When Nalanda University was burned, most of the original Sanskrit scriptures were lost. However, because so many of these texts had already been translated into Tibetan, the knowledge was preserved. These Tibetan translations became crucial for the preservation of Indian Buddhist literature and philosophy. Now they are being retranslated back into Sanskrit, helping to recover knowledge that was nearly lost. 🙏🙏
I just discovered your channel today. Thank you for your videos. After fifty years as a Christian here in Canada, I discovered Buddhism, and visited Thailand for four months on one trip, and two months in Cambodia on a second trip. After much study, I went for Refuge in the Triple Gem, and accepted the Five Precepts… at a Theravada temple. I found my home….. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 ☸️ 🌴 🌴 🌴 🙂
Same here. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel every Buddhist should know what I have to say. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. I have just videographed Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana temple. She is regarded the great grandmother of that are just as Buddha is regarded as grandfather (Baba).
Worship is a big word to describe the relationship between Buddha and his followers. Buddha is a teacher that showed the path, therefore, someone to venerate, not someone to worship.
Followers is a better term than "worshipers". Religions use "worship" in the terms of a diety demanding something, Gautama buddha was just a teacher and demanded nothing from anyone.
This was very interesting. Some ideas for possible follow-up videos, since your thoughts make me curious what you might say: 1. What do you think about Vajrayana Buddhism? How would you characterize it in comparison to what you've said here? 2. What do you think about the Japanese tradition of Tendai Buddhism in comparison with what you have said here and in comparison with Vajrayana Buddhism? 3. Some Vajrayana monks sometimes eat meat, including the 14th Dalai Lama, although the practice is also strongly discouraged by some in this tradition, and some Vajrayana monks are vegetarian. This is also true of Tendai and some other Japanese traditions, possibly due to Tendai or Vajrayana (Shingon) influence. Why is this, and what are the reasons for their perspectives about eating meat like in comparison with the views of the Mahayana and the Theravada? 4. What do you think about what is called Navayana Buddhism as practiced by about 7.3 million people in India today? How would you characterize this movement in comparison to what you have said here? 5. What do you make of the tradition of Bon practiced in Tibet and Bhutan? Practitioners of Bon claim not to be Buddhists, and Tibetan Buddhists agree that practitioners of Bon are not Buddhists, and yet Bon has many practices and beliefs which seem very similar to Buddhism, to the extent that it is difficult to understand why Bon is not considered a form of Buddhism either by its practitioners or by Buddhists in Tibet. If Bon were considered by anyone to be Buddhist, it would be easy to understand why it would be considered to be an unusual form of Buddhism, but given that Bon is not considered to be a form of Buddhism it is harder to understand why not. Understanding why not seems especially interesting since Buddhists recognize there has been more than one Buddha in the past, so Bon's lack of reliance on Shakyamuni Buddha seems like it would not be enough to disqualify Bon from being a form of Buddhism which perhaps came from a different Buddha, and indeed to a layperson, or at least to me, this is what Bon looks like. How is Bon different from this, if Bon is not a form of Buddhism? I am not an expert on anything I am speaking about. I am just someone curious about the varieties of Buddhism. I also find Bon and its relationship with Buddhism interesting as well. I mean no disrespect to anyone and wish everyone well regardless of what kind of Buddhism they may practice or regardless of whether they happen to be Buddhist or not.
Very good, excellent documentary in simple comparative analogy and scholarly presentation. Giving wider profound understanding to would be followings and fresh devotees 👋🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ❤️
Zen Buddhism is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism and it's focused on meditation and self discovery. Self discovery is not something related to Theravada Buddhism, but other branches, too.
Historian Shri Shrii Anandamurti said: Bhagaván [Lord] Buddha did not use the word átman, hence there was a difference of opinion among the bhikśus [Buddhist monks] after his death. Three conferences were held - at Vaishali, Puspapur and Patliputra - after his death to compile the Tripit́aka [three groups of Buddhist teachings], and as a result the Tripit́aka was compiled in the following three parts in Pali: 1) Vinaya, or the practical side; 2) Sutta, or the theoretical side; and 3) Abhidhamma, or the philosophical side. All these parts combined together were known as the Tripit́aka, and were called the Buddhist shástra [scripture]. Those bhikśus who patronized or supported the [strict] sannyása márga [path of renunciation] were not prepared to accept anything more than what was laid down in the Tripit́aka, and hence they were called Sthaviravádiis or Therávádiis(3) [followers of the southern school of Buddhism]. Those who were influenced by Nyáya(4) were called Mahásaḿghikas [followers of the northern school of Buddhism]. The word páli originated from pallii, which [in adjectival form] means dehátii, or "rural", "rustic" or "unsophisticated". As Bhagaván Buddha preached in the common language of village folk, Hindu pandits named his language bhákhá [colloquial language]. Pali was also known as Pátalii Bháśá [bháśá = "language"]. Common people could not follow Sanskrit, which was the language of the pandits only. Later on the Mahásáḿghikas called themselves Maháyániis, and they called the Sthaviravádiis Hiinayániis. But the Hiinayániis called themselves Therávádiis. In India there was no state backing for Hiinayána except during the time of [the rulers] Kanishka, Habishka and Vasishka, and hence Hiinayána could not flourish. Maháyána had state backing, and naturally had a larger number of followers. The philosophy of the Hiinayániis could only be preached in Ceylon [Sri Lanka], Burma [Myanmar], Siam [Thailand], Java, Borneo, etc., whereas the philosophy of the Maháyániis was propagated in India, Siberia, Japan, Tibet, etc. There are four kinds of philosophical doctrine [discussed later in this chapter] among the Maháyániis. The reason for this difference of opinion is átman and its object. Bhagaván Buddha used the word attá in Pali for átman. The word attá is also used in place of "self". The bhikśus could not understand the sense in which Bhagaván Buddha used the word attá. Footnotes [1] This discourse was compiled from classes given to a select group of táttvikas (those trained in elementary philosophy), hence the outstanding principles and beliefs of the important faiths were given little or no explanation by the author. -Eds. [2] Darshana literally means "philosophy". Hindu Yoga Darshana - one of the Śad́adarshana, or six major schools of theistic Indian philosophy, discussed later in this chapter - is also known as Pátaiṋjala Darshana. -Eds. [3] The roots of both these words mean “unmoving”. -Eds.

