Talk:Brahmā (Buddhism)

Removed content

I removed the following content from the Brahmā Sahampati section; it was added by one user and to my knowledge actually refers to the Hindu Brahma. The part about the Four-faced Buddha deserves to be mentioned elsewhere, though. Paul_012 ^(talk) 09:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Brahmā Sahampati, described as having four heads, has become very popular among Thai Buddhists as a deity who brings prosperity to the people. His shrines can usually be virtually seen everywhere, such as the Erawan Shrine. Brahmā Sahampati has also gathered a following amongst Chinese Buddhists, who frequently misinform him as the Four-face Buddha (四面佛).

The beginning of the sentence, "The old Upanishads largely consider Brahman..." in the last section might have a typo; is it, "...Brahma..."? I don't know but it might add clarity if it is.

Tendentious

The sentence 'The Buddha confined himself to what is empirically given' is tendentious. This is part of the general effort to situate 'the Buddha' within the meta-narrative of naturalism and empiricism and can only be supported by a selective reading of the texts. Such a reading is directly contradicted by http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an04/an04.174.than.html
