The Ancient Teachings Of Theravāda Buddhism

- Buddhism is a religion and philosophy that originated in ancient India and has since spread across the modern world.
Buddhism is based on the teachings of The Buddha, or Siddhartha Gautama.
The Buddha lived in ancient India in the 5th century BCE.
He was a prince, born into a wealthy and privileged family in the Shakya clan in present-day Nepal.
However, he became deeply troubled by the suffering he saw around him.
He made a vow to try to find a solution to this problem of suffering.
So, Prince Gautama left his family and all his worldly possessions behind and began a search to overcome suffering and to find the source of true and lasting happiness.
After years of intense contemplation and study, including many years of severe privation, the Buddha attained Enlightenment, or Nirvana.
He found what he was looking for: the source of true and lasting happiness.
From this moment on, The Buddha devoted himself to sharing his insights with others.
The Buddha's teachings, known as the Dharma, are centred on:
The Four Noble Truths & The Eightfold Path
The Four Noble Truths are:
Graphic:
Life is suffering
The cause of suffering is desire and ignorance.
Suffering can be ended.
The way to end suffering is to follow the Eightfold Path.
_______________________________________________________________________
The Eightfold Path is a set of ethical and spiritual practices. They are:
Graphic:
Right understanding
Right intention
Right speech
Right action
Right livelihood
Right effort
Right mindfulness
Right concentration

The Buddha offered the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path as a framework to understand the nature of suffering and how to overcome it.

I am born catholic and I practice my faith as much as I can but I am also intrigued with Buddhism and it's something so blissful and peaceful. There are lots of flaws with a lot of religions even with Christianity but I can't see anything flawed with Buddhism. I understand it is not really a religion but a way of life, a way to think and a way to act.
I agree with you NJ. 🙌 buddhism is a way of life which can be adopted by many religions ❤
@Jess Tarn as a zen Buddhist i would actually enjoy reading your list please
You were like all born human. No religion no wrong /right. Just a human being. Being is inclusive doing isn't as it's the first divide. That's ok . Life is hard we all are surviving. Thriving is the right of all it's just not reality. It should be
A religion is supposed to be a pathway to divinity.
Some religions are based on BELIEF.
They lead to darkness, ignorance and enslavement.
Some religions are based on EXPERIENCE, SELF-REALISATION. They lead to ENLIGHTENMENT, KNOWLEDGE and NIRVANA.
The former is enforced by the sword with the ulterior motive of world domination .
The latter is mainly adopted.
I too am born catholic. I was disillusioned. I was intrigued with Buddhism and sanatan dharma.
Yes, it is blissful and peaceful.
Now, I am able to appreciate the message of Jesus. But, the organization is responsible for the enslavement.
Spiritual texts are NOT literal in meaning. They are allegorical, esoteric, metaphorical, yatharth. They are NOT to be understood or interpreted by logic, rational thinking or scholarship. They have to be EXPERIENCED, SELF-REALISED. WISDOM is the prerequisite.
Religious leaders either deliberately or out of ignorance MISINTERPRETED the scriptures.
I'm a Theravada Buddhist in Cambodia. Samatha meditation and Vipassana meditation are very powerful practices.
Yes, they are
Do you have any good resources an English speaker can access for more study of Therevada? I am quite interested in learning much more.
Can you suggest me where can I learn Theravada teachings
🙏@@sebastiaosalgado1979
🙏 Have you ever practiced Samatha meditation or Vipassana mediation?@@colossusX1
Theravada Buddhist here 🙏🏽❤️ Specifically from Cambodia 🇰🇭😇

