Thank you for protecting such artifacts of Buddha. India sadly has lost touch of its Buddhist past, meanwhile world seems to be fascinated by Buddha and his teachings
Just a clarification - the Buddha's main message was NOT 'Compassion to all living beings' ...The main message was/is to see the reality of the world and there by be free of the delusion and discontent we live in.
The Buddha's main teaching was the 4 Noble Truths, with the goal for each student to end otherwise endless rebirths in Samsara and therefore totally end suffering☸️🙏
They buddah story is fictional, or it's in a much much later date than 2000 years ago, BECAUSE a cave was excavated in China and it was dated to be somewhere around 5 to 15 thousand old and inside the cave there's a buddah statue in it.
@@cyrusspitama It's called LONGYOU CAVES. and also look into the ELLORA caves in INDIA, there's NO WAY humans with hammers and chisels were able to carve these caves 5 to 2000 years ago. HISTORY is a lie.
Love the exhibit, hate the video. It just flashes one image after the other so fast that there is no time for us to appreciate the beauty of what is actually being shown.
Interesting...Trapusa and Bahalika, the merchants to whom the Buddha gave the "hair relics" were from "Ukkalapada, Utkal or modern state of Orissa" (wikipedia/vamsa-s) - and also from Pushkalavati/Peshawar? Bahalika could well be someone from Balkh... From Myanmar also, I guess... But what a great mini-documentary... 🙃😇🙏
@@StreetDogTreatmentBali Tapussa and Bhallika were two merchants brothers from the city of Pakamarvarti in the kingdom of Okkalpa in modern lower Burma in the region of Rangoon. Their is archaeology proofs to it. They and the king okkalpa built the Shwedagon stupa.
@@tiptop7327 That is not a valid reference. A valid reference is giving the name of the Sutta and where it is located in the Pali Canon i.e. MN# ###Sutta. That is a valid Sutta reference. What you said is not that. It is considered standard practice to reference your sources
How did they not mention that it was Hellenistic influence that resulted in Buddha being depicted in statue and images for the first time in India. Before then, it was only symbols of Buddha. The same is true for Christianity.
adding captions in other languages would enable ppl who are not fluent in English to be exposed to your content. It's so easy nowadays that's it's odd that such a leading institue would fail to do so.
That is very questionable to say the Buddha first taught using relics. That is nowhere supported in authentic early Buddhist texts. The Dhammacakkhapavattana Sutta was his first teaching I believe, a clear discourse on the 4 Noble Truths. Lovely video tho❤️☸️🙏
There were no Brahmins during the Buddha and there was no caste system during the #Buddha. Kindly go through the latest research and archeological proofs. Brahmins came to #India in the 7th Cen AD.
Even after seeing the exhibit, I keep coming back to this video to recapture the sense of wonder.

That should be referenced with the appropriate Sutta. Not sure that is an accurate record of the Buddha's teaching according to the Suttas

@@StreetDogTreatmentBali in the sutra it doesn't tell the exact location tho. But I am 99 percent sure it is in Yangoon, Myanmar.

So….are these artifacts on loan from India?
Yes
Many are, but I recognize at least one representation of a yaksha (male nature spirit, seen at 1:38) that belongs to the Met's permanent collection.
From the Subcontinent, not from India but from the Union of India, union of independent nations.
There were no Brahmins during the Buddha and there was no caste system during the #Buddha. Kindly go through the latest research and archeological proofs.
Brahmins came to #India in the 7th Cen AD.
Nice documentary but needs one correction. Siddhartha was born in Lumbini, Nepal.
They literally say that in the video around 7:40
He wasnt born in Nepal, he was born in the Shakya Republic

Just make excellent video exhibitions (like this) instead of spending a fortune on physically flying stuff across thousands of kilometers.
Alot of the noses and lips are broken off, just like the Egyptian statues.
Hmmm wonder why ??!

Not a talisman?
Today's so called "lower" castes in India are Nagvanshi Buddhist.
did they even mention nepal ????????????
Lumbini, the birthplace of the historical Buddha, located in present-day Nepal, is mentioned at 7:41.
@@barrymoore4470 thank you
@@It-sMyOpinion You're very welcome!
Thats not important. Whats important is does Nepal follow Buddhas teaching ? Or some mythical gods?
