Bodh Gaya: The Seat of Enlightenment | A Documentary Film on Buddhism & Awakening by MSN Karthik

[Music] enlightenment I would say is non-dual awareness you're an open kind of nerve almost and it you're completely awake and with that awareness and the awakened Asst you don't recognize a self or an other there's only the union of the two enlightenment is something that's beyond everything that you not beyond everything is calling near Vienna near Vienna [Music] today I came here to kondeh melon Pujols providing for world peace this time in our Danza Institute organized this world peace prayer every two years in this trend and so we and this then this time we are doing this prayer for Buddhism for me is not just necessarily a philosophy but a way of being and a way of interacting with your environment in your environment interacting with you in a very gross and subtle way but also for not to just kind of float by there should be you know moments of realization through whether you're sitting in blood guy or you're sitting in your living room watching TV every once in a while having an epiphany or something like this but you know as long as you are kind of moving in a forward direction on a path I think that's kind of the more important situation someone who has recognized the nature of mind and as established himself with his nature of mind has achieved enlightenment according to Buddhist issue so there is different practice according to school different methods tools you can say no Hindu a certain tools Christian tools Muslim tools in chest tubes enlightenment is the goal you know that in Buddhism Buddhist till yo I can see hero we would've considered Buddha is a man of Buddhism so he got enlightened from here in this place and this is the one of the most important place for Buddhist [Music] like the Muslims want to go to Mecca I think the Buddhists want to go with abode gaya and you know like maybe the Christians or the Jews want to go to Jerusalem something like that [Music] [Music] this is the place involved gasps where 2006 and it is before Prince Siddhartha he did meditation here under the Bodhi tree and here he got the Enlightenment here and he become Buddha here [Music] but he was born in Nepal in the lumbini forest and his father king shuddhodhan Mijares he was the king of Kapilavastu the Buddha being an ordinary individual saw a problem with the world in his adolescence he before that he was kind of very sheltered didn't know about any of the types of suffering until he went outside for the first time and experienced it he was born as a prince and he was living in the without knowing about the old people about that about the illness he wanted to kind of find a path that would remove that for everybody that they didn't have to experience that kind of suffering again and again and again and he recognized the deep suffering that it was because he had been maybe because he was so sheltered and it was a huge shock value for him to see anybody elderly or sick or you know dying or dead so for him I think that was you know the first stone in the water to make all the ripples so since he's doubling from Nepal you do mini I mean with a bad place to death after age of 29 he went to find truth and he came along he traveled all around the forest I mean when treating the period of buddha shakyamuni here i think these places were covered with forests so he traveled and he sit down there that you know would ET around 66 year and he find the truth and this truth is local Idol may be enlightened one good the job of knocking was to save the gelatine to Argonaut prematurely and Ragini redditor come on pick up a

[Music] so you see this big temples have this temple name is mahabodhi temple and total height of this temple 108 AP and 52 meters this temple 30 feet made by King Ashoka in 300 BC 2300 years for some artists will be rideable making up initial value to the client the Apple marina I'm sorry and here domine sweet bastard our interrogation judical mental vomit a goose at miracle Domino biggest water

