Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

112. Buddhism: Yogachara | Swami Tattwamayananda
Q: What impact did Shankaracharya have on the status of the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahma Sutras?
Shankaracharya was the first to categorize these three texts as the triple foundations of Vedanta philosophy, distinguishing them from the broader Vedic literature that predominantly focused on rituals.
112. Buddhism: Yogachara | Swami Tattwamayananda
Q: Could you explain the distinction between the Mimamsa system and Advaita from the perspective of Madhusudana Saraswati?
The Mimamsa system focuses on rituals as core to spirituality, whereas Advaita emphasizes the non-duality and universal aspects of spiritual philosophy, allowing for broader interpretations beyond mere ritual performance.
111. Buddhism: Yogachara | Swami Tattwamayananda
Q: Was Kapila's system very well-developed or just too esoteric for Vedantans to pursue instead of Buddhism?
Kapila's Sankhya system did not have a dedicated following like Vedanta and was more theoretical, which may have contributed to its lesser prominence compared to Buddhism and Vedanta.
111. Buddhism: Yogachara | Swami Tattwamayananda
Q: Why would the Vedanta scholars pursue Buddhism? Why would they leave Vedanta when it is such an advanced system?
Many scholars pursued Buddhism as a response to the social injustices and rigid caste structures they observed in their society, viewing Buddhism as a more egalitarian alternative.
110. Buddhism: Yogachara | Swami Tattwamayananda
Q: When there's an appreciation of Anatta, when that is discovered, would Apamāda somewhat naturally follow?
When you realize Anatta, it naturally reduces greed as you understand the impermanent nature of what you desire.
