From the very start, the Buddhist religion has always been paired with a monarch. This has always been the nature of Buddhism because Buddhism teaches to look inward to improve yourself and not to be aggressive toward others. As a non-aggressive religion, it is necessary to have a monarch who will protect and fight for the religion. That is why it is no surprise that when the monarchies fall, so will Buddhism.
I always wondered why the stories from the old time always associated with the monarch. They are there for reasons and for protection. I think religions and monarchies have something in common and it's the belief of the commoners.
I think monarchies are not needed for buddhism to flourish. If Christanity can flourish without it so can buddhism. Its just that the state should a secular and democratic ideology.
There is a great story in the video. Which has became true by now. But you guys are loitering around some nonsense. Buddha was right. Nowadays people are so foolish so that they cant see the truth.
After watching the Prophecy Jataka Tales which is happening right now in this era.I wonder how to find true Buddhist teachers, Guru's and how to handle these 16 things.
You can escape these 16 things by adopting pancha sila (morality) ,Buddha knowledge from tipitaka ( pragya) and samadhi ( meditation) from Goenka Vipassana or Burma Vipassana courses
🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🌿🌿🌹🌹🌿🌿 Loved the 3 parts of this story. I had seen it in Myanmar, displayed as a series of pictures with script, in the pagoda at a giant reclining Buddha in Yangon. It was a delight to hear it on this animation.
I have learned from this story that we are already in the far and distant future and that any further would be an apocalypse if morality, right conduct, speech and cultivation of mind is not revived and maintained again as in the buddha's days.
A lot of these predictions have come true. The sixteenth dream is also true. Moanarchy has been wiped out in most of the world. I really don't think it's bad by any means. Bhutan can be considered as one rare country were king is beloved. North Korea is also there but we know what's happening there.
I think these predictions were bound to happen but not necessarily meant bad or good, it depends on interpretation as well. Like the 16th dream, it isn't necessarily bad, it was just a prediction.
