DESCRIPTION
What is the Brahmanical Hindu understanding or misunderstanding of the Buddha and Buddhism? Modern enlightened Hindus wedded to the Vaidika Sanatana Dharma tradition hold that the Buddha was a Hindu reformer, Buddhism a Hindu sect; that original Buddhist teaching was Vedantic or Hinduistic, and that the Buddhists have misunderstood the fulfilment of the Hindu religion and distorted the original teachings of the Great Master.
