00:00Hello everyone. My name is Balizhan Singh Bhad and I am the National Secretary of the National
00:06and International Buddhist Society. Today I want to share a powerful truth. How was Buddhism raised
00:11from India, the land of its birth? Buddhism once led the world with its message of equality,
00:17compassion, non-violence and wisdom. It empowered the poor, the oppressed and the
00:23voiceless. It rejected the caste system and their rituals of Brahmanism. But when Buddhism
00:29rose, it challenged the social and religious power of Brahman elite. Its response,
00:36Buddhist teaching was slowly absorbed and distorted. Lord Buddha was falsely declared,
00:44as Hindu avatar, Buddhist temples were converted into Hindu temple. Royal and public support was cut off.
00:49The Buddhist monk and institute universities like Nalanda and Vikramshila centers of global learning
00:55were left unprotected and eventually destroyed. And so, Buddhism was pushed out of India,
01:04not by debate, but by manipulation and separation. But today we are viewing it not with hate, but with
01:11truth, unity and dhamma. Now it's your time to join the peaceful revolution to adopt Buddhism online and
01:16receive your Buddhist certificate. Just send your name and address to my WhatsApp number. The number
01:21is on the screen. Don't wait. Accept Buddhism from home. Reclaim your heritage and face yourself from
01:26from cost-based discrimination. Jai Bhim, Namo Buddha.
