Bones Of The Buddha - Documentary

[@anglakpasherpa8109]

I as a Buddhist don't believe he was a god or son of a god but...he was a normal human who showed people the purpose of living....what we should and shouldn't do.....🙏🙏🙏

[@bananapeaches6370]

Tìmé läpse it’s basic stuff really too, isnt it? Be good to all things and your fellow human. This is how I try to live....it’s so difficult in a world of greed tho

[@hemadear2509]

Buddha was not a God. He was just a man. Just like you and I are, he is a human being. You are correct in thinking this way. HIS teachings were pure philosophy. Mostly common sense which many of us lack of. He suffered in order to find the truth about life. What I don’t believe is that PRINCE SIDDHARTHA didn’t walk out of his home thinking that HE was going to find the truth on behalf everyone else. At that stage HE couldn’t have thought like that. I think, with all the luxuries HE was born to, he couldn’t find happiness and having witnessed the suffering, HE realised that life is suffering. HE tried three methods to find out how to avoid suffering. At first HE LIVED A NORMAL LIFE, THEN HE FASTED, GAVE UP FOOD AND DRINK, THEN FINALLY HE REALISED, THE MIDDLE PATH is the correct path to take if you want to live a peaceful life and avoid suffering. If you overdo anything, you suffer. If you under-do anything, you suffer. In any case, birth itself is suffering. Happiness is very short lived. What I understand is that, BUDDHA found true happiness. Free of Greed, wanting and craving. Anger and jealousy, all these feelings are entrapments in life. They make you want to be reborn again. In order reach the state of enlightenment, which I think is being free from all evil desires, we have to follow the middle path. I also think we are born for a purpose, but what is that purpose. You now made me think, so thank you for talking about this. If we are going to suffer and die in the end, why are we born in the first place? I just realise, I didn’t ask to be born, my parents gave birth to me. Their parents gave birth to them. However the birth and death started, Buddhists believe that it’s our greed causes our birth. I know that, by living at home, with family, you cannot reach the state of Buddha hood. To leave family life, give up everything that is attaching you to a home life and possessions isn’t easy. It must have been very difficult at first for Buddha to leave the palace and his family.

[@Galavya41]

Nirvana can never be reached through" HUMAN" effort. The first step of attaining Nirvana is letting go of the limited ego we define by the current form we are inhabiting in . Nirvana is realization and realization never happens out or effort , the more effort you put in the farther away it will get.

[@olivercook873]

Nonsense.

[@JudoMateo]

Galavya41 Your statement is in direct conflict with the Buddha, and reflects how new age psychobabble memes have become synonymous with Buddhism in the popular consciousness. Samma Vayamo which means Harmonious Effort/Right Effort is an integral aspect of the Noble Path that the Buddha explicitly said is necessary to the practice. Synonyms for effort in Pali also appear in the discourses regularly "Anupassin" which means remaining focused, implies effort and "Atapi" denotes the factor of effort or exertion in the practice; the Commentary equates this with right exertion, which contains an element of discernment in its ability to distinguish skillful from unskillful mental qualities. "Alert" (sampajano) means being clearly aware of what is happening in the present. This, too, relates to discernment. "Mindful" (satima) literally means being able to remember or recollect. But don't take my word for it the Buddha said and I quote "Two things, O monks, I came to know well: not to be content with good states of mind so far achieved, and to be unremitting in the struggle for the goal. Unremittingly, indeed, did I struggle, and I resolved: “Let only my skin, sinews and bones remain; let the flesh and blood in my body dry up; yet there shall be no ceasing of energy till I have attained whatever can be won by manly strength, manly energy, manly effort!” Through diligence have I won enlightenment, through diligence have I won the unsurpassed security from bondage. If you too, O monks, will struggle unremittingly and resolve: “Let only my skin, sinews and bones remain; let the flesh and blood in my body dry up; yet there shall be no ceasing of energy till I have attained whatever can be won by manly strength, manly energy, manly effort!”-then you too will soon realise through your own direct knowledge, in this very life, that unsurpassed goal of the holy life for which sons of good family rightly go forth from home into hermit life and entering into it you will dwell in it. Therefore, O monks, you should train yourselves thus: “Unremittingly shall I struggle and resolve: ’Let only my skin, sinews and bones remain; let the flesh and blood in my body dry up; yet there shall be no ceasing of energy till I have attained whatever can be won by manly strength, manly energy, manly effort!’” Thus should you train yourselves."!

