Kalmykia - Europe's Only Buddhist Region | Europe To The Maxx

Whether a country or a region, this culture must be saved. Congratulations kalmic people for preserving Buddhism for four hundred years and it should continue till future.

[@GyacoYu]

Thank you! Yet if only one percent of EU or American citizens say "yes, Kalmykia, Tatarstan and Western Kazakhstan are part of Europe and yes that is culturally European", I'd be greatly astonished. Unfortunately most wouldn't even consider the European part of Russian beyond Moscow and St Petersburg "European", some wouldn't even consider Moscow European...

@@hxjj111 You have no idea what you're talking about. The Russian Federation is a "federation" in the name only, for all practical purposes it's a unitary state with all the powers concentrated within the central government in Moscow, which is the sovereign - none of the republics, oblasts, krays, or autonomous regions have sovereignty over their international affairs, military, law enforcement or judicial affairs - local authority is limited to economic activities. In short, Kalmykiya is not a country.

Ironically people from Caucasus are'nt pure "Caucasians". Countless invasions from Far East have now made them look more "Asian" than "European"(Thanks to Genghis Khan) Azerbaijanis, Georgians and Armenians however have more "European" phenotypes. Kalmyiks, Dagestanis and other Southern Russian states have more "Asian" looking people. Central Asia and Eastern Europes have been the most imp melting pot in the world for years.

[@__Man__]

@@PaulAllen6304 Dagestan is very diverse region, what Dagestani are you talking about? If you are refering to Nogay people that lives in Northern Dagestan near the border with Kalmykia, yes they are Asians, because they are original Turkic that not too much mix with Middle Easterners or Europeans, but if you are talking about Dagestanis in Central and Mountainous South, they are European even more European than those three, because most of them are the same people cluster with Chechen and Ingush, most of people there look more European than the Azerbaijanis and Armenians who some or may be most of them still has Persian or Northern West Asia appearance. Also what you called as Southern Russian states like Circassia, Chechnya, Ingushetia are more European than those three, also there are plenty of blonde people with Europoid face in Circassia; Chechen and Ingush also have Europoid face but most of their hair colour are ginger or black, only few are blonde

[@shantanushekharsjunerft9783]

The core teaching of Buddhism is the 4 noble truths (why sentient beings suffer) and the noble 8 fold path (how to end that suffering). It’s not a faith based religion as it appears when people see the Blessed One’s statue. Buddha always said “come and see for yourself”, as in verify his teachings for your self and then accept it only if you have seen it to be the case.
