  1.  @paolamaria1992  The West became better because it industrialised. It has NOTHING to do with Christianity. Stop being delulu.

  2.  @paolamaria1992  Civilisations rise and fall. It happens to every civilisation, understand this. Asia's civilisations were once at their peak but declined but now they're once again rising which is why we call it the Asian Century. Why would a German, Dutch or Italian need to go to Pakistan or Sri Lanka? Stop being obtuse and understand the fact that Christianity has NOTHING to do with development, in fact Christianity is what causes a country to not develop. There are plenty of White people that have retired and live in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Bali and Cambodia because cost of living is cheaper but also because these countries/regions are tropical and safe.

  3.  @paolamaria1992  Most Asians in the world live in Asia, it has a population of 4 billion. What on earth are you talking about??? Most Asians don't live in Asia?? What on earth are you saying?? Get educated! What is your obsession with Pakistan and Sri Lanka and since when do they equal the whole of Asia???? Understand the fact that Christianity has NOTHING to do with development. Get off the high horse because there is absolutely NOTHING appealing about Christianity. Believing in a gigantic man in the sky, forcing people to convert to that religion, discrimination of people who don't believe in Christian practices. Christianity hinders development, y'all don't hold a flame to any of the Eastern religions. Got it??

  6.  @paolamaria1992  Christianity has NOTHING to do with industrialisation. That's not ignorance, it's a fact. Cry harder. States succeed when they are secular, when they abide by religious rules they collapse and wither. No country is successful when they combine religion, especially Abrahamic religions, with government. Take your Christian tears elsewhere, nobody gaf about that.

  7.  @paolamaria1992  A country that combines religion, especially Abrahamic religions, with government never succeeds. Secular nations thrive, not religious theocracies dictated by an imaginary huge bearded man living in the sky. Cry harder.

  12.  @paolamaria1992  Why do Christians constantly belittle other beliefs? This video is about Buddhism but this Christian woman is here arguing and saying her religion is the best. Learn to respect other beliefs and other people. There's a reason why so many people in the West mock Christianity cause of people like you.

  13.  @paolamaria1992  Not all African countries have Muslim communities and why are you blaming Muslims? Christians control all of the African countries that I am talking about. You can't argue any further because you've been proven wrong. Christianity drastically affects the way a society behaves. We can see how Christianity persecutes non-Christians, as was the case in South Vietnam and we can see how its has strong influence on the way people must live their lives. It changes society completely and has nothing to do with development. There is a reason why the so-called Bible Belt in the US is among the poorest regions in America. Accept these facts.

  17.  @battlerushiromiya651  That has nothing to do with Buddhism. You need to do some research on Asian history

  18.  @battlerushiromiya651  They became Christian during colonisation though.

  19.  @battlerushiromiya651  Sectarianism in Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand has nothing to do with religion. Idk why you'd even mention them.

  20.  @battlerushiromiya651  Singapore has a Buddhist majority. Most Japanese identify as atheist because they don't believe in organised religion. Shinto-Buddhism is not organised religion, it's a cultural system. Don't conflate your Western understanding of religion on Asian societies.

  21.  @battlerushiromiya651  Wrong. That had nothing to do with it.

  22.  @battlerushiromiya651  Why do Christians come to other religion videos and always proclaim how great they are? If y'all are so great then why are y'all constantly having to say it?

  23.  @battlerushiromiya651  You trying to make issues in Sri Lanka, Thailand and Myanmar (and Cambodia which I literally have no idea why you even mentioned that country) is so funny. Not everything is about religion. There is a world outside of it and you coming here and trying to simplify issues, particularly ones that emerged during colonisation, as religious-based is such an asinine thing to do. So-called Asian Century and still people don't know what's going on in Asia.

  24.  @battlerushiromiya651  Where in Buddhism does it say that genocide is allowed or that there is a god telling them what to do? Maybe stop conflating religion with ethnic politics because Lhotshampa Buddhists, Shan/Rakhine/Karen Buddhists and Sri Lankan Tamil Buddhists were not spared the violence they have faced.
    1
  25.  @battlerushiromiya651  A few times a year? This is what I am talking about. You're imposing your Western worldview on an Asian setting. People in Japan don't become Shinto or Buddhist a few times a year, being Shinto-Buddhist is a simple part of the traditional Japanese culture. Its the same reason why North Korea is lenient towards Buddhism than other religions and has even designated Vesak a public holiday at times in the past because they view Buddhism as an integral part of Korean culture. So don't conflate ethnic nationalism in parts of S/SE Asia with religion.

  26.  @battlerushiromiya651  They don't justify their actions by using Buddhism. It's ethnic nationalism. You're going to have to do some thorough research on Eastern mindsets to understand what I am saying or we're going to keep going round and round in circles. There is no principle in Buddhism that encourages such behaviour. You can keep trying to conflate things but the fact is that you don't actually understand what you're talking about.

  27.  @battlerushiromiya651  and that's their opinion and you got mad.

