As sinhalese we protected the holy tooth contineously..yes in the portugese period they wanted to destroy it..because not only of the religion but also the politics.Because sinhala people believe in anyone who has the holy tooth as their king. After portugese concured kotte sinhala kingdom, holy tooth transfered to delgamu temple. And we made a replica from an elephant tusk. And that replica was given to widiya bandara. He was a great warrior who fought against portugese. Even he believed he has the original relic. He went Jaffna to join tamils and to attack portugese. His army was consisting 30000 sinhalese. But by a conspiracy vidiya bandara was killed in Jaffna.. Jaffna king took all vidiya bandaras things.Relic was also there. After portugese concured Jaffna they took that relic. And that is the relic they destroyed in Goa. Original relic was in Delgamu wihara untill Kandy sinhala kingdom begins. After establishing kandyan sinhalese kingdom king Wimala dharma suriya brought the holy tooth to Kandy. And untill today the holy tooth of Buddha remains in our Kandy. I my self dedicate my life to protect my Buddhas relic. Namo Buddhaya.

[@nayanthidesilva8660]

Sinhalese and Buddhism are inextricably linked. The Sinhalese believe that only if Buddhism is protected, the Sinhalese and Sri Lanka will be protected. Therefore, any sacrifice is made to protect Buddhism. Because of this, Buddhist monks are highly respected in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan tradition for thousands of years is that the kingship of the country belongs only to the person who owns and protects the tooth of the Buddha. Even today, Sri Lankans appoint only a Buddhist who can protect the Buddhist religion as the President of the country. When Sri Lanka was a colony, the British government negotiated with the Buddhist monks and promised an agreement to protect the Lord Buddha's tooth.

Similarly in 1794, Jagat Sena the general of Kashi Naresh ( Hindu King of Kashi) destroyed the Dharmarajika stupa in Sarnath and threw the casket of Buddha relics in Holy Ganga river. Later the casket was recovered from the the banks of the river in Bengal. Jagat Sen used to believe that Buddhists are Ved-nindak ( people who rejected Vedas), hence they are demonic cult. He was also infuriated by the Buddhist rejection of caste hierarchy ( that some castes are pure & higher by birth because they have done good karma in pastlife) and untouchability ( that contact of certain castes leads to impurity). That's why he proudly destroyed the stupa.

[@LearnEnglishEasy15]

Whoever you are you don't know history. The Buddha was long forgotten in India. It was the British who discovered that the religion of Buddhism flourishing across South East Asia was devoted to the same deity who was born in India. And this happened in the 1870s and 1880s. The Kashi Naresh would have no idea what the stupa even was because Indians had long forgotten him. Even in Bodh Gaya the temple and it's deity were forgotten after 14th century. I suggest you read John Keay India Rediscoverd to learn how ancient Indian history reemerged in the 19th century

[@rameshsoysa7502]

@BodhisattvaTravels Thank you for this wonderful details presented on the Tooth Relic. There is a little mistake in the narration, that I would like to rectify regarding the story of the tooth relic as described in Dhathu Vamsa. Arahat Khema was male Arahath who was a disciple of Great Sariputta Maha Rahathan Vahanse (who was the chief male Bikku disciple - agra shravaka - of the Buddha himself). Khema Arahath Bikkuni who was the chief female disciple of the Buddha (Agra shravika), is a different individual altogether. However their names sound exactly the same and thus has lead to this confusion in the narration. As far as I am aware, all agra shravakas and agra shravikas of the Buddha, are destined to finish their lives before the Buddha. Thus Arahath Khema who was the Agra shravika of the Buddha, would have died before and would not have been present at the Buddha's parinirvana (cremation ceremony). Just to clear the record once again so that everyone can benefit with the correct facts: Dathu Vamsa states that during Buddha's parinirvana (cremation ceremony) Arahath Khema who was a male disciple of Sariputta Maha Rahathan Vahanse used his psychic powers and went into the fire and retrieved the lower left canine tooth during the cremation ceremony. This is the Buddha's tooth relic that you can find today in Kandy. It would never have been given to the Portuguese after the Sri Lankans vigorously protected this for over 1200 years by then and there was protocols and safeguards in place by the time Portuguese came to be a threat. My ancestors and the Sinhalese people, carefully followed the tooth relic from Kotte to Kandy during this time (in the 1560) as there was another local threat to the tooth relic coming from Sethawaka Kingdom a few years later. This was one of the lowest points of Sri Lankan history to be frank.

