Nothing in these link suggest that Buddhist "thought" was influenced by the Greeks. The other way around seems to be true. If you really want to know the roots of Buddhism and how they were influenced during the time of the Buddha it is better you read up on some Hinduism and the pagan culture that existed then in the whole of India rather than saying how Buddhism was influenced by greeks or moghuls or for that matter.
And yes some of the links lie from Greece about the origin of sculptures. specifically 4 legged chariots in indian art are attributed to the greeks..which is totally incorrect. Also, the source of Mahayana buddhism as the northern part of India is debatable. -Sharath On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 4:18 PM, X Acto<[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Sharath, > > I suppose these links lie too. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Buddhism > > http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/LX/GrecoBuddhistArt.html > > > http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/LX/GrecoBuddhism.html > > http://www.neosalexandria.org/greco_buddhism.htm > > http://schools-wikipedia.org/wp/g/Greco-Buddhism.htm > > http://academickids.com/encyclopedia/index.php/Greco-Buddhism > > http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Greco-Buddhism > > http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/history/hellenistic.htm > > > > > if they do, I'd like to know to correct my way of thinking. > > are they untrue? > > > -Ron > > > > Moq_Discuss mailing list > Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. > http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org > Archives: > http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ > http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/ > -- --Sharath ============================== Ping-pong & life are similar - both a quest for perfection. ============================== Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
