Raja Chaudhary on the Pashupatinath seal and it was a shivakant shivakant is the oldest Cult in the world end of story is the adiyogi the first Yogi rishabhanatha is a student of nandikeshwar Nath and nandikeshwar Nath is a student of Lord Mahadev.... padmasambhava can contain and know the knowledge of Tantra from an alien I don't care but it is written in the biography attributed to Ashok Goyal of which I can also provide sources where he himself says that he has practiced Shiva agamas don't full me and Kali is a word which is also Pri Vedic it is there in the Tamil Siddhanta Tara is the only goddess which came from Buddhism Kali is older than any this Doctrine call is not taken from Buddhism neither is Mahakal are these are Hindu forms of the Gods and the lingapuram also the Devi Bhagavatam is before padmasambhava without question even in written form and we all know Indian tradition is a oral tradition and Kali is a word from that oral tradition is not a new world that Everest out of Nowhere and was given to us in Diksha by the Buddhist this cannot teachers anything about Kali the concept of the Adi parashakti was there in the oldest him to the great mother in Veda that is known as Devi Suktam and Kali is older then vajrayana Buddhism itself vajrayana came into history post 900 ad but the Shiva ademas mentioning Mahakali in the Chroma system was before that all of which I can give you historical evidence yes Tara was a goddess which came from Buddhism no doubt way older than vajrayana Buddhism and Tamil Siddhanta is older than religion first update yourself about this things and don't be in a rush to conclude that Buddhism is superior than other religious this is a very stupid way to go I have respect for Buddhism and when I said padmasambhava is seen as the Shiva of Tibet it is from a context that he holds that dimension which we recognise as Shiva tattva you are allowed to have your own interpretation and not talking about that that is the secondary preposition only Guru matsyendranath Guru padmasambhava where known as possessing Shiva tatva in its fullest there are many others who possess that in their own proportions but it was only these two people who were considered fullest embodiment of Shiva tattva by Himalayan Yogi end of story and you cannot patronize yourself like that the Bhairav Vigyan Tantra is way older than and the concept of Kala Bhairav Mahakali Maha Kala Bhairava predates Buddhism at Gautam Buddha and I have evidence for that.....tirumalai is of 2500 bc the writer of shaiva siddhanta......the first tantric text.....history approves it..... and for your information the word Kali is mentioned in the Shiva Siddhanta at the Mantra is also present and as far as Buddhism is concerned Buddhism is nobody to teach the she was about tantra don't teachers anything about tantra the only goddess who travelled from Buddhism to Hinduism Is Tarah that too in Bengal it is for a very specific reason because when krishnananda agambagish came the remainder of vajrayana was still present his big sister was of Mahakali kram system so don't abe try to go in that direction I have enough historical proof for that and you talked about the history city of Lord Shiva the writer of shaiva Siddhanta whom I mentioned was the student of nandikeshwara and nandikeshwara was the teacher of both rishabhanatha and Thirumalai what's the student of Lord Shiva end of story I have no inferiority crisis to include padmasambhava I am not that kind of a person but it is the biography attributed to padmasambhava consort mother of Buddha's in which it is written padmasambhava practiced Shiva tantra I am not saying that at the brihad Arya Nayika Upanishad is older than shramanas and as far as the the vedic shield of yogic posture is concerned it is of the pashupata tantrik and that is historical you recorded the pashupata used to worship the Pashupati at that is Pashupatinath not rishabhanatha or Buddha.... and Shiva cannot be considered a Buddhist because he predates the idea of a Buddha he delivered the Shiva sutras he was the teacher of nandikeshwara nandikeshwara was the teacher of Shiva Siddhanta and they predate the age of both Nagarjuna and of padmasambhava and as forest be considering padmasambhava as the Shiva of Tibet is not my consideration I don't care it is something that the Himalayan yogis call him in it is something that the Himalayan yogis call him in respect and lordshiva is not a Buddhist he because the oldest historical scene of Pashupatinath is found and that is Lord Shiva the oldest tantrik script that is Shiva Siddhanta is of Lord Shiva and there are books in which it is retain Rudra the oldest God so I don't have anything to prove I took the name of padmasambhava because this video is about Buddhism I am not interested everybody except lordshiva and don't lie in my face before 900 ad there was Bhadrakali in Kashmir at the name Kali is older than chinnamasta ka is a form of Kali, Kali is not a form of chinnamastika get that straight in your head Saraswati existed before the concept of Tara ,Nila Saraswati transformed into Tara after Buddhism that is true and it is you who is telling me that vajrapani is a historical figure Dipankar Buddha is a historical figure and you have historical proofs for millions of years ago and the vajrapani looks like a mythical figure who taught Tantra to someone you mentioned and you are telling me that how can I have the guts to compare without understanding the contexts that Shiva is is used in three different dimensions Shiva is the reference to enlightenment state or the awakened state or the permanent eternal consciousness in Kashmiri visham Shiva is the name of a particular Shakti and a particular dimension and Shiva is also the name of Lord Mahadev.... don't try all these things Trident is the oldest symbol of Shiva tantra, the 9th century trika system that you are talking about his of Abhinav Gupta before Abhinav Gupta there was Dasgupta before that there was somananda ,before that these was vasugupta and was before 250 years of padmasambhava abefore every other culture the first pashupata tantrik used the Trident in that Rudra Suktam there is a mention of a Trident the Tamil Siddharth who existed thousands of yours before any kind of yogic aur Shravan a any kind of yogic aur Shravan a any kind of yogic aur Shravan a tradition existed because they were from Tamil culture used the Trishul symbol and to tell you again there is a Shiva Linga found which is date according to Tu archeological resources to be over 6000 years old of 4000 BC and a painting of a Trishul is present in that cave did the Hindus give you the permission to take Vishnu and consider him a bodhisattva did the Hindus give you the permission to call somebody and incarnation of Saraswati and how dare you call Kashmir a Buddhist place Kashmir and how dare you call Kashmir a Buddhist place Kashmir and how dare you call Kashmir a Buddhist place??? Kashmir is named after Kashyap not the Kashyap of Buddha for the Kashyap of Hinduism one of Kashmir is named after Kashyap not the Kashyap of Buddha for the Kashyap of Hinduism one of the Kashyap of Hinduism how much do you know about the history of Kashmir Vasuki Nag Raj Mandir is 2500 years old check the Archaeological Survey of India getting me the Buddhist took Vishnu Saraswati Nagaraja and transform them into something and now be claimed to be original next we did not say anything but it is you who is trying to prove this nonsense I know about my history more than you do!!!!