Though Gauthama Buddha was born in India, the spread of Buddhism as a major religion happened outside India. Still Hinduism treats his as a great prophet with as much reverence and treats him as an avatar. But being an ancient religion with strong roots, it had absorbed most of Buddha's teaching into itself in the 7th century Hindu renaissance period. Therefore Srilanka which had preserved this relic has the dharmic right as Custodian to Holy teeth. If the LTTE had attempted to destroy it, they can only be labeled as the most anti Hindu. Any of the sites prophet of Buddhism are as holy to Hindus and only forms of worship may vary.

[@Dan-xx5jq]

I am not sure if that is true. I read that some Hindu kings destroyed Buddhist temples and built Hindu temples on those grounds.

[@karpasurya]

@@Dan-xx5jq In no way it can be true. The reason is a Hindu temple construction has such a detailed procedure that it can never be built on any pre existing or existing structure. You need to understand lot more about Hindu temple construction than what what British historians have written with their half-baked or a still better term hardly-baked knowledge. They also did it for political reasons to divide and rule the vast Indian territory since they had very limited British fighting force. It might also have been written by religious fanatics in the garb historians. However philosophies of both religions have lots of differences and that is the reason why it is not popular in India, since most of the Indian Kings had accepted Hinduism as a preferred state religion following their rituals and customs. Few kings patronized Jainism as the contribution of Jains to Indian written literature is enormous. Again it is not acknowledged, by the post independence historians as it could be a bitter truth as well.

@UClvmWoCDXjPP-dFuk2ZFM7g I believe in stating the truth. If it hurts you, it is not my problem. By the way, I am a Christian. A Roman catholic and an Anglican. Don't teach me Christianity. Don't I have a right to question the questionable practices of my religion. The natives of America, Australia, Africa and Asia were massacred and the traumatized survivors were converted. The masses have been MISLED, brainwashed, converted, controlled, deracinated, indoctrinated and enslaved, on behalf of vested interests, for world domination. Even today, the poor, ignorant, illiterate are being converted by deceit. What is the agenda of the church. Definitely not SALVATION. On whose behalf are the masses being enslaved. Incidentally, I think you are knowing ABOUT religion. I don't think you KNOW your religion.

Ah! Danta-pura. The word Danta is distinctly related to the English word "Dental" or "Denture." So much similarity between Sanskrit, Greek and Latin. Some scholars say that Sanskrit is the oldest of the three. Best I recall, Danta is also used for Ivory; in Hindi, Haathi Daanth refers to ivory.

In the Welsh language, Tooth is Dant, teeth is Dannedd(pronounced Dan'eth).

Another amazing video again! And im really proud to born in the land where Dantha Dhathu resides in. Btw i have found this Gatha explaining the locations of 4 main dantha dathus of Buddha. "Eka datha Thidasapure, Eka Nagapure ahu, eka Gandhara wisaye eka Kalinga Rajino." Tjat means one tooth relic is in the heaven and another one is in the world of Nagas and another one is in Gandhara(todays Afghanistan) area and the other is in the kingdom of Kalinga. The tooth relic that was in Kaling is now in Sri Lanka and This gatha clearly explains about another tooth relic of Buddha which was in Afghanistan. Do you know what happened to that Dalada in Gandhara?

[@BodhisattvaTravels]

Thanks for your kind feedback and valuable additions. The tooth of Buddha in Gandhara had gone missing and several attempts were made to recover the sacred relic. A team of Archaeologists under the supervision of eminent Pakistani Archaeologist Dr Ihsan Ali found a casket during an excavation at Shalkandi stupa in 2003. The casket is stored at the Chakdara museum and is more than 2000 years old. It is assumed that it may be the casket in which the relic tooth was stored. There is a very high probability; as assumed by the archaeologists, but nothing is conclusive yet. The search and research are still on.

@@BodhisattvaTravelsSorry for being late to reply. Last week was quite busy for me. Oh wow we are very lucky to hear that 😊. Thank you for your information dear sir. I have had only heard about Birman cascket before.

Nagas?is it related to Myanmar ..Cause the Mongoloid tribe of North East India and Myanmar are mentioned as Nagas in ancient India..

[@silentkiller421]

@@santusanturohit4832 not only people in Myanmar ancient Indians used to reffer people with a mongoloid physical appearance as Nagas(snake believers). Whether they were Javanese Khmers Mons or whatever. Its maybe because these people believed in Nagas(snakes). Still you can find many legends associated with large snakes and images of large snakes carved in temples of south east asia. And the word Naga reffers to snakes. So here Naga world reffers to place where large Nagas(snakes) resides. People believed these type of large snakes were living under the ocean and near water bodies+they had their own worlds as well. So here it reffers to a different world. Actually in my opinion both Nagas and Dragons have a same root of origin they both are same.

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. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. Thanks to Xuan Zang, as I located the villages the Buddha was prayed to as a local deity, Xuan Zang also took me to fifty Buddha relic stupas including Ashoka's first Buddha relic stupa.
