Lord Buddha and Buddhism seen through the eyes of Rabindranath

Summary/Abstract: Lord Buddha and Rabindranath Tagore are the cultural icons of India. Tagore had great respect and admiration for Buddha. Though Buddhist philosophy is generally believed to be anti-Vedic, but in Tagore’s observation, the teachings of Buddha and the Upanisads speak of the same truth. This he tried to justify with the notion of Brahmavihāra and from that stand-point he tried to look at the doctrines of Four Noble Truths and Nirvāna in a new way.