[@Bearwoman2024]

I am not talking about anybody’s remains. He did not die he just in another dimension, the sixth is where he is stuck, because he thinks he is God. I am not sure if he realizes there are more spheres to go through. When your passing through that dimension he will still be there. He refuses to listen or reason with anyone.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

@@Bearwoman2024 i bet that Buddha was a much better man than the out of reach, superior and icy man buddhism has transformed him into by zealous worshipping idolatry. To become popular while living a poor man's life cannot be done without being a man that very deeply impressed on the long term. Not a temporary dazzle act, not a rich man's power quickly forgotten after he passes. No doubt he moved people deeply for good like an earthquake moved mountains in a way that changed lives, not a seasonal sensation and not a one time accident. He renounced his own life to follow a spiritual path. Many still do this in India today but to impress people while doing that is a godly task. Once you are poor nobody will look at you. Changing the lives of thousands while being poor is a goddly act. unfortunately a lot of monks especially from thailand are fraud and what they teach and how they act is probably near the opposite of Buddha.

Either Jesus is the truth or a liar ; If Jesus is true, Buddha is a liar; If Buddha is true, Jesus is the greatest liar. Ponder on this statement, Choose who you want to believe, you have the right and freedom to choose and decide ; if you had the wrong faith, the consequence is ..............put it bluntly, end in hell, that is the greatest tragedy.

We need a saviour , that's why Jesus died on the cross . Buddhism and Muslim say do good work to save us, that is impossible, like a sick person need a doctor, otherwise there is no hope ! Jesus Christ do not come to this world to make bad people good , He came so that dead people will become alive ! We all are born with sin , only through Christ , then He will empower us to become righteous ! Sorry if you feel offended, but this is the truth, Jesus said : I'm the truth, the way and the life, no one come to the father except through me ! Either He is the truth, or He is a liar and a lunatic; you had to make a choice . Hope you will do research and come to the truth ! Blessing !

The body was born from parents and was nourished by food; just as evitable are sickness and death. But the true Buddha is not a human body; it is Enlightment.

[@oraclebjj]

I was torn with what to feel as I sat through the first five minutes, seeing the great grandson of Pepe(?) British fellow pull all those precious relics from his drawer. Initially I was appalled by the arrogance that represented the living present artefact of British imperialism today. It also represented outright grave robbery, sacred grave robbery at that. Irony lay in the fact that Buddha would not have cared about his remains. He barely cared about them when he was alive. But I'm reminded of this one simple fact. That to conquerers go the spoils. Should the artefacts be returned? Probably. Is Buddhism backed by a powerful organization like Catholicism and its Vatican? No. If it was you can be sure it would be demanded back. And that ok that Buddhism is not a powerful religious organization. It speaks of the notion of religion itself. Buddhism is NOT a religion. So keep the artefacts. Keep your crosses and your holy grail and grand cathedrals. It speaks to the failure of those religions that have strayed from their original prophets messages. Do not worship me or my artefacts and relics, they are meaningless. Happiness (God) can only be found from within.

[@nighthunter8217]

Please note that almost all archeology is an authorized professional (usually) scientific grave robbery. Standard of world wide property ownership: It only matters who owned the property AFTER documentation has been established, such that when the invaders - whoever they may be- establish ownership over the property (usually but not necessarily by military conquest) and are NOT immediately overthrown by other invaders, they document and establish their own claim to the property. Further, whatever was buried ON that property, usually including all mineral rights, becomes the property of the now documented owner. This is true for ALL ancient sites in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and North America, and even most modern places -WWII being a notable major exception, although the formation of Israel from Palestine follows the pattern. Even when documents PROVE that proper procedure was not followed - an excellent example was the purchase of land from the Senaca by the State of New York, - it is extremely difficult to overturn the current claim to ownership. Only if the Government of whatever location can somehow establish ownership can a site be preserved from unprofessional "looting" as opposed to professional careful description, documentation, scientific measurement, possibly public display, and/or archival preservation. The Government can "advise," and "tax" whatever is found on private property, but they cannot force the owner to allow professionals to work the site. (The owner can even refuse to allow ANY work on the site, leaving it undisturbed, and only noted as a place of unknown archeological possibilities in some dry text of "Possible Sites of Interest, " in some archeological reference survey.) Even when they are "salvaging" ships ships from the sea/ocean floor outside normal national jurisdiction, Governments only tend to claim a share of the "treasures value," and have almost zero control of the professional credentials and operational procedures.

