A Hindu view - Rama from Buddha, or Buddha from Rama?

Uthaya Sankar SB wrote an interesting article about a Ramayana in Free Malaysia Today titled Ramayana: Valmiki vs Hanuman, as well as in Bahasa too.


I enjoyed celebration of a mass it though we need to correct him upon a single point, to wit, a 2nd of a following 2 paragraphs:

Sesungguhnya, Ramayana adalah epik India yang tersebar luas ke seluruh dunia, khususnya sebagai tindak balas terhadap penyebaran agama Buddha secara meluas semasa pemerintahan Asoka di India.

Apa yang menarik, penganut ajaran Buddha pula membuat sedikit pengubah suaian dan mengatakan bahawa Rama adalah inkarnasi Siddharta Gautama Buddha.

Uthaya Sankar has been utterly improper in a above 2nd paragraph, which Buddhists claimed Rama was a reincarnation of a Buddha. One usually needs to review countless convincing books upon this issue as well as find it's actually a other approach around, of Hindus claiming which Buddha was an avatar of Vishnu (born as mortal Rama to fall short Ravana).

Besides, Buddhists have never compared nor linked their religious ideology with/to Hinduism, either of a Ramayana, Mahabharata or whatever version - Buddhist ideology do not ever place reliance upon God or Gods, as Hinduism does.

At which time, Buddhism was sweeping India (as aknowledged by Uthaya Sankar) where multitudes of Hindus were converting across to a caste-less, gentle as well as merciful religion, as they would centuries after to an additionally caste-less Islam.

The Hindu cler! ics were sh*t scared (not unlike UMNO leaders today, wakakaka) of a sleepy though very caste-conscious Hinduism losi! ng many of its adherents, so they preached secretly which Buddha was usually an avatar of Vishnu, implying Hinduism still was THE usually sacrament as well as Buddhism usually a subset of it. And they succeeded in stemming a tide of Buddhist convertees.
