There's probably texts from other faiths in the tripitaka of taisho as well?
Quoting: Alien Seb Fiend As noted there are two that seem to be from two Indian philosophical schools or perhaps ancient religions I'm not familiar with, and a some Manichean writing too. Of course, the extent to which "Orthodox Buddhism" itself has been influenced by other religions is open for debate. It's often a prickly debate. There are some who see a lot of Zoroastrian influence in some strains of Pure Land thought; it's hard for me to say one way or the other. Quoting: Ordovician This is truly fascinating! Can you tell me about when Buddha became ill suddenly after he ate a special delicacy, Sukaramaddava, literally translated as "soft pork", which had been prepared by his generous host, Cunda Kammaraputta. Cunda Kammaraputta was of a caste that performed what? Skuaramaddava could also refer to other meat?
