Dislikes
- excessive contempt for the veda-s (some bauddha-s, sIkhs, jaina-s)
- excessive non-violent tendencies, or focus on asceticism (jaina-s, pAtanjala-yogins)
- crass materialism (characteristic of some chArvAkas/ lOkAyatas), which mirrors modern reactionary atheism
Likes
- Rich artistic rituals
- Eg- Agama-s, tAntrika bauddha-s.
- Emphasis on compassion.
- Eg- jaina-s, bauddha-s
- Aesthetic emphasis
- Artistic folks tend to admire the AlankArika-s (aestheticians); who reveled in poetry and the arts; and attempted to understand and articulate life as an aesthetic experience.
