Hidden Tibetan Buddhist Monastery | Our World: Return to Zanskar | BBC Full Documentary 

The influx of kashmiri Muslim's in Those area is changing the demography. The Muslim's mens are marrying Buddhists girls to change their religion , look at Kargil how is Buddhism is disappearing there + the Christian missionaries from South India are roaming like vultures to convert innocent Buddhists.

I do not think that Buddhism will vanish, there is just too much of it about.

The buddha himself declared that the dharma is gonna vanish for a time, this he made especially clear when his aunt begged him to establish nunnery, which shortened the time of the dharma even more. You see a lot of signs, people are gettin sick from their environment, sometimes too sick to practice dharma, the quality of food got so low as people begin to starve while their plates are full, water gets polluted by radioactive, in the more wealthy regions people are most of the time to distracted to practice cultivation with sensual dispersal like video games and movies, then you have corrupted monks not aware of the scriptures anymore but only learning from their teachers instead of the direct transmission from the buddha. Once this earth migrates further forth into the kali yuga the only people surviving are sitting in some kind of bunker or towns under the earth, cause of the heat and the extinction of most plant life on the surface, cleaning water with electricity, who knows if some real transmission of buddhas word might survive to these little places and if the people there are willing to practice or have "better" entertainment for their past time. if you want to cultivate then start now, as even this life is short and the dharma might only be born again in many thousand years after the extinction of our civilisation we have now.

Yes, here’s impermanence again 🥲 Bless these people and bless you 🙏

Indeed. Truly lovely people

That makes it so important to capture. As a time stamp before the changes!

This makes me incredibly happy to hear Eddy! What an amazing planet we live on. And how amazing you were able to reconnect. They are amazing metal workers in Chilling. Zanskar and the valleys on this trip is still the favorite place I’ve been. Amazing beauty and culture !

🙏🏼🌸

You are so welcome, I’m happy you watched this!

Reading your comment made me cry too

Plz discover more ....Life is beautiful to travel .❤

Remarkable story 😢

Me too😭

This is so well stated. And yes, felt the same when they were recognizing the photos. Very magical reconnections. Our world and landscape is certainly changing and agree, having these time stamps / postcards of this region will always act as a historical document

I can very much relate to your comment, and as a Westerner living a comfortable lifestyle now, but having experienced the devastation of World War 2, having limited fresh water, and having only one bath a week through a heated big pot on a fired stove, and so on, l know what live is like with lots of improvisations. I did not have a home with a bathroom till l was 30 y old, nor a car. l do not want to miss this experience, but l also embrace modernity, having a modest house with abundant clean water, easy cooking stove, etc. but the challenges have just shifted from having to improvise with little food supply, not much water, no car, no telephone, no computers, no TV, only radio to how not waste water, restrain oneself to not overindulge in using too much energy, not too much plastic packages, to having a small car with not using too much fuel, cleaning the environment, keeping the streets and beaches litter free. Luckily in my small community and with our backgrounds we do care about each other, and the environment, and we choose our way of life. Thank you for this with love made video about an ancient people and culture. I am convinced the road will bring relief, will make travelling, and transport easier, connect villages more. I just can’t see building a road negatively. Sorry. The young children must have opportunities to learn in schools. Education is important. My experience is that some young adults from villages, who have experienced the modern lifestyle in cities, do go back into their villages, towns, for a more relaxed life, and the love of nature, and helping to pass on, what they have learned. All the best for this Monastery, and village life, relief from extreme hardships, and gaining prosperity. Greetings from 🌏🦘🐨🕊from a German

I've been thinking about your comment - and little else since I'm in my seventh decade and wonder about the world we're leaving to the innocent. In the US, anyway, hate and the Dunning-Kruger effect are combined and metastasizing: I'm not sure our republic can survive. For all our flaws, we had a light once. Here's hoping humanity rallies to save our beautiful garden planet. Paz y luz. 🌍🍃🦋🔭🌙✨🙏💙

@@mortalclown3812 The question is will our civilization survive? Let's hope! History shows people pull together when the going gets tough. if folks would recognize a simple truth - divided we fail - maybe we'd start to pull together. That capitalized phrase I used is a prophecy I read a few years back, now I'm watching it happen.

All True 🦚

Indian influence and cultural invasion is taking place as we speak, political party flags fly on top of stupas. Greed has finally taken it's place here.

😔😪💔😭

I'm from Slovenia, the old way of life has disappeared in all but the smallest and remotest villages and even then, its just the old folks.

Completely agree !

peacefulness for sure! calming.

tutututuutut the sheep come "no food in the hand? hehe

Thank you boondock, I’m very happy you enjoyed this film. :)

They are the real thing up there. No performance.

They are the sweetest people

Thank you for watching! Happy you enjoyed!

Thanks Golden Views. That’s very kind of you

Thank you Asha!

If the road is not opened the PLA will come with its "communism" with Chinese characteristics and turn the Monastery into a military base and send the Buddhists to "re-education" Camps where they would be forced to prey to Mao/Xi Instead of Lord Buddha.
