How did Buddhism Spread from India to Southeast Asia | Flashback with Palki Sharma

[@Firstpost]

Why do you think Buddhism disappeared from India? Comment below and join the conversation.

[@harshar_reddy]

Soon hinduism also will disappear from india😢

[@mattdamon2084]

It's not disappear, actually it forced to be separated from Hinduism in name of religion, While hinduism is only relegion which destroys any philosophy or statement that defines religion, Instead it shows path as karma ... A good & meaningful karma .

[@erwinmasusu4342]

Adi Sankara is commonly attributed to the revival of Hindu philosophy through debates and discourses throughout India. Before his time Buddhism was very prevalent in India. Remember that in those days, if a local ruler switched religion, all his subjects followed suite.

[@techymangal8123]

Hindusim is fulfill in it and Hindus people didn't need it ,that's why but both hindusim and buddism both are very good Another reason is that Hindus belive in good and Buddhism is related to Gautam Buddha teaching

[@playhard719]

I think people ignore the history of Buddhism in southern India, the rivalry between Jainism and Buddhism, how Bakthi movement put an end to the growth of both Buddhism and Jainism in Tamil countries. How Palla empire of Bengal used Buddhism to attract southeast and east Asian traders, and how Cholas take the control of the trade back from Buddhist Kingdoms of India and outside, all of those played a huge part in why Buddhism can't take a hold in India and the final nail in coffin came in the form of Islamic invasion, almost every Buddhist majority kingdom in India and outside became Islamic nation.

Well not really, Buddhism had 'almost' gone extinction from India for over 600 years not until the early 20th century because of prominent missionary figures like Anagarika Dhammapala and Dr Ambeddekar it experiences a noticeable revival. Within 100 years the number of Buddhist adherents only takes up less than 0.7% of the Indian population.

Being a German you may like to visit Das Buddhistische Haus in Berlin Frohnau in Germany. It is the oldest Theravada Buddhist Temple in Europe.Founded in 1924 by a German Buddhist named Dr. Paul Dahlke and after he died in 1928, the property was bought in 1957 by a young Sinhalese businessman from Sri Lanka, named Asoka Weeraratna. The latter founded the German Dharmaduta Society in 1952 and led the first Buddhist Mission to Germany from Sri Lanka in 1957 with three Buddhist monks. It is a fascinating story. Das Buddhistische Haus will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding on August 3rd and 4th of this year 2024. You may get more information by contacting the Temple.

Although Buddhism originated in India, the Sinhalese of Sri Lanka have managed to maintain Buddhism for a long time by using very hard work in the history of thousands of years.

Yes, Prince Sidhuhath was born in Lumbini, Nepal. As a Buddhist, I also went to that place and worshiped. We thank the government and the people of Nepal for protecting that place well. But the Buddhists know very well that Indians use the word Buddhism only for diplomatic strategies and to earn money from tourists who come to visit Buddhist temples. In fact, it is because of the intervention of the Buddhist monks of Sri Lanka and the Buddhists of the main Buddhist countries that the most important Buddhist temples of the Buddhists are maintained. This is the reality of Buddhism in India.

I am a Theravada Buddhist from Sri Lanka. Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world, which is more than 5000 years old. Almost 80% of the Indian population are Hindus. There is a strong social class system and a caste system in India. Buddhism is dead against this. Lord Buddha said “ONE BECOMES SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR NOT BY BIRTH, BUT BY BEHAVIOUR.” This is one reason why Buddhism could not thrive in India. The second reason is Buddhism is a non-god based religion, which makes it a philosophy, rather than a religion that worship an external supreme being and asking for favours for survival. Lord Buddha said “YOU ARE YOUR OWN SAVIOUR” which is just the opposite. So Buddhism did not stand a chance of thriving in India among strong god believers. There is no known prophet or a single founder of Hinduism, while Buddhism is a one-man band. Hindus believe in several Gods. In god-based religions, children are being taught by their elders and teachers, not to ask questions about the God and his creations, as they will go to hell. So they keep quiet without investigating the facts OUT OF FEAR OF GOING TO HELL. Lord Buddha was the only religious leader in the world, who said “DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANYTHING JUST BECAUSE BUDDHA SAID IT. Investigate, analyse, and find evidence.” So Buddhists or non-Buddhists will never go to hell for debating about Buddha or Buddhism. This is just the opposite of God-based religions. This is the third reason why Buddhism could not thrive in India. Prince Siddhartha, who was born a Hindu with an analytical and logical mind, was disappointed when he learned the truth about life of being born, getting old, falling sick, suffer, and die, which God could not control. He wanted to investigate and find out how to stop being born in order to end suffering. So he renounced all his royal comforts, left the palace, left his family, became an ascetic, abstained from all evils, indulgence and extremes, and engaged in deep meditation for seven years. Finally he was enlightened, attained Buddhahood, and put an end to rebirth that ended suffering. When he tried to disclose to Hindus about his revelations, he was being rejected. Buddha said that not many people would understand his doctrine (Buddha Dharma) and have the motivation to learn his meditation techniques. At the end, he found people who have the required mindset. Lord Buddha made it clear that HE IS NOT A SAVIOUR BUT A TEACHER. He was on a mission to teach others on how to save themselves from suffering by mastering his teachings. And he accomplished his mission. Being a Buddha is not monopolistic. Anyone can become a Buddha through deep meditation. But every Buddha is NOT capable of teaching others. Prince Siddhartha, whose name was changed to Gautama Buddha after the enlightenment, is the twenty ninth Buddha that was born on this planet.

