Buddhism is the doctrine of kali yuga,created by asura demons against Godess
“When the people of Aryavarta gave up the study of the Vediclore which alone enables one to discriminate between right and wrong, ignorance spread over the land and many sects sprang up, the Jain religion, whose teachings are opposed to science, took root in the country…” By Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Satyarth Prakash, Ch 12, p.499, Tr. Chiranjiva Bhardwaja
Both Jainism and Hinduism recognises Rishabhdeva or Rishabhnatha as Tirthankara (first teacher). But Hinduism doesn’t believe Tirthankara to be a Jain or as founder of Jainism. Hindu scriptures says that Rishabhdeva was a Hindu god and avatar.
Linga Purana I.24.43-47 says that Shiva will incarnate as Rsabha
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.13 Says that Rishabhdeva was the eight incarnation of Vishnu
Swami Prabhupada writes: “…Jains refer to Lord Ṛṣabhadeva as their original preceptor. If such people are serious followers of Ṛṣabhadeva, they must also take His instructions…” On Srimad Bhagvatam 5.6.12 http://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_5.6.12
He means to say that Jains don’t follow what Rishabhdeva preached. There are different versions about the founder of Jainism in Hindu scriptures. Some Hindu scripture says that a King named Arhat was the founder some say Jina was the founder, some say Brihaspati in Shukracharya’s guise founded Jainism, and some say Vishnu created an illusory form namely Arhat to delude people. Jains are referred in Hindu scriptures as Arhat, Jina, Jaina and also Jain. A story from Padma Purana alone is enough to give the image of how Jainism is viewed in Hinduism. Let me present the verses first and then I will give the summary,
Padma Purana II.37.4-11 [Suta said] I shall tell (you) all the sinful conduct of Vena. When he a noble king knowing righteousness was ruling, a man, having put on a guise, naked, of a huge body, with his head clean-shaved, of a great lustre, holding under his armpit a broom of peacock’s feathers, and a drinking-pot made of cocoa-nut in his hand reciting (texts containing) wrong doctrines, vilifying the Vedic religion, came (there). He quickly came to (the place) where Vena was (seated). The sinner entered the court of that Vena. Seeing him having arrived (there) Vena asked him a question: ‘Who are you, taking up such a form…What is your faith? Tell me (all this). What is your Veda (i.e. which Veda do you follow)? What are your practices…What are the real characteristics of your faith? Tell me all that and the truth before me.” Tr. N.A. Deshpande
Purana II.37.12a-21 “Hearing those words of Vena the sinful man said these words. The sinful man said: In vain you are ruling. You are a great fool, there is no doubt about it. I am all-in-all of Dharma (i.e. religious practices). I am most adored by gods. I am knowledge…I am Dharma (i.e. religious practices)…Know me to be the chief Jaina saint, having body of true religion. The meditating sages, intent on (obtaining) knowledge, run to me only. Vena said: What kind of acts (do you do)? What is your doctrine? What are your practices? Tell (all this to me). The sinful man said: (That is my faith) where Arhats are the gods, and Nirgrantha is looked upon as the preceptor…The best worship is that of a Jaina mendicant, and the best meditation is that of an Arhat. This way of life is seen in the Jaina faith. I have told you all this i.e. the characteristics of my faith….” Tr. N.A. Deshpande
King Vena was surprised looking at this Jain saint so he asked him about his faith and practises. The Jain saint also criticizes the animal slaughter sanctioned by the Vedas. I have not added those verses here as it would’ve made the passage very long, I tried to make it as short as possible, we shall read it in Meat consumption in Hinduism article. So the Jain saint explains his beliefs and also criticizes the Vedic religion. Now read how Jain religion is viewed by Hindu sages who addressed king Vena in the following way,
Padma Purana II.38.25-30 “When Kali (yuga) sets in, all men, deluded by sins, will act after having resorted to the Jaina faith. Men will abandon Vedic practices, and will commit sins. There is no doubt that the Jaina faith is the root of sin. O best king, the fall of those men, who are heaps of sins, brought about by this great delusion. Govinda (i.e. Visnu), destroyer of all sins, will be (appearing) for their destruction and for nothing else. Taking the form of his liking he will restrain (them) from sins. When sins will have thus accumulated, he, the god will be (appearing) as Kalki for the destruction of the Mlecchas; there is no doubt about it. Give up the behavior of (i.e. proper for) Kali (yuga) and resort to merit. Heave truthfully; become the guardian of your subjects.” Tr. N.A. Deshpande
On being advised by the Jain saint, King Vena embraces Jainism,
Padma Purana II.38.1-5a “Suta said: Vena, thus advised by that very sinful Jina, and deluded by him, attained to a sinful attitude. Abandoning the Vedic faith and rites of a truthful conduct, he saluted the feet of that very wicked one. There was cessation of good sacrifices, and also of that Vedas. Religious practices full of holy scriptures (i.e. as told in the holy scriptures) did not proceed at that time. As a result of (bad) rule, the world became full of all sins. When that king ruled, there were no sacrifices, no (recitation of) the Vedas, no excellent purport of the holy texts, no charity and no study, O brahmanas.” Tr. N.A. Deshpande
So King Vena was a righteous and noble king but as soon as he embraced Jainism he started ruling badly. This shows that whoever is against Hinduism (or non-Hindu) is demonized in Hindu scriptures. The verse also says that deluded by sins people will resort to Jainism. And have you noticed how the Jain saint is addressed here? He is addressed in these verses as ‘the wicked one’ and ‘the sinful man’. It means whoever is not a Arya cannot be righteous, all non-Hindus are wicked and sinful. King Vena is mentioned in other scriptures also but they don’t mention that he had embraced Jainism. And he has also been demonized in those scriptures as a bad ruler probably because he left the Vedic religion and embraced Jainism.