Alexander Cunningham came here Lord Cunningham the British archeologist he excavated this place and he repaired the mahabodhi temple in 1883 destroy many times or just not really political reason it's permissible narrow-minded reason but the this place is everything for prison [Music] [Music] [Music] actually my favorite place in the world in this life is the Buddha Gaia I like most everything in the petechiae like marble making gold staging but the stager is incomparable state you know when you can find like this Buddhist state in this world it's magical even you just go inside look at the ham even you don't have the in faith you kids can't feel something the blessing you can touch the blazing inside even you no matter what kind of believer you are follower you are you just come here seated under the buda tree the almost sphere is very different different even you don't do or don't channel anything Jesus Sita under the buda tree you don't want to go outside of this temple like that kind of feeling almost per se you will get here before Jota in both our time many philosophy many ideas many things teaching but the Buddha teaches sir hardly the complete happiness so he showed many ways months life is a real man's life is very difficult if you so want to become mung means you practice email history the fact is quite hardly huh you have to practice a lot even for himself even if she was already an exceptionally [Music] [Music] my family was actually Irish Catholic but having met my teacher very young in life I did go to Catholic school and things like this but even then I was taking you know children's books for Buddhism to to Catholic school and things like this so even from then on it was quite well known that it was probably going to be a Buddhist rather than a Catholic actually coming in into contact with it on like a PBS special or a public television channel and the u.s. where they had a series on the Buddha and that kind of inspired me to want to go to the library and you know read some of the books that they had in children's section and eventually go into the adult section as time went on but even at 16 I wanted to be a monk and kind of had to make a promise to my mom that I would live a layperson to like first I for the most part I think it was better for it because you know got a job experience that kind of suffering you fall in love get your heart broken and things like this I mean reading in books and you know the most you can do is live vicariously through that characters feelings you'll never be able to empathize unless you actually experience it yourself you know that actually you know a can Tomas of the people follow up with the Buddhism since from existed from our parents so I can say that I became a Buddhist because of my parents once upon a time I was with it but deadly I'm learning to this philosophy and let's really I become a truly Buddhist now but this mean everything for me so actually you know Buddhists already kind of part of our life part of our goal but but this is already on my path my aim basically everything for me Buddhism change my life is telling a lot so before I'm one of the most equally powerful ego jealousy some kind of crazy love so by learning such things it come change my more life is very good I can see why born life is very good means that each and every person each and every human being needs happiness so in monks we don't have any tension about about our patterns I say marriage about our culture but we turn if any tension about this we're being as a monk is very happy mind it you know open-minded mind [Music] if people study and practice Buddhism they can learn how to meditate and they can learn how to practice ethical discipline and morality and patience and they can develop good qualities and they can learn how to have loving-kindness and compassion to each other and they can learn how to be honest and they can learn how to benefit beings and help help help other beings and not to harm i think meditation will help them actually in your many things not only help you mentally stable but also it helps you help physical health as well and Amity can also help you too basically to help you to maintain do you you know focus if you do properly in Corelli [Music] you talkin seconf enchilada revenge a type in the India gossips about a statue the activities that you can uncertain myself the Great Buddha statues for one thing it's never nice touch upon government manoharan over ninety eighty nine minutes opening and dilemma yeah straight to sleep an idea where he bought Bhagwan a silver stock theater easily is copper tema a secret cabin a girl international policy one levitate Managua tanga something aperitif an idealized to be it's like any pilgrimage place any theater you call this Indian law any character you feel at thousand thousand million of people have come here so it's grown with lot of energy and the merit of people the practice of the poor so personally to do your best it's very inspiring [Music] [Music] what do you think should be the role of Buddhism in today's chaotic world [Music] maybe a bit of a lighthouse it doesn't necessarily have any direct interaction it just casts a light on the world that everybody sees not necessarily to see it in the way that they do it but to remove any kind of ignorance with the world that surrounds them and it tends to remain there for most people's lives either through limited experience of never leaving a hometown or their own country but you know just being awake and interacting with your environment being very very open to it not necessarily closing yourself off or you know avoiding even awkward or embarrassing situations you see the whole world is Sam's chaotic world leaders quality Hughes and the important figures they needed to learn the Buddhism just talking about care more others understandable others put your foot in others shoes to understand others not only one nation or the whole world so then the but it's Buddhist message which said the men solution is insightful and the compassion alarming kindness I think this is a that they will help the poor not only one particular place or one particular religions it will help their whole you know the whole world you know the Buddhism here are many different traditions so all there how can you know the Harmony Li can gather in here and can chant together we thought even they don't care what they you know the nosy others makes his focus on practice wouldn't disturb others respect each other truly respected mother so this is a this is a the example for world can make leave like together it can take as a model in Buddha Gaia the petite gaya is the most or the holiest place in the world according petition because forgotten Buddha just enlightened they're under disability behind this pagoda so it's a where he enlightened fully enlightened it is we believe this with a not only this person but the but the thousands of Buddhist well be enlightened at this place and even in the Buddhism believe that in it and of the world but buddha gaya will remind so that's why we call the wager seat so it's an undestructible place with the neon naege a miracle-worker map now taking in the world integer a Java want a villa in a wagon will tell you have married her to measure what I am they are do
