- Prince Siddhartha renounced the material world in search of enlightenment at the age of 29 years. He left the capital city of Kapilvastu and finally reached the town of Uruvela. Siddhartha attained supreme enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at the age of 35 years on the full moon night of Vesak month and became Buddha, the Awakened One. The town of Uruvela is now known as Bodhgaya and it has remained one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Buddhists across the world for more than 2000 years. Mahabodhi temple marks the place where Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

I love angarika dhamapala I attend the London Buddhist vihara which he founded and read a book on his life please more on him and recent Buddhist history
Thanks for sharing this and also for the suggestion !! Please stay tuned. He was one of the most significant forces behind the revival of Buddhism in India and in the restoration of some of the most important Buddhist sites. His impact can still be felt in every part of India.
It's very shameful for Hindus who want to erased Buddhism from India & want to develop it as popular Shiva pilgrimage spot. But as a Hindu I really feel the pain for same. Buddhism , TATHAGATA will be in our HEART forever.
@Sunil Kumar sankaracharia against bhudha.someone encroached bhudha temple...
@@AbdulHameed-iq6nx shankracharya was not against buddha and there is no evidence saying that hindus destroying buddism. Once whole india started practicing Buddhism then shankracharya came to debate with buddist monks and he won that's it. And plz don't drag shankracharya to debunk the real Islamic attrocities
Advidam
@@nikhilhegde43 he didn't win. He was afraid of the Madhyamaka school of Buddhist which is Nalanda.
@@AbdulHameed-iq6nx so says the person from the community that used canons on Bamiyam Buddha🤣🤣🤣
Buddhism is a humanity
Peace
Equality
Love
Respect
Happyness
Release suffering
Non attachment

Thanks for sharing your experience and for your kind appreciation !!
Thank you for this beautiful sharing.
I am glad that you liked the video. Thanks
There are still hundred of Buddhist temple and site appropriated by Hindu Mahant, there's one other Bodhi sattva channel which provide information about those lost site
Buddhism will never die it is the backbone of all human beings it is the universal truth and nothing but the truth not a single so called religions can stand up to this sacred truth the chathrarya Sathya
Adi shankar defeated each and every buddhist in debates using Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
@@ghs89 there is no wining or loosing for Buddhism neither debate if anyone is intelligent and have wisdom only can understand the philosophy of life for every living being
I visited the site some years ago. There is also another interesting story about the Buddha statue inside, and its predecessors. It was said to be replica of "The Buddha True Image". The story can be read from Bhikkhu Dhammika writing.
The absolute truth of sentient existence was revealed by Lord Buddha. The Maha Bodhi Temple and the Bodhi Tree are holy sites , symbolic of wisdom and enlightenment. India should be honoured to have had the Great Master originate His Message of Hope for the world on its soil, and grant total control of the site to the International Buddhist Community in perpetuity.
Great Master, Namaskaaram to your feet heartfully for the awareness and information about Lord Buddha. We are lucky to have sufficient and efficient explanation from you. Many thanks to God for giving opportunity to get the natural basic narration of Lord Buddha from you sir. Namaskaaram.
Thank you very much for this beautiful video! May modern Indian leaders have the wisdom to protect , rediscover all her ancient knowledges and historical heritages! Hopefully Indians of all faith will respect each other and acknowledge the soft power of Buddha Dharma that could bring peace ,compassion equality to humans, animals and to Mother Nature!!!
Very very lovely to see how MAHA BUDHI TEMPLE of LORD BUDDHA place in the BUDDHAGAYA REDEVELOPMENT to get full access to this days of pilgrimage to get to visit,n it's very important HISTORY. Thanks for your interest in Information about its previous history. May all be able to get knowledge and Liberated from SAMSARA of WORLD Suffering.

Thias is an excellent video. A very factful description of the Site. Much merits.
Thanks for your kind appreciation. I am glad that you liked the video.
A million Sadhu.