Nandinatha is said to have initiated eight disciples (Sanatkumar, Sanakar, Sanadanar, Sananthanar, Shivayogamuni, Patanjali, Vyaghrapada, and Tirumular) and sent them to various places to spread the teachings of Shaiva Siddhanta. Though some of these disciples were sent as far as China to spread the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy of their Guru, the work of two is especially important...... and later when durvasa established kashmirishaivism Vasu Gupta already wrote the Shiva sutras before padmasambhava came and there is historical proof of that and the symbol of Trishul as the symbol of Lord Shiva existed in India for eternity the whole Indian Pantheon new the symbol of Trishul as the symbol of Lord shiva and Kashmiri spirituality at that time use the Trishul as the symbol of para para para and apara and later Abhinav Gupta refreshed and Reforms the system into 3 ka system I know that history it was mostly in the Ladakh area that madhyamaka school was influential and yes when padmasambhava came he was respected by every Himalayan Yogi but that does not mean that we converted to Buddhism we will never convert to Buddhism and kashmirishaivism is one of the most advanced form of spirituality on the planet..... at the history of nandinatha Sampradaya can be traced back through archaeological and historical determination add the information I have posted is about that and you are talking about shramanas who opposed the brahmanic system the shramanas opposed the Pandit and Purohit system the pashupata who were tantrik and yogic shramanas existed way before Gautam Buddha there is a talk of Raja Chaudhary on this matter!!!

