Today many yogis spend time ''seated on cushions'' expecting some spiritual experience without first mastering the basics of Life and Living spelt out in the Vedas, before graduating to seeking Nibbana. I believe, 2500 yrs ago the Art of Life and Living as taught in the Vedas, was practiced in every household. The Buddha expounded his doctrine from this launchpad. On the contrary, 21st century households have Eastern and Western launchpads. | |
| May 2, 2020 at 8:23 | comment | added | user14119 | I find the question rather muddled.The Vedas predate the Buddha. The Upanishads bring the Vedantic teachings into line with Buddhism. I see the choice between Shankara's Advaita and Mahayana as just a matter of preferred methodology.and aesthetics. The Buddha rejected the Brahmanic vedanta of his time, but then so did Shankara. Seems to me your question doesn't allow for all the subtleties. | |
