I traveled to China before covid 19 and visit Lama Temple in the morning in the fist day of Chinese New Year, There was so many poeple rush to the temple and you are very very lucky if you can enter the temple and pray.
Buddhism again has found it's way to CHINA. As a SANATANI, I love it. BUDDHISM was spread from INDIA to all over AFGHANISTAN, CHINA, KORIA, INDONESIA, SRI LANKA, MYANMAR, CAMBODIA whole of South East Asia.
Humans always have spiritual needs, neither dialectical materialism nor religious philosophies can address those. It might be through art, love, compassion, and asceticism.
Gosh, what an objectively superior religious habit. A great walled field, truly, it seems. I find that calling myself a Buddhist sounds and projects a lot better than "I am a non-theistic Christian." ✌🏼👋🏼🌊
Praying is not getting sure shot of the things that we WANT, praying gives a sense of hope, mental support and being guided. All the best my fellow friends!
that is what western materialists do not see, they all want a Net gain , more , consume. that is how they see prayer. they don't know what `Enough` is.
It is important to acknowledge and respect the origins of different religions, but it should not be a source of pride or superiority complex. Just like Christianity is followed by half of the population of Earth, but Christians don't claim superiority over others, similarly, every religion should be respected without any sense of entitlement or ownership. As an Indian, it is a request to all my brothers and sisters to avoid the attitude of claiming credit for the origin of any religion. Instead, let us focus on practicing the basic teachings of our respective religions and spreading love and kindness to everyone around us. For reference, you can read the Shree Bhagwat Gita and learn about its teachings, which emphasize the importance of selfless action and devotion to Iswar. Let us strive to be better human beings and bring peace and harmony to our society, irrespective of our religion or nationality.
Does the Shree Bhagwat Gita promote the Caste system ? which people were condemned due to their birth. Do you agree it is a inhumane thing which one human can do to another human. Forget the people from another country but to the same country man. I bet dogs have more principle than those believers when it comes to the caste system. Do you agree ?

@@antivirus8911 1000 years of invasion has caused it. Cultural records, religious scriptures and whole libraries and ancient universities were burnt by orthodox invaders.
The Buddhiat sages of India foresaw that Buddhism could not survive in India and sent many great teachers to spread the dharma. They saw that China would be the bedrock from which Buddhism can flourish. And so when Xuanzang (the Legendary Tang Sanzang) came, they passed on all their sacred texts to him. After countless dynastic changes, countless calamities the Sangha in China has endured, Buddhism always flourishes once more whenever China reaches yet another Golden Age. May Buddhism flourish once more as a new generation of lay followers take refuge in the three jewels. 🪷

To avoid misunderstanding: most of young Chinese are still atheists, but many of us still have the customs to worship buddas or other Chinese gods/goddesses, and pray to be belssed with regard to our study, work, or health. Because we believe no region, the young people shown in the video go to temples only because they heard others saying that one certain temple is magical and the dream is realized after they worshiped. If it does not work, people might never worship in this temple again, normally we would change to next temple to have a try lol. This is a period of graduation and job seeking, I have seen many Master or Phd students go to temples and pray that they can write out the paper and graduate successfully. I am told that several temples are magical, like Yonghe Palace(Beijing), Jiming Temple(in Nanjing, but people said lovers who went there would break up soon) and Lingyin Temple(Hangzhou).
Yep, it's most likely done out of hopelessness. If they were truly religious, this would likely be the *first* thing they do, but instead it was the last. I'm assuming the mentality is: "Hey, if literally nothing else worked, there's no harm in trying this". And if that doesn't work, they move on, never stepping foot in the temple again.
I think most are just there to pray for 钱 though. Chinese Buddhism is very interesting because it is so material and therefore so far removed from original Buddhism, but if it wasnt for Chinese monks travelling to India, so many sutras would be lost.

@@debalinamukherjee7197 I love the BJP Govt but I also have an opinion that BJP should take more of a "Centre Wing" approach & more Indians will love them.If there's love in the air, everything will be fine...............

