Jack, Buddhism have various branches. The one u find in Bhutan is tantric buddhism. So, the form of Therevada Buddhism that u find in places like Thailand, Sri Lanka where only Buddha is worshipped is not the case in Bhutan, Tibet, Nepal and northern India. In Bhutan Guru Rimpoche (second Buddha) is believed to have brought Buddhism in Bhutan, so he takes the centre stage. But yes, rest everything is based on the teachings of Buddha, people worship both Buddha and Guru Rimpoche.

Also, History tells us Buddhism Originated in India & Lord Buddha was born in Nepal. Buddhism was brought to Bhutan via Tibet & sometimes India/Pakistan. And Bhutan does have its own Religious Architecture which is used alongside the "Nepal Style". Don't confuse these facts 😊

Very Nice, Always enjoy your videos. Good to see you and Shophie together. Great to see the little monks learning. Buddhist is just like you said Jack, varies by country. Buddha is just a teacher and you pray for understanding and enlightenment.
Ever since then you visited our country I have been watching your vlogs so it always touched my heart. Therefore, I hope to see you very soon for your next visit and you are an awesome narrator so sanding love from the capital of happiest county Bhutan ... thank you for visiting la!. Will share about your channel amongst my friends.😊
What I love about the holy sites and monasteries in Bhutan is that most of them are located on high mountains and serene places and it makes us take a break from our daily buzzing lives to hike up there and really just take a fresh breathe and just connect with everything peaceful around. It’s so therapeutic 😊
Hi Jack and Sophia, I have been watching your vidoes since the day 1 you guys have reached here in our country, Bhutan. Sometimes i feel like i am exploring my own country through your vlog. So, Thank you for it. Now coming to your question about buddhism teachings and if you allow me to share my opinion on it. You must have seen the buddha statue in every monsateries you have visited. For us, the buddha is like a source of inspiration and we aspire to be like him. By following his principles and teachings. So that we are also englighten like him. Moreover, the buddha on the other hand means, the englightened one or the awakened one. But when it comes to praying, we used to pray to every Gods for their protections and blessings. Sometimes we used to pray to specific god because their speciality power. For an example, we pray to God Tara of Dolma for wealth in generally. And also depending on our own birth year, we pray to specific birth God. My birth god is Vajrapani or Chana Dorjee and i pray to him mostly. Although there are different gods with their own speciality, we believe in them and pray to them also. like you shared, there are different buddhism teachings in every counteries. The buddhism teachings might be slight different from counteries like Nepal or china. It might be because they follow different branches of buddhism school. There are four main schools of Buddhism. The one following in bhutan are Kagye and Nyingms. Even though different schools have their own ways of teachings and principles, at the end we pray to same god. It is like solving same question with different methods or techniques. I do not know whether you are aware of it or not, if possible, we bhutanese used to visit buddhism monasteries which are in other nations like nepal, china or tibet, Sri lanks and india. Long story in short, we bhutanese believe that there is only buddha though they are represented different versions in different counteries. And i do not know whether i was able to clarify your doubts or question on different buddhism in different country. Lastly, but not the least, Thank you for visiting our country and your positive vibes about our country.
Lovely people of Bhutan!!! ❤ That's one reason I prefer as one of my top list countries to visit over those "advanced " countries with multitude of Karens 😊.
Buddhism is actually a philosophy.Your answer to the question at video time 5:05. Thank you for taking us here. I, as a Bhutanese, couldn't visit many places. Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm from Sri Lanka, and we practice Theravada Buddhism. All the teachings of the Buddha are written/composed in the form of Sutras. The language used is called Pali, which was the spoken language at that time (similar to how Hinduism's sermons are written in Sanskrit). Chanting Sutras is not the same as praying. We don't see the Buddha as a god, nor do we believe he currently exists. Buddhism is more like a philosophy or a set of guidelines to help us navigate our path. Therefore, whether we chant the Sutras/compositions individually or as a group, it doesn't directly influence anything external. It's primarily a way to remember the teachings. However, there's another aspect to consider. Chanting Sutras is believed to have a therapeutic effect on both the chanter and the listener, similar to modern music therapy. The tone, volume, pitch, and structure of the Pali words themselves are believed to be crucial for this effect. As I mentioned earlier, simply chanting Sutras is not what the Buddha emphasized. He didn't encourage worshipping him with offerings like flowers, food, or incense. His focus was on us learning his teachings, practicing them in our daily lives, and ultimately achieving Nirvana/enlightenment. There are many different ways chanting Sutras is practiced in various countries, often serving different purposes and integrated into their cultures. It's definitely not the same as praying to a god. In Buddhist literature, gods are considered one of 31 realms of existence, similar to different dimensions (though this analogy isn't perfect). We believe that praying to any being, whether a god, demon, or otherwise, won't help us overcome life's challenges. Therefore, chanting Sutras is seen more like a form of mindful recitation than prayer.
