A Buddhist monastery is facing closure in the Russian Urals. The land on which the temple sits belongs to a company who want to mine iron ore instead.
If the mining goes ahead, it could bring jobs to the area. But the monks are refusing to leave. Public opinion is split over the issue.

What that little temple offers on the summit of that mountain is way more valuable than all the ore that can be mined out of it.

Just relocate. Important to keep the Teachings alive. Buddha's Teaching is more precious than the gold mining and Buddhists don't attached to things. Our pure mind is our biggest asset that nobody can rob us of it. Just keep meditating. We are not a tree. We can move.

Buddha said " Everything happens for a reason." All the good and bad things comes into our life is because of our own action from the past days and lifes. So just accept it and detach it. Keep thinking, saying and acting good for a better future day and life. Everything we are doing, only ourself will deserve it all, either good or bad. Buddha had nippana 2500 year ago but he does still immortally exist. He still teach followers during meditation. Keep doing.👍👍👍 From Buddhist in Thailand.🇹🇭

I watch this video once or twice a week just to listen to the lama and see the actual practice of Buddhism. As stated the 'sect' is not officially sanctioned by any authority and how perfect is that?! You don't need a license to practice. You don't need anyone's approval or 'say so' to explore the inner self. I am regularly uplifted by this example of free thinking and community.

No attachment. But sadly it is remains only words for many instead of practice. Besides it is much more difficult to practice among every day people with every day challenges. Buddhists should not be hidden away from people but be among them to shine the light.

First rule of Buddha Club: Don't fight. If they must move, they move happily. Everything is impermanent. Also, seeing the "monk" lighting up a pipe shows they do not uphold the proper precepts (rules of conduct/morality) and so their Dharma Protectors have fled. The precepts are the foundation of the buddhist practice.

@konthaijaidee3035 5 лет назад

Definitely completely very true indeed. That's exactly a very important Buddhist's teaching. Nothing, even that Buddhist temple will last forever. So won't we. Sooner or later we will go. With this thought, the temple story is just another opportunity for us once again to remind ourselves not to attach with earthly or material things. Fault attachment is what makes reincarnation continues which is not what Buddism aims for. Buddhism aims to end suffering, and attain enlightment. Living in this earthly realm is suffering. And nothing here really belongs to us, not even our own physical bodies. Nothing here we can take with when we die, except goods and bads. Buddha showed us the path to the permanent place, we should waste no more time and begin to work real hard to follow that path to the very end.

Money may help you and your family to live for 5, 10 or 20 years but Buddhism and the Buddha's teaching may help you and people around the world to live hundreds of years. Money is not the ultimate happiness but Buddhism teaches us to find peace, the ultimate happiness. For sake of creating happiness, please spare that holy site. So people there will continue to enjoy their true happiness. Peace to everyone.

I am new to Buddhism. Even though this monastery is not registered to be considered a genuine one, it has been in existence for some 20 years. I do not know Russian law well, but they could appeal to the Russian Lama ( who is under the Dalai Lama) for recognition as part of the Russian Sangha. Buddhism is one of the recognized main religions in Russia. These people are genuine practitioners. I will pray for them. I also honor Mother Earth and Father Sky. The mountain is also sacred. Mountains generally are considered sacred places. It is a beautiful place to meditate, to heal, and to recuperate. To destroy it is a shame. May this small Buddhist community become the center and a blessing for the people who live in the nearby town.
