Hi Gyro : your post stated "During this time the rise of popularity of Buddhism and Jainism were the main catalyst for the start of Sankara's Advitha philosophy and many of the Bhakthi schools"
The above statement indicates that the Start of Sankara's philosophy was guided by Buddhism and Jainism. Well thats what my understanding of english w.r.t catalyst broadly meant by your post.
No sweat, so pls do relax :-)
Now the only science I know is - it has to be proven. Eastern or Western doesnt matter.
Faith in research u say!
I beg to dissagree because, when research exist it results in proof or lack of it. We dont have faith in research, we acknowledge that research is proven and thereby accepted worldwide. If I take crocin tablet for a mild fever, its not out of faith. Its in the acknowledgement of the research that the tablet has proven to have worked for such a health disorder. I have recently explained what faith is, its too powerful a word to be used on such details.
By the way - I had asked, did Buddha's teachings refer to god? I dont think he did. Zen teachings in the eastern world also didnt. Sanadhana Dharma also didnt is my understanding... which is why I feel we are holding on to the path and not realising that the path is meant to reach a destination....
I still remember a teacher state.. meditation begins with calming one's mind from many thoughts to one and finally that one to NONE. Most of us, have many thougths on GOD only... when will it come to one, and then to NONE? Intersting challenge....
