Being born ……. growing old ….. death and rebirth. This is the cycle of suffering that The Buddha wanted to find a solution for. To do this he left the life of a prince and went into the world …. travelling ….. meditating ….. undertaking great hardship … and finally gaining enlightenment under the cool shades of a Bodhi tree. The Buddha began the life of a teacher and a Master with his first discourse in Sarnath. People were so moved by his words that they came in large numbers to listen to him and many of them became monks in the order. And with this the first Buddhist “sangha” was formed. Often The Buddha was asked how a person could ensure a “good birth” so that his quest for “knowledge” can continue without a break. The Buddha said that, those who seek with conviction, should visit Lumbini, the place of his birth …….. Bodhgaya, where he got enlightenment …… Sarnath, the place of his first discourse and Kushinagar, the place where he attained Parinirvana. So the practice of visiting the holy sites became a tradition and many who stayed in the monasteries nearby have gained enlightenment.............

Bodh Gaya, the very place where the historical Buddha attained complete enlightenment. Every year, Buddhist pilgrims around the world would congregate at this sacred ground to venerate the Buddha. Throughout the past two thousand five hundred years, Bodh Gaya had been under the meticulous care and patronage of many royal dynasties, but it had also been subjected to the ravages of nature and human action. The Mahabodhi Monastery in Bodh Gaya was gazetted as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2002. This documentary will bring you through the lens of time on a magical journey to Bodh Gaya. #BodhGaya #Mahabodhitemple #Buddhism #Buddha #WorldHeritageSite #Enlightenment #karmapa #Vesak #SakaDawa #Bodhitree #Buddhagaya #菩提伽耶 #AlexanderCunningham #Dharmapala #Ashoka

Bringing the largest Buddhist Temple to cyber space.

Everyone is trying to understand how the Ellora caves were built, cut out of the rocks, without the use of ‘modern’ technology it is a construction that we would be hard pressed to replicate today. This new, never before seen documentary will look closely at this intricate temple and suggest—as have many archaeologists—that thousands of years ago, ancient cultures were far more advanced than some scholars are crediting them for. What baffles experts is their incredible precision and design. It seems very plausible that whoever built these fascinating cave may have been using an unknown advanced ancient technology. Cave 16, the magnificent Kailasa Temple, and is notable for being the largest monolithic structure in the world that was carved out of a single piece of rock!

By the end of this video, I hope you will agree with me that our history is completely wrong, and that this temple was built by a very advanced civilization. What is so special about this temple? This temple was not constructed by adding stone blocks, but an entire mountain was carved to create this temple. This is the only example in the whole world where a mountain was cut out from the top, to create a structure. In all the other temples and caves, even in Ellora and the rest of the world, the rock was cut from the front and carved as they went along. The whole world has followed a rock cutting technique called "cut-in monolith" while Kailasa temple is the only one that has used the exact opposite technique called "cut-out monolith". To see why this rock cutting technique is so different, let's take a look at this pillar that is over 100 feet tall. See how small human beings look when compared to this pillar. Normally, to create such a huge pillar, it would take years of work, carving accurately on the huge rock. But this pillar was carved by scooping out all the pieces of mountain around it. You can imagine the amount of rock, which has been removed to create this pillar. Historians and archaeologists are confused because of the sheer amount of rock that was removed in this temple. Archaeologists confirm that over 400,000 tons of rock had to be scooped out, which would have taken not years, but centuries of human labor. Historians have no record of such a monstrous task and they think that it was built in less than 18 years. Let us do a simple math and see if historians could be right. I am going to assume that people worked every day for 18 years and for 12 hours straight with no breaks at all. I am going to ignore rainy days, festivals, war time and assume that people worked like robots ceaselessly. I am also going to ignore the time taken to create intricate carvings and complex engineering design and planning and just focus on the removal of rock. If 400,000 tons of rock were removed in 18 years, 22,222 tons of rock had to be removed every year. This means that 60 tons of rock was removed every day, which gives us 5 tons of rock removed every hour. I think we can all agree, that is not even possible today to remove 5 tons of rock from a mountain, every hour. Not even with all the so called advanced machines that we have. So, if it is not humanly possible, was it done by humans at all? Was this created with the help of extraterrestrial intelligence? Now, forget about creating such an extraordinary structure. Can human beings at least destroy this temple? In fact, Aurangzeb a Muslim king employed a thousand workers to completely demolish this temple. In 1682, he ordered that that the temple be destroyed, so that there would be no trace of it. Records show that a 1000 people worked for 3 years, and they could only do a very minimal damage. They could break and disfigure a few statues here and there, but they realized it is just not possible to completely destroy this temple. Aurangzeb finally gave up on this impossible task. Note that this attempted destruction is very similar to another mysterious structure called The Menkaure's pyramid in Egypt. Another Muslim ruler wanted all the pyramids to be destroyed, and started his work from the Menkaure's pyramid. After years of trying, he was only able to make a small dent on the pyramid. He gave up too. Were all these indestructible structures around the world created by extraterrestrials? Is that why human beings are not even able to destroy them? In fact, archaeologists agree that Kailasa temple was created before any other temple in the Ellora cave complex. Could this have been built centuries before human beings started carving other temples nearby? Is this why the architecture, the design, and the size is so much better and bigger than other temples? If it was built by humans, it is logical to expect that the rock cutting techniques and design would become better over time. People would gain more experience and knowledge and make better structures in the future. However, the Kailasa temple is the oldest and the biggest temple carved with engineering perfection. #India #AncientAliens #KailasaTemple

It was the biggest cocaine haul in Russian history. Putin’s close associate, Viktor Cherkesov, oversaw the investigation. And then the cocaine disappeared, seemingly without a trace. A convicted Israeli smuggler suggested in an exclusive interview with RFE/RL that the drug bust ended up as one of Putin’s early sources of wealth. The cocaine scandal belongs to an era of Putin’s early reign that is relatively unknown to many. In 1992, Putin, then an unremarkable 39-year-old ex-KGB officer, found himself leading a municipal committee in his native St. Petersburg. Putin and his associates featured in various corruption scandals that frequently swirled around the committee. His committee men later went on to become key allies of the president and occupy influential government posts. This is the first story in a new series by @currenttime & @Радио Свобода that examines the beginnings of Vladimir Putin’s political career, marred by corruption scandals and scams even before it took off. https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-corru...

Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are fighting on the streets of Bakhmut, but the city hasn't been taken by Russia just yet according to the city's deputy mayor, Oleksandr Marchenko. He told the BBC that the city is almost destroyed, with not a single building untouched as a result of the conflict. Russian troops - from Wagner and regular Russian forces - are believed to have the city surrounded, but thousands of its troops are reported to have died during the offensive.
