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 the 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).
Buddhists 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 for 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 was 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 sages 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 non-duality.
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
