Thank you Mr.NiceGuy, It was worth an hour. We hail from the land where Buddha was born and we lack the essence of Buddhism in ourselves. Middle Path, renouncing the extremities of pahadiyapan and madhesipan, is the only solution to the current crisis in Nepal.

I have considered Sajha as a little bump in my silently flowing mind; however, it has been my inspiration and strength as well. When Sajha try to tempt, seduce me, I run away. But I do visit her for positive as well as negative (disturbing, tempting, and attractive) reasons. When I read debates, they fill me up with ideas; when I watch the videos like this, they inspire me to be something.

Since few days, my mind was roaming around the sea shore. Having watched this video it has reached to the mountain top. Almost discharged battery got fully recharged and a weak cat turned to a Mighty Lion.

You are what your mind is! State of your mind is the real you!

I feel so grateful to the person who posted this video here; my heart got so filled that I couldn’t stop myself from dropping few words.

Quite after a while, I feel lucky today that I could see word Buddha in Sajha; the world which takes so much space in my life. The word which thrills me makes me to feel complete and full. I feel I have special connection to him; perhaps my heart vibrates to one of the harmonics of his heart.

When I was watching video my heart got so filled that tears oozed out from my eyes. This often happens to me when I read his words and see things related to him. I remember, once, after a month long meditation retreat, I was traveling around Lumbini by bus. I was filled with sympathetic joy (Mudita) and crying out all the time. The fellow passengers would have guessed that I might have cried out of sorrow because most of the people are familiar with the tears of sorrow only. I don’t remember in my whole life (except childhood) I might ever have cried out of sorrow or agony. I always cry out of love, tears of love come only if your heart gets filled with compassionate love and it is the real happiness.

In this tempting world desires make me to drift away from him (Buddha). As much as I find away from him, that much I feel miserable. My strong devotion to him and his teaching is not out of blind faith but from an enlighten faith. I have walked few steps in his sublime path; I have followed few chapters of his sublime teaching. I have no words to define the excellency of the teaching of this mighty son of Nepal.

When I read the news of Nepal, I feel so pity for my fellow citizens. I wish I could introduce them the teaching of Buddha. I am optimistic person with positive thinking; one day, I believe, Dhamma will fill love in the heart of all Nepali by kicking the anger out. Dhamma will be a glue to join the hearts of Nepali who are divided by caste, geography, color, language and ethnicity.

After all Buddha is common to all of us! After all Dhamma is common to all of us!

Buddha was a very wise man. Not a god. There is no god. Only an unknown creator. Jesus was a man. So was the Prophet Muhammed. All were physically identical to you and me. Nothing out of the ordinary, its their realizations and ideals that our logic/reason accepted, and that is what we remember them for.
Any agnostic/atheists out there?
*raises his hand.

No Nice Ji, it will never happen. Peace comes from the positive mind. Video can triger positivity but can not bring the positivity. People have to work hard ... harder ... hardest to get positivity.

Buddha's teaching has been misunderstood since few centuries after him. It is a science which need lot of effort to apply, once you apply it, you get results. You can not get peace just by singing his verses, reading his discourses and taking his name. You have to follow his teaching to get peace, which is very hard . ... Very very hard.

Peace is a state of mind. You can say it as a non-bothering state. If your all negative emotions get settled, your mind becomes even, which is called peace. You need a lot of effort to deal with negative emotions. More you get settled your mental negativities more you acheive piece.

Peace won't come easily in Nepal. People are adicted to anger and they enjoy it. Unless and until they realize that anger is wrong, they won't look for the peace. You need a certain level of wisdom to realize that the anger is wrong....I don't think most of us have that level of wisdom yet.

Peace is a collective effort of every single citizen. To have peace in country there should be peace in the heart of citizens. To have peace in the heart, you have to have desire for the peace.... it will take time for us to desire for the peace because we don't have wisdom to recognize the beauty of peace.... we have tradition of enjoying anger. We believe in anger rather than in peace.

In conclusion, real peace comes through wisdom and most of us don't have that.

Ayodhya should have been a part of Nepal and an equal area of land around Lumbini should have been part of India.

Symbolic Ji, I value your sentiment. However, it is very necessary for us to learn few things.

First: Buddha is not that important, what really important is his teaching, the Dhamma; as Michael Faraday is not that important but the electricity is. To honor Buddha for his incardable teaching is good but not important.

Our society is dying out of sickness and Dhamma is the ultimate medication. Instead of taking medicine we are quarrelling and claiming for the Doctor who discovered it... He was mine .... he was not yours... it seems completely insane to me.

Second: Buddha means the enlightened one, the awakened one. Siddhartha got enlightened in India, he got awakened in India. In deeper sense, Buddha was born under the Budhi Tree. Buddha is the personification of wisdom and he got wisdom in India. Person was born in Nepal, which is historic fact and no one can deny it, but the wisdom was born in India, we must accept it. Siddhartha became Buddha because of the Wisdom.

Most of the things associated with Buddha are in India. Rajgiri, Saravasti, Kushinara, Sarnath, Bodhgaya, Vaishali are the names that thrill me. Buddha spent most of his life in the place which lies in today's India. India is the refuge for the great Buddhist leader Dalai lam and his followers. There are many real life Buddhist live in India. Arunchal, Sikkim, Asham, Kashmir, Himanchal, Maharastha are the stats where you can find many real traditional Buddhists. India has all right to advertise Buddha.


Third: There are many countries in the globe which advertise Buddha to lure the tourists. Thailan, Laus, Cambodia, Vietnam, Shrilanka, Mangolia, China, Japan etc. Most of the tourists vist Myanmar because of Buddha and his teaching. It seems Buddha had never been in Myanmar but he is highly regarded there compare to India and Nepal. Burmise people feel they are quite closer to Buddha and from my objective observation, Buddha is more theirs then ours.

Forth: We have very bad tradition of living on ancestor's name. This is the sign of weak mentality. If our ancestors overshde us, it means our society is not evloving in the progressive direction. We want to be identified by the name of 25 century old person. This gauge our postition in the world civilization. I think time is slipping out, we have to wake up.
