What good it brings when you use deception on self and others … Tibetan people took great care of missionaries when they were in Tibet but they can’t take care of the gospel because there is no teachings more profound than the teaching of awareness into any situation . Which Shakya prince taught so perfectly.
One thing is that jesus himself did not come to tibet . The missionaries who came to preach about jesus came so there r depictions of jesus in monasteries. Many people think that jesus himself came to tibet but know that jesus wasn't s traveller or a tradesmen.
@@user-kd8xo5ro1z yes , I m sure he did not come there … it was almost not possible to come there . Had he came there , he would have hard time as Tibetan people are headstrong and would b nearly impossible to convince them about a creator god .
I’m a Tibetan living in Kathmandu. Tibetan Buddhist community live adjoining to Nepali Hindu communities. For decade both communities faced immense missionaries forces from Christians. Fast forward today most of our adjoining Hindu Nepalese have converted to Christian, once when there was not a single church today there are around 20 churches. But guess what not a single Tibetan Buddhist converted to Christianity. Christians can convert entire Nepal but Tibetans will protect & promote Buddhism ☸️ & take to west !
I would have assumed the same 15 or 16 years back until I personally came to know Tibetan christians in Kathmandu. There are Tibetan Christians with prayers in Tibetan language and christian songs in proper Tibetan language. The Tibetan Christians I know are not even just layman Christians. They are at Pastor's level. So, I would assume that you haven't tried to study on that side of Tibetan community. And, maybe it's also because they are not that open about their religion when they are among other Tibetan people.
As a human I think it’s just a one of many manipulative act of conversion the sentiments of local people….coz I have seen many churches build as per local religious and cultural belief to manipulate the mind of locals to accept the new religion…Colonialism has always used the religion as a first weapon to dominate the beliefs of people to rule.
Jesus Christ is God who came in flesh ,born in Israel to a Jewish family. He came not to build physical temples and didn't want him to be worshipped as idols or statues. He came so we can have direct relations with our creator God. He He neither Buddhist monk nor a Muslim prophet. He is the Living God who died for our sin and rose again.
Where did you get the information that jesus is jew? Did you study the genealogy in matthew and luke. Don't post wrong information. By the way jesus is a myth invented by the Romans No historian wrote about such a person not even the Romans in their political history.
And if he died for our sin what about the people before him and all the living beings. So they are leftouts ? I respect all the religions. Buddha, jesus, Muhammad all were the teachers who taught love and forgiveness. To depict them as one and only god is wrong. Learn from their teachings and follow their principles.

