Greetings All,

In the light of Advaita Vedanta where does the Bhuddist Abhidharma

stand? The Bhuddists claim this deep study is a total break-down of

the mind's components to give one a psychological method to overcome

the wrong workings of the mind. Is this just another " thing " in

itself to give the mind something to fixate on or does this study

actually have merit?

You're asking the wrong people, Steve!

 

Go ask a Buddhist who is knowledgable. But of course it is just

another " thing " ... like advaita or whatever else. The point is, is to

find the thing that will free you. For some it's Buddhism, for some

it's nondual teachings -- and in both cases some become attached the

words and concepts rather than finding out for themselves what they

are pointing to.

 

Best of luck,

Joe