      @Indian Jawan Joint Communiqué by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Satya Narayan Goenkaji.
      The Maha Bodhi Society Office, Sarnath, Varanasi. 3:30 p.m., 11 November 1999
      This joint communiqué is being issued after the cordial talk between Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Guruji Shri Satyanarayana Goenkaji.
      Both agree and wish that there should be harmonious and friendly relations between both ancient (the Vedic and the Ṣramana) traditions. If there has been any misconception in this matter in the minds of the people of the neighbouring countries, it should be removed at the earliest.
      The following was agreed:
      1. Due to whatever reason some literature was written (in India) in the past in which the Buddha was declared to be a reincarnation of Vishnu and various things were written about him. This was very unpleasant to the neighbouring countries. In order to foster friendlier ties between the two communities we decide that whatever has happened in the past (cannot be undone, but) should be forgotten and such beliefs should not be propagated.
      2. A misconception has spread in the neighbouring countries that the Hindu society of India is organising such conferences to prove its dominance over the followers of the Buddha. To forever remove this misconception we declare that both Vedic and Ṣramana traditions are ancient traditions of India. Both have their own prestigious existence. Any attempt by one tradition to show itself higher than the other will only generate hatred and ill will between the two. Hence such a thing should not be done in the future and both traditions should be accorded equal respect and esteem.
      3. Anybody can attain a high position in the society by doing good deeds. One becomes a low (person in society) if one does evil deeds. Hence anybody can-by doing good deeds and removing the defilements such as passion, anger, arrogance, ignorance, greed, jealousy and ego-attain a high position in society and enjoy peace and happiness.
      We agree on all the three things mentioned above and wish that all the people of India from all the traditions should have cordial relations and the neighbouring countries should also have friendly relations with India.

      I wrote this to him just now and you may wana read it:
      The Buddha didn't talk much about a supreme being like the Vedas did (people in this age would probably fight over it so he was smart). Also, the Vedas only support a spiritually centered, MERIT based system so if Buddha supports that, he's NOT supporting a birth based caste system. Also, the Vedas predicted Krishna would come back as the Buddha over 5,000 years ago. maybe research more/better, and cite your sources more/better, so you and your viewers can stay on the path of truth more/better.
      Most people don’t have a full/accurate understanding of any religion. Example: although the Vedas were written over 5,000 years ago & known well before that, all major religions/major sciences stemmed from Vedas. Buddha, Christ were 1st mentioned there, as was all math, oldest histories, other planets, Relativity, etc. It also gave the socio-economic system that dominated/thrived all over (spiritually centered merit based system) BEFORE it was corrupted into a birth-based caste system. ALL life was respected with compassion (killing animals were allowed in rare, unavoidable situations, especially with minimal suffering to the animal). Vedic teachings share the same core teachings as the Bible (like having 1 supreme personal God) but because Vedas are so detailed & allow variations for people who are less good/truthful, it ALSO mentions God with his impersonal energy aspect (Brahman) and many “Gods” (AKA angels) and people misunderstand. Vedic shape/age of Earth is confirmed by modern science, but they have their own more detailed/advanced/accurate model of creation/evolution. If you need details/sources, watch this (you can skip the 1st/last video there) & if you don’t wana pay for the book in the link, message me for the free PDF…. ua-cam.com/play/PL37644B85810E3F6A.html

    Ambedkarites uses budha for politics. They refuse to understand the simple thing that a single person cannot know everything. Similarly, Mr ambedkar knew a lot about economy etc. But not dharma. Agreed there was caste based discrimination, but using that point to twist things is just not a sensible thing to do. He never wanted to understand the context of our Vedas and dharma.

