Buddhism - Declined or Brutalized in the land of its birth?

[MULUBJA]

What he is really complaining is that Hindus and Hinduism just refuse to lay down and Die

He expects us to become and act like parsis. Refugees in our own land.

Ya Zihadis forget that we have different history. We defeated the most powerful warrior Alexander, shakas, Huns, Kushanas, Muslims and we exist today in form of the oldest civilization where the 140 civilizations on this planet has disappeared. They believe that they will be able to demolish us one day without realizing that when they were rulers, they could not do anything. Now we are becoming more and more powerful and in coming 2 decades we shall be a huge economy and a mighty military power with an influence on every corner and presence in every corner of the planet. So they are whining and crying. They think that they will be able to counter us with false propaganda and middle east money. They forget that they are loosing importance and will get marginalized and shall be seen begging in some city like the Tipu sulatan and Auragnzeb dynasty.

Biggest joke is two madrassis (don't know who murabba is, don't really care) moaning about "allowing" Parsis on "their" land.

Chandals.

Cheers, Doc

Man such a detailed post is not required to refute that joker. You are giving him too much importance.

He is just a frustrated hater stewing in his own hate. I enjoy watching him burn. I suggest you do the same.

Chandals.

So elegant.
*sniff* Little boy has grown into a Jihadi Racist.

He was always a Racist. Calling names and howling in frustration is just about the only thing he can do

One of the Major reasons why Buddhism is considered Historical and Hinduism is not because Buddhism flourished during the second Urbanisation of India 500 BC onwards, leaving a lot of corroborating archaeology and inscriptions , that helps the reconstruct its earliest history..compared to that Hinduism flourished mostly in the Painted Grey Ware period, where the evidence is scant

Evidence of Hinduism and writings existed in temples which was destroyed during the islamic invasion. This also destroyed a lot of Hindu scriptures and records too.

Since buddhist did not have Deities a.k.a "idols" they were spared and Hindus became the more obvious targets thus drawing away the islamic barbarians from their centers.

Second reason is the british propaganda that wanted to divide Hindu society and weaken it post 1857. Targeting Hinduism was the path of maximum benefit and that is what they did successfully. We are still suffering the after effects, and most of us are not even aware of the extend of british social programming.

Western Scientific Project is independent of the prejudices of the political class...If propaganda was key, the the British would have destroyed IVC before word getting out..But they took care to preserve it and invest hundreds of thousands of pounds in it, and even rerouted rail lines...The White Man sees Pursuit of Science/History in the same manner the Indian Man sees pursuit of Yoga/Meditation----extremely Holy , sacred and worthwhile

This whole thread is basically "My cult is less violent to Buddhism than yours".

Buddhism is also a cult. One of it's form is in Myanmar and Sri Lanka that are violent toward other ethnics or religion.

Granted Buddhism in Myanmar and SL is very oafish these days....But the Buddha is as interesting a person as you would get in the Classical world this side of Scientific Atheism

That is the most ignorant and naive thing I have ever heard in my entire life.

Western prejudice is a reality otherwise you would not be needing a Visa to visit Europe or the US

If 30,000 British could rule 300 Million Indians and exploit them at will, only a fool would think that propaganda had nothing to do with it.

The white man sees pursuit of science and history as a means to ensure his own supremacy in the world order.

A Hindu pursuits Yoga to ensure his supremacy OUTSIDE the world order.

They are literally at the two opposite spectrum.

On one hand you acknowledge Buddha as a Schizophrenic sociopath and OTOH you claim him to be a "scientific Atheist"

Its quite amazing how you so consistently contradict yourself.

If Propganada is what British wanted, they would have destroyed Indus Valley Civilization upon discovering it as it impinged upon their narrative of the Aryans civilizing India....I am saying White view Science inherently good and worthwhile the way Indians see Meditation as inherently good and worthwhile

For them the Scientific/Historical Method is the key instrument of acquiring Knowledge

For us Meditation/Yogic Method is the key instrument of acquiring Knowledge

Buddha was NOT a Scientific Atheist..He was as close as one could get to Scientific Atheism inspite of believing in afterlife

I don't see what's wrong with s/he said. He didn't claim of any deity or such things. And it was thousands of years ago when Buddha lived. For his time, he was great. What I am not fond of is how present day's populations subscribe to different cults including Buddha.

LOL....... why would the british spend time and resource in destroying ancient ruins when they can benefit from it ?

They certainly did nothing to protect these ruins.

White even viewed slavery as something that is inherently good and worthwhile ....... till they no longer needed it and it was easier to abolish it. They continue to see discrimination as something inherently good and worthwhile and that is why India is not allowed to have nuclear weapons. It continues to be the white mans burden.

For us, Yoga is not a method to acquire knowledge. For a white man, Knowledge is acquired as a means to acquire Power. Its goals are narrow and exploitative if need be.

Yoga is a method to help us become one with the Universe. Not gain knowledge, but recognize that knowledge as we know it is just "Maya", an illusion.

What was scientific about Buddha ?

Did he follow the scientific principle of testing a hypothesis, and repeat-ability of his hypothesis ?

He was the only Buddha in his sangha, no one else was able to replicate his experiment. So how is it scientific ?