As a Theravada Buddhist I believe that the Buddha can't solve our personal problems individually. Buddha has preached a way or a path to follow. If we correctly follow the path, then we can achieve our goals. Same time our previous & present karma also come with us & you can't avoid them too..
Like detaching oneself from all things?
Buddhism is the way of life
As a Greek, I am very pleased to see the Chinese rediscover the principles and their values and I hope that at some point here in Europe and specifically in Greece we will find our ancient principles again and values which we lost due to some invaders.
What is your religion?? Bro tell us 🙏
@@amanjha890 I grew up in a Greek Christian Orthodox family. But nowadays, more and more people are starting to see with a very positive eye the ancient tradition and the principles values of the Greeks. Many also don't go to churches anymore, and this is very much true. In fact, I have observed this phenomenon and in Iran where there is a rise in Zoroastrianism.
@@bitter_truth8646 yes i think some planetary effect happening on earth that's why people find there roots more infact this things r happening in india also people move towards sanatani culture more after covid and they read there past history they go to mandirs and try to be more religious some time before people r go towards Western culture and follow Western culture but now things r slowly changing but i dont know why this things happening all over world or is this just a trend or its serious
@@bitter_truth8646 You guys should also go back to your old roots. It would be great.
How I love that to happen. We in India preserved Hinduism somehow, praying indigenous cultures to raise again in other countries as well.
Lord Buddha teachings help to regain our strength and get mental peace
I am happy chinese people is becoming religious from non religious again. It was place of shenism, taoism, confuism and Buddhism.
Namo Amitabha 🪷 Whatever our nationalities, cultures, states or dispositions in life, the Dharma and seeking refuge in it can help us all attain happiness, peace and true success. Sending love and best wishes to all sentient beings for wellness from the Philippines 🙏
Indeed the dharma ❤🙏
Buddhism is the most greatest.
Namo Amitabha Buddha ❤🌸☸️✨📿
Nice to see Chinese youth returning to Dharma❤
It's Buddhism not Hinduism
@@charizard-Xwhich is Originated from Hinduism. As in India we see Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism as Sanatan dharma .so for us it is a dharma.
@@befaithful3671 lol buddha don't believe in Hinduism that why he make different religion and hindu have cast system 😂
@@befaithful3671 how buddismcame from hinduism? do they have same logic?
@@ALM746. Sounds like you have little understanding of both Buddhism and Hinduism..l suggest you read up both.
May all beings be blessed 😇
I’ve been lama temple once , it’s also known as Yonghe Palance. If u are interested in Tibet culture u should pay a visit . It was the a residence of Tulku and Dalai Lama in Qing Empire. The major Buddha statue was contributed by 7th Dalai Lama.
This is normal in india. We all become very religious before exams
😂😂
The difference is that the China pray to Confucius before the exam
😂😂
😂😂😂
@@helloworld5334Confucianism is not a religion, it's a philosophy. Confucius is not worshipped. Most Chinese are Buddhist, Taoist, or follow Chinese Folk Religion (which is a mix of Traditional Gods and Buddhism)
I traveled to China before covid 19 and visit Lama Temple in the morning in the fist day of Chinese New Year,
There was so many poeple rush to the temple and you are very very lucky if you can enter the temple and pray.
Buddhism again has found it's way to CHINA. As a SANATANI, I love it.
BUDDHISM was spread from INDIA to all over AFGHANISTAN, CHINA, KORIA, INDONESIA, SRI LANKA, MYANMAR, CAMBODIA whole of South East Asia.
Humans always have spiritual needs, neither dialectical materialism nor religious philosophies can address those. It might be through art, love, compassion, and asceticism.
Gosh, what an objectively superior religious habit. A great walled field, truly, it seems. I find that calling myself a Buddhist sounds and projects a lot better than "I am a non-theistic Christian." ✌🏼👋🏼🌊
Praying is not getting sure shot of the things that we WANT, praying gives a sense of hope, mental support and being guided. All the best my fellow friends!
that is what western materialists do not see, they all want a Net gain , more , consume. that is how they see prayer. they don't know what `Enough` is.
It is important to acknowledge and respect the origins of different religions, but it should not be a source of pride or superiority complex. Just like Christianity is followed by half of the population of Earth, but Christians don't claim superiority over others, similarly, every religion should be respected without any sense of entitlement or ownership.
As an Indian, it is a request to all my brothers and sisters to avoid the attitude of claiming credit for the origin of any religion. Instead, let us focus on practicing the basic teachings of our respective religions and spreading love and kindness to everyone around us.
For reference, you can read the Shree Bhagwat Gita and learn about its teachings, which emphasize the importance of selfless action and devotion to Iswar. Let us strive to be better human beings and bring peace and harmony to our society, irrespective of our religion or nationality.
Does the Shree Bhagwat Gita promote the Caste system ? which people were condemned due to their birth. Do you agree it is a inhumane thing which one human can do to another human. Forget the people from another country but to the same country man. I bet dogs have more principle than those believers when it comes to the caste system. Do you agree ?
No hate speech here.
We should seek inner peace despite of daily perils.
Better than riot or revolution.
Yeah
Buddhism is the real core and root of the Chinese people and probably the best and most logical religion of the world.
How I felt first going into a temple many years ago, disillusioned with approaches here around me, looking for other answers. Found it and now I am much happier.
It's nice to see that the youth is all facing the same problem of not being able to find a job. Though a little strange.
I think it's not that not being able to find job, but it's a universal concern among youths. No?
I love that young people still appreciate their religious side
Please be careful out there;
true Faith-religion-Creator