That would be one step towards immortality for the great effort of your Ancestors ,if you think they did something right . England can afford that and have another income spinner like the Kohinoor .

Let me put it this way, everyone knows compassion is a virtue, but no or very few people practise it, why? It's because their inborn sinful nature overtake them and most of the time we act selfishly. Why we never learn fr. history and we have wars and kill one another even the innocent ? why we have so advance education yet our society is not getting better , but very dangerous and threatening? The root cause is man lost his God given good nature and turned bad, and act selfishly even brutally. His mind tell him it's wrong but sinful heart choose the wicked way; which murderer do not know killing is wrong? which rapist do not know raping is wrong? which robber do not know robbing is wrong? even liar knows lying is bad,they so it anyway .............the bottom word is selfish ! Now the right answer is LOVE, love is to care for one another, if I love you I don't hurt, or cheat or rape or killed you ! ', but I care for you, Jesus teach us to " love your enemy" , no other religion or man ever utter this atonishing teaching. When the Jews crucified him on the cross, He did not call the angle to rescue Him , but said " father forgive them, they don't know what they are doing!" God care for you and He want you to have abundant life, maybe it's He who divinely appointed me to communicate with you, so that you will be blessed. Why am I take so much time, tirelessly write to a stranger I don't even know his name ? It's because God's love is on me and I care for you. God will take away your burden and give you a purposefully life. Job 5:7 say:Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. and Jesus say:Come unto me, all ye that labour(tired)and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28....................you no need to meditate, chanting or empty the mind . God willgive you the power to live a holy , righteous and happy life, in whatever circumstances. The world is such a mess because man forsake God , in fact they think they can be God , they decide who live and who die, when bad things happen, they curse God and blame each other. Pride, ego, self-righteousness is the greatest and root of all sin. May God have mercy on us !

​@@deanebodhi1881 2 wrongs do not make a right, 2 rights do not make a wrong too ! If you commit a sin, you cannot go and do two good works to cancel the sin . Buddha teach that we can save ourselves by doing good, how come ? If a person committed adultery or murder, he cannot cancel his crime by giving all his money to the poor . ,but to pay for his sin, and the penalty of sin is death. Now buddha did commited adultery in his early life , he has to pay for it , It's very offending to tell you .............buddha is in hell ! This is where the salvation is all about, Jesus die for our sin; any religion without a cross is a lie and wasting of time ! Buddhism is a lie and buddha is a liar , he is being used by the devil to deceive the world so that they will go to hell !!!!!

[@tankeepeng4426]

Christianity clearly say that all men are sinful ,the heart is deceitful above all , and desperately wicked Jer : 17,9 , no one is righteous, this including Buddha and Mohamed and all others . We need a saviour , that's why Jesus died on the cross . Buddhism and Muslim say do good work to save us, that is impossible, like a sick person need a doctor, otherwise there is no hope ! Jesus Christ do not come to this world to make bad people good , He came so that dead people will become alive ! We all are born with sin , only through Christ , then He will empower us to become righteous ! Sorry if you feel offended, but this is the truth, Jesus said : I'm the truth, the way and the life, no one come to the father except through me ! Either He is the truth, or He is a liar and a lunatic; you had to make a choice . Hope you will do research and come to the truth ! Blessing !

