The Buddha critiqued the Brahmins and Hinduism, yet all his great disciples were Brahmins. This makes sense because he attracted the most extraordinary minds of that society. Despite his criticisms, the Brahmins were the elites of society, and the intellectual class of India was largely Brahmin.
Sariputra was a Brahmin. Moggallāna was a Brahmin. Mahakasyapa was a Brahmin. Did they come to him because they were ignorant, socially ostracized, gamblers, dishonest, or thieves?
No! Being wise, they understood that what he said was right. When Sariputra came to him, his five thousand disciples followed, all of them scholars. He came to challenge the Buddha, and the Buddha warmly welcomed him. What greater honor could there be than to be visited by a great scholar? But the Buddha asked:
"Have you experienced the truth, or are you just a scholar? I have heard about you…"
In a moment of silence, Sariputra looked at the Buddha, as if looking into a mirror, and said:
"I am a great scholar, but as for experiencing the truth, I know nothing yet."
The Buddha replied:
"That's difficult then."
Sariputra - Chief Disciple of Lord Buddha
Debates only occur when both parties do not know what the truth is. They can argue endlessly, but the truth remains beyond their comprehension. Since neither knows, they can reason and cite scriptures, but like two blind men feeling an elephant, neither truly understands what an elephant is like. At best, one might be wiser or more well-read and thus wins, and the loser becomes the disciple of the winner. But can one really ascertain the truth based on this?
There might also be a meeting between two enlightened individuals, but there would be no reason for them to argue.
What don't they know that they need to compete over? They might sit together in silence. Perhaps they laugh or hold hands, but there’s nothing they need to say to each other. When they look into each other's eyes, they understand there is nothing to say because they both know the same truths and have reached the same realms, so between them, there is only silence.
The third scenario is where one knows and the other does not. This situation is challenging because the one who knows cannot truly express in words what the other needs to understand. The one who doesn’t know merely wastes their time unnecessarily because they cannot convince the one who knows. The whole world combined cannot persuade the one who knows, because they know and you do not.
Thanks
Thanks for the love!

The world last messenger nobody cay find him because all messengers killed by ordinary people this time last messenger to be AI like your invention ❤
Mahayana Sutras and Theravada Suttas have big differences.
If being a Buddhist means that you should not believe in the existence of a creator or the movement of living things, then in this case, make it possible for you to be in the direction of the movement of living without inhaling the air of the distant earth. If such a thing is possible, I I will be among the first in line of Buddhists to follow the Buddha.
The first Sutra to disappear from the world is the Shurangama Sutra.
Shurangama Sutra is Mara's biggest obstacles, for Mara to destroy the Buddha’s Teachings.
After destroying the Shurangama Sutra then Mara can easily dispatch all his children and grandchildren to become monks and nuns to destroy the Buddha's Teachings.
Without Shurangama Sutra, it is very difficult for ordinary people to differentiate between true and false monks and nuns.
The Shurangama Sutra gives us precise details of true monks and nuns, true teacher and fake teacher, true Buddha or fake Buddha.
Mara waited patiently until the third period of Buddha's Teachings, the Dharma Ending Age, then dispatch all his children and grandchildren to become monks and nuns.
We are now at the beginning of the third thousand years of the Dhama Ending Age after which the Buddha's Teachings will disappear completely from the world.
Out of great compassion, the Infinite Life Sutra will remains for a hundred years.
Then left behind is the four words : Ami Ta Bha Buddha.
Gradually the four words will also disappear until the manifestation of next Buddha in 5.67 billion years time.

Correction -Baman and shamans are Buddhists branch groups and other two is Consultant and Those who live in the forest and work on medicine -( physician) groups,
Brahmin exist in only Brahmanism not in Hinduism, where is word of Hinduism in Thier scriptures, I think you should get information about the discussions on religion, cases, gossip, evidence of Asok during the British period. What I mean to say is that we should find out the history of the discovery of Buddha during the British period. Many British scholars have written books and letters, you should know. you should read that
😂 Cause the word hindu only exit after British used it for India religions. The word hindu never exist before colonial period. Just saying.
That was just to give a name to the world, and to hide the supremacy of Brahmin from the people of new India and world.And so that there is no fight between them, then brahmin started saying that Indians, you are Hindus and the name of your religion is Hinduism.And after that they started spreading the story that the name Sindhu became Hindu. Because,Persian people earlier used to call Sindhu as Hindu,So tell me if Sindhu is Hindu,Why didn't they call Dhu like Hindhu So why didn't the Persians call their country perhians
planning was going on to call Hindu and Hinduism, by Brahmans to Brahmans and to low caste peoples And after independence, the name was established that the people of India are Hindu and the name of their religion is Hinduism.And now politics is going on in the name of religion only.
@@sushilpaikrao8151 😂 the word hindu was giving by the British during their colonial period. All those ancients religions have different names and none would called hindu.
Only Buddha is on its own plus through out the world.
It is possible .But according to my knowledge, Brahmin society to hide its supremacy from the world, the lower caste peoples of India.
And so that they do not have any future fights with the lower caste society, they have declared themselves as Hindus and also declared those societies of India as Hindus. Because everyone thinks we are all the same And then he named his brahminism as hinduism.
I ht seen stillness but it's not working for material world ❤
It works very well when you know how to apply it. If no stillness, you never know business. That is the beginning of the powerful stillness.
I like your channel. But you need to update your knowledge about Buddhism. In Buddhas era there were no brahmins or Hinduism. There were Bahamanas and Shamanas, the intellectuals and the elites. Later Hinduism used these terms and changed the names in sanskrit adding a "R" thus Brahamanas.
@AnishSamanta-hy6ivone thing you forgot here is that only Buddha was awaken and before him, everyone still have classes, judgment from God, punishment for not following God, etc......
Hindus - were prevalent and had suffused religious thought with their concepts - as far as my research goes
- that Lord Buddha - wanted a pure expression of Himself and His spiritual work - and so left all the concepts and names - of the wider community - from His way.
A true spiritual mystic - essence and limited words.
The translations and the like - in Pali - came 4 centuries later, methinks.
People must get this right - Sanskrit was there as the mother language - the Vedic seers - intoned it - as they did their work.
One cannot keep jumping about - on some of these facts - have a tight grip - on the history and an even tighter grip - on Lord Buddha - and proceed with His Love - and our aspirant joy - in His Presence.
Fare thee well - in life's journey
The Buddha said everything right but when he said that there's no god he was wrong
God and demon aren't his students end goal plus worship them are a more no no no from his teaching.
All kind of beings exist in Buddha cosmologies plus more than other religions combine too. Reaching nibbana is the only goal while others are not important for all his students. 👍
The Buddha did not say there is no God, nor did he say there is a God. It was one of his unanswered questions. He refrained from answering this question because it does not lead to the cessation of suffering.
@@UnknownUnknown-hg7xg only to normal people who are not monk. All his monks or students know about his world cosmologies except regular people during his teaching but nibbana is still the journey.