This is superb documentary to educate Buddhists of the history of this monument.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
They built up a high stone fence around the tree. When I was there in the mid-'70s, I could go and sit under the tree myself all night long to sit zen.j The fence was just three rows high and you could easily climb over it and go and sit in front of the Buddha seat and meditate under the tree. It's sad that you can't do that anymore, but I hope it will keep the tree safe from some of the crazies around these days! Thank you for this very nice short history of the temple and the recent photos of its current state. It looks beautiful compared to the 70s and I'm so happy to see the international interest that has been taken to restore, repair, and increase the beauty of the temple and its grounds. Im sure the sleepy little two-horse town of Bodh Gaya has really benefitted from this.
It’s to protect the tree. It can die for that

Namo Buddhay !!
you have not clearly mentioned last abbot sariputta ? sariputta got parinirvahana before Buddha.
Sorry for the confusion. They are two different personalities. Sariputta was one of the prime disciples of Buddha and as you have said he attained parinibbana before Buddha. The last abbot of Mahabodhi temple was also named Sariputra (1335-1426 AD). He left Bodhgaya and he spent most of his life in china, after spending some time in Nepal and Tibet.
@@BodhisattvaTravels thanks for the clarification!
This is not uncommon through-out history where invasions lead to changes of usage or religious landmarks/ temples. I'm sure lord Buddha would have no issues with sharing it's use and maintenance with the Hindus 🙏🙏🙏
Gautam buddha came to bodhi tree in bodh gaya because it was the abode of mahavishnu avatar sugat buddha.
Great videos. Just some feedback - would appreciate it if you could pronounce the names as it is. For example pronouncing Pala as Pal is an incorrect way of addressing it. Have observed this for many pronunciations of Pali, South Indian and Sri Lankan names. Please consider this feedback.
Thanks to the then British ruler who restored this ruin of Mahabodi temple in the late 19th century. Unfortunately Buddhism expired in India over 800 years ago.
Temple for whom Buddha is not God neither he is bhagawan he is the nature manifested in its fullest form the one who understood the essence of existence the completely enlighten one and shown the way to others the way out of suffering in this world one can't attaine liberation by praying Buddha or sitting near his idle it is totally against Buddhas teachings Buddha has shown the way it is up to each individual to follow 4 noble truth and 8 fold path to his own liberation from suffering
It’s the Yama, the devil himself, is the real creator of human suffering. The Lord Buddha just taught us how to defeat Yama, lord of Dukkha, sufferings. Destructions of the Buddha’s teachings, relics are simply meaningless. It will not eliminate your sufferings. Please study the Buddha’s teachings, the 4 Noble Truths. Thousands of smart and compassionate Indian who studied the Buddha’s teachings, attained enlightenment. Some attained enlightenment within a few months. When was the last time someone heard of a teaching that will make you, even more benevolence than Heavenly beings? I wish the left over should learn from their enlightened ancestors and get rid of Yama from within themselves. Don’t take me wrong, Hindu is a very compassionate, kind religion. Just Hindu believers who does not learn the Lord Buddha’s teachings, can’t get rid of Yama from within and from surrounding. Thus their sufferings continued. Loving kindness to everyone.
That's sad that they removed the image of Gautama and replaced with shiva....you shouldn't do that to an existing temple go build your own
You don't say whether the Hindus took over the temple forcibly or merely took over a decaying Buddhist temple and installed a Shivalinga. If Hindus did it forcibly, it was wrong; but I doubt that it happened that way. Hindus have great respect for others' beliefs.
a mother will never accept the wrong doings of her child, i understand!
@@isurudilshan7689 Hinduism is the Mother; Buddhism is the child. Remember, Siddhartha Gautama was a Hindu born to Hindu parents before he "became Buddha."
@@rssharma9 And the path he discovered has nothing to do with Hinduism and gods, but we respect hindunism coz at least thats not islam
@@isurudilshan7689 Interesting! You are implying that Hinduism leads to violence, but not as much as Islam leads its adherents to violence. If that is so, my dear Sir, read the violent history of Sri Lanka and how the Buddhists treated non-Buddhists including Hindus.
จิตสลัดคืนจิต#เราไม่รีบเป็นพระอรหันต์#การบรรลุมรรคผลของมนุษย์ ...
