Event Description : 'Roots of Tibetan Buddhism' A documentary film screening.
The film presents the deep roots of Tibetan Buddhism in the tradition of the Nalanda University of India.
The vast universities of Eastern India had hundreds of teachers and students who came from across India and from the many countries of Asia that had embraced Buddhist philosophy. The greatest of these was at Nalanda. Here there was a spirit of vibrant intellectual thought, a climate of discussion and debate.
The scholars of Nalanda made outstanding contributions to numerous fields of study. The many acharyas or great masters at Nalanda, authored hundreds of treatise in various fields; on philosophy, metaphysics, psychology, logic, medicine, astrology, arts, literature and other subjects.
In the words of Dr. Jeffrey Durham : “One of the most important universities in the world was developed not in the medieval west, but right here in India. And here I am referring to the university consortium of Nalanda, Vikramshila, Somapura, Odantpuri – all of these universities were instrumental in producing people who are capable of understanding and articulating what it means to have universal knowledge, knowledge that applicable, across cultures and in across times.”
In the words of H. H. the Dalai Lama : “I really respect and appreciate, admire Christianity, Islam, different Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Judaism and so on. All these traditions have really brought immense benefit and hope to millions of people, in the last few thousand years, and still today and in the future also.
Now, you see the differences, in Buddhism, as also in Jainism, we have no concept of a creator. So one’s own salvation must be achieved through one’s own effort. Now the main obstacle in the path to salvation, is ignorance. There are many level of ignorance. So logically, the antidote of ignorance is knowledge, not prayer.”
