Mysuru, Mar. 22, 2021 (www.justkannada.in): “If Buddha’s Panchasheela principles would have been followed, there wouldn’t have been the need of having courts and police stations at all,” opined litterateur Dr. Moodnakadu Chinnaswamy.
He inaugurated a three-day national seminar on the topic, ‘Social and Philosophical Concerns of Buddhism,’ organized jointly by the Department of Philosophical Research, University of Mysore, and the International Buddhist Monks Charitable Trust, in Mysuru today.
In his address, he opined, “Atma (soul) is false, there is nothing called the Atma, Brahma, caste. Those who refused war became Buddhists. A few people say that all that has been preached by Buddha exists in the Upanishad. But the Upanishad consists Atma, Paramatma concept. Therefore, it is wrong to say that everything that Buddha has told exists in the Upanishad.
