It is quite different from western art.

The art is very beautiful. Buddhist art is respectful and faithful.
Hmm, well a lot of people are sentimentally moved and attached to buddha statues and art I've noticed , but if you ever sat down with them to ask them what buddhism is, what it's about, many don't have a clue. What do you mean by it is faithful? It's faithful and delivers consolatory relaxing feelings? Sure it it can and often does. It's kind of like an invitation to love. Everybody want's to get invitation's but not every one actually want's to go to the party.

Buddhism is one of the greatest thoughts that mankind has produced as of today. The all embracing culture of peace ofBuddhism is of highest necessity in the present day world . It must be preserved with love ❤ and respect.
correct
🥰
Please save Buddhism because buddha spreding only love, science, nature and picefull world 😭🙏
The first university Nalanda in India where the Buddha taught will have been existing unfortunately it have been burnt down by the Islamic invasion of India ...Hopefully China will learn their history from India to stop the Islamic invasion in China especially the Pakistani, and all the Islamic countries flooding into their country
Saving Buddhism is like stopping rain to precipitate. No one will ever save Buddhism. It emerges by ones own will, whether you know Buddha or not that does not matter at all...
@AS Sohail Dawar Definitely will not happen when the world rise and they will get rid of Islam indefinitely as people want to advance in their thinking and do not want to be stuck in the 1400 years mentality unable to evolve to this date ...Why do you think Islam fear of muslim leaving the faith and have to kill them ...
@AS Sohail Dawar Btw China and India will be the first to get rid of Islam as they do not need this barbaric arabic teaching who do not respect and values life for humanity
@AS Sohail Dawar You must be deluded if Islam respect they wont be killing muslim men for leaving the faith and accuse muslim women for adultery with their egoistic lies from men in the Islamic world ...Have you seen Allah if not you have been lies for being a sheep and I guess your Arabic is not fluently as those from the Middle East and are leaving Islam ,,,
I am a hindu from India but buddhism is a religion which I find very close to my heart ....I am very much influenced by buddha and his teachings in my life... I can proudly say that India is also called the land of Buddha🙏
Buddhism is not a religion. It is path of success. Anyone can follow it. No matter who are you? where are you? etc.
I would love to visit those places in India. Let’s pray. Hope we’ll meet the future Buddha in our next life.
Completely agree with you
Are u really an Indian. Buddhism is a way of life not a religion.
I follow Buddha's philosophy, meditate for peace and calm.
A remarkable film showing the treasures of Buddhist art in China. Thankyou to the people of China for preserving their Buddhist history .A truly inspiring documentary. Thankyou.
Simply amazing! I actually have more respect for China and the Chinese government if they’re providing videos this beautiful and educational to the world. Respect to China from the USA. 🇨🇳

Beautiful buddhist ☸️🙏🏼❤️
Excellent discovery and presentation of the ancient Buddha statues during different dynasties. Thank you very much for sharing.
Plz .....protect is my buddha 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏☸️🙏
It’s being said, when you paint the eyes of the Buddha on a statue, you must look in a mirror to add the eyes. This I believe depends on the degree of one’s love and respect for Buddha. Thank you for this video.
Buddha, s face emits serin wisdom, not any one born on this planet like him
Very. Very. Woundful. And. Nice. Budhaa❤❤❤❤❤
Buddha was born in lumbini Nepal. We respect buddha a lot.
Yeah buddha was born in nepal..
Sidhartha enlighted in Bodhgaya and became Buddha.This place is 12 km away from my home.
@Lop Sided not Hindustan but Indian subcontinent had many small kingdom when he was born
Yes gautham buddha was born in nepal but still Buddhism is indian because Buddhism emerged and developed in india

15:30 it's not shiva or vishnu. It's Buddhists art , kindly correct it. Shiva is named after kushan God oesho who was s Bodhisattva . Vishnu is a character created out of Buddhist art. Kindly check various other Buddhists arts.
The building of these statues took lots of time hard work energy and skills of human beings so it will be a wise decision to preserve it four our future generations instead of destroying it like fools.
One of the best documentry about chinese buddhism. Chinese saved Buddhism from extinction.
Lol. Communism destroyed it
Namo buddhay love to Buddhism
🙏❤️
Thank you for the documentary. Thanks to CGTN and the Chinese government as well. I never knew, these exist in China. Are CCP protect these ancient treasures?
Please Google and join our Dhamma discussion forum Dhamma Wheel.
Of course. All that is national treasure. Protected by law.
China has been demolishing Buddhist statues recently...
@@wentworth3255 This is why I'm so confused by the discussion in this thread. My understanding of China is that they refute older spiritual traditions in favor of systems of control (like christianity)... i'm unclear why China would be celebrating these traditions now. Haven't they been trying to erase Tibetan Buddhism for many decades?
Nice.
It’s good 🙏
"Namoo Buddhaaya"
नोमो नोमो नोमो बुदया
Excellent video!!! I’m always wondering why CGTN doesn’t include subtitles. Are your videos addressed only to English speakers? I wanted to forward it to my Greek friends but I know few will understand everything. Too bad!
You can translate in Greek.
@@Q_QQ_Q That’s not my job. You should have included English subtitles to help non-native speakers of English understand your videos.
@@evapaparisteidou9040 its not my video . i was just suggesting , i would have done but i am not Greek , don't know Greek either .
👌🏻
The moment you say you r not a Buddhist means you are not aware of the law of nature. It's like I never believe in science means closing the door of natural law..it is beyond belief and acceptence.
🙏🙏🙏
He was awakened that’s the reason why he smile and he completely letting go of this illusion world.
The clay statues are still built in Kolkata from the Mud collected from Ganga.
It is the the next duty of the Chinese Authority to sponser buddhism in China

Bhagavan bhudha jaisa koi nahi he.

It's really tragic to see how the Buddism tradition has ended in China. Once respected by the many and now forgotten and in ruins. The essence of its teachings not understood anymore. Together with the parallels teachings of Taoism and Confucianism. The Earth is grieving.
@आदि राजपूत The state of our planet corresponds with the decline. What goes around comes around.
Buddhism is a way of life irrespective of what religion or no religion you belong to. So don't feel sad.
Who has received my robe as a gift 🎁
In the millennia of time past we KNOW that there was a race of beings who inhabited our planet and who created structures that even today we cannot challenge their technology, their diversity and power. 👀Sites in the Andes, sites in India (Ellora caves, Ajanta.) so many others that we have uncovered to leave us bewildered and in disbelief as yet another discovery turns back the chronological clock even further. 👀What came after them? After whatever cataclysmic event occurred to wipe them off the face of the planet? We know from Sumerian to the Sanskrit of the Ramayana to Buddha and Buddhism. YET they took over ancient sites, hid the ancient builders work or cast it down and erected their own in its place. 👀Buddhism spread like wild fever. Statues erected by those who sought to spread their religion? Some might call idolatry an in fact the 'Bible' has Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image - (According to the psalmist and the prophet Isaiah). 'Those who worship inanimate idols will be like them, that is, unseeing, unfeeling, unable to hear the truth.'? Many religions tore down statues of Buddha. Given the size of some of those statues I would have said 'I'd like to see you try that'. 😗The teachings were spread initially NOT by the written text but by the word. Even though such interpretations were likely to have been amended along the way we still have some wholesome truths when it comes to how we live our lives. 😗Take away the idolatry and I have deep respect for Buddhism. At its core is the truth of simplicity within our lives. For our lives to have meaning and to have purpose. Working together, creates harmony, generates stability. THAT is why China has come out of the rubble into a country with its people standing on solid ground, built by the people, for the people.
