[Advaita-l] Buddha confirmed to preexisting social norms of the Vedic society of his time

[Kalyan]

If you find the articles are well written, I would say only one thing. Please go and read the original scriptures of Buddhism. You can start from the references I cited earlier -

 I wonder if you have read the article and the sources from
 which it quotes.
 
 I read the article and found it to
 be quite well written. In fact there are many such articles,
 for example:  http://www.vijayvaani.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=2717 
   on Srilankan Buddhist caste.  Here is another one:  http://web.uni-frankfurt.de/irenik/relkultur50.pdf
 One may or may not agree with
 various writers. But the common point one comes across is
 that there was a good presence of the caste factor in early
 Buddhism as Buddha's words themselves are cited. Again,
 one may debate on the authenticity, etc. of texts. That is a
 topic common to many systems.