Gautama Buddha was born in Hela Bima The meaningful conclusion Posted on January 6, 2014 In the period that Buddha lived, 2600 years prior to this date, based on administrative authorities, this Heladeepa had been divided preciously in to two. Yaksha Heladeepa where tribes like Yaksha, Naga, Kumbhaanda and Gaandarva lived, of which capital city was Alakamandava (Lankapura). Janbudveepa, which was popular as Deva Hela where Aryan clan lived, in which sixteen states were located. It was in this Hela Diva that Sidduhath Gautama Bosath was born, Gautama Bosath attended in to supermandane Enlightenment, preached Dhamma from his very first sermon for forty five years to this world and finally attended in to parinirvana. In the past all these things happened in this Hela Diva where you and I live and die. The Tripitaka preciously says that four Buddhas in this Kalpa[1] were born in this Janbudveepa itself. In the time of Gautama Buddha Janbudveepa was called “Hela Diva”, in the period of Kakusanda Buddha it was called “Ojadeepa”. In the time of Kashyapa Buddha it was “Mandadeepa”. This Janbudveepa was the birth place for all the Buddhas from the time of Deepankara Buddha. There isn’t any other island in this world other than this island, Hela Diva, what we call Sri Lanka now, where any man who aspires to attend to the sacred position called Enlightenment can be achieved. It is because that the active universal energies in this world are centralized in the Madya Mandala and it is situated in the center in Sri Lanka. All the Buddhas who attend in to The Enlightenment can definitely get this energy only from the Madya Mandala situated in the very center in Janbudveepa in Sri Lanka. (See the map of Lanka). It’s a constant that along with the disclose of this true Dhamma, ones who are born today in this Hela Diva and also a particular group of lucky people who will be born for seven hundred years in the future, with the effect of Buddha Shakthi [2],will be able to get the eternal relief from the suffering in Samsara, will get the chance to realize Nirvana. You also should think that you too are a lucky person, “The most supreme Buddha Dhamma” should be heard, it is necessary to step on to the path of Dhamma, should conform to Buddha Shakthi and attend in to Nirvana.

In one of the Buddha's story, a monk became enlightened when he saw a beautiful woman smiled and realized he's looking at her teeth and thought how disgusting teeth was. Seeing things as they really are allows one to the path of enlightenment, and seeing bones and dirt, no matter how rare, they are still just bones and dirt.

These relics need to be given a place. These relics are important to all Buddhists. It isn't right for them to be owned by a 'finder'; or grandfathered in by law of finding of time frame by a 'finder'. Few ppl 'do the right thing', and greed aparently followed through inheritance of the jewels. Not much different than grave robbery or looting a tomb, looting a grave. Returning the relics to their place may be a danger in some respects; BUT their is no reason that the relics could not be given a home in a safer area to allow Buddhists a pilgramage to be blessed to view them and pay respects or wonder. They should have a home outside of a metal locker in a dark room.. I hope someone does the right thing.

For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17 Again, I truly do not understand Buddhism, but He was not a boddhisatva and salvation can only be obtained by faith, believing in Jesus Christ - the only begotten Son of God.

At that time there were few Buddhists left in India, knowledge of Buddhist dharma had pretty much died out.

The Book of the Threes, Monks, there are these three things which are practiced in secret, not openly. What are they? The ways of womenfolk are secret, not open. Brahmins practice their chants in secret, not openly. Those of perverse views [philosophically views,] hold their views secretly, not openly. These are the three things… Monks, there are these three things which shine forth for all to see, which are not hidden. Which three? The disc of the moon shines for all to see; it is not hidden. The disc of the sun does likewise. The Dhamma-Discipline [dhamma-vinaya] of a Tathagata [Buddha] shines for all to see; it is not hidden. These are the three things. So “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth” EHIPASSIKO "Come and See" The Learning of Buddha-Dhamma demands No blind faith. There are no commandments, Threats, or rules to penalize who do not want to believe in it. The ONLY way for one to realize the truth is to acquire the knowledge and practice by one's own will. Forcing someone to accept certain teachings which they are not ready to receive will not benefit them in their spiritual progress. The Buddha is Not afraid of His Teachings to be tested, for realization Only comes from the practice of his teachings. The Bussda-dhama is also Svakkhato (well Taught), Sanditthiko (to be self-realize), akaliko (with immediate result), opanayiko (capable of being entered upon), paccattamveditabbo Vinnuhiti (to be attained by the wise, each for himself).

