So did Mozart never study music? He was not influenced by the music of his time?

Do not forget how radically different Gautama Buddha was from his contemporaries. Most people in that time lived according and believed in the principles of the Caste System, but Gautama said that all beings are equal.

And how about Jesus? He said no animal sacrifices were needed to please God. Who would dare say that back then? He preformed his miracles on the Sabbath and so on.

These two historical figures, as human as you and me, went against the norm of their time to convey their universal message, one of non-judgment, equality and love.