The portion of Mahayana Buddhism should mostly be preserved and flourish in Taiwan and Japan rather than China. There are many vagatarians in Taiwan. Because CCP's culture revolution has destroyed all the religions, and also is still suppressing and controlling religious beliefs till now. I would distinguish Taiwan from China by two different regions under this issue.
Please allow me to interrupt. I feel every Buddhist should know what I have to say. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. I have just videographed Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana temple. She is regarded the great grandmother of that are just as Buddha is regarded as grandfather (Baba).

Yeah, in the past, Vietnam mainly followed Mahayana Buddhism, but now there is a tendency to switch to Theravada Buddhism (although Mahayana still makes up the majority). Therefore, I do not want to mention Vietnam, but want to mention pure Mahayana and Hinayana countries. Thank you for watching the video. Wish you and your family happiness & peace 🙏☸️❤️
Why must there be divisions in Buddhism? It just shows that even Buddhists cannot agree, so how do we be able to achieve enlightenment? Sigh…. The “divisions” alone shows humanity cannot live together harmoniously, no matter what the scriptures say… All are concepts and theories only, nothing to bring us nearer to truth. Basing on past historical knowledge (no matter how ancient) and its authority we will not be able to find freedom…the mind is not free as long as it is filled with knowledge… 🙏🙏🙏
No. Like Eightfold path ,four noble truth , depend arising buddas reachings are similar . But cultures are difderent . Therewadhians mostly want enlightenment through arhath but mahayans try to be a buddha and help all the people to be enlightened . So paths are similar .
Buddha teaches that each sentient being has different karma. Students of Buddhism have different capabilities of understanding the teachings. Some are drawn to more understanding Theravada and some have a deeper understanding in Mahayana then there are some drawn to Vajrayana which is inclusive of the discipline of Theravada and the compassion Bodhisattva path. In all paths the Buddha’s teachings are the same 84,000 volumes of teaching. There are different levels of understanding. There is no competition among Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. To think one is better than another is not what Buddha taught.
To anyone who's watching this video and reading the comments, my wish for you is that any troubles or anxieties that have been weighing you down will begin to lift. May your mind be cleared of negative thoughts, incessant overthinking, and any doubts that have been holding you back.

But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. I have just videographed Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana temple. She is regarded the great grandmother of that are just as Buddha is regarded as grandfather (Baba).
So confusing 😔 I thought most buddhist recognize Siddhartha as THEE Buddha? 😢
You don’t mention Vietnam ❤
Yeah, in the past, Vietnam mainly followed Mahayana Buddhism, but now there is a tendency to switch to Theravada Buddhism (although Mahayana still makes up the majority). Therefore, I do not want to mention Vietnam, but want to mention pure Mahayana and Hinayana countries. Thank you for watching the video. Wish you and your family happiness & peace 🙏☸️❤️

Why must there be divisions in Buddhism? It just shows that even Buddhists cannot agree, so how do we be able to achieve enlightenment? Sigh….
The “divisions” alone shows humanity cannot live together harmoniously, no matter what the scriptures say…
All are concepts and theories only, nothing to bring us nearer to truth. Basing on past historical knowledge (no matter how ancient) and its authority we will not be able to find freedom…the mind is not free as long as it is filled with knowledge…
🙏🙏🙏
No. Like Eightfold path ,four noble truth , depend arising buddas reachings are similar . But cultures are difderent . Therewadhians mostly want enlightenment through arhath but mahayans try to be a buddha and help all the people to be enlightened . So paths are similar .
😂
May I know who is amidabha
Buddha teaches that each sentient being has different karma. Students of Buddhism have different capabilities of understanding the teachings. Some are drawn to more understanding Theravada and some have a deeper understanding in Mahayana then there are some drawn to Vajrayana which is inclusive of the discipline of Theravada and the compassion Bodhisattva path. In all paths the Buddha’s teachings are the same 84,000 volumes of teaching. There are different levels of understanding. There is no competition among Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. To think one is better than another is not what Buddha taught.
To anyone who's watching this video and reading the comments, my wish for you is that any troubles or anxieties that have been weighing you down will begin to lift. May your mind be cleared of negative thoughts, incessant overthinking, and any doubts that have been holding you back. May clarity replace your confusion, and may your life be filled with peace and calmness.
🙏☸️❤️
@@DharmaWheel48 Please allow me to interrupt. I feel every Buddhist should know what I have to say. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt.
