Buddha Avathar ?

[Guest guest]

 Sankara mostly debated with adherents of puurva miimaamsa. By the time of this

avatara - kumarila in north and Saivite nAyanmars in south had cleared out the

dominance of naastika darshana-s such as jaina and bouddha.

 

 

 

Namasthe.

 

 

 I am really confused with the bouddha avatara. Though Buddha was a Nastika,he

is regarded as an Avatar By Hindus and during my recent trips to Kaasi,Allahabad

and gaya to perform pitru karmas, reference to Buddha Avatara takes a

prominent spot in sankalpas done in all these holy palces before doing pitru

pujas .

 

 

Somewhere in Dasa Maha Vidya also Buddha avatar is equated and this I faintly

remember in the book wriiten by Pujya Dr. Goda Sastrigal. 

 

pl clarify.
