The Bhagavadgita and Buddhism

Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:The influence of Buddhist teachings on the philosophical traditions of Hinduism is invariably brushed aside as inconsequential. Buddha's theory of anatta (selflessness) in the sixth century bc negating self in any form came as a complete antithesis to the Upanishadic teachings revolutionizing the field of philosophical enquiry and upsetting the conventionally held beliefs. Buddha rejects the concept of Atman or Brahman in the Upanishads as the ultimate reality. For him, truth is not in 'what exists' , but 'how everything exists?'. Selflessness and mutual dependency is the only truth and law of life, and love, compassion and non-violence become the guiding principles in life's journey. This is the essence of Buddha Dhamma. Shorn of all metaphysical superimpositions and constructions, nirvana is nothing but eradicating all defilements and becoming an incarnation of selflessness. The ultimate goal is also described in the Bhagavadgita as Brahmanirvana.The Bhagavadgita arose some three to four centuries after the birth of Buddha. The attempt in the Bhagavadgita has been to provide the much-needed philosophical basis for the revival of Brahmanical Vedic religion by absorbing and assimilating the best in Buddhism and by synthesizing them with the core ideas of its own tradition. This book shows how the source of inspiration for Bhagavadgita's teachings on selfless actions and Karma-Yoga as well as its other ethical and moral percepts can be traced to the dominant themes and ideals held sacred in BuddhismWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