Exactly there's no way to use this term. They might have demonstrated it beautifully but only with Christian's ideology. Not satisfied with that term sorry.
@@Ryankien1908 hi, I see that you found it offensive and not to your liking. But I have not termed Jesus as a bhuddist monk, i have used the term "portrayed". I have said that he has been portrayed as a bhuddist monk and not said that he is a Bhuddist monk in himself. Hope I was able to clarify the same. The word to stress on here would be "portrayed".
An extremely desperate attempt, the last straw if you will, to convert ( dare i say lure?) the "bhotay" (using the term loosely here, as for even the locals of other ethnicities it is inclusive of all the people of Tibetan culture, i.e, Sikkimese, Tibetans and Drukpas) population to the Gospels. Then again, this structure may very well be the only one (in its concept) in the entire world. So, looking from that point of view, it's something that we as Kalimpongeys should cherish, appreciate and preserve.
@@gilliandarling9239 I absolutely agree with you on that. Jesus was indeed an enlightened being. Just a teeny tiny difference/disagreement between these two philosophies is that Buddhists acknowledge the past existence and the possibility of existence of a future Buddha ( because everybody has the capacity for enlightenment), whereas in Christianity does not acknowledge the "other Buddhas", and there is no scope or possibility for any future Buddhas. That is what I understand with the basic knowledge I have of Christianity.
@@TigerWang1101 I agree with everything you said, your accomodating attitude towards Christian ideology..and I think it's a good start towards achieving religious harmony, albeit everyone should have the same point of view. I however have to humbly disagree with someone dying for my sin. It absolutely and completely goes against core Buddhist principle of Karma. A true Buddhist believes in cause and casualty. He believes that he alone is responsible, and accountable for his actions. In contrast, a Christian believes in the all saving might of God. That if he/she puts his/her belief in this God, he/she will be saved (from eternal damnation I believe). This does not sit well with how I reason. I hope you excuse me for adding my two cents here. I really do not mean to be rude.
@@TigerWang1101 Thank you for sharing your profound experiences and your thoughts on the intersections of Buddhism and Christianity. It’s always fascinating to see how different beliefs can provide comfort and guidance in our lives. However, as much as I appreciate your attempt to find common ground, I must humbly point out that Buddhism and Christianity have quite different core principles. Christianity, for instance, is quite clear about the uniqueness of its path to salvation..it's not exactly known for being open to mixing and matching philosophies. I suspect that if you tried to introduce karma or reincarnation into a Sunday sermon, you might get a few puzzled looks, or worse, a concerned visit from the pastor! (pun intended). I also respect that your near-death experience with Jesus was life-changing for you, and I wouldn’t want to diminish that. But as a Buddhist, I’m more comfortable with the idea that we are each responsible for our own karma, and that no one, not even an enlightened being like Jesus can carry that burden for us. So, while I admire your passion and your journey, I think we might just have to agree to follow different paths, each to our own "target," if you will. After all, it’s the diversity in our beliefs that makes conversations like this so enriching. Thanks again for the discussion, and for giving me some food for thought. 💐
It's really unique and story behind this church is unique..I m Buddhist but I wished I will visit that church. My policy respect all religions and I follow..all god or lords are same only no blood shed or help the poor.
I went to this church several times during my stay in kalimpong as a student...never knew this..how ignorant was I. This is a wonderful video..absolutely loved it.
As a my viewpoint Christen is not religion its one of the Missionaries path and foundation of income source money for god son.. Who were saw nowadays.. There 😅😅

Buddhism is much better. Buddha is much higher. Jesus is only a disciple monk. He came to learn and taught and he returned to Palestine and Judea. His later followers made him God.

