Art of Asia: Buddhism - The Art of Enlightenment

Having originated 2,500 years ago, the Buddha's teachings have formed the core of the religion known as Buddhism. Over the centuries, Buddhism spread from India into all corners of Asia. As it spread, it transformed into a wide variety of beliefs and practices. The art forms it inspired are well represented in the museum's collection.

This teacher resource video was produced in 2006 in conjunction with the Art of Asia interactive media program at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. http://www.artsmia.org/art-of-asia/

@krittmasta Having attained to 3rd path in the Theravadan system, I can vouch for the efficiency and precision of the 10-fetter model in particular. The dhamma can never be hidden.

To be very honest, this is the best introduction into the Buddhist philosophy by far. It states many facts, along with cultural and philosophical aspects.

Very nice video, thank you for the upload.

With all this knowledge, I still believe in Therevada. That's what Buddhism means, to follow Buddha. He is the one who shows the way to enlightenment. And yes, it's true, there're more beings that has already reach nirvana.

Greco-Buddhism, sometimes spelt Graeco-Buddhism, refers to the cultural syncretism between Hellenistic culture and Buddhism, which developed between the 4th century BCE and the 5th century CE

[qaplatlhinganmaH]

Greco-Buddhism influenced the artistic, and perhaps the spiritual framework, developments of Buddhism, particularly Mahayana Buddhism, founded in India, which represents one of the two main branches of Buddhism.The Buddhist religious system was then adopted in Central and Northeastern Asia, from the 1st century CE, ultimately spreading to China, Korea and Japan.
