Abstract
The lineage of Buddhism comes under two categories: hearing the Buddha’s teachings directly and writings of Indian Buddhist masters on epistemology, metaphysics and logic. According to the Tibetan traditions, the teachings of the Buddha are collected under the Sūtra and Tantra, comprising teachings on psychology, neuro-science and meditational teachings for controlling our negative feelings. Rabindranath Tagore was inspired by the teachings of Buddhism. He felt the moral values supporting the dignity of man and subscribed in one way or another to the Bodhisattva ideal.
