Re: Advaita and Zen?
Namaste SS,
I've also seen some similarities in Advaita and Buddhist teachings. There are different points of view, certainly, but there are echoes of each other, there is no doubt. I think at this stage, it's a case of finding the path that you know you can commit to focusing your mind on understanding, and giving it your all from there. If all these are really the same, why worry about the others? We will all arrive at the same goal in good time.
The wisdom of Sanatana Dharma is so deep if only more knew about it.
That is the power of the truth offered in Sanatana Dharma. It is eternal. They will know of it, and eventually know it, someday. Besides, it is promising to think if many modern day peoples around the world think so highly of Buddhism, what will they have to say about its predecessor? How else to explain you're being here and appreciating the immensity of the knowledge within SD?
Om namah Shivaya
"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