So the temple was built in the 6th Century by Guptas who were Hindus which explains the agama style architecture
Ashoka who was a Buddhist only installed a chair but did not build a temple
Without riots reconversion of bodhi temple from shiva to buddhist happened only because hindus in majority . You can't imagine this in islamic nation and even in non islamic country reconversion of mosques to its original non islamic form is not possible peacefully
China is now ready to embrace buddhism as its own by establishing nepal as the birth place of buddha and ignoring india, where india dont show any support for buddhism, though beings its own culture and with beautiful historical facts. Indian has to support buddhism and claim back its history as buddhism is now a globle religion practice by many people all around world and especially Asia.
India doesn't have many buddhists.
But buddhism will always remain an Indian religion no matter what. China and nepal can never take away the 'Indian religion' tag from buddhism.
The video is nice but the person voicing it is a bit.......please change the way you speak or narrate
No court has asked brahmins to vacate bodh gaya temple
Fact or fabrication? Thousands of Hindu temples needed repairs, why would they choose a Buddhist temple for Shivling ??
Rewriting history??
Handover our heritage. Free Mahabodhi ✊
How can these Buddhists drive brahmins out of bodh gaya since they have been worshipping there before gautam buddha.
The temple was built by Buddhists
What total nonsense! Making a geographic location "sacred" and "worshiping" a tree? Buddha would tell you that is delusional behavior.
Not really. Take a look at the history of Anandha Bodhi tree.
The people of Savatthi were fortunate to frequently meet with the Buddha, listen to his dis-courses and perform dana. However, according to the Commentary to KalingaBodhi Jataka ( Ja 479), when the Buddha was not at Jetavana Monastery, the lay people who could not meet him were very disappointed. Ana-thapindika approached Ven Ananda, one of the foremost disciples of the Buddha, and asked him for a solution to this problem. Ven Ananda then asked the Buddha how many types of cetiya (pagoda) there were to represent the Buddha as an object of worship for the lay people when he was not around.
During the Buddha’s time, people did not draw portraits of the Buddha or create statues in his image. They felt that to do so would be an insult to him as the Buddha was a perfectly formed being and nothing cre-ated by man would be able to do justice to his image. In fact, for a few hundred years after his parinibbana , no such objects were created.
The Buddha said that 3 types of cetiya could represent him:
Saririka Cetiya - this is derived from the remnants of his cremated body after his parinibbana. At that moment in time, the Buddha was still alive so this cetiya was not available.
Paribhogika Cetiya - the things used by the Buddha such as his alms bowl, his robes or the Bodhi tree. The Bodhi tree is regarded as a cetiya as it was used to shelter him from the elements when he was striving to achieve enlightenment.
Udissaka Cetiya - this is a symbolic cetiya that represents the Buddha and his teachings. One of them is the Dhammacakka (the Buddhist Wheel.Another example is the Lord Buddha's footprints.
tree under which the Buddha gained enlightenment was located in Bodhagaya, which was far away from Savatthi. Ven Ananda then requested the Buddha for permission to transplant a seed from this tree to Savatthi. The Buddha gave his consent. Ven Ananda asked Ven Moggallana (the foremost dis-ciple of the Buddha who was known for his psychic powers) to obtain a seed for him using his psychic abilities. Moggallana then collected the seed from the Bodhi tree and carried it in his robes to Savatthi.
@@miku-2356 Thank you for sharing such great deal of information that I never known before. Blessing 🙏
I'm sure you are Not a Buddhist nor a believer. Infact very ignorant and senseless as a non- believer. There are great numbers of Holy cave in Tibet, Nepal and India where our second Buddha, Guru Padmasambhava meditated, practiced and gained siddhi......these are very Sacred place to visit and worship by all Buddhist. Same goes for Shiva followers as well. Ofcourse, Bodhgaya is the Holiest place where our great Lord Buddha got enlightened under the Bodhi Tree.
If you really wanna know how to lie and how lies were written in ancient times, read buddhist's literature.
I think you mean hindu literature which stole and claim all the teachings they had known by the time of gupta dynasty;even if they contradict each other😂
Buddhadharma is the ONLY ultimate TRUTH of the reality. ☸️🪷💎🪐
Why did so called followers of gautam buddha abandon and run Way during constant attacks of Islamist rulers?
Because they didnt want to be Muslims
All these places have been named as belonging to Loard Budda in India,,,,,,,,,,,,, wrong,,,,,,,,,,,,No body can have blessing of Loard Budda by visiting sush places 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
