- Buddhism is not a common or widely accepted practice in Egypt. Those who seek to explore the religious, spiritual, meditative or other aspects of Buddhism struggle to find places for such practices, and in the case of some, may have to conceal their activities from their families and communities for fear of persecution or a lack of understanding. Mada Masr speaks to three people who have incorporated different aspects of this ancient religion into their lives in Cairo.

ليست ممارسة البوذية بالشيء الشائع أو المقبول في مصر، وهؤلاء الذين يسعون لاكتشاف الجوانب الدينية أو الروحانية أو الـتأملية في البوذية يكافحون من أجل أن يجدوا أماكناً لمثل هذه الممارسات. وحتى إن وجدوا بعضها فهم يخفون أنشطتهم عن عائلاتهم وعن المجتمعات خوفاً من الاضطهاد أو عدم تفهم الأمر. وهنا تتحدث "مدى مصر" إلى ثلاثة أشخاص يعيشون بالقاهرة، وقد أدخلوا إلى حياتهم جوانب مختلفة من هذه الديانة القديمة.

Great country become poor because of Islam, too pity. Indonesia.
Zhuri Galeria indonesia still have 45 million rich people , and we dont have hunger problem , war , street battle or demontration every day who make the country paralize , and we dont have big number of suicides case who happen in japan or south korea or sweden ,,,the former owner of inter milan foot ball club in italy ,mr erick tohir ( the one of the minister in indonesia )
Zhuri Galeria islam never make the our country poor , the people make their self poor ,the budhist monk also dont have anything in their life , but they are happy because money and gold is nothing for them,muslim people if they are really study and serious practicing their religion is very good ,Im also study islam and i find many good thing on it 🙏🏻😀
@@peeweeari7896 You never understood the teaching if Bhuddha Your replied is the answer. Too stupid. I knew your country well. Religion hole day. Do nothing like Africa. Go poor further none stop. No birth control God not allow.
I hope Buddhism spread far, wide and deeply in Africa! More Buddhism missionaries are needed in Africa!
Buddhism is not a religion.
Buddhism is not a religion it is a dharm or dhamma

It's an Art of living... Or way of living life.

Buddhism for India . to get rid of Hinduism from India
varsha, it was. now extinct already.
Ancient Jammudweepa was just a part of present North India thats why Buddhist population is high in rest of Asia than in India which is more islam dominant...
So, sad, Buddhism vanished from India within first 500 years of Budddha's death (parinirvaana). So, you guys (indians) have no rights to talk about buddhism anymore. Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka , Myenmar & Thailand dedicated their life to save it for us...
@@anuraroshan1211 ，you are quite right.
Buddhism is spreading in middle East , hopefully remove all the darkness in the region and bring peace.
I have never heard egypt has buddhist ohhh i got goosebumps.
Long live buddhism and all my buddhist brothers in Egypt.
Hi 5 on that!
I am so excited more than ever to visit Egypt.
Imagine if Buddhism came to ancient Egypt long ago and were absorbed into her native culture and religion. There would be wall murals showing the Buddha next to Isis, Osiris, Ra and Horus, and we would find Buddhist suttas like the Dhammapada all translated into hieroglyphics. Hey, the lotus flower is regarded as sacred in both Buddhism and ancient Egypt! :)
If you read about the Silk Road, Buddhism was at its peak in the (what now) Middle East. You can still find some ancient murals, statues and pieces of Buddhist arts in Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. today.
And then Arabian muslims invade and vanish Buddhism
@марвин 2600
There are actually attested buddhist missions to Egypt and Greece. There is also an intersection between greek philosophy and hindu-buddhist ideas, because some greek philosophers are said to have studied with the gymnosophists(sadhus) in India.
It did, actually
I have done Vipassana meditation as well, I recommend it to everyone whether you are Muslim or Christian or Jewish, it will be the most beautiful gift you can ever get in your life.
Even some Buddhists didn't know what's Vipassana. You're really something, you knew the Vipassana. I admire you, Truth Seeker. Please continue Vipassana meditation.
Sadhu sadhu sadhu
Utterly true
Bhavatu... Sabb.... Mangalam
You have never done real Vipassana

Good job for Egypt to follow Buddhism. Buddhism exists for benefits of all of us to gain peace inside and for the world. Peace to everyone.

