Rediscovering ‘Sunyata’: Unifying Buddhism and Vedanta
https://www.opindia.com/2020/02/rediscovering-sunyata-unifying-buddhism-and-vedanta/
Buddha was a great Vedantist (for #Buddhism was really only an offshoot of #Vedanta), and Shankara is often called a “hidden #Buddhist.” Buddha made the analysis, Shankara made the synthesis out of it. #Buddha never bowed down to anything—neither #Veda, nor caste, nor priest, nor custom. He fearlessly reasoned so far as the reason could take him. Such a fearless search for truth and such love for every living thing the world has never seen. #Buddha was the Washington of the religious world; he conquered a throne only to give it to the world, as Washington did to the American people. He sought nothing for himself.
