By becoming a monk and spending the whole life in the monastery refuse to accept Athma it is impossible for Buddhists to get the non-dualistic truth.+

 

Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama because they believe in emptiness but they fail to realize emptiness is the nature of Athma.

Without the Athma the universe ceases to exist. Without Atama it is foolish to talk of nonduality.

By following Buddhism and by becoming a monk and spending the whole life in the monastery refuse to accept Athma, the Self it is impossible for Buddhists to get the non-dualistic truth because Buddhism is dualistic.

Till Bhagavan Buddha is bifurcated from Buddhism and Sage Sankara from Hinduism it is impossible to realize the non-dualistic truth.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality. There is no doubt Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world. He told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. Bhagavan Buddha came nearer to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully. 

Remember:~

The way of Buddha is not a religion in the ordinary sense of the term, because it has no belief system, no dogma, no scripture. It does not believe in God, it does not believe in the soul, it does not believe in any paradise. It is tremendous unbelief—and yet it is a religion.

But once Buddha died, great philosophical schools arose. It had never happened in the whole world as it happened in India after Buddha. The man who for his whole life was against philosophy and philosophizing became the source of the greatest philosophical endeavor ever. Thirty-six schools of philosophy were born when Buddha died. And the people that he had always condemned all gathered together to philosophize about him. And see the beauty, the irony of it all! They started philosophizing about why Buddha kept silent.

Why he did not say anything about the beyond: that became their philosophy! They started talking about why he kept silent about the beyond. And there were as many answers as possible.

Somebody said, "Because there is no beyond." Now one philosophy has taken roots. Another said, "The beyond is, but it is inexpressible. That's why he kept silent." Now another school, and so on and so forth.

Even the silence of Buddha became a problem, and people started discussing the silence. Nobody tried to become silent; people started talking ABOUT the silence.

Beware of this trap, the mind is very cunning. If I say something about meditation, I am saying it so that you can meditate. But you start thinking about meditation, what meditation is. "How many kinds of meditation are there in existence? What is the difference between them? Why are they antagonistic to each other?

And then you can go on ad infinitum, and there will not be any time when you will ever meditate.

You will become more and more confused. You will become so confused finally that you will not know how to start meditation. because there are so many directions opening. Where to go? What to choose? You will simply be paralyzed.

The mind always does that. And only a few people who are really alert are capable of getting out of these traps of the mind. The mind is a great philosopher. And life is not a philosophy, life is a reality.

Philosophy is an escape from reality; philosophy means thinking. Life is - there is no question of thought. You can simply jump into it. OSHO

Remember:~

The seeker must have the courage of Bhagavan Buddha to accept the truth and reject the untruth. Since Bhagavan Buddha rejected religion, the idea of God and scriptures, therefore, it is evident that he has gone through every aspect and verified and found them to be inadequate and useless for the pursuit of truth.

That is why Bhagavan Buddha said: ~ “Believe nothing because a wise man said it, Believe nothing because it is generally held. Believe nothing because it is written. Believe nothing because it is said to be divine. Believe nothing because someone else said it. But believe only what you, yourself judge to be true.

Dalai Lama said: ~ Buddhism need not be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama (Soul) and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulburga).

Buddhist do not believe in Atma. Thus, the entire Buddhist theories and sutras are physical-based, therefore; they yield the truth of the part not the truth of the whole.

All the Buddhist teachings are not of the Buddhas but it is mixed up with other religions of different nations in Asia which were merged with Buddhism.

Thus, It is very difficult to get the true essence of pure essence Bhagavan Buddha‘s wisdom.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality. Advaitic Sages agree Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world.

Bhagavan Buddha told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.

Only when we independently search the truth without religion and its doctrine then we will be able to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.

Buddhism believes in reincarnation. Buddhism does not believe in the existence of Athma. Buddhism does not believe in the existence of God whereas Sage Sankara proved the existence of Athma and the existence of Brahman or God by declaring Atman is Brahman. From the standpoint of Athma, reincarnation is an illusion because birth, life, death, and the world are merely an illusion.

Bhagavan Buddha was a Gnani, not his followers. Bhagavan Buddha’s wisdom was lost, it is because it is mixed up and messed up with other religions in Asia wherever it existed.

Bhagavan Buddha was not Buddhist. Bhagavan Buddha was not the founder of Buddhism because he rejected the religion, scriptures, and the idea of God.

To get the pure essence of the wisdom of Bhagavan Buddha, Buddhism has to be bifurcated from Bhagavan Buddha's wisdom because Buddhism and all its Sutras are physicalized.

Bhagavan Buddha started the quest and Sage Sankara completed the journey. Bhagavan Buddha & Sage Sankara both are Sage of truth. Humanity owes gratitude to both great sages of truth.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality because Buddhists do not believe in Athma. Nonduality has to be based on Athma. Athma is the very essence of nonduality.

Sage Sankara says the Athma is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny the Athma because it is the very essence of the one who denies it. The Athma is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs. The Athma is the Self.

Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world and he told people, they were foolish to cling to it. However, he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.

Sage Sankara disagrees with Buddhists who say, there is nothing - a nonentity. Sage Sankara believes there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be. If one knows the truth, he will know what to do to find inspiration for action. The seeker‘s subject is to know what is it that is Real.

Unless one exercises his Reason (Buddhi) there is no chance of getting the ultimate truth or Brahman.:~Santthosh Kumaar
