Ajanta the history & mystery

[@nickhersheys2706]

I remember visiting the Ajanta Ellora caves when I was a kid with my parents. I remember my Dad said we could not take pictures inside the caves because the flash light would affect the paintings. They said that a hunter found the caves by accident. Now, I'm in USA, I wan't to go back and see the caves again. What a wonderful documentary. Just WOW! Narration - P.C. Ramakrishna. I thought he was an Englishman. LOL ! Amazing as well

The caste system is a nonesense and its rejection is the best thing that could happen to today's India. But buddhism expanded amid a lot of conquests, suffering and taking advantage of royal patronage. And it vanished from India because if you neglect warring matters (and that involves attacking) others come and eat you alive. There is no caste in buddhism but the monastic hierarchy often behaves as some kind of aristocracy and causes a lot of abuses wherever it's given too much power. As you know, the Buddha himself advocated to not represent or pay cult to idols and prohibited images of himself, and 2 centuries later the people conveniently depicted him using iconography from Jainism. If you ask me, Buddhism should have no ties with anything, in the present, only self-supported secular communities accord wih what buddhism is supposed to be. And texts from all traditions should be studied but not grab any particular "sect" or "school". Self interpretation is important.

Never heard of these astounding spiritual and artistic works. It's on my bucket list to make my way here some day. Great writing and narration. I wonder why the creators walked away from it all. Strange too how it all was seemingly never visited after it was abandoned and locals never knew about it and British military happened upon it. I wonder about the hammers and chisels, what kind of metal they were made of. In the film it seems they are made of steel. I suppose then it was the iron age and they were made of iron. Does anyone know? It's harder for us modern era people to envision the potential of dedication and time and what bare hands can do. I wonder what the process was in creating such immense excavations into solid rock. Also to understand the meaning of devotion and spirituality and the impact that has. It is contrasted still with the strange abandonment of it all, the antithesis of devotion, focus, discipline, and the magnitude of the spiritual meanings behind it all. Maybe it was those very virtues that gave them the strength to simply walk away from centuries of effort. Thanks for creating this great documentary. I must return to it again to better grasp all there is to learn from it.

Bodhisattvas are not Gods, neither was Buddha. They all were human beings.

[@lloydmckay3241]

Godly then?

[@kuanlimputera]

It's more than human or god. Although historical Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) was used a human body for purpose of teachings Dharma to human being. Anguttara Nikaya IV, 36. In this story the Buddha is walking along a road and encounters the Brahmin Dona. Dona sees that there is something different and extraordinary about the Buddha and he engages the Buddha in a conversation that went something like this: Dona: Sir, are you a deva (god)? Buddha: No, Brahmin, I am not a god. D: Sir, are you a gandhabba (water spirit)? B: No, Brahmin, I am not a water spirit. D: Sir, are you a yakkha (powerful demon)? B: No, Brahmin, I am not a powerful demon. D: Sir, are you a human being? B: No, Brahmin, I am not a human being. Confused, Dona then asked the Buddha „ Sir, what then are you?“ To which the Buddha replied: „I have eliminated all those corruptions that would make me a god, a water spirit, a yakka, or a human being. „ „Brahmin, just as a lotus, though born and grown in the water, rises up and stands unsoiled by the water, so, though born and grown in the world, I have overcome the world and dwell unsoiled by the world. Consider me a Buddha, an awakened one.“ They have archive supreme liberation. Mahasattva Boddhisatva is one more level to become Buddha. Buddha is teacher God and Man. Boddhisatva who has free from Defilements, all perfect masters of the various Samádhis, the tenfold Self-mastery, the ten Powers, and the six Psychic Faculties. Having been anointed by the Buddha’s own hands, they all well understood the significance of the objective world; they all knew how to apply the various means, teachings and disciplinary measures according to the various mentalities and behaviors of beings; they were all thoroughly versed in the five Dharmas, the three Svabhavas, the eight Vijnanas, and the twofold Ego-less-ness. even more holy and superior of act, altitude than god who still clinging to samsara.

[@MustAfaalik]

@Jack Obrein Well said. These monks are also not on the payroll of any government which is anathema to their spirituality. I have realised much from Buddhism , which is based on the nature of reality leading to spirituality. Like the proverbial lotus as commented by kuanlimputera .

Buddhism is the first peaceful religion in India 🇮🇳.

[@sachinbhosle1337]

True

[@theaceofknaves3285]

@@jamesdcj1 Maybe it's hard to guess your intention in writing this comment, but Jainism predates buddhism (it's arguable that they are contemporary). So James, Jainism and buddhism (Indian Hindu pantheon philosophical schools) are still the only peaceful religions in the world!

hmm,I could of swore I saw lord Vishnu in one of these murals. Lord Vishnu is lit, and my favorite.

Recent archeologists are rejecting the theory that all these magnificent caves carved 100 ft inside hard granite rocks were made with chisel & hammer. They were already carved out much earlier probebly at the time of the kailasha temple.The nearby Kailasha temple is an entire mountian carved from top down an impossible task with hammer & chisel.