Right way to keep yourself calm.
As Hindu 🚩 and Indian 🇮🇳 I am very happy for awakening of Budhism in China

It's a Buddhist temple and not a hindu temple
@@Ongraus read my comments carefully, I am taking about Buddhism only,
@@Ongraus although the hindu gods do exist even in Chinese Buddhism.
There are 24 protective devas in china and all of them are Hindu gods.
Shiva is known as dazizaitian in china and is worshipped by both taoists and Buddhists.

It’s so nice to see more Chinese and African people go back to their traditional beliefs
What are you waffling about ? The comment was neither ignorant nor disrespectful. It never said Africa was a country
@@Angel_54195 I never said Africa was a country
I'm Roman Catholic and I decided to go back to it by being confirmed [confirmation] on June 4 this year. Had my first communion on June 28 2003. I did it because I felt bad about to doing it ages ago due to my brother and I being rebellious teenagers; going to a secondary [high] school 30-45 min drive away; GCSEs from 2005 to 2007 and others.
May hope and happiness come to all of us..❤❤❤
Not gonna lie. I feel refreshed seeing this (although I'm not a religious person)
Buddhism is the fastest growing religion in china.
May all be blessed with what you wish for. May China and all the world be blessed with happiness and peace. 阿弥陀佛🙏

Liked it from India, this is what ancient China was. 🕉 🚩🇮🇳 ☸ 🇨🇳
I think Gautam Buddha’s thoughts have been misinterpreted badly.
He says to find happiness and ‘truth’.This is what people do.
The meaning of Happiness itself has been misunderstood among them and they made it into a ‘religion’.
No education can ever cure ignorance.
Devotion and philosophy go side by side. Both are important for a faithful spiritual journey. Only regardless n rigid philosophy is not enough.
They means Amitabha buddha
so true , all people are slaves of happiness only some are aware the real happiness
Nope, basic of all dharmic ideas is that life is unpredictable.
You know Buddha personally 🤔
This brings me so much happiness.
Enlightenment is by the understanding of life that know what belongs to you and what should be given up.
It is nice to see the Indian religions coming back to China.
Buddhism is about self development…
Not about praying for advancement in career….
What a beautiful...scene..!.😊✨
Indian priests must be proud to have given such a beautiful religion to the world , Buddhism is seriously a marvel from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
But you Indians have neglected even worse destroyed its scripts and temples. Nothing is left there.
@@antivirus8911never, it done by Inveders of zombie religion
But Indians completely discarded it.
@@antivirus8911 1000 years of invasion has caused it. Cultural records, religious scriptures and whole libraries and ancient universities were burnt by orthodox invaders.
The Buddhiat sages of India foresaw that Buddhism could not survive in India and sent many great teachers to spread the dharma. They saw that China would be the bedrock from which Buddhism can flourish. And so when Xuanzang (the Legendary Tang Sanzang) came, they passed on all their sacred texts to him.
After countless dynastic changes, countless calamities the Sangha in China has endured, Buddhism always flourishes once more whenever China reaches yet another Golden Age.
May Buddhism flourish once more as a new generation of lay followers take refuge in the three jewels. 🪷
it’s nice to see this happening, many of the new generation does not know how bhuddism works (like me)
Dont blame Buddha if you did not earn what you want, Dont depend on Buddha to earn what you want,
you should earned it by yourself,
This is Buddha teachings, Buddha teaches us how to attain peace.
I love to know this so much ❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Bless those kids to find a job. It is tough particularly for those majors not helping too much.