Also read Srimad Bhagavatam 4.14.30-35 in which Brahmins kills King Vena for blaspheming Vishnu. Bhagavad Purana insults Jainism in the following way,
Bhagavatam 5.6.9 “Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued speaking to Mahārāja Parīkṣit: My dear King, the King of Koṅka, Veṅka and Kuṭaka whose name was Arhat, heard of the activities of Ṛṣabhadeva and, imitating Ṛṣabhadeva’s principles, introduced a new system of religion. Taking advantage of Kali-yuga, the age of sinful activity, King Arhat, being bewildered, gave up the Vedic principles, which are free from risk, and concocted a new system of religion opposed to the Vedas. That was the beginning of the Jain dharma. Many other so-called religions followed this atheistic system.” Tr. Swami Prabhupada
Purana 3.18 PARÁŚARA.–After this, the great delusion, having proceeded to earth, beheld the Daityas engaged in ascetic penances upon the banks of the Narmadá river ; and approaching them in the semblance of a naked mendicant, with his head shaven, and carrying a bunch of peacock’s feathers…By such persuasions, and by many specious arguments, did this delusive being mislead the Daityas from the tenets of the Vedas…might be the duty of those who go naked, or who go clothed in much raiment: and so the Daityas were seduced from their proper duties by the repeated lessons of their illusory preceptor, maintaining the equal truth of contradictory tenets; and they were called Arhatas, from the phrase he had employed of “Ye are worthy (Arhatha) of this great doctrine;” that is, of the false doctrines which he persuaded them to embrace. The foes of the gods being thus induced to apostatize from the religion of the Vedas, by the delusive person sent by Vishńu, became in their turn teachers of the same heresies, and perverted others; and these, again, communicating their principles to others, by whom they were still further disseminated, the Vedas were in a short time deserted by most of the Daitya race…In this manner, exclaiming to them, “Know!” (Budhyadwam), and they replying, “It is known” (Budhyate), these Daityas were induced by the arch deceiver to deviate from their religious duties (and become Bauddhas)…The delusions of the false teacher paused not with the conversion of the Daityas to the Jaina and Bauddha heresies, but with various erroneous tenets he prevailed upon others to apostatize, until the whole were led astray, and deserted the doctrines and observances inculcated by the three Vedas. Some then spake evil of the sacred books; some blasphemed the gods; some treated sacrifices and other devotional ceremonies with scorn; and others calumniated the Brahmans…”The precepts,” they cried, “that lead to the injury of animal life (as in sacrifices) are highly reprehensible…If an animal slaughtered in religious worship is thereby raised to heaven, would it not be expedient for a man who institutes a sacrifice to kill his own father for a victim?…Let not a man associate, in residence, sitting, or society, with him whose person or whose house has been blasted by the sighs of the gods, progenitors, and spirits. Conversation, interchange of civilities, or association with a man who for a twelvemonth has not discharged his religious duties, is productive of equality of guilt; and the person who eats in the house of such a man, or sits down with him, or sleeps on the same couch with him, becomes like him instantaneously… These, Maitreya, are the persons called naked, the meaning of which term you desired to have explained. Their very looks vitiate the performance of an ancestral oblation; speaking to then destroys religious merit for a whole day. These are the unrighteous heretics to whom a man must not give shelter, and speaking to whom effaces whatever merit he may that day have obtained.
