[Psalm 135:15-18] "The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them."
peaceful and relieved? I feel scared and like in a horror movie lol... and why do u even worship Buddha? he was a good human.. why not worship god who taught Buddha all the good virtues?
@@kakakakakakakaka2658 well yes, looking back I guess it's not that good as an answer but idk. "Do good, refrain from evil and cleanse your mind, that's the teaching of all Buddhas" The meaning of life is to achieve the perfected state of a Buddha, becoming perfect and developing love and compassion for every single being that exists. Free from all delusions, free from greed, hatred and ignorance. And finally free from the cycle of rebirth and karma. And also to help others become Buddhas too.

BUDDHA is from India but unfortunately no significance memorial of BUDDHA here in India.. All Buddist follow countries have made a great tributes and show great gratitude towards BUDDHA and his teachings. . India should have make a BUDDHA statue near Ajanta caves or Buddhagaya or in the middle of sea. The tallest and Truely the 8th wonder of the world, the identity of holy country India. The great BUDDHA and his teachings , great gift to the whole world from country India... 🙏🙏
There is a another lord Buddhas statue; in Sri Lanka The Avukana statue is a standing statue of the Buddha near Kekirawa in North Central Sri Lanka. The statue, which has a height of more than 40 feet (12 m), was carved out of a large granite rock face during the 5th century. It depicts a variation of the Abhaya mudra, and the closely worn robe is elaborately carved. Most beautiful statue I have ever seen.
This comment is an attempt to clear the doubts some viewers had about Buddhas holy hair... Firstly, let us be clear that this is more a question related to iconography and art history than to Buddhist thought and practice. Secondly, I know of no serious attempts by Buddhist commentators or art historians to explain the spiraling curls on Buddha images. And thirdly, the Tipitaka offers no authentic information about the Buddha’s hair other than to say that it was black (kalakesa) and that he cut it off when he renounced the world to become a monk (M.I,163). Although it is not mentioned anywhere in the Tipitaka, we can safely assume that the Buddha shaved his head like all other monks. Depictions of him with hair, is an iconographical convention without historical basis. So where did the spiraling curls come from? The Lakkhana Sutta and several other suttas are devoted to the concept of the 32 Signs of a Great Man (mahapurisalakkhana), a rather strange idea introduced into Buddhism at a later period. One of these signs pertain to the hair. The relevant passage reads ‘Uddhaggani lomani jatani nilani anjanavannani kundalavattani padakkhinavattaka jatan’ (D.II,17). Word for word this means - uddhaggani = turns around or upwards, lomani = hair, nilanianjanavannani = black in color similar to collyrium, kundalavattani = curled, and padakkhinavatta = turning to the right. So according to the sutta, the Great Man’s hair was black and curled upwards and to the right. It was probably thought to curl the right because the right has been, in nearly all cultures, considered more auspicious. Being the color of collyrium is interesting. The Pali and Sanskrit word nila means black, blue or dark. Now collyrium as it is used in India, is made from the ash of fleabane, ghee and a few other ingredients and is a black greasy substance. In Mahayana sutras the nila gradually came to be understood as being blue. In the Gandhavyuha Sutra’s discussion on the signs of a Great Man it glosses nila as ‘the color of the vairocana jewel’ which is blue in color. This is why Tibetan Buddha statues have blue hair. Anyway, when the first sculptors made Buddha statues they tried to depict at least some of the 32 signs. It is thought that the first Buddha statues were made in Gandhara under Greek influence, and in Mathura, in around the 1st/2nd centuries CE. Greek or Greek-influenced sculptors in Gandhara, perhaps more rooted in reality, depicted the Buddha’s hair naturalistically as, not exactly curling to the right, but waving to the right. The first Mathura-manafactured Buddhas show him with a single bun spiraling to the right, something like a Mr. Whippy ice cream. The Gandhara style never penetrated into India proper and eventually died out. The spiraling Mathura style eventually evolved into many spiraled curls and the Buddha’s hair has been depicted in that manner ever since. -Ven.Shravasti Dhammika
Anurag Maurya Actually its Nepal, which at the time was apart of India. I think its because India has a low Buddhist population. Most people in India are Hindu.
So nice. Now I know where to go on a vacation. In Europe we also discuss if Jesus where black or white. Cant see why we should use our time to talk about things that is not important. The message is important. Not if Lord Buddha or Lord Jesus had blue or brown eyes. See further.
Longling Eriksen I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: Proverbs 1:26-28
