  • I think one of the HUMONGOUS HUMONGOUS MAMMOTH HUGE DIFFERENCE between the two that you should have mentioned is that one of them in Christian ( Ethiopia) and the other one is Buddhist ( Tibet)

    That is a sacred and PROFOUND difference.

    I hope your baptism was not just for "access" and may God Bless you.

    Thank you for doing this documentary about the little known but quite deep and beatiful Tewahdo Orthodox Christian religion.

    God Bless your documentary.

  • My whole idea behind this documentary was to expose the monastic life of Ethiopian Orthodox Christian monks to the world, in which the predominant view or definition of a monastery is a Tibeten one. I wanted people to first see the similarities and then discover the faith behind it. The western version of Christianity has changed people's perception of it and I would like people to re associate Christianity with spiritualism, humility and love; which is what it is in these Ethiopian monasteries.

  • thank you for the beautiful spirit in your video

  • I'm glad you enjoyed it. That's exactly the reason I put it on You Tube

  • JAH RASTAFARI SELASSIE I ! How deep & sweet is the voice of The Almighty...

  • I found some very interesting similarities btn Ethiopians and Tibetans. Tibetans drink tea which has butter and salt in it...and incidentally I think some Eithiopians 'sometimes' put butter and salt in their coffee. hehe...also Tibetans sometimes eat raw thin slices of meat, and I believe Ethiopians also do this sometimes. Btw frozen slices of raw Yak is very tasty.

  • Welcome Home to Orthodoxy "digitalethiopia"!!

  • Did the Tewahedo church always acknowledge Sunday as a day of worship? If not when was it introduced?

  • @altf4dustin we are not muslims if anything islams borrowed heavily from us . i was just baptised into the Tewahedo orthodox Christian faith. ours is the oldest of the Christian tradition along with the Coptic (egyptian) Syrian, Armeinian Indian and Palistinian Orthodox churches.we are all the closest as far as the original church (traditionally speaking) is concerned our traditions are from 33ad on.

  • @geeker4history begenna is the instrument

  • Thanks it seems similar to King David's Harp.

  • we call it Begena, most used in the Orthodox Church.

  • What is the musical instrument called?
