Buddhism in China - Arrival along the Silk Road.
The arrival of Buddhism in China followed the first contacts between China and Central Asia which occurred with the opening of the Silk Road in the 2nd century BCE. Chinese murals in the Tarim Basin city of Dunhuang describe the Emperor Han Wudi (156-87 BCE) worshipping Buddhist statues, "golden men brought in 120 BCE by a great Han general in his campaigns against the nomads". However, there is no such mention of ...

Ashvakas - Buddhist Texts evidence.
Aruppa-Niddesa of Visuddhimagga by Buddhaghosa describes the Kamboja land as the base of horses (10/28).
Buddhist texts like Manorathapurni, Kunala Jataka and Samangalavilasini speak of Kamboja land as the land of horses e.g:

| | | | | Buddhist Texts: Encyclopedia II - Uttarakuru - Puranas and Uttarakuru In later literature like Puranas, the Uttarakurus are sometimes described as mythical people and at other times their description seems indeed to belong to real world.
Puranic cosmography divides our earth into seven concentric islands, viz. Jambudvipa, Plakasadvipa, Salmalidvipa, Kushadvipa, Krounchadvipa, Shakadvipa, and Pushkaradvipa, separated by the seven encircling seas. Insular continent Jambudvipa forms the innermost concentric island in the above scheme of continents. Jambudvipa includes nine varsa and nine mountains. Varsa o ...

| | | | | Buddhist Texts: Encyclopedia II - Uttarakuru - Mahabharata and Uttarakuru Mahabharata sometimes figures the Uttarakuru as a fairy land. It is stated to be the ultimate abode of the blessed souls. The souls of the blessed ones and the Kshatriyas go to Uttarakuru after death (MBH 9/5/36-37; MBH 13/54).
Adiparva of Mahabharata refers to a practice of free love among the women of Uttarakuru, like the one followed by birds and the beasts, and is not regarded sinful as it is stated to have the approval of the rishis and the sanction of antiquity (I.122.1-10) .
At other times, the epic describes the Uttarakurus as real entit ...

| | | | | Buddhist Texts: Encyclopedia II - Advaita Vedanta - Adi Sankara's thoughts in a summary Adi Sankara's treatises on the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras are his principal and almost undeniably his own works. Although he mostly adhered to traditional means of commenting on the Brahma Sutra, there are a number of original ideas and arguments. He taught that it was only through knowledge and wisdom of nonduality that one could be enlightened.
Sankara's opponents accused him of teaching Buddhism in the garb of Hinduism, because his non-dualistic ideals were a bit radical to contemporary Hindu philosophy. Ho ...

| | | | | Buddhist Texts: Encyclopedia II - Advaita Vedanta - Advaita and Science According to some followers of Advaita, it may very well be a place where the scientific world intersects with the spiritual world. They point to the relationships between mass, frequency, and energy that 20th century physics has established and the Advaitic 'Unity of the Universe' as the common ground. They feel that these relationships, formalized as equations by Planck and Einstein, suggest that the whole mesh of the Universe blend into a One that exhibits itself as many (namely, mass, energy, wave etc), and that this follows Advaita's vi ...

| | | | | Buddhist Texts: Encyclopedia II - Advaita Vedanta - Adi Sankara: The Pillar of Advaita The first person to consolidate the principles of Advaita was Adi Sankara (आदि शंकर, pronounced as /α:di shənkərə, 788-820 CE, i.e., 788-820 AD). He is also known as Śankarāchārya (शंकराचार्य, pronounced as /shənkərα:chα:ryə/). Continuing the line of thought of some of the Upanishadic teachers, and also that of his own teacher's teacher Gaudapada, (Ajativada).

Advaita Vedanta - Status of the world.
People often get confused by Advaita teachings that the universe is false. Shankara says that the world is not true, it is an illusion, but this is because of some logical reasons. Let us first analyse Shankara's definition of Truth, and hence why the world is not considered true.
Shankara says that whatever thing remains eternal is true, and whatever is non-eternal is untrue. Since the world is created and destroyed, is is not true.
Truth is the thing ...

| | | | | Buddhist Texts: Encyclopedia II - Ashvakas - More opinions from scholars Sir Thomas H. Holdich, in the his classic book, The Gates of India, writes that the Aspasians (Aspasios) represent the modern Kafirs (The Gates of India, p 102-03). But the modern Kafirs, especially the Siah-Posh Kafirs (Kamoz/Camoje, Kamtoz) etc are considered to be modern representatives of the ancient Kambojas [1], this shows that the Aspasios (Aspas), who were the western branch of the Assakenois (Ashvakas) of classical writings, represented a section of the Sanskrit Kambojas.
