Destructive influence of Buddhism

Subj: Destructive influence of Buddhism
1. Dear Surinder Paul Attri Jee
Namaskar and regards. Thanks for your response.
I agree with you mostly but do not in a few issues. Let me underline a few of them. I have given my views in general in the articles provided.
Dharma is not religion. Dharma is about ‘Satya’ and ‘Yoga.’ Religion is about social control.
Hinduism is a collection of Dharmas and Paramparas evolved in the Indian sub-continent and Tibetan plateau. It is a geographical definition. It contains the Dharmas like – Shaiva, Vaishnav, Baudha, Tantra, Jain etc.
Some Dharma like Shaiva and Vaishnav uses the divine revelations. Baudha and Jaina do not. They remain empirical. On the other hand, Shaiva and Baudha both uses Gnan yoga and Raj yoga mostly. The difference being – Shaiva uses ‘Brahma’ as revealed, Baudha does not use any beliefs and remains empirical.
Caste system is a social not Dharmic issue. The social issues are economic and human motivations. They are not about Satya and Yoga. Buddism as any other Dharma is aout internal discipline, nothing do with social or caste issue.
Ahimsa as taught by any Dharma including Buddha dharma is about internal aggression. Buddha does not tell you not to be aggressive but merely gives you a analysis of aggression. External aggression and wars are separate issue. It is the job of Kings\politicians to face such aggression.
Evils and aggressions need to be recognized and opposed. However, it must be dealt in social and political levels. It need not be confused with Dharma, which is about Satya and Yoga.
Sincerely,
Tilak Shrestha, Ph.D.

Everybody is entitled to his opinion. I do not expect any body to agree with me.

COMMENT: This Mumbo Jumbo is of academic-interest, it is ivory-towered, but not related to subject under discussion ( destructive influence of Buddhism ).

4. Quote: Caste system is a social not Dharmic issue. The social issues are economic and human motivations. They are not about Satya and Yoga. Buddism as any other Dharma is aout internal discipline, nothing do with social or caste issue.

COMMENT: Regardless, Hinduism gets bad publicity for it, because Hindus practice it. I do not support caste system, I denounce it. I support Integral-Hinduism ( totally caste less Hinduism. )

5. Quote: Ahimsa as taught by any Dharma including Buddha dharma is about internal aggression. Buddha does not tell you not to be aggressive but merely gives you a analysis of aggression. External aggression and wars are separate issue. It is the job of Kings\politicians to face such aggression.

COMMENT: This is very amusing, farcically-funny, because it is the same explanation ( of Internal-Jehad ) that Islam, the crackpot religion of peace, offers. But there is no concern for truth in it ( Yanke label for it is bull-sh** ). Jehad, which is obligatory on a Moslem, is all about massacre, murder, misery of Kafirs, and there is a direct connection between Jehad ( murdering Kafirs ) and Janat ( Moslem's.Paradise ).

Islam teaches that:
Whatever wrong a Moslem might have done, once he kills a Kafir ( i.e engages in Jehad ), he ensures that he shall never be in Jhanam ( Islam's Hell ).

5. Quote: Evils and aggressions need to be recognized and opposed. However, it must be dealt in social and political levels. It need not be confused with Dharma, which is about Satya and Yoga.

COMMENT: Evil needs to be confronted at fundamental level, not at a secondary or subordinate level.