In Bhutan, the state religion is tantric buddhism or Vajrayana Buddhism ☸️ as Buddhism was introduced to Bhutan 🇧🇹 by Guru Rinpoche or Guru Padmasambhava. In Bhutan 🇧🇹 everything is inspired by Buddhism be it political policy. Every home in Bhutan has the artwork which also from Buddhism artwork. In Bhutan, Education and Healthcare is totally free for all citizens.
There are many that are confused about praying in Buddhism - as Buddha is not a god. Many recite mantras (like praying) to help gain enlightenment - and some believe that the Gura Rimpoche is like a god. Tara too. In reality there is not a "traditional" god in Buddhism in the same way with Christians and Muslims. Of course the Hindus have many Gods :). The foundation of Buddhism is the Four Nobel truths and the 8 Fold Path of Buddhism - the foundation of Buddhism, in the Theravada tradition and all others
Loved your vlog can’t wait to watch your next vlog tack torr lots of ❤️ from 🇧🇹 Bhutan ❤❤ why don’t you visit Phobjikha valley it is very beautiful place ❤❤❤
There are 2 types of Buddhism.. hinayana and Mahayana..hina means self and Mahayana means the bigger vehicle.bhutanese practice Mahayana..it's helping others to the state of enlightenment.
Hola jóvenes los felicito por sus videos, disculpa porque cuando te presentaste ante los niños, no presentaste a tu novia, pues ella va ahora trabajando en tus videos y es parte de tu vida y compañía, y necesita ese cuidado y presentarla, ante los demás, cuídense mucho. 🙏🏻
Buddhism practiced in Bhutan is same as that in Tibetan. Bhutan has two sects among 5 sects of Tibetan Buddhism or Vajrayana. Buddha is worshipped as spiritual teacher not as god or creator. Buddhist believe that each one of us can become Buddha if we put enough effort towards spiritual growth. In Nepal you find two type one that practice Tibetan Buddhism who lived in the mountainous regions and Theravada in the Kathmandu valley. Of course you will find lots of those Kathmandu valley mainly due to the presence of Tibetan refugees. Theravada is mainly present in Sri Lanka. Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos. China, Japan, Vietnam and Korea follow Mahayana. Vajrayana is part of Mahayana. Difference is due to geography. Vajrayana is followed by Tibet, Bhutan, Mongolia, 3 Republics in Russia and Himalayan regions of India and Nepal.
3.03 this is made of clay because they are just practicing. Actual shapes would be made of flour and butter. 4.50 About praying to Buddha. We pray to Buddha to bless us, help us understand his teachings, which will set us free from all things that keep us attached to this world. Actually Buddhism has many levels, teacher may tell some stories to the young boys about heaven and hell etc but as one gradually progress, one gets introduced to deeper philosophy like that of non-duality, impermanance etc
The magical kingdom who made 100,000 people refugees, nearly a 5% of its population. Wow, if nepal can do the same, it will be one of the richest. And some people only see out beauties but forget the ground that stood. No matter how much people tries to make excuses, i won't forget the truth.
You mean the country which sent lllegal immigrants back to where they came from. Nepal can't do that cuz those lllegal migrants came from their own backyard. That'd be like kicking a resident of a house from their attic to their basement. Wut?
15:13 That's how South-Asian people generally treat a White skin western guy. Such an colonial hangover. And this thing of the colour of the skin makes someone superior. This has to end.
Looks like you're projectile your insecurity over here! He looks like an Alien to those kids - I remember visiting Europe when I was a child and I thought I was on a different planet.
