“The teaching of Buddha can in no way be disassociated from the master current of ancient Indian thought. The dominant philosophy of ancient India was a spiritual idealism of a singularly pure and exalted type, which found its truest expression in those Vedic treatises known as the Upanishads. The great teacher is always a reformer as well as an innovator; and his work is, in part at least, an attempt to return to a high level which had been won and then lost…That he [Buddha] had been deeply influenced by the ideas of the ancient seers can scarcely be doubted…” (Edmond Holmes, The Creed of Buddha, 1908)
