India’s Two Great Philosophies: Vedanta vs Buddhism

Описание: Indian philosophy was never just abstract thinking.
It was a deep inquiry into life itself.

At the heart of this inquiry arose one timeless question:
“Who am I?”

From this question emerged two of the most powerful philosophical traditions in Indian history — Vedanta and Buddhism — standing face to face with radically different answers.

One tradition declared:
The Self (Atman) is eternal, indestructible, and absolute.

The other challenged this very foundation, arguing:
There is no permanent self — what we call “I” is only a temporary process.

In this video, we explore the profound intellectual conflict between Vedanta philosophy and Buddhist philosophy, drawing directly from original scriptures such as the Upanishads, Nikayas, Dhammapada, and Milind Panha.

We examine:

The Vedantic idea of an eternal soul and liberation through self-knowledge

The Buddhist doctrine of Anatta (non-self) and freedom through letting go

Their opposing views on suffering, ego, God, karma, and rebirth

How this philosophical tension shaped India’s traditions of debate, dialogue, and spiritual inquiry

This is not just a comparison of ideas - it is a journey into the deepest questions of human existence.

Because perhaps India’s greatness lies not in choosing one truth,
but in allowing multiple paths to search for freedom from suffering.