      I wrote this to him just now and you may wana read it:
      The Buddha didn't talk much about a supreme being like the Vedas did (people in this age would probably fight over it so he was smart). Also, the Vedas only support a spiritually centered, MERIT based system so if Buddha supports that, he's NOT supporting a birth based caste system. Also, the Vedas predicted Krishna would come back as the Buddha over 5,000 years ago. maybe research more/better, and cite your sources more/better, so you and your viewers can stay on the path of truth more/better.
      Most people don’t have a full/accurate understanding of any religion. Example: although the Vedas were written over 5,000 years ago & known well before that, all major religions/major sciences stemmed from Vedas. Buddha, Christ were 1st mentioned there, as was all math, oldest histories, other planets, Relativity, etc. It also gave the socio-economic system that dominated/thrived all over (spiritually centered merit based system) BEFORE it was corrupted into a birth-based caste system. ALL life was respected with compassion (killing animals were allowed in rare, unavoidable situations, especially with minimal suffering to the animal). Vedic teachings share the same core teachings as the Bible (like having 1 supreme personal God) but because Vedas are so detailed & allow variations for people who are less good/truthful, it ALSO mentions God with his impersonal energy aspect (Brahman) and many “Gods” (AKA angels) and people misunderstand. Vedic shape/age of Earth is confirmed by modern science, but they have their own more detailed/advanced/accurate model of creation/evolution. If you need details/sources, watch this (you can skip the 1st/last video there) & if you don’t wana pay for the book in the link, message me for the free PDF…. ua-cam.com/play/PL37644B85810E3F6A.html

      Joint Communiqué by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Satya Narayan Goenkaji.
      The Maha Bodhi Society Office, Sarnath, Varanasi. 3:30 p.m., 11 November 1999
      This joint communiqué is being issued after the cordial talk between Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Guruji Shri Satyanarayana Goenkaji.
      Both agree and wish that there should be harmonious and friendly relations between both ancient (the Vedic and the Ṣramana) traditions. If there has been any misconception in this matter in the minds of the people of the neighbouring countries, it should be removed at the earliest.
      The following was agreed:
      1. Due to whatever reason some literature was written (in India) in the past in which the Buddha was declared to be a reincarnation of Vishnu and various things were written about him. This was very unpleasant to the neighbouring countries. In order to foster friendlier ties between the two communities we decide that whatever has happened in the past (cannot be undone, but) should be forgotten and such beliefs should not be propagated.
      2. A misconception has spread in the neighbouring countries that the Hindu society of India is organising such conferences to prove its dominance over the followers of the Buddha. To forever remove this misconception we declare that both Vedic and Ṣramana traditions are ancient traditions of India. Both have their own prestigious existence. Any attempt by one tradition to show itself higher than the other will only generate hatred and ill will between the two. Hence such a thing should not be done in the future and both traditions should be accorded equal respect and esteem.
      3. Anybody can attain a high position in the society by doing good deeds. One becomes a low (person in society) if one does evil deeds. Hence anybody can-by doing good deeds and removing the defilements such as passion, anger, arrogance, ignorance, greed, jealousy and ego-attain a high position in society and enjoy peace and happiness.
      We agree on all the three things mentioned above and wish that all the people of India from all the traditions should have cordial relations and the neighbouring countries should also have friendly relations with India.
      Your Shankaracharya accepted ua-cam.com/video/1UOjDYDAV64/v-deo.html

