    Adwhyta proudly presents 'Bodh Gaya - The Seat of Enlightenment', a documentary short film which explores one of the holiest Buddhist places in the world.
    In Dhammapada, the Buddha says -
    “All tremble at violence; all fear the ultimate sleep. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not harm nor cause another to harm.”
    The film revolves around the kind of transformation Buddhism can bring in people’s lives and the role it can play in today’s chaotic world. In our journey through the film, we also explore the story of the Buddha, the historical relevance of the pilgrimage and personal experiences of Buddhist monks and practitioners.
    Filmed, Edited & Directed by: MSN Karthik
    Produced By: Adwhyta
    Shot on: Canon 70D + 18-135mm Lens
    Edited on: Davinci Resolve 12.5

      As told in the Sunna, the episode of Prophet Muhammad invited a group of Christians to pray at his mosque in Medina is a perfect epitome of respect by Islam of other religions. I am not a Christian, neither Muslim... I have great respect for Prophet Muhammad of his fairness and respect for other faiths.
      Look also on the the constitution he enacted during his reign in Medina.. especially those touched on other faiths and minority groups! What a true statesman he was... one with wisdom and fairness.
      (Sadly... That spirit was never repeated by leader of any country ever since , be it a Muslim, Christian, Hindu or Buddhist country.)

    I was supposed to stay in Bodhagaya one night but end up staying 7days. There's something at that place makes you feels so at peace, calm and joyous. There is definitely a magical energy there. Will go back again this lifetime.

      Thank you. I am a Buddhist welcome to India. I request you don't hire any Hindu guide there. They spread fake information about Buddhism. contact only Buddhists. There is a small Hindu temple in Bodhgaya forcefully established by extremist Hindus. And Don't donet money there. be Safe and Carefully.

    He never claimed to be a son of GOD
    He never claimed to be a messenger of GOD
    he was a man who achieved NIRVANA through human effor..💙💙💙

      @Drake Hardy Did gautam buddh asked people to kill the people of other religion? No
      Rohingya genocide happened because of people of Myanmar. Some humans are always evel no mattter what religion they claim they follow. A lot of people call themselves Buddhists but they don't even follow the 5 principles of Buddhism let alone anything else. For example the buddist monks of Myanmar eat meat. This doesn't just happenes in Myanmar but a lot other buddist countries. I can understand that in some people it's hard to grow crops like in Tibet and ladakh so there people mostly eat meat because they don't have any other choice, and in some places meat is important part of the local cousine so normal people can't stop eating it but monks who claim that they have renounced all the worldly pleasures can't stop it then you have to wonder what kind of Buddhism they are following.

    I grew up Catholic. In my late teens, I attended a Unitarian church regularly. Then I learned a little about Buddhism from a an audio cassette by Lama Surya Das. I attended some sangha meetings at a tiny sangha which met in a former office building. I returned to the Catholic church very briefly around the time my children were born and baptized. Then I started taking my children to the Unitarian church. A few years after this, I started attending a Congregational church (United Church of Christ). Lately, I've been interested in Hinduism. I guess you could say I am a real seeker.

    I was drawn towards Buddhism through a Buddha Statue my father has given to my mother as a wedding anniversary gift.. it was sitting there on top of a large piece of furniture "looking down" on all the events unfolding..since I started to look into Buddhism, lucky enough there was a "Buddhist house" in my home town, a little temple attached to it and a library, founded by Dr. Paul Dahlke in 1958 in Berlin/Germany, I often went there and enjoyed the calmness and secludedness of that place, finally I made it to India several times, it was a game changer, 55 years later I still hold that statue in high esteem and as a reminder of the wonderful teachings of this wonderful being !

    though we call it a 'religion'...but Buddhism isn't a 'religion' at all, at least not to me..Budhha is not a 'God'..he was a human being.. you dont pray to him, he don't give you blessing.. you try to follow the path he showed.. but alas!! our human mind always keen to believe in 'Godly' world.

      @@prosantomukerji3931 , I can't speak for everyone but I think you can be a Buddhist & very successful as well like my siblings, parents and myself. Buddhist teaching give you a peace of mind & less stress because we live in USA over 33 years & all our live is about success, wealth, materials & everything have to be the best and then now we have to pressure our kids to be successful as well but after I know Buddhist I feel so much less pressure about success & material world. Sometimes money, success and wealth is not everything. Happiness , feeling satisfied/enough and being greatful about what you have is important too

      The religious aspect is believing and having faith in what the Buddha taught and it leading to Nirvana. This is contained in the teachings of the Buddha, salvation will only be found with you, not the other (Most Faiths teach the latter).

    As other people also have noted below, at 24:11, the subtitles are mistaken; it should be "...that's why we call it the Vajra Seat, so it's an 'indestructible place'."
    The Vajra Seat is sometimes translated as the "Diamond Seat" because the Vajra is as "hard as a diamond."
    Another translation for "vajra" is a "thunderbolt", but (although we might imagine the Buddha being struck by Enlightenment the way one would be struck by a thunderbolt, perhaps) the usual translation of the "Vajra Seat" is the "Diamond Seat."
    Other than that, a wonderful movie: visually stunning, and spiritually inspiring! Thank you so much for this Precious Gift!

    In 1963 I read THE ESSENCE OF BUDDHISM by JOHN WALTERS. I felt a sense of bliss, of pure freedom. Shortly afterwards, I went to Springfield and purchased a green statue with a red glass jewel above the forehead of Buddha. At a later time, I went to the personnel office and officially changed my religion from Baptist to Buddhist. I had never met a Buddhist. After completing my enlistment in the US Air Force, I moved to Boston- Cambridge. I began the practice of Hatha Yoga with John Loder in Harvard Square.
    Thanks to the GI Bill, I continued research at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu in the department of Religion with an emphasis in Asian Pacific religious traditions. I began Zen study with Robert Aitken Roshi of the Honolulu Diamond Sangha. I had a course in Ch’an Buddhism with Dr. Chang Chung Yuan. My life is complete with deep appreciation.

