{ Extract and Comments} begin

In this book there is a chapter on the Buddha in which there is a sub-section "The Teaching of Buddha" where it is stated "It is necessary, in the first place, to realize that though a
>reformer< ... the Buddha was brought up and lived and died as a Hindu." Then in the same chapter under the subsection "Perfectly Enlightend" it says ..."Then the Buddha himself proclaimed his victory in a song { He burst into a song like any happy Hindu to who music is God's own calling } of triamph:

Through many diverse births { again like a Hindu who believes in 'rebirth'-s..}
I have passed Seeking in vain the builder of the house {..but here unlike a Hindu
'House-holder' though quite like a Hindu 'Sanyasi' (which i believe means 'truth seeker') }

Ah, house-framer, now I have seen thee !
Never again shalt >thou< build >me< a house.

REMARK.begin: this is the crux of the teaching of < Sakyamuni Gowthama the Buddha >?[ ] . the bikkhus of the sangha formed under.. ..the express permission from 'Mother Kali' dedicate
themselves to the al.le.vi.a.tion of all human suffering even while the end is nowhere in sight !
end.REMARK;;;

I have broken thy rafters,
I have destroyed the king-post.
My mind is detached;
Desire is extinguished {this,i feel,is the significance of Nirvana}
."...{here if i may switch the context and pursue the theme of
being a > reformer < , i refer to The New Encyclopedia Britanica,Volume 15 MACROPEDIA 15TH EDITION (p 274)under the article "The Buddha and Buddhism" where it says... "As a social reformer,the Buddha condemned the cast system that was a long-established and respected institution in India and recognized the equality of man."

Remark-begin
...the sooner we get rid of the 'Caste System' the better for us... let us take the cue { dic_ cue n anything said or done , on or behind the stage , that is followed by a specific line or action ; anything that excites to action ; stimulus } from Dr.BabaSahibAmbhedkar and get rid of this stupid " Caste System " as a part of our.prayer.for.the.Buddha-Reestablishment.in.our.motherland;

...please...

i see 'caste system' is in our heads Q:how do you > < ,yes.dear-you, get rid of something
in our heads ? get rid of it we must ; how i don't know. may we begin by praying ...

end-Remark

Re: adding comments;;;

Remark: don't get confused by the repeated "Re: entries ..." ::: i don't think they matter !!!

Buddha Reestablishment

Yes, we should get rid cast systems from our minds, but possible?

Rem : thanks ;

regarding the dreadful cast system right now i am only able to see it is calling for our prayers for its demise { dic_ demise n eventual failure (of something successful) formal death } from the bowels of our own minds ; it is not yet clear to me what specific actions we may engage in to hasten its demise ; please share with us all what steps may occur to you ; thanks again ; what we can do however , is not to have anything to do with it in our own individual lives ; thanks for the response ;
