- Differences and Similarities in the Statues of Buddha (Buddhism) and Mahavira (Jainism):
Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankar (Supreme Teacher) of Jainism.
He was a contemporary of Gautama Buddha, though there is no evidence that they ever met each other. However, they and their followers did regularly meet with each other's followers.
To the untrained eyes, statues of Buddha and Mahavira Image might appear the same, but both are very different when observed closely.

As a Buddhist monk from Thailand, previously when i went to India, i could not dispart who is Buddha or Mahavira
Yes, This video helped me too. Taking the advantage of that fact also groups of people in Sri Lanka spread the myth that the Lord Buddha is from Sri Lanka. I saw a PDF that says the Lord Buddha is from Thailand. Please tell me kindly, Is that myth still going on in Thailand?
@@dtakamalakirthidissanayake9770 just only local legend
Hai
One of the most important detail of lord mahaveer statue is,on the lower part of the throne or aasana of mahaveer there will be always a mark of lion(this is because every tirthankar bhagwan have their sign;which is always depicted in their throne so is lion associated with mahaveer prabhu)
Thanks for the important addition. Highly appreciated.
The sign of the buddha is also the lion. The best way to tell the difference is that the Buddha is wearing a kashāya and Mahavira is naked
Liked and subbed! Can't remember last time I learned so much (generalized!) info in so short a time. This is especially good for those not born into Dhamma cultures who have no one to tell them this kind of general information!
Thanks for your kind appreciation !!

Lord Mahvira is referred to as Nigantanathapuththa (නිගණ්ඨනාතපුත්ත) in the Tripitaka. Groups of people who spread the myth that the Lord Buddha is from Sri Lanka are more likely to make comments saying that Lord Mahvira and Nigantanathapuththa are two different people.
Thank you.
Kindly add to the description, if any information available to acknowledge that the Lord Mahvira and Nigantanathapuththa are not two different people.
Thanks for your kind suggestion. It will be covered in a detailed upcoming video on the similarities and differences between the teachings of Mahavira (Nigantanathapuththa) and Buddha.

The teachings are far more important then the difference in the postures...don't be distracted....
Very nice and clear explanation. Now no one shall be confused between Jain pratimaa and Budhha pratimaa.
Thanks for your enlightenment of the two figures!
Thanks. I am glad that you liked the video.
I would have to disagree with several points here for example the chest of Gautama is not always covered by cloth and there are many many statues and depictions from around the world with his chest exposed or almost completely exposed and the swastika displayed
Well accepted!! Highly appreciate that you took time to provide your valuable feedback.
🙏NAMO BUDDHAYA 🙏
Thank you for teaching the world about Buddhism and related dharmas! Your channel is of great value!
Could you please let me know what is represented above Mahavira's head? It is bell-shaped and at 1:08 it even looks like an umbrella (I'm sorry if the comparison is inappropriate, I just want to learn what it is).

Buddhism was born in India. Is there no one out there today who can guide me?

පෙනීම සහ දැකීම කියන්නෙ දෙකක්, ඒක තේරුම් ගත්තොත් ජයින මහාවීර තුමා සහ අපේ ගෝතම බුදුහාමුදුරුවෝ අතර වෙනස තේරුම් ගන්න පුළුවන්, ඒක තේරෙන්නේ නැත්නම් ඒක බුද්ධිය පිලිබඳ ප්රශ්නක්..
A true proper Swastika on chest of Buddha contrast to the diamond.
The elongated ear lobes are not due to wearing heavy earrings. Even today, Sherpas of Nepal have elongated ear lobes. I have seen Sherpa people in Australia with elongated ear lobes. That is their genetic make up. Sherpas are related to Shaakya clan which is the clan of the Gautham Buddha.
Perhaps the Buddha statues were made following the statues of Mahavira.
Idol worship in India started by Kushan Kings who adopted Buddhism. Gandhara and Mathura were the two places first to create idols of Buddha in Afghanistan and India. Later Mahavir's were created much similar to Buddha.
@@GD-dx6eg Thank you. Yes, the statues appeared 1st century AD.

Jainism is the best jai jinendra vardhamana mahavira is not founder of jainism .jainism has no founder .mahavir is 24 th tirthankar (spritual master ) of jains and reformer of jainism ❤❤
Despite the Dhigambara and Switambara, two main traditions..When I read about them I see Mahavira is more intance than Buddha when living in austerities...for eg; mahavira is known to have been said that waving hands is even not a good thing for it will violate the micro atoms...👋🥴
he didn't say that ever
Don't spread misinformation
First read each and every jain scripture carefully
That's why Buddha refuted the Jain religion and emphasized on the middle way. 😂
Means by leaving just one cloth buddha can be mahaveera...
But mahaveera can not be buddha because he already left everything
"If you want something you have to give something, if you want everything you have leave everything"
Nothing is free in this world😁
Cloth is boundation to cover our real body, body is boundation for our real self which is soul
We can leave cloth and can make our body free...
We can make karma zero, leave this body and our soul will get rid of birth cycle by attaining moksha...
Elongated ears are related to 32 marks of great person believed in ancient india. It is nothing to with royal lineage or wearing heavy jwellery.
जैन धर्म - अहिंसा
बौद्ध धम्म - न्याय ( हिंसा या अहिंसा को नहीं बल्कि, बौद्ध धम्म न्याय को मानता है।
जूल्म करने वाले से, जूल्म सहने वाले, ज्यादा गूनहगार होते हैं, क्योंकि ऐसा करके वो, अपने साथ, अन्याय अत्याचार को बढ़ावा देते हैं। ---
तथागत बूद्ध
अत्याचार करणे वाले से, अत्याचार सहणे वाला, बडा अपराधी होता हे...
भागवत गीता का हे ye बुद्ध ने नहीं bataya he ❣️
अधूरा ज्ञान हमेसा विनाशकारी होता है... पहले jainism के अहिंसा और हिंसा के प्रकार तो जान लो..फिर बौद्ध धर्म के न्याय की बात करना...
Okay Dalit 😂