  • @tyamada21
    @tyamada21 5 років тому +2

    Years ago I was lead to believe that to practice Nichiren’s Buddhism correctly, one had to attend meetings and belong to an organisation. Nowadays I’ve come to understand that anyone, regardless of whether they become a ‘member’ of a group or not, can benefit from their own personal practice.
    The reason for this is that the Law myoho-renge-kyo represents the identity of what some scientists refer to as the ‘unified field of all consciousnesses’. In other words, it’s a sound vibration that is the essence of all of existence and non-existence, the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the true creator of everything that is, ever was and ever will be, right down to the minutest particles of dust, each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves by tapping directly into it by way of self-produced sound vibration.
    On the subject of ‘Who or What Is God?’, when we compare the concept of ‘God’, as a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to Nichiren’s teachings, the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people call ‘God’ is our enlightenment, which exists nowhere else but within us.
    When the disciples asked Jesus where the Kingdom of God is, didn’t he tell them that it was within them?
    Some say that ‘God’ is an entity that can never be seen. I think that the vast amount of information that is constantly being conveyed via electromagnetic waves gives us proof of how an invisible state of ‘God’ could actually exist. It’s widely known that certain data being relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects, including instant global awareness of something or mass emotional reaction. As well as many other things, it’s also common knowledge that these waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to even enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars. However, none of this is possible without a receiver to decode the information that is being transmitted. Without the receiver, the information would remain impotent.
    In a very similar way, it’s important for us to have our ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our life, all other life and what we and all else that exists truly is. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and switch it on. That’s because the sound vibration of myoho-renge-kyo represents the combination of the three major laws that underlie all existence.
    Myoho represents the Law of latency and manifestation (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. One state of myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists. This includes our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them, our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re not being expressed, our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma, and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes obvious to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory, whenever we experience or express our emotions, or whenever a good or bad effect manifests from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it simply means that it has come out of the state of ‘myo’ (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s simply the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing something.
    The second law, renge, governs and controls the functions of myoho, ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect. The two laws of myoho and renge, both functions together simultaneously, as well as underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
    The final and third part of the tri-combination, kyo, is what allows the law myoho to be able to integrate with the law renge. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects together all Life and matter, as well as the past, present and future. It is often termed the Universal Law of Communication. Perhaps it could even be compared to the string theory that some scientists now suspect exists.
    Just as our body cells, thoughts, feelings and all else are constantly fluctuating within us, everything in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux, in accordance with these three laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible for us to calculate or describe. And it doesn't matter how big or small, important or trivial that anything may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of myoho-renge-kyo.
    These three laws are also the basis of the four fundamental forces and if they didn't function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. Simply put, all forms of existence, including the seasons, day and night, birth, death and so on, are all moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation, rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two universal states of myo and ho in absolute accordance with renge and by way of kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn in accordance with the workings of what the combination myoho-renge-kyo represents.
    Nam, or Namu, on the other hand, is a password or a key; it allows us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with myoho-renge-kyo. On a more personal basis, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives from moment to moment, as well in our environment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is turning, and rhythmically chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for a minimum of ten minutes daily, anyone can experience actual proof of its positive effects in their life.
    In so doing, we can pierce through even the thickest layers of our karma and activate our Buddha Nature (enlightened state). We’re then able to summon forth the wisdom needed to challenge, overcome and change our negative circumstances into positive ones. It brings forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that is preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we truly are, regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexual preference. We are also able to see and understand our circumstances and environment more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations.
    Actual proof soon becomes apparent to anyone who chants the words Nam-myoho-renge-kyo on a regular daily basis. Everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect, so the strength of the result from chanting depends on dedication, sincerity and determination. To explain it more simply, the difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a song and so on.
    NB: There are frightening, disturbing sounds and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It's the emotional result from any sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day you are producing a sound vibration that is the password to your true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things, such as your fears and desires etc. The important way to get the best result when chanting is not to see things in a conventional way (difficult to achieve but can be done), rather than reaching out to an external source, you need to reach into your own life and bring your needs and desires to fruition from within, including any help that you may need. Think of it as a seed within you that you are bringing sunshine and water to in order for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s important to understand that everything that we need in life, all the answers and potential to achieve our dreams, already exist within us.

    “Death of the Author “ is nowhere more in your face than where people talk about Enlightenment (of Buddha or otherwise)!! You make it your own!!! And that’s the way it should be!! For, texts(everything is textural they say!!) have this metamorphosis quality!!! Especially with time (textural) texts acquire very different meanings and significances!!! It’s amazing that people are able to make something out of such an ephemeral phenomenon and realise something at all for themselves!!! Human mind is as much ingenious as it is disingenuous!!! Buddhism is so open ended that it’s ability to proliferate without loosing relevance is infinite and therefore continues to live on!!!

      If you are from India or travelling to India, there are many buddhist monasteries here, which you can visit - All of himalayan states have monateries, you can probably go visit the Dalai Lama monastery in McLeodganj, HP or go to Bodh Gaya itself. If you aren;t from India, I suggest you try out a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat, which teaches you the techniques of buddhist path to enlightenment. check this: www.dhamma.org/en-US/index
      You can select a location which is near to you and do this retreat.
