Tibet Buddhism
Indian Buddhism in China and Tibet Part 2
In the rest of India, however, Hinduism, then, has gained ground against Buddhism. There are many causes of the decline of Buddhism. Under the reign of several kings Hindus, Buddhists were persecuted. Any other supporting institutions Buddhist Hindu leaders, but as centers of learning and culture. From the time of King Asoka, the Sangha had become materially prosperous both royal patronage and with the support of wealthy people. Life in the monasteries was comfortable and easier, and more attracted many new members who joined the Sangha as a means of earning a living and some them have brought their old ways to think and preach their own theories wrong. As these corrupt people can not be excluded completely from the university, addressed Division Buddhism, the weakness of the Sangha, and adverse developments in the doctrine.
Furthermore days later, when universities were Buddhists prosperous, the monks crowded into these centers of learning and self-isolated nation. They are accustomed to easy living and relaxed and resigned to the original ideals of the renunciation and sacrifice. When Mahayana became stronger, the monks became more engaged in philosophical speculation and religious celebrations. Hindu ideas and practices crept in. The number of Bodhisattvas, gods and goddesses have greater collaboration with different modes of worship and a new literature to explain. superstitious beliefs, the devotion and the use of magical charms and rituals were encouraged when there was a decline in the importance of ethics. This unhealthy trend is called Tantrism took shape in the twelfth century Buddhist and has been strengthened over the last centuries.
In a short time is almost identical Buddhism Hinduism. In the meantime, Sankara (1331-1881 BE or 788-838 AD), a great Hindu philosopher, used the Madhyamika and Yogacara ideas of Nagarjuna and Asanga to form his own philosophy and idea taken from Buddhist monasteries Hindu foundation (or Mat Mat h ฺ ฺ ha) as centers of education, propagation and social programs as the Buddhists did. They were near the first Famous shrines also serve as places of rest for pilgrims. Thus, while Buddhism Hinduized degenerated into a form which has lost its good reputation and became increasingly weak, Hinduism absorbed by their good points, and jumped back to the cold as a Protestant. Even some Buddhist monasteries have become Indian institutions.
RISE AND FALL Srivijaya and Champa
The form of Buddhism that has flourished under the Pala kings were also degenerated Tantric Buddhism. He was educated at the University of Nalanda and Vikramasila Odantapura. Thus spread to Tibet, Sumatra, Java and other countries.
The Indians began to migrate Java and other islands of Indonesia Buddhists in early seventh century. In the tenth century, a great empire called Srivijaya came to power with its center of Sumatra. The Chinese monk I-Tsing pilgrim on route to India, visited this area BE 1214 (671 AD), and recalled them Hinayana Buddhism. But from the fourteenth and the nineteenth century, the Srivijaya empire was ruled by kings were great patrons Sailendra Mahayana. During this period, the Great Stupa of Borobudur, the world's largest Buddhist temple, was erected in central Java.
Sailendra Kings extend their influence in the Malay Peninsula, southern India and Ceylon, and established colonies in Borneo, Celebes, the Moluccas and the Philippines. They have maintained ELATIONS diplomatic relations with the Pala kings and close to the great University of Nalanda. And through these relationships, the Tantric form of Buddhism in Indonesia and has prospered gradually disappeared as soon as Hindu India. In the eighteenth century, the Srivijaya kingdom fell and was replaced in BE 1837 (1294 AD) by the Javanese Hindu Kingdom of Madjapahit. The new kingdom, however, flourished for a century before splitting into divisions. The wars between them is easy prey for the Arabs Indonesia finally brought the empire to an end in the middle of the 21st century and becomes his tour of the islands to Islam.
Also in the seventh century Buddhist, other Indians migrated to the east coast Indochina, which is now modern southern Vietnam. There is a kingdom called Champa (simply called Ham) was created and flourished until it was invaded by the Annamese 21st century. In Buddhism Champa followed the line of development similar to that of Indonesia. Under the Annamites Chinese Mahayana form, with Islam, has replaced the old form professed by the Chams.
