| | | | Buddhism - Headline text: Encyclopedia II - Buddhism - Buddhism and the West Occasional intersections between Western civilization and the Buddhist world have been occurring for thousands of years. Perhaps the most significant of these began in 334 BCE, early in the history of Buddhism, when the Macedonian king Alexander the Great conquered most of Central Asia. The Seleucids and the successive Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek kingdoms established an important Hellenistic influence in the area, which interacted with Buddhism. The conversion to Buddhism of the Indo-Greek king Menander (155-130 BCE) is described in Indian sources (the Mili ...

| | | | Buddhism - Headline text: Encyclopedia II - Buddhism - What is a Buddha? The term "Buddha" is a word in ancient Indian languages including Pāli and Sanskrit which means "one who has awakened".

| | | | Buddhism - Headline text: Encyclopedia II - Buddhism - Relations with other Eastern faiths Some Hindus (primarily in the northern regions of India) believe that Gautama is the 9th incarnation (see avatar) of Vishnu; there are accounts of the Buddha as an incarnation of Vishnu that are pro- and anti-Buddhist (i.e., either that Vishnu "really meant" what he said while incarnated as Buddha or that he was intentionally tricking those who follow unorthodox doctrines). This is not a majority view, however. The avatar ...