Metta and gratitude to Cambodia people for preserving the Dhamma and the Sangha through the worst persecution. ''Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa''!
As a beginner of practicing Buddhism for 3 years now, it has brought me much happiness.
I came searching for peace, and I found myself instead. Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏻
I am a Muslim from Bangladesh and I want to convert to Buddhism. I am interested to follow the Mahayana approach. The teaching of Buddhism is very logical and correct, hence I am attracted to it. How can i convert to Buddhism from Bangladesh?
Converting is what religions do , but Buddhism is not a religion as preached by many , you don't need to become a Buddhist , u can just become aware and implement its teachings in your Life remember Buddha never wanted to make a religion, Leaders destroy the followers and followers destroy the leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple.
I think Bangladesh is not safe for Buddhist. I think you converted to Theravada Buddhism . Not Mahayana. All Bangladeshi Buddhists are Theravada Buddhists
Mahayana is a good choice, better than being Hinayana.
@@ConformingToEmptiness Thanks
@@ConformingToEmptiness nice jocker😂😂. Hinayana. Hinayana is most sciencetific than fake mahayana. Mahayana Buddhism destroy pure Buddha teachings and Theravada Buddhism. Worship idols , puja etc.
Not practicing blind faith and putting the teachings to use to see the effects is one of most profound aspects for me. Thank you for the comprehensive coverage.
Just an introduction into sectarians in buddhism. Nothing comprehensive about it.
Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
Thank you so much,i am theravada Buddhist from chittagong hill tracks, Bangladesh
I wish Buddism is a way of life in every country, so much hate and ego would disappear over time and we can finally understand each other in a better sense and view each other in better light
Buddhism is the way of the future. Everyone wants peace,love and happiness and knowledge. They will run into the great Lord Buddha for u can't hide from him..no judgement just pure love and compassion
Buddhism never disappeared from India. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel every Buddhist should know what I have to say. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar.

Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'.

It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. I have just videographed Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana temple. She is regarded the great grandmother of that are just as Buddha is regarded as grandfather (Baba). Thanks for accepting my butting in.
The music in these videos is always outstanding. A Spotify playlist would be a blessing 🙏🏽🙏🏽
After many years of believing nothing, I found myself calling me a Buddhist, even though I'm still a beginner, I will strive toward Nirvana in this life and maybe in the next. No rush 😊
u will gain more and more trauma and "karma" throughout each lifetime. So how tf can u grow when every time u try to learn from ur problems and heal ur traumas, u get ur memory wiped so that u cant remember which will lead to repeating the same mistakes and gaining trauma and pain in the next life. WAKE UP. This world is a matrix. Buddha is a matrix, hinduism is a matrix, juadism, christianity, islam, catholic, ALL of it is a matrix. I dont know who or what created it, but something isnt right here. Ive BEEN knowing something isnt right here. How tf are we supposed to grow if our memory gets wiped? How are we supposed to heal if each life has trauma? Make it make sense!
most of your lives are spent in hell and as animals. good luck. 😅
I'm from SRI LANKA and there are almost 22 million population and more than 70% of the population around 15 million are theravada buddhists so Buddhism is definitely the PREDOMINANT religion in SRI LANKA. The speaker mentions that Buddhism isn't a predominant religion in the country at 06:55
Yes this is true..
theravada buddhism originated in Sri Lanka
Also mentioned that it was practiced in Afghanistan. Doubt that.
In case you havent noticed there really isnt proper buddhism in Sri Lanka. Worshipping statues and trees is not buddhism my brother in dharma
even buddha said himself dont worship him ,the only way to respect him is following his teachings and be a good human to the world ,spread love and compassion,this is buddha s words not mine
🙏🌺🇳🇵Namoh Buddhaya! Om Mani Padme Hum!! Sadhu,Sadhu,Sadhu!!🙏🏵️🙏!🌸.
be happy, I am indian I am buddhist Thank you so much for making such knowledgeable and valuable video
Having spent three months at a Vipassana Retreat back in 1986, I attribute my current life and relative inner peace despite a world in turmoil, I did find the teachings and practice very helpful and moved me away from a mood swing life.
I agree, being an ex Christian. I never had the luxury of attending retreats, but it all began with a book called Dhammapada. I am new to this, do not call myself a Buddhist, do not know which tradition I belong to, but I read textual translations of known traditions and they all bring *inner peace* to me which I was craving since a child. I developed more compassion than any other time in my life. Metta
@@timetoreason181 It's not that I 'believe' in Bhuddism . Belief itself is the curse of a closed mind. I am willing to think about something, but to believe is to stop thinking.
@@pprehn5268 Yes that is what I meant. Yes belief itself is the curse to open mind, I would say, as I closes your mind, shut your mind from reason. All belief systems do that, not only Christianity. As far as I know Buddha dhamma does not. But in some Buddhist cultures Dhamma has become a belief too. I do not call myself a Buddhist but reading and practicing the Dhamma (which is NOT promoting belief anywhere in any texts) find freedom and solace in Buddhism. I am new to Buddhism and do not have any fear of death or dying, or perhaps hells or heavens. cheers
This is a very nice video series and is informative on some of the Buddhist schools. It took me on a journey down memory lane as I studied and practiced the Dhamma venturing through the schools as I developed in practice and study and even pilgrimaged to Tibet. The experience was once in a lifetime and absolutely breathtaking. To give a true overview of the Buddha's teachings however, one MUST also include the Lotus school in this video series. The Lotus Sutra is the core principal of all the Dharma teachings. Although helpful, the teachings prior to the Lotus Sutra are elementary in the actual scope of Buddha Dharma and the Universal Law. NaMo Myo Ho RenGe Kyo, Namo Buddha.
Like an arrow from the bow, straightforward video straightforward knowledge. Namaskar 🙏