If God is all powerful all knowing then he wouldn't care what religion we follow or don't follow we are all equal in the eyes of God. If he is the creator of everything from stars galaxies to the tinest living being out there. Why would he care what religion we follow on a planet size of an atom compared to the vastness of the universe. What do you think?
@@LakpaSherpa-y3f We are all Stardust...that is what I believe....and I also believe...that like u mentioned....in galaxies and so forth...where do we stand? We are but a miniscule being in the vastness that exists .... What is the guarantee that the consciousness that we possess is even ours to claim.... I believe that the biggest truth of life is actually death! That if there is any waking up....it might be that..... Thinking like this...makes one feel that all that we see around and fight for something that we believe to be ours...all but a mirage ..that actual truth is far from what we actually see or believe it to be .... Talking about religion.... Man....that is one serious topic.... On that front...I feel... religion is just another form of tribalism....every tribe has its own god.... And looking at all the mainstream religions from that angle makes things a lot more simple... We all but tribes telling each other that my god is better than yours.
Don't u feel that PPL would convert their religion from buddism to Christianity by seeing their culture in christianity.like in kerela they make church like Hindu temple because so that those Hindus will relate there culture n will be easier to influence them to Christianity...soft conversion
Not only in a Tibetan Buddhist culture if you look for the history of Catholic Christianity they had already made their Churchs and Gods in each an every native mythology around the world.
this church was basically a bait in plain words. lol. tibetans are mostly buddhist and one of the sole stances in buddhism is to not believe God as a creator, moreover gods are considered to have sufferings too. So that reason seems to have led missionaries to their direct failure. Buddhism in general tend to have more flexibility in terms of questioning n doubt clearance. Its not like what has written in holy scripts n texts are final to all the followers.
Tibet did not become Buddhist until around 600 years after Jesus died . Jesus may very well have studied Buddhism in his lost years but he was not a TIBETAN Buddhist . However Jesus is regarded as a Buddha by most Tibetan Buddhists.
No way. Thats a wild take. Buddhist dont like to diss or take credit elsewhere like like the rest religion do. Calling every other great personality their own god's avatar. Jesus is Jesus. Buddha is buddha. Buddha came earlier than jesus. if what u said is true. Jesus wouldnt be mentioning GOD as the ultimate saviour. There's no such as saviour in buddhism. it is rather ur own responsibility. But u may still say whatever u want. Ur wish.
Buddhism existed in Tibet since the days of Emperor Ashoka when he sent monks there in 200’sBC. Buddhism did not become an [official state religion] until the 600’sAD. Geography is also important. The region of Ladakh is where ‘Jesus’ went for his studies, this region was first to become Buddhism long before Lhasa due to its proximity to Greco-Buddhist Kingdoms of Bactria, Bamiya, and Gandhara. Kabul Afghanistan and Anuradpura Sri Lanka were the Medina and Mecca of their time. That said, the historical Jesus is King Izates II, the ‘Izas Manu IV’ of Edessa/Osorene. His twin brother Judas (St. Thomas) was often conflated with him. Izates/Jesus was the warrior, while Judas/Thomas was the healer. Izates/Jesus was defeated by Titus, crucified, survived with the help of Joesphus, then exiled to Britannia by Emepror Vespasian. During this expulsion Judas/Thomas made his way to Malabar India and then Anuradpura Sri Lanka where he established re-established the House of Essenes. This would later evolve into the Nestorian Monastery which was then absorbed into the Assyrian Orthodoxy by 400’sAD. While Judas/Thomas went to India in his later years, it’s not certain of Izates/Jesus did in his younger years as the two individuals stories were conflated. It is possible that, as heir to King, he will have advanced studies occuring outside of the Kingdom. Either Izates or Judas studied at the Re-Atum school of Energy at Heliopolis, upon which they were initiated as a Twice Born in the Kings Chamber of Giza during a [3] day ritual. After which he was instructed to go to Ladakh to complete his training. It’s possible that this may have been Izates/Jesus himself, but it’s also likely that it was Judas/Thomas. In any case. Neither of them have anything to do with early Chrisitans nor modern Christianity. Early chrisitans were the work of Jospehus after the collapse of the 2nd Temple. Modern Christianity is Imperial Rome turned into a Church:
Nothing is as nonsense as hinlunds trying to encompass every natural formations even in tribal lands. The moment they heard about it, they try to grab that place. Cheeh!

Not even 1% does it make sense. You don't even know about Jesus Christ of Nazareth.😂 This hindu, bhuddist muslim, and Christian has nothing to do with Jesus. He came to fulfilled the prophecy in Torah and to gather all human being together with the Father or to Him.
Lord Jesus is the only Way, Truth and Life. In him we get eternal life.. We have to follow him according to true living words from the Holy Bible. We only have to trust him and accept him in our life as our Savior as he is our Savior, to get eternal life. There are some false preaching regarding Lord Jesus in many places so we have to be very alert...we always have to study the Bible.

