[MD] Regarding The Fundamental Nature of The Intellectual

[Ron Kulp]

Greetings,

This all seems overly complicated.  Buddha was speaking about the
problem 
with the concept of a separate, independent self (I) and duality 250
BCE.

Hello Marsha,
Alexanders lived from 356 BC -323 BC, 
"Alexander's conquests also had long term cultural effects, with the
flourishing of Hellenistic civilization throughout the Middle East and
Central Asia, and the development of Greco-Buddhist art in the Indian
subcontinent. Alexander and his successors were tolerant of non-Greek
religious practices, and interesting syncretisms developed in the new
Greek towns he founded in Central Asia. The first realistic portrayals
of the Buddha appeared at this time; they are reminiscent of Greek
statues of Apollo. Several Buddhist traditions may have been influenced
by the ancient Greek religion; the concept of Boddhisatvas is
reminiscent of Greek divine heroes,[27] and some Mahayana ceremonial
practices (burning incense, gifts of flowers and food placed on altars)
are similar to those practiced by the ancient Greeks. Zen Buddhism draws
in part on the ideas of Greek stoics, such as Zeno.[28]" -Wiki