    I am student of jyotish (astrology) which originate from veda.and I tell everyone who don't have knowledge about caste system and whoever knowledge of veda and astrology will agree with me.in astrology there is term varna meaning jati. according to astrology every lagna and rashi have varna defined and according to that verna person possess innate qualities of that jati.i am born in brahmin but according to astrology I am shudra and according to shudra jati I have qualities to take care of people and I have seva bhao.my brother is vashya caste according to astrology and he definitely has merchant mentality and know how to deal with business.i have been told when caste system was created it was created because of innate born qualities of person and being shudra was not humiliating that time .it was division of labour and person caste was not decided because of his or birth .but unfortunately power hungry mentality distorted everything and made shudra caste to become slave .it was biggest sin created against our religion and sanatan dharma and humanity.caste was made according to birth not qualities.but knowledge of our great sanatan dharm dissolve all this nonsense.i appeal to all to study veda if not then vedic jyotish ,all will come to know what is meaning and purpose of caste system.i was atheist once because of my ignorance about my sanatan dharma but as I get knowledge slowly of it I get it and i find it so funny that people don't have knowledge of vedas and our sanatan dharma scriptures but humiliate innocent one in name of caste , religion and gender.

Some English guy classifies people into diff castes and you are saying you are not even mentioned in manusmriti! Tribals, since they lived in the forests, rules of the city do not apply to them. They are Avarnas, who do not fall in the varna system of life because the rules in the forest are different. There are only 4 varnas, Avarnas (tribes). Even asuras, rakshasas have varna though the punishment for being rakshasa is to be banished from the kingdom. A rakshasa is an intolerant person who harasses others.

      And avarnas is also called by brahmins to those who were not follower of brahmanical system those were buddhist followers thats why those were called avarns and were banned to enter to temples beacuse in those temples there were none other than buddhist arts aka god statue ,

    I accept that Buddhism and Hinduism have many similarities in mythology such as Devas, Yakshas, Asuras etc and language. It's just like how Islam and Christianity share many similarities such as Angels & Devil , but they are not same at all.
    Vedas and Dharmashastras (18 smritis) are undeniable basis of Hinduism. While Buddhism clearly rejects Vedas and Dharmashastras.
    Brahmins at the time of Buddha clearly condemned him and called his followers ' Sramana'. They considered Buddhists as rebellious to Vedic Dharma.
    Hindus believe in Parmatma. While Buddhists don't believe in Parmatma or Divine authority.
    Great scholar of Hinduism, Adi Shankaracharya clearly criticized Buddhism and Tantric traditions. He ran the campaign to revive Vedic Dharma and bring Indian people out of Buddhism and Tantric traditions.
    Yes, Hindus and Buddhists both have a beautiful fraternal bond. But it's highly disrespectful to equalise Hinduism and Buddhism as one belief system.

    Excellent! The attempt to break up "Hindusim" into Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism as separate and incompatible religions is a mischievous one as otherwise this "religion" would stretch from Afghanistan to Japan and from Mongolia to Sri Lanka. The central truths of dharma, karma, atma, reincarnation, moksha etc are common concepts to these sects as much as they are among Shaivites, Vaishanvites, Vedantins, Shakti bhakts etc and are found only in these dharmic religions and nowhere else.

      ॐ If someone adopts Sanatan dharma way of life. He automatically fits into the either Varna Vyavstha Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra according to their profession or Ashram Vyavstha Brahmacharya Grihasth Vanprasth and Sanyas. Together its called Varnashram Vyavstha for the benefit of the society. I can enlighten you on this vedic Varnashram vayvstha. Mail me
      Varna division start from us. Our head is our brahma to control our shoulders are our kshatriya to protect us our stomach is our vysya to feed us and our foot are our shudra to serve us. In other words for ourselves we ourselves are our ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य and शूद्र. For our family we all ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य and शूद्र for each other.
      But for the society we are ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य and शूद्र according to our profession to the society. In Another term division of profession. Which exists all over the world in different forms. And this is most scientific division of profession to avoid conflict in society. This Varna can be achieved by your Karma.
      To fit into Ashram one has nothing to do. Fits in naturally and can stay in any of the phase as long as he wants.
      Now it depends on us that we respect equally to our teacher and our toilet cleaner. Which Dharma clearly says respect each and every thing. This is why worship for all not only to teachers. So if you respect your teacher and toilet cleaner equally you are a great Dharmik person. To show respect we must touch feet not the head. Now where you see fault in this varna system. Lots of Rishi like Valmiki, Vedvyas, Ravidas, Parashar etc were not born in cast Brahman but respected worshipped. Cast seems a tribal identity with all the evils of Ego and depends totally on an individual local social environment no support from Dharma. 🙏🙏

    First, in the time when the Buddha was living, "hinduism" didn't exist ! It appeared (by syncretism with several currents) in the first half of the first millenium in C.E. And second, at this time, the brahmin culture and ideology was not present yet in the area where the Buddha lived (ie Maghada area).