This documentary represents the correct teaching of its time - only for 1,000 years after Buddha’s passing did Buddha teach to practice the Hinayana (lesser teachings). The Mahayana teachings were to be practiced and spread for the 2nd 2,000 year period. In the 5th 500 year period (as predicted by the Buddha) is when the greater teaching that was described within the Mahayana would their be someone who would understand this principle. It was the Japanese monk -Nichiren Daishonin, who compared all the literary works and understood what the Buddha was conveying in Nuddhas teachings from Hinayana, Mahayana, and Greater Mahayana. The wisdom of the Lotus Sutras teaching now exists in modern day for anyone to practice.

The history of politics at the time of British rule is not very good and outcomes of which we witnessed ugly events. But on the other side of the coin there was something good coming out as well. They gave us knowledge about applying laws in Administration and establishing Public transport, for which we are thankful to them till date. Coming to this topic when my grandpa was in the Police line, he came across death and even gathering knowledge from the priest as to what happens to the soul. He shared this with us that; "the Soul does not release itself from the body instantly it wanders within the physical body. And then its memory is cleared after the rituals performed, most of the times this info is debatable". Therefore digging into the Remains doesn't give you any special findings. The body is a tomb itself. You live in it, you are an Energy that functions it, restores it, until your time has come to leave this body to join into another form (with a purpose or not :) again its debatable).

We cannot do make any statement to compare the lord of buddha with any of living being. The Lord of buddha's relics were distributed and worshiped by the Gods....! We are not able to even touch those relics and they are moved by the gods...!!! The people who are being honest to save the Buddha's relics are capable and permitted to exhibit to the public in all over the world.

Abstention from all evils, Cultivation of the wholesome, Purification of the heart, This is the "messege" of the Buddha.

Gautama was not a prophet, he was not a Buddhist either, he was a great soul, he had a deep understanding of mankind weakness, and found out the very origin of the violence which poison the world, is holiness is pervading time, just putting attention to him brings peace to any heart!

Buddha never say his teaching is a religion. Buddhism is not a religion, it is a way of living to strive for spiritual perfection. Only by truly understanding yourself you will understand universal creation. Omni present and Omni potent.

That's what I was thinking

[@ZackTuNan]

It's true

[@charliemoyse8334]

Thank you !!!!!!

[@dsethi05]

Thank you . What is important is that we implement Lord Buddha 's teachings in our lives more so in the world of today which is full of intolerance and hate . The teachings of Lord Buddha would heal the world which we all need .

Lumbini, where Gautam Buddha was born is in NEPAL, not India. Kapilvastu, the Capital city of the SHAKYA KINGDOM is in NEPAL too.

I belong to the place where they found it. Piparahwa it is in Siddharth Nagar District, India. Most Peaceful Place I ever saw in my life. You will feel nature here once you visit this place. World needs Buddhism, Peace, Nature.

[@adyasharout496]

His remains are not what is important but how he lived his life and teachings are what is more important. In christianity it may be important for them to find a physical thing connected to jesus but that is not the way with buddism.

Inspiring. Great documentary. Thank you.

[@ujdurma7]

it should be returned to India.

[@abhigna_talakeri]

Buddhas ashes and bones were distributed in thousands of places around the world to spread his teachings

[@mdiaz4552]

Ashes...wasn't Buddha cremated? Then, how could there be bones? I am really interested to know.

[@Gompotashikham]

​@@mdiaz4552relics, which sometimes looks like pearls, are something that is discovered in the remains of great beings who have achieved some levels. Many lamas in Tibetan Buddhism have also left relics in their cremation(you can search on KZbin) . Buddha's relic is precious in Buddhism, and as said above, the ashes and relics are distributed to different sanghas during that time and can be found in many stupas. The holy relics when kept clean and revered, it multiplies. I, myself, have a relic of the Buddha in my shrine.

[@paldonpaldon1064]

You will have to face the result of bad Karma. You shouldn’t have taken away the sacred relics which is for devotees to pay homage and receive blessing. This is theft.
