A Hindu site by the name "Agniveer" has claimed that Buddha never rejected the Vedas. To substantiate their claim, they have quoted a few verses from the Sutta Nipata to show Buddha's respect for the Vedas: > In Sutta Nipat 192, Mahatma Buddha says that: > > Vidwa Cha Vedehi Samechcha Dhammam Na Uchchavacham Gachhati > Bhooripanjo. > > People allow sense-organs to dominate and keep shuffling between high > and low positions. But the scholar who understands Vedas understands > Dharma and does not waver. > > Sutta Nipat 503: > > Yo Vedagu Gyanarato Sateema ……. > > One should support a person who is master of Vedas, contemplative, > intelligent, helpful if you desire to inculcate similar traits. > > Sutta Nipat 1059: > > Yam Brahmanam Vedagum Abhijanjya Akinchanam Kamabhave Asattam…… > > One gets free from worldly pains if he is able to understand a Vedic > Scholar who has no wealth and free from attraction towards worldly > things. > > Sutta Nipat 1060: > > Vidwa Cha So Vedagu Naro Idha Bhavabhave Sangam Imam Visajja….. > > I state that one who understands the Vedas rejects attraction towards > the world and becomes free from sins. > > Sutta Nipat 846: > > Na Vedagu Diththia Na Mutiya Sa Manameti Nahi Tanmayoso…. > > One who knows Vedas does not acquire false ego. He is not affected by > hearsay and delusions. > > Sutta Nipat 458: > > Yadantagu Vedagu Yanjakaale Yassahuti Labhe Taras Ijjeti Broomi > > I state that one who acquires Ahuti in Havan of a Vedic scholar gets > success. > > Now people who post these on internet say that Gautam Buddha didn't > opposed Vedas he opposed the evil practices done in name of Vedas like > animal sacrifice, caste system Now, personally I have found many of the site's claims and quotations unreliable. However, I would still like to verify these verses so could anybody tell me if these quotations are true or fabricated?