Skanda Purana also says that demons embraced Buddhism,
Skanda Purana VII.I.119.46-50 “…the Daitya warriors became furious. They rushed thereat roaring like rumbling clouds. When they were killed, they shouted ‘Ha! Ha!’ some of the Asuras entered the sea. A few Danavas went over the mountains. Some of them had tonsured their heads and they stayed within forests as rogues. Some of them adopted the Vrata of the Nirgranthas (nude sages or Digambara Jainas) and preached sermons on the pious activities of merciful nature. Some of them became afraid of (the goddess) for their lives. They resorted to the life of heretics. They were fools engaged in arguments and disputations about basic or original causes. They had no cleanliness and they did not crave for anything. They are indeed seen even today in the world of Ksapanakas (Buddhist monks). Others are Bhindakas excluded from the scriptures of Saiva cult.” Tr. G.V. Tagare
Story in Devi Bhagavatam says that Brihaspati deceived the demons by assuming the form of Sukracharya and preached Jain religion to them and the demons rejected the real Sukracharya who later cursed the demons for not recognizing him, thus the motive of Brihaspati was accomplished as the demons were cursed and could be easily defeated by Indra, so Brihaspati went to Indra and informed him about this. It shows that demons were the first to embrace Jainism.
Devi Bhagavatam 4.13.44-58 “Vyâsa said:– Please hear what the disguised Brihaspatî in the shape of S’ukrâchârya did afterwards. The demons were made to understand clearly by Brihaspatî; and then they took him for S’ukrâchârya and placed implicit faith on him and began to think of him and him alone. The Daityas, enchanted and deceived by the magic of Brihaspatî, took now his refuge for acquiring the knowledge from him, since they mistook him for S’ukrâchârya. Who is there that is not enchanted by the idea of gaining something? On the other hand, when the term of ten years was over, S’ukrâchârya, the real Guru of the Daityas, ceased enjoying Jayantî and began to remember his disciples, the Daityas. He now began to think that “My disciples, the Daityas, are expecting every instant my return; and I would now go and see them, bewildered with fear. They are my devotees and I ought to do such that they might not be afraid of the Devas.” And then he exclaimed to Jayantî, “O beautiful one! Let my sons take the shelter of the Gods; your term of ten years is today over; I now go therefore, to see my disciples; soon I will again come to you.” “Be it so”, replied Jayantî, the best of those who know religion, “you can go where you like; I am not to destroy your Dharma.” Hearing these words, S’ukrâchârya went hurriedly to the Demons and saw the Devaguru Brihaspatî sitting before them in the guise of S’ukrâchârya. He was explaining to them the Jaina doctrines, compiled by himself and finding fault with the act of envy, taking revenge and killing and cursing the sacrifices, etc. He was telling them “O Enemies of Gods! Truly, I am telling you words that will, no doubt, prove good to you. Non-killing is the highest virtue; even the enemies ought never to be killed. It is the Brâhmanas, addicted to enjoyments and pleasures of the senses, who want to satisfy their tastes and pleasures that are found in the Veda’s injunctions to kill animals; but there is no virtue higher than non-killing animals.” O king! S’ukrâchârya was perfectly astonished to hear Brihaspatî, the Guru of the Devas, speaking against the Vedas and began to think that Brihaspatî is certainly my enemy. My disciples have been duped by this cheat; there is no doubt in this.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda
Devi Bhagavatam 4.13.59-62 “Fie to Avarice! It is the seed of sin; very strong and the veritable gate to hell; Brihaspatî, even, the Guru of the Devas, is speaking lies, bound under the influence of this heinous avarice! Oh! What wonder is this that the Guru of the Devas, who is the promulgator of all the religious S’âstras and whose word is accepted as the final decision, is now expounding the doctrines of atheists. When Brihaspatî can become the expounder of atheistic doctrines, impelled by covetousness what to speak of those whose minds are not pure and whose intelligence is not sharp? This Deva Guru, though a Brâhmin, is acting today like a rogue, wanting to take away all and is deceiving my disciples the Daityas, who have been confounded by his magic.” Tr. Swami Vijnananda
Sukracarya also created islam and the islamic doctrine.all of these doctrines are anti-woman,anti-desire,anti-existance,inversion .
buddhism is opposite of dharma.anatta,nibbana,pratityasamutpada and sunyata are evil and false.
