Arnaud Desjardins - Buddhism 1

wow...what a fascinating world the ancient masters of Tibet inhabited...and how trivial and mundane our modern western world seems in comparison!

Thank you for this video. I think it relates to a video I watched Dharma Talk by H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche:20090703 Part 1, where he talks about the future of Buddhism, different types of Dharma teachers and why some teachers inspire us while some not.

If Tibetan Tantrism is lost, only a superstition is lost.
To sacrifice a goat to save a sick woman , is this not a useless superstition?
Chinese were right to chase those lazy monks out of the monasteries.
These kids shown in the movie, instead of learning something useful, are just mumbling powerless mantras.

The "powerless" mantras to be replaced by Powerful Chinese Communist mantras and made to feel inferior to Chinese and made to be loyal to Chinese Government, and forget about Tibetan Culture except if it sells to tourists. Sort of what happened with the American Indians in America.

The "healer" requesting sacrifice of a goat was not a Buddhist; he was a sorcerer. The video clearly states this. It also says "the Tibetan Buddhists don't appreciate this kind of confusion."

beautiful.

an excellent footage of the past.

I cannot find words to express my feeling. Thank you so very much.

Thanks for posting this treasures...it is a bliss full experience to see your videos. Historic treasures of the spirit.