The meditation that you referred to a "Vipassana meditation" is actually "Samatha meditation". It's often taught as if it is just the intro to Vipassana but it is actually a stand alone and foundational meditation that focuses the mind and detaches it from distraction and fear, putting the mind in the perfect state to then progress to other forms of meditation like Vipassana (insight)meditation, metta (loving kindness) meditation, etc.
The Vipassanā movement, also called (in the United States) the Insight Meditation Movement and American Vipassana movement, refers to a branch of modern Burmese Theravāda Buddhism that promotes "bare insight" (sukha-Vipassana) to attain stream entry and preserve the Buddhist teachings, which gained widespread popularity since the 1950s, and to its western derivatives which have been popularised since the 1970s, giving rise to the more dhyana-oriented mindfulness movement.
The Burmese Vipassana movement has its roots in the 19th century, when Theravada Buddhism came to be influenced by western modernism, and some monks tried to restore the Buddhist practice of meditation. Based on the commentaries, Ledi Sayadaw popularized Vipassana meditation for lay people, teaching samatha and stressing the practice of satipatthana to acquire Vipassana (insight) into the three marks of existence as the main means to attain the beginning of awakening and become a stream-enterer.

@@buddhaexhumed9922Thank you for sharing this. As a theravadin buddhist who has noticed errors in the way of my buddhist upbringing (elders and some false monks who basically preacher hate and huge ego) and now questioning everything while trying to research and relearn everything (including other schools of Buddhism and especially what Theravada and what Buddha actually taught), it is very calming and warm to know these little facts and resource for better understanding and practice. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
@@zeokar1444 Thanks.
Can someone please tell me the SONG playing from 7:10-9:10 in the background?? It’s soo soothing id ❤ to meditate to it.🙏🏽
17:26. this is the best introduction to breathing attention (anapana sati) meditation i have seen lately and this site is awesome🕸
Thank you for the amazing video! Some of my thoughts:
The 1st noble truth can be described as “suffering exists” (rather than life is suffering and the way out is to get rid of life).
The 2nd truth explains the arising of suffering. Through the six senses, different kinds of feelings, perceptions, and volition are born. When under ignorance, wrong views and grasping tangle us, bringing about sufferings.
The forth truth shows us the way, usually summarised as the eightfold path. But we can also understand it this way:
Following the precepts and living a righteous life, we can easily be mindful and aware in each moment. Meditation on the breathing, loving-kindness and impurity calm our body and mind, bringing ease, joy, happiness, for concentration to be possible. This in turn allows reality to reveal itself. Understanding and non-grasping then help liberate our afflictions or knots.
The 3rd truth talks about uprooting ignorance, craving and hatred, that is the extinction and quenching of wrong views and dukkha’s chain, leaving us freedom, solidity, peace, freshness...
This is my alternative way to clarify the teaching. Hope it is useful for our practices.
*Nụ cười của bạn là quý giá và là chìa khóa của một cuộc sống hạnh phúc , chúc các bạn nghe luôn vui vẻ, cả đời bình an* 🙏🙏🙏
I can't believe that Sri Lanka is not mentioned among the Theravada dominant countries in the first half of the video. Even the Pali Canon was written there for crying out loud ! Lol ! Fortunately she mentioned it at the end of the video.
