Weber, Edmund2019-09-252019-09-252013-07-1519971434-5935http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/191120This article is about how Swami Vivekananda tried to restore Hindu identity in a positive sense against the derogatory appellation as used by foreigners and oppressors particularly in the light of the growing spirit of Buddhism as a separate religion in the modern age. Here, Vivekananda's conception that modern Buddhists have moved away from the original teachings of Buddha has been emphasized. This results in the need for a reconciliation between Buddhism and Hinduism as "Hinduism cannot live without Buddhism, nor Buddhism without Hinduism".gerWith permission of the license/copyright holderHindu ethicsBuddhismhinduismReligious ethicsComparative religious ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsEthnicity and ethicsComparative religion and interreligious dialogueFounders, leaders of religionsGeneral theology/otherArticle
