Could Buddhism really comptete Marxism in its material tendency? This would be
the point of focus of this piece of research through a comparative study between Buddhism
and Marxism in the light of the viewpoint of each of them toward materialism an
d such
relevant issues as the cosmos, God, religion, consciousness, dialectics….etc. therefore, we
shall endeavor basically to prove that Buddhism was not---- as is believed ---- a
philosophical spiritual school, quite contrastively, it was a realistically dynamic
materialistic school. If we could strike this point, Buddhism would be in the same domain
as Marxism. This is so if we did not consider them two cumulative school. Needless to say
that a few discrepancies whether relating to methodological or to the change of the spaciotemporal
or social change have been closely scrutinized.
