RE: Lineage and Caste in Early Buddhism
There are some controversial words in my article that are translated differently depending on who is translating like gotta/gotra...hehehe
When I talk about caste it is in refrence to Buddha going aganst his cultures view that only certain families and high caste in India could attain enlightenment. Buddha said anyone can find freedom but of course they have to let go of their material lineage, caste, world view and join the spiritual family, clan, and let go of all views.