That is what I understand with the basic knowledge I have of Christianity.
@@TigerWang1101 I agree with everything you said, your accomodating attitude towards Christian ideology..and I think it's a good start towards achieving religious harmony, albeit everyone should have the same point of view. I however have to humbly disagree with someone dying for my sin. It absolutely and completely goes against core Buddhist principle of Karma. A true Buddhist believes in cause and casualty. He believes that he alone is responsible, and accountable for his actions. In contrast, a Christian believes in the all saving might of God. That if he/she puts his/her belief in this God, he/she will be saved (from eternal damnation I believe). This does not sit well with how I reason. I hope you excuse me for adding my two cents here. I really do not mean to be rude.
@@TigerWang1101 Thank you for sharing your profound experiences and your thoughts on the intersections of Buddhism and Christianity. It’s always fascinating to see how different beliefs can provide comfort and guidance in our lives. However, as much as I appreciate your attempt to find common ground, I must humbly point out that Buddhism and Christianity have quite different core principles. Christianity, for instance, is quite clear about the uniqueness of its path to salvation..it's not exactly known for being open to mixing and matching philosophies. I suspect that if you tried to introduce karma or reincarnation into a Sunday sermon, you might get a few puzzled looks, or worse, a concerned visit from the pastor! (pun intended). I also respect that your near-death experience with Jesus was life-changing for you, and I wouldn’t want to diminish that. But as a Buddhist, I’m more comfortable with the idea that we are each responsible for our own karma, and that no one, not even an enlightened being like Jesus can carry that burden for us. So, while I admire your passion and your journey, I think we might just have to agree to follow different paths, each to our own "target," if you will. After all, it’s the diversity in our beliefs that makes conversations like this so enriching. Thanks again for the discussion, and for giving me some food for thought. 💐
Missionaries cannot be trusted
It's really unique and story behind this church is unique..I m Buddhist but I wished I will visit that church. My policy respect all religions and I follow..all god or lords are same only no blood shed or help the poor.
Propaganda

nice way of conversion. Jesus even didn't knew about this part of world
Dhanya bhannai parchha. Nepali mandirko saili ko apaman bhaena ra? Dosro bhikchhu lai ke sandesh dieko? Ko khusi hune bhayo hola?
I went to this church several times during my stay in kalimpong as a student...never knew this..how ignorant was I. This is a wonderful video..absolutely loved it.
Thank you so much sir 🙏. A small town like kalimpong... definitely has its own little gems.
As a my viewpoint Christen is not religion its one of the Missionaries path and foundation of income source money for god son.. Who were saw nowadays.. There 😅😅
Thanks for showing your cluelessness.
Awesome piece of work. Such a unique church and yet i have not seen anybody talking about it. I am glad that i got to know about this and thanks to SILK ROUTE PRODUCTIONS for making such an amazing video. Would love to visit this place on my next trip to Kalimpong 😃😃
Thank you for the love and kind words 🙏
Hahah😂
Jesus also knew that Buddhist religion is better❤️
Lolz
Buddhism is much better. Buddha is much higher. Jesus is only a disciple monk. He came to learn and taught and he returned to Palestine and Judea. His later followers made him God.
@@johnchow you're wrong in my opinion, Buddha was born a human lived a human life and died like human, Jesus was born in a human way but from a virgin woman, he lived doing miracles, killed and rise from death.

Greed is the cause of all problems. Greed will destroy the greedy. Everything is do not know blind believe in authority is the greatest enemy of truth. Actually poor nepalis uneducated people and some Tibetan people do not know.only waiting money from other hard workers people. But one days spit it out🌹📢🌎😜
So true
Very well directed and written. Also the voice over was very soothing and clear 👌🏻
Thank you 🙏

