Today I found a post on my facebook . It was a picture of a great Buddhist monk ATISH DIPANKAR. There was a discussation below where Hinduism was tagged as sorbograsi (the one who eats up all others).Hinduism was considered responsible for the fed out of Buddhism. It was said that the Hindus very cleverly projected lord Buddha (on the walls of the Puri’s jagannath temple)narayan and so Buddhism lost its identity and in a path of fed out.
I think Hinduism is one of the oldest religion on the earth, and very surprisingly it has a tremendous tolerance for other religions. Buddhism is comparatively a new religion and Lord Buddha was a Hindu by birth. So we may say that Buddhism took birth from the womb of Hinduism like the sheiks, and so if Buddha is mentioned as lord narayana then it is of no harm. At least I think in this way.
I remember that sloke of Geeta "yada yada hi dharmasa glanir bhabati bharta abhuthyanam adharmasya tdatmanam srijammaham. pritranaya sadhu na vinasayacha duskritam dharma sansthaparthaya sambhabhami yuge yuge".According to this sloke lord narayan promised to take birth on the world when ever there will be activities against the good spirites of the world. As we all know every thing in this world is energy, spirits. Positive energy & negative energy. And if we go to the root we can see lord Buddha talked about this positive energy through out his life. Ahimsa is nothing but a positive thought, not having gorge for others, for justified or unjustified reason is nothing but being positive which is mentioned as dharma to Buddhist. so if lord Buddha left his Hinduism and showed the path of Buddhism that can be symbolized as this part of the sloke" dharma sansthapanarthaya sambhabhami yuge yuge." i mean rebirth of Buddha or what we say enlightenment of Buddha is quite similar to narayana's promise of sambhabhami (birth or taking avatar).
I feel there is no trick or chalaki of Hindus in identifying Buddha as narayana, it is a matter of pure faith to there lord’s promise. As Hinduism says faith is the only and sure way to god. Not only Hinduism I think every religion says the same thing. It is faith only which leads a sage to the enlightenment after long meditation. Mediation is nothing but having faith, when a person meditates what he starts with? I believe in u my lord, i believe in u and that gradually leads him to the super power which is again nothing but energy.
