Quote:Although, Buddhism still has me baffled...anyone able to clarify ??
My perception is that Buddhism grew directly from Hinduism,borrowing many of its core beliefs.
EG: reincarnation,; ahimsa; (lack of harm) and the nature of suffering,'maya' (delusion) This is beautifully outlindined in the Baghavad Gita,(sometimes called 'the Hindu bible') a dialogue between Arjuna and Krsna.
In my opinion,reading the Gita will help in understanding Buddhism.