  28.  @battlerushiromiya651  You saying these things is because you think religion dictates everything. Saying things like Christian countries" and "Buddhist countries" makes no sense when you actually think about it.

  29.  @battlerushiromiya651  Where in Asia? A Christian-majority country or is it an Islamic-majority nation cause you most definitely are not from a Buddhist-majority one or any East Asian one for that matter.

  30.  @battlerushiromiya651  and the Buddhist Crisis in Vietnam started because of Christian persecution.

  31.  @battlerushiromiya651  Buddhism is not a culture. It's a belief system. You're talking about Sinhalese Buddhist culture, Bamar Buddhist culture, Thai Buddhist culture etc.

  32.  @battlerushiromiya651  I'm not saying Christianity is the reason for any bad things. I was merely trying to point out to that Christian woman how her view was wrong because it made no sense.

  33.  @battlerushiromiya651  Really? If that's the case then why were Lhotshampa Buddhists expelled and Shan, Rakhine and Karen Buddhists genocided? You won't be able to answer that.

  34. As the other user said, they believe in reincarnation and this is based on your karma. All part of samsara (cycle of life).

  35. Buddhism isn't actually heavily influenced by Chinese folk religion. There are different branches of Buddhism and it differs on location as it merged with local beliefs. In Chinese culture, Buddhism is practiced alongside Chinese folk religion but the root of Buddhism is very much "Indian" in terms of rituals, imagery and traditions. Some of these traditions/rituals have merged with the local cultures where Buddhism spread. For example, the Hungry Ghost festival is a major Chinese festival but its roots lie in India (where it's practiced by the Hindus). The Hungry Ghost festival tradition made its way to China through the spread of Buddhism and was merged with Taoist traditions to create the form of the Hungry Ghost festival that is now celebrated in Han Chinese culture. In Japan, the festival is only Buddhist in nature, same applies to South Korea, Cambodia etc.

  36.  @jayantkamble6082  You're speaking about Chinese Buddhism but this is only for China and for Chinese communities. In other parts of Asia, Buddhism is reflective of the local cultures.

  37. He never created Buddhism. The term Buddhism came about to describe the teachings or Dharma that the Buddha taught his followers during the time he was alive.

  38.  Siyovaxsh En-sipad-zid-ana  Yeah it's because of colonialism and missionary work.

  40.  @VeganSanatani  We don't worship Hindu gods. Nobody worships Hindu gods to gain something. It's a form of paying respect. There are statues of Hindu gods in Buddhist temples because of the influence of Hinduism on many South and Southeast Asian cultures. Go to Mongolia or Kalmykia in Russia which wasn't influenced by Hinduism and you won't see those types of Hindu gods in the temples or monasteries because they weren't influenced by Hinduism.

  41.  @VeganSanatani  No, what they're saying is right. Buddhism is a Dharmic religion like Hinduism but it's not the same. The very reason Buddhism exists is because the Buddha didn't agree with the primary practices taught in the Vedas.

  42.  @VeganSanatani  Nah, I do understand it. Buddhism is not Hinduism and we don't call ourselves Sanatanis - like I said, never even heard of it. Sorry but this is the truth.

  43.  @VeganSanatani  What are you talking about?? I'm talking about Buddhism not Jains. Why would I be talking about Jains? I'm not a Jain.

  44. ​ @VeganSanatani  Please don't lie. We all know you've never stepped foot in Mongolia. I never faulted Tantra Buddhism, I'm talking about basic teachings that the Buddha taught in his days. I'm not crying, it's actually you who is doing exactly that. Idk why Indian male Hindu nationalists are like this. Y'all are the reason why there is so much hate towards Hinduism now. I'm sickened.

  45.  @VeganSanatani  YouTube, Twitter and Instagram should be banned in India, so we're free from all of this. TikTok is gone, we need those three gone too.

  46.  @lonelypeopleruglydeformedc8139  Eastern religions" means religions developed in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia and are based on the concepts of Dharma and Tao. Eastern religions can be divided into two separate categories: Dharmic religions which originated in India and Taoic religions which originated in East Asia. Both of these subgroups interacted with each other heavily through syncretism so they are collectively described as Eastern religions.

  47.  @lonelypeopleruglydeformedc8139  Islam is a Western religion or more specifically an Abrahamic religion, it is fundamentally different to the beliefs of Eastern (Dharmic and Taoic) religions.

  48.  @lonelypeopleruglydeformedc8139  Yes West Asian cultures were heavily orientalised and still are.

  49. No. Vesak is completely unrelated to Vaisakhi. They just have similar names because their names both derive from the Indian lunar month of Vaisakha. Buddhism itself emerged long before Sikhism did and the calendrical system of the Buddhist lunar calendar is based on the Hindu one. So the name "Vesak" was coined as a result of the month of Vaisakha, which is the month the holiday is celebrated. Also, Vesak and Vaisakhi are not celebrated on the same day. Per the Gregorian calendar, Vesak is celebrated somewhere in mid-May whilst Vaisakhi is celebrated on April 14 and lines up with the other South and Southeast Asian New Year festivals which are not correlated to religion.