I’m so happy to see that Buddhism is making an impact on the Islamic world. I found so much inner peace as an ex-Muslim and when I studied the sutras.
Can I asking where u from, I’m also a Buddhist although I’m Thai but once I’m Christian, I left for a long time

Greetings from an Indian buddhist brother 👍🏻
Buddhism is peaceful.
But Burmese?
Moon Like
Still peaceful. If you were thinking about Rohinga muslims - the illegals in southern Burma, then you can tell them to move out of Buddhist country - Burma. They openly have said they do not want the muslims in their country.
They have witnessed what Islam did to the world.
Are you that blind? 😈😈😈😈😈😬😬😬
I do not care here about Rohinga. I care: why it possible, in Buddhist countries could be cultivated and indoctrinated such slaughterers, who are ready decimate their own population? Who did kill in Pol Pot Campuchea millions of innocent people? You say Rohinga are unwelcome in your country. Ok, but will it authorize you to kill children? You are in reality not Buddhist, but barbarian and blind victim of propaganda. Great teachers have nothing to do with racism or killings!
Taichilover Doesbetter
Buddhism first rule: DO NOT KILL.
Moon Like glwalcott I'm fr Myanmar, you all say like if we are Buddhist there should be no army? I never support killing people. But peace should be maintained. Bengali so called Rohingya attack civilians and police first! Then army don’t have right to maintain peace and defend civilians? We give them some stage of permanent resident but it can’t make them please. What they want is Islamic State. When they were few people they stay quiet with local Rakhine people. Do you think if they got the State the native Rakhine people can live peacefully like they live before when their population was a small figure? When their population become bigger, they start doing violence. Also they are totally different from Myanmar Muslim from central part. So called civilians Rohingya also support ARSA terrorist. We don’t hate them at all. We just afraid of them. Yes very much afraid of them. Also army didn’t kill people in the name of buddhism. Killing living is a sin regardless of any reason in Buddhism.
Ve are shakya !! Ve are proud of Buddhism !! Namo buddhay jai ashok
Jati me hi bate rahna
@@bestpadhai5316there is no Caste system in Buddhism.
Buddhism is a universal religion for the peace and happiness for self and all others including animals. It is 2600 years old but the teachings of the Buddha are so scientific that one feel as if the Buddha taught keeping in view the situations of 21st century world.
I fine that buddha teaching is tough. Not easy to understand in the beginning. There are many subjects like the four noble truth, eightfold path, five aggricates, three poisons, depending origination,duality, karmic accumulation and many more. Many give up but I kept going meditate two hours a day. Its easier to meditate once you understand mind and body unite as one. Eternal bliss
Keep it up, you will gain...
great .....Love from India ❤️💙💚🌺🌹🌷🥀🙏🙏🙏🙏
the more I learn about Buddhism the more I want to learn about it . Religion of peace . That is exactly what the world needs right now.
sabbe satta bhavantu sukhitatta
feeling have someone know these things
In Egypt country has Buddhist it is really? I love Egypt people, Everyone loves us.
I am immensely pleased to see and hear this. Of course, a system of practice that promotes compassion, peace and inner knowledge may find great difficulty to take root in societies whose everyday lives are infected by hatred, selfishness and blind conviction. A lot of anti-Buddhists are spreading brazen lies as propaganda against Buddhist countries and Buddhist people. Terror and terrorism were the things that had never been associated with Buddhists, yet I see those who form part of a system of belief that is definitely the most frequently associated with those vile vices calling us aggressors without sound base, laughably presenting their own propaganda as proof. Never in the entire life span of the planet had history seen such a colossal example of injustice. Following Buddha's example, I shall not respond to hatred in kind. I simply wish for them to be able to see the light through the veil of darkness that holds them down in a tight grip. The light of Dharma calls all beings towards the supreme enlightenment and liberation from the vicious cycle of suffering, which definitely includes ingrained enmity towards others.
Buddhism in world!!!!!
good u understand Buddhisem namaste

@kei chan
You are right dear
@kei chan
Most welcome 😊😊
@kei chanpls don't be so rude. Buddhist have to polite and obey 5 principles in Buddhism.
Be strong brother.. Buddhism is a science of the mind and its habits.. and how to be in control of it.. it's medicine of the mind and soul.. keep it up..
Great job bro🙂🙏
Well said. You do not have to change your religion to practice yoga and meditation. Buddha said, you practice only If it benefits you; If it does not benefit you, do not follow. You keep your own religion and still benefit from compassion and meditation.
Sorry. You are wrong. Buddha denied God existence. It is totally different from another religion. You can't follow two different ideology or religious beliefs. You can't get enlightenment, peace. It creates conflict in your mind. You have to follow Buddhism completely or another religion. 🙏
I am very impressed with you and keep up the good work and study more about it.
Imagine how rich culture could made... Monks egyptians, create mantras in arab, meditation in arab could same restore the ancient kemet gods workshipeds like Osiris, Isis...
I pray for the safety of buddhists all over the world.
Very good
May all world shine under philosophy of great buddha .
Amazing, i hope people reap the benefits of the dharma, fear not there is purpose to it, a purpose of true happiness, a quest. Practice diligently brothers and sisters
Wow good fortunes
Those who think beyond believing will always find their destination in buddhism..The real path to happiness and eternal redemption is buddhism
great brother now worlds need buddhas teaching. the teaching of buddha is scientificial avoid myths and superstitions.
in others religious teaching there is a lots myths and superstitions.
but buddhas teaching is 2500 year old teaching that is only based on only
truth and science.
buddha dhamma means how to live life better and peaceful

