advaita vedanta and buddhism

[Guest guest]

various positions:

The Vedas exist and are patently clear to anyone who approaches them with

the correct preparation.

 

The Vedas is the short form for a 'particular interpretation of the

Vedas'. Each tradition has its own interpretation. There can be radical

differences. Like the man told me about the Kerala coalition of Marxist

Peking and Marxist Moscow - " Difficulties are there " .

 

Whilst there has always been a verbal homage to the idea that all paths

lead to the same goal there also existed a strong feeling that the other

man's compass was unreliable. If a man's wisdom was undeniable then that

could only be because he had in a previous life had contact with the

" truth " . Such childish rationalisations can mutate into fundamentalism.

 

Best Wishes,
