Buddha, Jesus, Sankara etc.

Namaste,

 

In my book I see no difference, only a difference in audience and

semantics. Buddha became a Mukta under the Bodhi tree, I don't know

the history of Sankara's realisation, it may have been when he was

only thirteen or so. Jesus's seems to have come with his death on

the cross, whether the body survived afterwards is not the question.

So yes Sankara and Buddha taught the same truth, but in different

ways to different people. To people of lower awareness Advaita can

be mistranslated as Atheism, hence the exhortations to devotion of

some kind.

 

There can be only one truth and most would achieve moksha after

waiting in the Brahmaloka for mahapralaya. Sure all is illusion and

both Buddha and Sankara talked of constituents in this illusion. For

that understanding is peeling the onion.

 

IMO opinion there are very few people who achieve Moksha whilst

still alive, even an avatar has a veil and a mind........ONS..Tony.