I love how you talk about such deep concepts with ease and make it so easy to understand it. I always wait for your new posts💙
PS - Can't wait for you to post the Green Tara Mantra's and Shankara Karunakara chants🙏🏼 They fill my heart with peace.
Thanks again for posting this video🙏🏼🌱
MahaSadhu 🙏🙏🙏from Malaysia..NamoBuddhaya
I'm sorry, but Buddha never said life is suffering. The first noble truth is "there is suffering"... if you miss that rather important distinction, you will misinterpret everything else.
Jathi Bhi Dukkho (Life is suffering) because it's beyond your control. Non self.
@gayan madushanka wherever that phrase came from, it was never uttered by Buddha. It does not appear, ever, in any of the Pali.
The translation of dukkha as "suffering" is pretty problematic by itself... add in mistranslating "there is" to "life is" and the entire meaning is changed.
The problem isn't with life AT ALL... the problem is with clinging and identity view... life is perfectly fine... there's no problem with nature...
Amazing knowledge. Thankyou for sharing this knowledge. I am really grateful to be a subscriber of your channel. Because I am learning alot from you channel. Just keep providing all these life knowledge or divine knowledge to us because we are fully ignorant and we are on the stage of suffering level . Even the word suffering is originated from the word ignorance , it's our perception of seeing ignorance as suffering. We human beings created the word suffering ,which actually it's not suffering it's just ignorance . Let spread peace and happiness. Amen . 🕉️🙏❤️❤️.
I look forward to more content from your channel and continuing this journey of learning and self-discovery together. Thank you for the meaningful work you do.
The content of this video is excellent. Thank you so much for making clear what is unclear to so many! I'm a bit confused by all the yoga footage though. I guess it's hard to find good stock footage of Buddhist meditators. They aren't easy to film without disturbing the meditation. It could be a bit confusing to many to show Western yoga practitioners, as their path, view and practices are quite different from Buddhism.
Thanks for the work ! Just a note for people that are new to buddhism: a lot of the images shown are not what the voice is referring too, and show yoga or Mahayana images when talking about Theravada, and vice versa. 🙏✨🕊
Yes, she is confused and confusing others too.
Namo Buddha
Dear Orator,
Vipassana is an ancient form of meditation which was present even in the time before Buddha in india in 5th century BCE. It’s not originated in 19th century in Burma. However in modern times it’s get popular under leadership of SN Goenka.
Vipassana meditation wasn’t present in the time before Buddha. Ancient form of meditation before Buddha was other kind of meditation like Samantha meditation .
@@eykhant8381 it was present. There are two school of thought first say it was present before buddha other says it was discovered by buddha.
My reference is book “THE BUDDHA AND HIS DHAMMA” by Dr BR AMBEDKAR.
Oh! I realized now what you meant. Ok, that’s right. DHAMMA ( i.e. law of nature) has already presented and presents all the time. But no body know it until it was discovered by a person who known as “ Sambasambuddha”(Buddha). Right? But I meant that Vipassana hasn’t well known before Buddha taught to others. Is that right? Anyway thank you for sharing knowledge each other. You have a wonderful Mingala.
@@eykhant8381 I mean Vipassana was present in ancient India before the supreme Buddha … but it was lost and rediscovered by the revered one. And taught to masses by him.
Thanks for the healthy discussion.
Namoh Buddhaye 🙏🏻
Got it. Namoh Buddhaya🙏

