Buddha: His Life, his Doctrine, his Order c8.s1.t4.10

c8.s1.t4.10

The classical expression of the views of the old Buddhist Buddha's wanderings arises not only from their remoteness, but also in a not less degrees from the more powerful position which the Brahmans occupied there, in the old home of the Vedic faith. When the law of Manu (9, 225) gives authority for expelling all heretical people from the state, there is in this a claim of Brahmanism which a code framed in the east could scarcely have dared to advance.
