What greater empirical truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably implies Buddha's emphasis on common sense and try to use conceptual reality as minimum as possible. (Like Buddha does not talk about Atman (as in Hinduism) but instead talks about Anatta. Buddha deliberated avoid referring (himself as or) to existence of any God that needs complete faith and surrender. This is in contrast to most of world's religions. Buddha's teachings are similar to likes of Jiddu Krishnamurthi's teachings in 20th century who is a self proclaimed atheist. The Indian atheist site Nirmukta also rates Buddha very highly. They criticize a lot about Hinduism (and sometimes about Islam/Christianity) but hail Buddha as the greatest Indian ever. An article from their site is: http://nirmukta.com/2011/01/26/buddha-the-sensible-rationalist/. Buddha's teachings make him unique in some ways like that.

zen Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Meanwhile in Pak: Hindus (and ppl of other religions originating in Ind) have to realize that India, along with Nepal, is the only place for them to keep their culture alive ...

zen Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Another issue is that concept of "secularism" is not well understood and/or probably not well defined ... A secular state means that the government has no religion but the citizens can practice whatever they like including promoting their religion without troubling others ... At times, when ppl speak about religion, they are deemed as non-secular as if they are government with no religion coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddha and Buddhism is misappropriated by western thought. They intend to say Hinduism and Brahminism was casteist and bad and all of Buddha, Mahaveer, Sikhs denounced this casteism or caste system. Nothing is farther from such truth. Read this, the new wave of authors and thinkers like Elst and others are very clear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the ones spreading that religion following is going down. Just like Freedom of Expression, Religion as long as it is expressed without being on their sleeve or not being supremacist like Islam/evangelist christians, NO NEED TO FEEL INFERIOR ABOUT FOLLOWING IT. I see christianity is going down amongst whites, but latin america, mediterranean Europe or Eastern europe it is growing. Hindus who blindly follow these white liberals and think that following religion is bad are in this group. We all know how Islam is growing. Liberals/communists/atheists want us to believe that Hindutva radicals are as bad as Mullahs or fundamentalists in the above group. They are in fringe and not in mainstream Hinduism. So, we can ignore these fear-mongering. I guess in Israel, there not many liberals/communists/atheists, and hence they don't see these problems as in India towards associating with science/technology but still associate with a religion/culture/tradition. We Indians are somehow made to feel ashamed to associate with a religion/culture/tradition by these commies.

Takes a while to grow the brain to understand that, which weakminded inbred fools like you are incapable of. Atheism isnt a western concept either.