When I would go to a Buddhist temple to meditate it was a pure land Buddhist temple... There were many Buddhas even though they do focus on a few or one the most. They had a few different stories
In the main hall, there are usually 3 or 4 buddhas statues... if you observe, hundreds of tiny buddhas around the walls of the main hall, each can represent one of you.
Life is not suffering, desire is suffering.
Can you live life without attached to desires completely?
Tree slowly very slowly spread his roots under soil and one day thrive lots of flower in brunches. Buddhism very slowly changes a man's life and bring enlighment like fruit.
Beautiful video and narration. Thoroughly enjoyed it, very informative, clear and accurate. Thank you 🙏 ❤
I'm glad you started this video with what is Siddhartha Gautama's most important teaching.
A lot of people assume he's some kind of god or deity and we should just follow what he said without examining how to apply those teachings.
I always use the example that being vegan isn't a requirement, but it's impossible to consume animal products without harming other living beings.
But I wish all the best on their path to enlightenment.
Hey pure soul, can you please tell the artist name who is singing that background music, she’s creating magic in my mind. I want to listen that music while meditation. My greetings 🙏

Enlightenment is not about feelings it's about understanding
I found this to be a good summary of Theravada Buddhism and Vipassana with the exception that the B roll footage was often misleading or irrelevant.
As both a Theravada and Mahayana practitioner, I’d also like to clarify that jhana or jhayati mean meditation. It has both the function of stopping (samatha) and looking deeply (vipassana).
When one observes the breathing with pure awareness, it also calms and concentrates his mind. And when one’s mind is calm, it helps him focus and see unclouded. So samatha and vipassana are not something you can practice separately.
Buddha never really divided meditations into two categories. They were just two functions of meditation. It was in the Vissudhimagga where Buddhaghosa categorised meditations that way.
We should also not be caught in the notion that the four jhanas are insightless samatha meditations. Joy and happiness are what settle the mind to cultivate equanimity and mindfulness, for clear vision to be developed. So vipassana and samatha are never two distinct practices.
Buddha teached is helpful to lifted up your life better day by day after you know yourself why you are born and what you want to be in this while still alive in this world.
Nirvana is not a Sanskrit word but of pali pakrit this language is much older then Sanskrit. Sanskrit id only a modified version of pali pakrit. Plz research properly and then make comment
Buddhism is not a religion, it's a philosophy. There is no one to save yourself only you can save yourself. Most people believe they can be saved by another one, that because people are lazy to try but the truth is in the end only, we can save ourselves. The most amazing thing is Buddha never forced anyone to follow his teaching blindly.... if you still have doubts read the debate happened in Sri Lanka called "The debate of Panadura".
The Buddha was the originator of Vipassana, so it came from India. Of course the Vipassana movement began from Burma. Still a great video and a very calming experience
Theravada buddhism originated in Sri Lanka....pls mention that
We do not kill We do not advocate fightings, wars. We understand why , the cause and consequences. We forgive because we live with compassion. We are the followers of the teaching of true peace. Theravada 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am currently living in the American south, have been practicing theravada Buddhism since I was 17, beginning with a reading of The Dhammapada. Since then I've read much more broadly, but still read the pali canon nearly daily. "When a fool commits an evil action, he is lighting a fire in which he will [must] one day burn." The difference between theravada and others for me was one of divinities rather than doctrine, whereas some see the buddha and buddhas as godlike beings whereas for others the buddha was a philosopher and the dharma is a practically understood guide for self-actualization. This feels a bit detached from the spirituality, though that might be an artifact of language and not of the experiential reality of Buddhist practice. Practice mindfullness in all things, engage in right-action, right-thought, right-speech. Take no part in lies, fear-mongering, or deceit of any kind. it is a fire in which you one day burn, etc. For me it has been a practice of seeking knowledge and self-analysis to the ends of self-improvement public and private.