    The Buddha was a Hindu. he lived with and preached to Brahmins,Jains,Jatil,Paribbrajak etc to those who has Hindu background but Buddha himself didn't call he was a Hindu.once he became an ascetic he renounced all of his identities. That is why he compared himself to a Lotus flower which bloom over muddy,smelly water and spread fragrance to the world.

    There is no doubt buddha was Hindu.. In those times, being born in India meant you were hindu, No matter what philosophy you followed. That Buddha mission was all about spirituality and he didn't plan on doing social reform - is true. But His dhamma didn't discriminate against anybody. But to say that buddhism was not different from Vedic culture is falsehood. Buddha stopped Animal sacrifices and Yagnas, introduced a concept of Karma in a country that was too steeped in ritualistic religion. He told everybody that karmas decide their fate rather than sacrifices/Yagnas to some entity sitting up there called God who is keeping a count of rituals one is doing. He introduced a concept of pervasiveness of consciousness( which we call GOd today). All of this was far beyond radical for those time, when folks hadn't seen well developed science/technology.

      Joint Communiqué by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Satya Narayan Goenkaji.
      The Maha Bodhi Society Office, Sarnath, Varanasi. 3:30 p.m., 11 November 1999
      This joint communiqué is being issued after the cordial talk between Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Jayendra Saraswatiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Pith and Vipassanacharya Guruji Shri Satyanarayana Goenkaji.
      Both agree and wish that there should be harmonious and friendly relations between both ancient (the Vedic and the Ṣramana) traditions. If there has been any misconception in this matter in the minds of the people of the neighbouring countries, it should be removed at the earliest.
      The following was agreed:
      1. Due to whatever reason some literature was written (in India) in the past in which the Buddha was declared to be a reincarnation of Vishnu and various things were written about him. This was very unpleasant to the neighbouring countries. In order to foster friendlier ties between the two communities we decide that whatever has happened in the past (cannot be undone, but) should be forgotten and such beliefs should not be propagated.
      2. A misconception has spread in the neighbouring countries that the Hindu society of India is organising such conferences to prove its dominance over the followers of the Buddha. To forever remove this misconception we declare that both Vedic and Ṣramana traditions are ancient traditions of India. Both have their own prestigious existence. Any attempt by one tradition to show itself higher than the other will only generate hatred and ill will between the two. Hence such a thing should not be done in the future and both traditions should be accorded equal respect and esteem.
      3. Anybody can attain a high position in the society by doing good deeds. One becomes a low (person in society) if one does evil deeds. Hence anybody can-by doing good deeds and removing the defilements such as passion, anger, arrogance, ignorance, greed, jealousy and ego-attain a high position in society and enjoy peace and happiness.
      We agree on all the three things mentioned above and wish that all the people of India from all the traditions should have cordial relations and the neighbouring countries should also have friendly relations with India.

    I have doubts in your views and demotion. There was a Radical change from Buddhas teachings including a change in the caste system. We know this from the the history of King Ashoka!! The king embraced Buddhism, 200 years after buddhas death, teaching dhamma, removing the caste system , stopped animal sacrifice and respecting other religions. Also, Buddha had many reasons why women were not allowed to join and it was all about timing. One reason could be due to safety and the other was resources.

      Buddha said Truth(his path) is available to all whether of any caste.. Even in hinduism, when someone becomes monk, he leaves his caste.
      One has to become monk to join his path, to meditation & things, whole life dedicated for it.