Not only doing rituals, but practicing philosophy, following it is the main thing to get rid of pressure!
Buddhism sikhism jainsim Hinduism ohh what nation 😊😊😊
Jainism not a Hinduism , because their main consept is not eating anything
This is the best news I've gotten all week :)
All I want is peace.
Atheists are becoming religious, such a marvelous scene to watch
I recommend everyone to search and study about Buddhism in Sri Lanka. You will find great peace so fast .
May Dharma Prevail🙏🚩
Dharma?
@@pola5392 dharma is a basic principal of Eastern philosophy....
There are 4 words
Karma
Dharma
Artha
Moksha
I think you know karma
Dharma in English translate to religion but it's actually a duty or righteousness with culture.... for example a king' Dharma is to rule well his religion could be anything...
Artha means results or your materialistic needs.. like food,love etc
And Moksha is liberation from cycle of birth and death 😊
I hope you understand 🙏
Keep it up Jerry you are doing an honest job telling the world whats true. Thanks for your efforts.
In times of difficulty, finding peace in mind is so important to remain sane and continue striving.
Yes going temple times to times give me peace of mind. ❤
its beyond just religion. Its a revival of thousands of years of culture for many youth
this is refreshing
Is actually quite upsetting with parents that always pressure their kids
but life has more pressure after you turn to adult.
In a country with as many people as China, there’s lots of competition => lots of pressure to be better than others for jobs and education

Buddhism owes much to China: Kumarajiva, T’ientai, and other scholars helped develop the teachings left behind by Shakyamuni.

No matter how much you try ..Truth prevails.
Pray is better than abuse
Temple are better than bar
To avoid misunderstanding: most of young Chinese are still atheists, but many of us still have the customs to worship buddas or other Chinese gods/goddesses, and pray to be belssed with regard to our study, work, or health. Because we believe no region, the young people shown in the video go to temples only because they heard others saying that one certain temple is magical and the dream is realized after they worshiped.
If it does not work, people might never worship in this temple again, normally we would change to next temple to have a try lol. This is a period of graduation and job seeking, I have seen many Master or Phd students go to temples and pray that they can write out the paper and graduate successfully. I am told that several temples are magical, like Yonghe Palace(Beijing), Jiming Temple(in Nanjing, but people said lovers who went there would break up soon) and Lingyin Temple(Hangzhou).
But why almost every Chinese household i ever visited there is a Buddha statue or a poster ?
Same is with Hindus.
@@mrityunjaytiwari6224 He already said that becausue they are atheist.
Yep, it's most likely done out of hopelessness. If they were truly religious, this would likely be the *first* thing they do, but instead it was the last.
I'm assuming the mentality is: "Hey, if literally nothing else worked, there's no harm in trying this". And if that doesn't work, they move on, never stepping foot in the temple again.
Love to see people going back to their roots. It would be amazing if they start dressing in their traditional attire more often.
Love to Chinese from India
This is important ❤
It's competitive in China. You got to work hard n that society
Stay blessed . We are all together in this
going back to roots always a best decision. Jai shree ram🚩. har har mahadev🇮🇳❤️
Glad to see the original culture reviving!
I think most are just there to pray for 钱 though.
Chinese Buddhism is very interesting because it is so material and therefore so far removed from original Buddhism, but if it wasnt for Chinese monks travelling to India, so many sutras would be lost.