One thing of note about a nation of Buddhists for me is that it has yet to past they invaded and oppressively converted others to believe as they did. It speaks to the sophistication of the idea that it needs not arm itself.
I'm a teenager in the U.S and I'm looking to get into Buddhism. Do you have any tips to start out since you also started young?
I am a Theravada Buddhist from Myanmar(Burma)❤ 🇲🇲
Namaste 🙏 thankyou God bless all 🙏 💖 ❤️ ✨️ 💛 ♥️ 🙏
Love you my dear guru ji pranam pranam 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
*Ordinary wisdom* can be attained by practicing the 4 Noble Truths & the 8 Fold Path.
But *True Wisdom* doesn't depend on any religious practices, virtues or morality.
🙏🙏🙏
Hee 4 noble truth are not something called RILIGIOus ritual it's truth about life budhha spoken
Great video. Just one correction. Vajrayana Buddhism was started in India (Kashmir area) and not in Tibet. It developed parallel to the Tantric practices of Hinduism. The word Vajra means the weapon of Indra, the God of Weather, in Hinduism.
Today, the largest number of practitioners are the Tibetan people.
Seeking enlightenment is a desire, thinking is a problem. Memory and imagination leads to suffering.
informative, make one about Mahayana Buddhism too
Beautiful and informative. Thank you
Fantastic work. Really a great vid.
Om tare tuttare ture soha
Truth wins thank you
where did you get "sukha-vipassana" from? sukha means, "Pleasure; ease; satisfaction." I've never heard of such a thing.
Recommend reading the Dalai Lama book 'How to truly see yourself'.
Peace
in another way Buddha means wisdom. Buddha's wisdom and attainment is not just arise from just on life experience and practic. He had to struggle for many many lifes. Go and study ABiDhamma in details and you will see how much deep and realise that just struggling in one life will not be passable. But excellent Ruby is not deserve to everybody. likewise Biddhism is also cannot be understood by many people. Only for some.
Im a buddhist learner and practisioner of a new kadampa movement lineage. Based on what I've learned, it is not true that Vajrayana regards the Sakyamuni Buddha as a god of some sort. He was a human who achieved enlightment, a human that relized his buddha nature and use it to its full potential. As the same human ourself, we can draw an inspiration based of his practice and teaching to gain the same enlightment, using our own potential and buddha nature even though it wil tooks countless life times to achive it, so we can help other living being to achieve the same thing and be free of this samsara 🙏
i ❤️❤️ this chanel..
Nothing so elaborate. Just a recognition of reality. After Enlightenment his first words were, "Let's Eat!."
Thank you
Any reference to the artist at the end for the Om Mani Padme Hum chant / song is appreciated! Thank you!
The Sikh Mool Mantar in the background is nice. I am however, a little skeptical of western celebratues/"masters" who want a guick way to "elightenment" as just another trendy comodity to be aquired. Real enlightenment takes humility, and the grace of our Creator.
At this point am beginning to question this whole enlightenment stuff
I am atheist but I do like reading about different religions to see what the big deal is.
Buddha was a genius

According to a report by a team of archeology from Europe and US in 2010 using modern dating methods, not carbon 14, they found bowls from a site in India dated back to 2675 years old. Another words 675 BC. They said those bowls were used by Buddhist monks making daily alms rounds during the Buddha’s time in India. So, the Buddha’s teachings very old. The oldest religion in the world and the most peaceful religion in the world !
