Mongol Invasion of Java

Fri, 29 Jan 2021 16:19:17 +0000

The Mongol invasion of Java was a military effort made by Kublai Khan nominally the great Khan of Mongol empire and founcer of Yuan Dynasty, to invade Java, an island in modern Indonesia. In 1293, he sent a large invasion fleet to Java with 1000 ships and 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers. This was a punitive expedition against King Kertanegara of Singhasari Kingdom, who had refused to pay tribute to the Yuan and maimed one of its envoy. However, the invasion ended with failure for the Mongols, and resulted in the establishment of Majapahit Empire as thassalocratic power based on East Java from 14-16th century.

Myanmar's Unifying Kingdom | The Mark Of Empire | Bagan

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 05:31:46 +0000

The Bagan Empire was first to unify the territory of present-day Myanmar under Burmese language and culture, that grew into a world-renowned centre of Buddhist learning. Host Peter Lee learns how its fabled king, Anawrahta, overcame the dry conditions of his land by taming rivers into canals and weirs which are still used today. As a bigger harvest grew his population, Bagan was ripe for expansion, and Peter takes part in the traditional elephant dance that celebrates a Buddhist pilgrimage of King Anawrahta’s. While the Bagan king wished to turn Bagan into a new Buddhist state, Peter heads to a sacred mountain to see the battle that unfolded between Buddhism and Myanmar’s indigenous animist gods, called Nats. It's expansion transformed Bagan into a capital of diverse peoples, who each brought their own in founding a new Burmese culture and identity. And the legacy of its temple building still lives on in a strong faith that’s practiced among the Burmese people today.

A New Buddhism

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 04:40:14 +0000

We will look at the Indian lawyer, economist, politician, and tireless advocate for social justice Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, his career and influence, and in particular his development of a new Buddhist path in so-called "Navayāna" Buddhism or "the New Vehicle". We will see how it differs from traditional early Buddhist belief and practice, and how it is aimed at improving the situation of the most impoverished in India and around the world.

Buddhism for the New Black Generation: by Anthony Amp Elmore Sr.

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 04:39:31 +0000

This Black Buddhist lecture “Buddhism for the New Black Generation” is the result of Anthony “Amp” Elmore’s 49 years of Buddhist practice. Elmore presents Buddhism and it teachings inclusive of Black history culture and language. Elmore makes clear that “Buddhist Wisdom” or enlightenment is never, never, never outside of your life, Elmore in an earlier lecture used the story of the “Wizard of Oz” as the example how Dorthy got back home or found that happiness was always inside of herself. The scarecrow represented wisdom, the Tin man represented compassion and the Lion represented Courage.
Anthony “Amp” Elmore in this lecture explains that finding enlightenment or Buddhahood means clearly looking inside yourself for enlightenment. Elmore notes that while Asians, Whites, and Black trained by Asians and Whites do not make Black Buddhist history a part of their Buddhist teachings and practice are not only “delusional” such practices support the concepts of racism and White supremacy. In plain and simple language Elmore make clear how could Black people accept Whites and Asians as your Buddhist masters when they themselves suffer for delusion. It is the case of the “Blind leading the Blind.”

Elmore encourages Black Buddhist to use 21st century technology to learn not only the truth of Buddhism Elmore encourage those who study Buddhism to learn truth and adopt science as a means of accepting any teaching, Philosophy or Religion. Elmore in this lecture makes clear that enlightenment is not about some Asian on a mountain meditating, instead Elmore explains that enlightenment means coming to the realization of truth, facts and science.

Elmore presents evidence of racism and White Supremacy and how White Supremacy Racism is a part of our society whereas we have 1. Structural 2. Institutional 3. Individual racism. Elmore explains that we Black people face unique challenges in our society and our Buddhist practice inclusive of our Black history, Culture and Language will help us to become enlighten and change regarding White Supremacy a major part of delusion in our society.
Elmore in this lecture points out that all of the poplar forms of song and dance in America were created by Black people and Black people should use this culture to promote peace in our world via using sounds of our voice to spread the Lotus Sutra. Elmore notes that Nichiren Shonin the 13th Century Black Japanese Sage explains in his writings that we attain enlightenment via hearing the Lotus Sutra or the title.

What Is Buddhism? A Brief Overview

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 03:46:51 +0000

Ever wondered what those orange robe wearing monks are up to? Today we are covering WHAT IS BUDDHISM and what do the buddhists believe?

Subscribe to the channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOQVrTkfOXvowfeS1-qZ4nA?sub_confirmation=1

There's a lot of confusion about Buddhism. Is it a religion or a philosophy, are they all monks or what?

Well, they follow a fairly standard religion that is of the belief that all humans suffer. And we suffer because we have desires. Buddhism is a practical religion with a toolset to help you remove your desires.

Through changing mindsets, meditation, yoga, and certain beliefs to follow, we can all reach that state of Nirvana where there are no desires.

I hope this video helps you to reach Nirvana or understand more about Buddhism. What is Buddhism, and what are the the beliefs that the Buddhists follow.

Why has BUDDHISM disappeared from India?

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 03:43:43 +0000

So, why did Buddhism disappeared from India gradually?

Should we go for the Blue Pill or the Red Pill? There are no easy answers.

But if you ask the Buddhist, he would have a serene smile on his face and reply, “All is in Order; let it come!”

We at indieA are going to try and understand the driving force behind such a philosophical mindset with our new Series- Buddhism Demystified.

In this video, we wonder why is it that Buddhism is no longer relevant in the very land it owes its heritage to. We are convinced that there are many concepts in Buddhist Philosophy that have real-world application even today.

There are lots of episodes coming up! Watch this space, and do share it with everyone! Spread the compassion.

Tripitaka and the First Buddhist Council

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 03:39:36 +0000

Recording the Buddha's teachings was perhaps the most important legacy left to us by the Buddha's followers of monks and nuns. The Tripitaka (its name in Sanskrit) or Tipitaka (in Pali) are a large body of the Buddha's teachings that were recorded after the Buddha's passing away. It was at the First Buddhist Council that the Buddha's teachings were first recalled and committed to memory. The Tripitaka (also known as the Pali Canon) is composed of the Vinaya, Sutras and Abhidhamma (or Abhidharma). These form the foundations for what are considered some of the most important Buddhist scriptures. There is no single book that can be pointed to as a Buddhist bible, rather there are volumes of teachings that are attributed to the Buddha, and you would need a whole bookcase to house them all. Fortunately, there is no requirement for a Buddhist practitioner to read the whole Pali Canon, and Buddhist literature is not limited to the Pali Canon alone, but they possess some of the most fundamental teachings required for a basic Buddhist education (namely, The Four Noble Truths and Noble Eightfold Path).

A list of Buddhist books I highly recommend reading:
