The Buddha who is considered as an avathara of Sriman Narayana is NOT THE SAME AS the historical Buddha. In the Vishnu Purana, there is the description of the Buddha Avathara which was taken to teach a 'wrong doctrine' to the wives of the asuras. It is this Buddha that is referred to as an incarnation in texts. The historical Buddha who preached Buddhism is not an avathara. For those who have heard Annmacharyas Sankirtana "Dolayam" ....there is reference to 'Daaruna Buddha'... and by this the puranic Buddha is being identified.In other sankirtanas, he mentions of Vishnu having "incarnated to teach the wives of the asuras"...and again he is referring to the 'Purainc' Buddha. The doctrine preached by the historical Buddha is undoubtedly antivedic....called as 'Sunyavada' and has been elaborately rejected in the Sree Bhashya. Please correct me if i am wrong. _______________________________________________________ Too much spam in your inbox? Yahoo!