"I agree that India has a strong caste system. However, I'd like to point out that caste systems or racism exist in some form in many countries, including Sri Lanka. As a psychologist who has attended several sessions on Buddhist meditation, I have immense respect for Buddhism and its principles. Interestingly, I've noticed that the concept of 'Guna-Karma-Vibhaga' (division based on qualities and actions) mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita is similar to Buddhist teachings. However, I disagree with the Buddhist concept that women cannot attain Nirvana unless reborn as men. In contrast, Hinduism believes that every individual can attain Moksha, regardless of gender. Regarding the concept of God, I agree that Hinduism has multiple deities, but we believe in the unity of truth, as reflected in the phrase 'Ekam Sat Vipraa Bahudha Vadanti' (Truth is one, but the sages know it by many names). I'm surprised by your statement that Hindu parents teach their children about hell; in reality, we use simple, child-friendly explanations, such as cartoon movies and short stories, to help them understand the concept of creation. As they grow older, individuals are free to choose their own path, as enshrined in India's law, which guarantees freedom of religion."

Most of the family have moved away from the way they were raised. I think that is for a few reasons. 1. So religions will shun you if you have a child out of wedlock (many years ago, mostly). 2. Some religions build Men up, making them feel like powerful heads of household. 3. Poverty made some not want to celebrate holidays, as they felt they could not afford to. 4. So religions did not encourage certain career choices. 5. Some followed their husband's religion, leaving their own. 6. Some of us were raised without religion and loosely chose our own beliefs, not attending any church. 7. Those who question the structure of churches and their hierarchy. There are so many reasons

[@i_love_tibet7001]

You are so Wrong!!!!!!!!! Bhutan practice Vajrayana Buddhism from Tibet..... but NOT via China. We could have done that but Our Great King and Minister prefered to learn the Buddhism from its Origin-India. While Our Great King- Trisong Dhetsun wanted to establish the Buddhism in Tibet, he invited Abbot of Nalanda- Shantarakshita, Vimalamitra to Tibet. So, to subjugate the evil spirits in Tibet to build the first Monastery. They suggested King to invite the most powerful (Lotus- Born- Master, Guru Padmasambhava) in the 8th Century. We called him our Second Buddha. He spent 55 years in Tibet sending many Translators and Scholars to India. They studied in great Nalanda University and learned from many great Tantric Masters and Mahasiddhas.

Siddharth Gautam born in Kapilvastu, currently in Nepal evolved into Buddhism in India and is widely practiced in Sri Lanka, and many countries in South East Asia.

I am from Kathmandu, Nepal. Kathmandu was rooted with Vajrayana Buddhist Practice which not only led the spiritual practice but also a reformist socio-political practice till Adi-Sankracharya forcefully imposed Shaivist Hinduism, and corrupting most of the Vajrayana practice. When I visited Maharastra, I found the similar invasive stories. Most of the rock carved architecture seem to be an articulated space for Buddhist Monastic teaching still preserved (and ironically by British Government) such as in Ajanta, and forcefully converted to Hindu temples such as in Alora and Elephanta (You can see an artless establishment of Shivlinga over Padma-aasan). The religio-political discrimination reached to a point that most of the Buddist practioners were deregotarily suppresed as Dalits, later to be emancipated by Bhim Rao Ambedkar. Similar story in Kathmandu, but highly scholarly and intelligent Buddhist Practioners in Kathmandu (the Vajracharyas and Shakyas) secretly fought back such tendencies forcing Hinduism to be merged into Tantric Buddhist Practice. (So, the practice of Hidduism in Kathmandu is so different from the rest of the world!) Hindu practices are seamlessly merged into Buddhist Tantric Practice, most of the Buddist Dharma Protector Deities taken to be manifestation of Shiva. As of now, there is seamless merge of both practices.

Also, Nepal as she mentioned was a part of Ancient Indian-subcontinent only, hence Sita was also known as an Indian Princess.

Miss Palki Sharma, thank you for acknowledging the birthplace of Lord Buddha. However, in this entire video, there isn't a single clip of Lumbini, where Buddha was born. Therefore, before creating a video, please conduct thorough research on how the birthplace of Buddha looks. If there are mistakes in such minor details, how can we trust the accuracy of the information you provide?

I have been following your news for a long time since as I consider you, Ms. Palkyi Ji , one of the outstanding, bold and honest news reporters. However, this time I am surprised that you have not mentioned a word on Tibet, one of the most faithful Buddhist countries in Asia with 90% of its people are Buddhist follower. As for now, the Tibetan Buddhist is one of the most influential and profound holder of the Buddhist tradition in the world. So I am wondering why you have not mentioned a word on Tibetan Buddhist and its long history since 7th century of Buddhist practice, which are widely accepted and following in the world.
