Buryat Volunteer Video

This was a video I shot in Buryatia in 2004 of a group who came from the University of Mobile to work with these kids.

imagine telling someone that their beliefs are wrong. imagine crippling a culture that is already rich and respectful in it's own ways. imagine claiming that they're "searching" for something? imagine preaching ideas that claim the earth is only around 6 thousand years old.

Imagine spending an eternity in hell. Or being guilty of not telling others they are in danger of it. I agree the culture of the Buryat is rich and respectful, but the spiritual life is incomplete and seemingly hopeless. When men and women are committing suicide in their villages or dying from drinking paint thinner something is missing. Thanks for the comment.

stop brainwashing! Buryat and Mongols believe in shamanism and buddism. We dont need your christian. WE Buryat mongols should keep our language, culture and religion!!!

This is a beautiful place! I wish I knew earlier about this project. It doesn't matter what religion you are as long as you are peaceful and respectful to others. These children need someone to broaden their horizons.

Going to hell according to your weird religion full of intimidation?No thanks I'd rather stick to Buddhism.Where nobody created me without my permission and then gave me two options:to believe in some Jew who died for me or BURN IN HELL.

ew that's horrible. it almost sounds like a native american reservation.. i agree they do need help, FINANCIALLY AND MATERIALLY TO IMPROVE LIVING CONDITIONS, destroying their religion is not the way to go. don't candycoat it and say you're enlightening them spiritually, coz that's the tip of the iceberg of intolerance missionaries wield. buryatia is the northernmost buddhist nation, let's keep their culture alive and unaltered!

Chrisitianity is the only option that allows for relationship with the Creator God and the Bible states salvation is found in no other name under heaven except through Jesus Christ. I would love to have an open and honest discussion about this as long as it doesn't revert to name calling and explicit language. Thanks for your comment.

PART II - The only thing I can say to your response to "Let the people be as they are! Christianity is just one option out of many spiritual possibilities" is if I am to take Christianity seriously, biblical Christianity that is, it is an imperative to tell others about Jesus Christ. Christianity is one option of many spiritual possibilities, that is true, but what is the end goal?