If God is all powerful all knowing then he wouldn't care what religion we follow or don't follow we are all equal in the eyes of God. If he is the creator of everything from stars galaxies to the tinest living being out there. Why would he care what religion we follow on a planet size of an atom compared to the vastness of the universe. What do you think?
@@LakpaSherpa-y3f We are all Stardust...that is what I believe....and I also believe...that like u mentioned....in galaxies and so forth...where do we stand? We are but a miniscule being in the vastness that exists .... What is the guarantee that the consciousness that we possess is even ours to claim.... I believe that the biggest truth of life is actually death! That if there is any waking up....it might be that..... Thinking like this...makes one feel that all that we see around and fight for something that we believe to be ours...all but a mirage ..that actual truth is far from what we actually see or believe it to be .... Talking about religion.... Man....that is one serious topic.... On that front...I feel... religion is just another form of tribalism....every tribe has its own god.... And looking at all the mainstream religions from that angle makes things a lot more simple... We all but tribes telling each other that my god is better than yours.
Don't u feel that PPL would convert their religion from buddism to Christianity by seeing their culture in christianity.like in kerela they make church like Hindu temple because so that those Hindus will relate there culture n will be easier to influence them to Christianity...soft conversion
Nice short video of our church.thank you Bhai
Thank u very much... Really worked on this one... And thank you for your immense contribution. 🙏
Not only in a Tibetan Buddhist culture if you look for the history of Catholic Christianity they had already made their Churchs and Gods in each an every native mythology around the world.
this church was basically a bait in plain words. lol. tibetans are mostly buddhist and one of the sole stances in buddhism is to not believe God as a creator, moreover gods are considered to have sufferings too. So that reason seems to have led missionaries to their direct failure. Buddhism in general tend to have more flexibility in terms of questioning n doubt clearance. Its not like what has written in holy scripts n texts are final to all the followers.
Tibet did not become Buddhist until around 600 years after Jesus died . Jesus may very well have studied Buddhism in his lost years but he was not a TIBETAN Buddhist . However Jesus is regarded as a Buddha by most Tibetan Buddhists.
No way. Thats a wild take. Buddhist dont like to diss or take credit elsewhere like like the rest religion do. Calling every other great personality their own god's avatar. Jesus is Jesus. Buddha is buddha. Buddha came earlier than jesus. if what u said is true. Jesus wouldnt be mentioning GOD as the ultimate saviour. There's no such as saviour in buddhism. it is rather ur own responsibility. But u may still say whatever u want. Ur wish.
@@GellyGe3666 buddha means enlightened ... not here to argue sematics
Buddhism existed in Tibet since the days of Emperor Ashoka when he sent monks there in 200’sBC. Buddhism did not become an [official state religion] until the 600’sAD.
Geography is also important. The region of Ladakh is where ‘Jesus’ went for his studies, this region was first to become Buddhism long before Lhasa due to its proximity to Greco-Buddhist Kingdoms of Bactria, Bamiya, and Gandhara. Kabul Afghanistan and Anuradpura Sri Lanka were the Medina and Mecca of their time.
That said, the historical Jesus is King Izates II, the ‘Izas Manu IV’ of Edessa/Osorene. His twin brother Judas (St. Thomas) was often conflated with him. Izates/Jesus was the warrior, while Judas/Thomas was the healer.
Izates/Jesus was defeated by Titus, crucified, survived with the help of Joesphus, then exiled to Britannia by Emepror Vespasian. During this expulsion Judas/Thomas made his way to Malabar India and then Anuradpura Sri Lanka where he established re-established the House of Essenes. This would later evolve into the Nestorian Monastery which was then absorbed into the Assyrian Orthodoxy by 400’sAD.
While Judas/Thomas went to India in his later years, it’s not certain of Izates/Jesus did in his younger years as the two individuals stories were conflated. It is possible that, as heir to King, he will have advanced studies occuring outside of the Kingdom.
Either Izates or Judas studied at the Re-Atum school of Energy at Heliopolis, upon which they were initiated as a Twice Born in the Kings Chamber of Giza during a [3] day ritual. After which he was instructed to go to Ladakh to complete his training. It’s possible that this may have been Izates/Jesus himself, but it’s also likely that it was Judas/Thomas.
In any case. Neither of them have anything to do with early Chrisitans nor modern Christianity. Early chrisitans were the work of Jospehus after the collapse of the 2nd Temple. Modern Christianity is Imperial Rome turned into a Church:

