Ask the Rabbi
Question
Accepting faithfully that the whole Truth is found in the Torah, does Buddhas insight, for example, serve as one of mutliple universal instruments for Truth discovery?
Answer
No, for Budhism is considered by Judaism as idolatry. On the other hand, if a Budhist comes up with ultimately and empiricly true ideas, that are not dependent upon his religion, of course they can be accepted.