Buddhism teaches about Self-Inquiry, controlling your Emotions, Islam teaches about Creation of the World, Worship of Allah.
Apples and Oranges, it's like saying you must learn Physics but mustn't learn Chemistry.
Unfortunately many People don't understand this and see it as a threat to "their" Belief System.
Buddhist don't live for religion. But Islam live only for religion (Allah and Muhammad) to surrender the entire life only for Allah include sacrifice your soul only for religion. The only way to reach jannah or heaven that Allah guarantee is to be jihadist (means sacrifice your soul to go war in the sake of Allah)
@@grandefortune933 with budhisim you would able to feel heaven on earth .. because peace is heaven , Buddhism is about truth and no enemy
Buddhism reached Egypt 300 BCE but unfortunately could not survive because of fundamentalist Christianity.
Go for a change. Go for Buddhism

Buddhism was once very popular in Egypt, hence the name Egypt, or House of the spirit of Ptah, or Buddha. Flinder's Petrie found an Indian Buddha at the Memphis Ptah temple that was dated to the time of Cambyses. India and Egypt have always had a close relationship. Akhenaten was probably the Buddhist Okkaka (Grk. Ogyges, Og, Gyges & etc) and it is certain that the Egyptian Shisak is the Buddhist Shishinaga. (Sesostris)
+Daniel Hopkins Akhenaten means the one who submits to Atuun the Sun.
He worshipped the sun and made a revolution in Egypt to unite all the religions in one religion which is worshipping sun.
Metathesis
Buddhism was NEVER anything near to 'popular' ... stop lying
Dolar Ferroun It was popular enough, but not in Egypt.

I wonder they're still alive in muslim country.what a miracle??
you can be a muslem and still practive buddhist meditation.
And slowly slowly his/her religion gone. And the meditator become nothing.
@@HutanBeringin89 u stupid
it is very difficult to convert from Islam to any other religion in Egypt because of complex and complicated process, but it is very easy to become Muslim.
a Muslim man can marry any woman from Christian Bahai Buddhist Jew community or faith but a non Muslim is not allowed to marry Muslim women there.

To me Buddhism is the most peaceful religion ever. Bhuddism as a philosophy does not allow anyone to harm anyone. If does, it is a braking of Lord Buddha's teachings. Lord buddha spread peace to all the beings without considering whether they come to peace or to hate. That's why Buddhism has eradicated from there. There is enough evidences to prove Buddhism had well established in Afghanistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Pakistan, Persia, India . But today they all are gone due to fertility rate of a race that I don't like to talk about
but for enlightenment only one way .it's not available in most of the Buddhist counties .but our most enlighten ones do not preach in English .so can't spread buddhism by them .so try to follow theravada buddhism at least.it's available in countries like Thailand ,Myanmar and my country of course srilanka..it's not mind fullness it's the way to decomposition of the ingredients of mind (myself/soul) .that s not easy .lot of mind training needed .but some people can do it easily .that's basically know about the next thought , it's origination ,see it from outside and train your mind not to claim it .if you take it as yours that take you to a long process .that's storing in mind ,generations of uncountable number of feelings emotions ,path way to other thoughts that create illutions called past and future.
and that become yours .(myself).if you see this clearly it's called enlightenment.but see means you become in to it and never comeback .
May Team Takfir not wreak their vengeance upon thee.
Buddhism has been existed way before Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There were evidence of ancient buddhist monks who travelled all the way to the middle east .
It's a teaching is not a religion!
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأن حبيبي محمد رسول الله..
You don’t understand buddhism at all
from the picture i think that it was funded by a Hong Kong Tycoon Tung Lin Kok Yin foundation.
Yoga is not a part of Buddha Dhamma's Meditation. BecauseYoga is brought by a Brahmin priest Patanjali his main aim was uprooted to Buddha Dhamma and his teachings, principles, Meditation (Vipassana) from ancient India, who was Master of Pushyamitra Shunga. Pushyamitra was murdered of ancient Buddhist king Brahdratha Maurya then after Pushyamitra had became king and established Shungha dynasty then started counter revolution against Buddhism and the huge mass killing of Buddhist Monks destroyed Buddha Viharas monestries, stupas, Temples , Brahdratha Maurya was a 10th and last king of Mauryan period.. So today yoga is deformed of Vipassana of Buddha.
If you don't see a conflict with buddhist meditation, yoga and the local religious practices than you know nothing of the practices that you are supposed to be teaching
I enjoyed this. The Buddha's teachings are about purifying the heart. Islam also teaches to purify the heart. I feel one can be a Muslim and yet learn from the teachings of the Buddha. One can be a Buddhist and learn from the teachings of Islam.
Negativo, não sei em que universo você vive mas isso não é possível
why do you want to be buddhists? be Buddha. because to be Buddhist is to be somebody, to be Buddha is to be nobody.
the teacher does not know but taught, BIG problem await.