@@JohnyBarm don't cry...
Kalimpong is not a Sikkim bro correct this title bro
Father was very clever 😂🤣😁
Boddhisatwa not buddha
A faith blended with culture
For centuries, the European Church depicted Jesus as a white European. This form of cultural contextualization is not very different.
Wonderful!!
That is Sikkim you're pointing😅
Contrary to what the narrator says, it seems the church’s preacher is speaking in Nepali because his congregation is all Nepali people.
Dear Sir, The narration clearly states at timestamp 4:13, and I quote, "There is a mass every Sunday, conducted in the Nepali language, as this is the major language spoken in the region".
There is no creator god - Epicurus 300 BC
Buddhism believes that is no God.
Cristian people trying to take bhuddism title.s culture 😅😂
Short, crisp and the amount of detail that intrigues.
Thank u so much Abhishek 🙏👍🍻
It interesting looked his 6 years missing story shown he to being monk.
There are lots of buddhist monk who converted them self in to Christianity and now they use that knowledge of buddhist in to Christianity..i personally met a pastor who was converted from buddhist monk to Christianity and now he paint Thangkha in jejus thangkha..i have been to that church and i was so disappointed 😞 with it.more over nothhing is wasted..but looks deceiving to me..

I live in Kalimpong, a kilometre away from this Church and I am a Christian! This building used to be a monastry and was later converted to a Roman Catholic Church! And no, Jesus Christ was NOT a Buddhist! He is the ONE TRUE SON OF GOD!
@@asheshinfinite3766 Hey bro... This info on it being a monastery before is really intriguing. Do you think I can get some info on the same? I would really be very interested. If you could help, I would really be grateful 🙏.
@@asheshinfinite3766 This is what upsets me. Monastry converting to church, killing our ancestral teaching and preaching without understanding its science and running after artifical.

How possible two different religious in 1 Temple..... omg 😲
Kalimpong is not the state of Sikkim brother.
@@nethub3455 everyone keeps pointing out that for me.... I just meant that region...not the location exact...that region that contains sikkim and darjeeling... I probably should have put the pin on kpg....but I just wanted to point out the whole region...my mistake.
Very well made and informative.. thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much 🙏
Good informative video but some mistake u may be clear keep it up
I did not like it. This seems more of conversion rather than preaching.
Now I know why Jesus isn't white
Influence of buddhism on jesus christ when he was in Tibet during his lost days
No records ever found of Jesus being in Tibet or india. Jesus was in Egypt during his lost years.
This is completely disgusting and directing to wrong concept.. kalimpong is in West Bengal....This is looking like a propaganda Vlogs ..... To say about the culture..... Jesus is the culture and we should follow His steps not Tibetan.... For kind information
Namo buddhay. Im a chettri (khas). As i learned about my history, we khas were animist (Masto god) and buddhist before converted/sanskritised by the brahmins. My love for buddha is and will be forever. My chettru community has forgotten long lost beleifs and tradition. And i want to follow the belief that my forefathers did. Not some outsiders religion.
Also, i have read somewherr about this monastry. Dr. TB subba (anthropologist) have termed this concept as sedimentation. Check it out.
Thank you
@@Peniba Hey...Thank you so much for the reference. I looked up Dr. TB Subba and found he is not so far away. I have been curious and have been looking into the history of the Libuwan in the region of Darjeeling & Sikkim. I believe they are not talked about much but are of the utmost importance. I think he would be one of the right person to look up for the same. Thank you once again for pointing me into the direction.

Not even 1% does it make sense. You don't even know about Jesus Christ of Nazareth.😂 This hindu, bhuddist muslim, and Christian has nothing to do with Jesus. He came to fulfilled the prophecy in Torah and to gather all human being together with the Father or to Him.
Informative video .
According to the archaeological evidence of the researchers,who have worked in the life of jesus states that Jesus was a budhist monk

Lord Jesus is the only Way, Truth and Life.
In him we get eternal life..
We have to follow him according to true living words from the Holy Bible.
We only have to trust him and accept him in our life as our Savior as he is our Savior, to get eternal life.
There are some false preaching regarding Lord Jesus in many places so we have to be very alert...we always have to study the Bible.
A stupid attempt of proselytization. Inclusivity of beliefs and ideals is a misnomer for abrahamic faith. if you want to see inclusivity come to mahakal mandir in darjeeling.
