Blue-eyed Buddha and "Aryan" Path


Blue-eyed Buddha and the Aryan [noble, enlightening] Path
At a glance - Hazara.net
(Robert Sepehr) Premiered 12/12/24: The Buddha, when he was alive in the world, said that he did not want to be worshiped. Instead, he left a practical philosophy (the path, specific instructions, guidance leading to the enlightenment he experienced) from which anyone can spiritually benefit.

Theravada Buddhism has been a significant part of Thai culture and society for over 2,000 years, with an esoteric history that is being forgotten and replaced.

  • "India" has Dravidian culture and Aryan (proto-Indo-Iranian).
  • It is very curious and almost inexplicable how Sepehr makes glaring errors. We can only conclude that he has an agenda, a preconceived notion of the truth, to push. For instance:
  1. Theravada (Thera = "elder" + vada "teaching" = "Teaching of the Elders") Buddhism does not come from the Sanskrit word Theraveda, if there even is such a word in Sanskrit.
  2. And more shockingly the "Pali canon" means the official canon (body of literature) in the Pali language (aka Magadhi, the regional dialect of the Kingdom of Magadha). Pali was the common parlance of the day, the language of the common (non-Brahmin elite) people, the language (one of the languages) the Buddha spoke. It by definition was not written in Sanskrit. (One can also speak of related Indo-European languages, dialects, and mutually understandable tongues like Prakrit and Gandhari).
  3. There is a Sanskrit canon, presumably, because there are many Buddhist-Sanskrit texts of the Mahayana/Hindu tradition.
  4. Sanskrit was the exclusive language of the Brahmins, a liturgical language (much like Latin compared to Spanish).
  5. There are at least three Sanskrits, Old, Middle, and Late just as there are phases of English: Olde, Middle, and Modern.
  6. The Brahmin priests controlled spirituality in those day. Their takeover and attempt to absorb or subsume the Buddha's unique Doctrine, the Buddha-Dharma, into the folds of their general Vedic framework, as was done to Jainism but not to other dharmas being bandied about by other shramana teachers (of which there were at least six), was successful in what much later came to be called "Hinduism" (the isms being practiced along and around the Indus River and as far back as the great Indus Valley Civilization).
  7. The Old Vedic Religion, which may be referred to as Brahmanism, the mostly secret teachings of the Brahmin priests, communicated to them from heaven through space-visitors, the "gods" (devas and brahmas), was recorded in a heavenly (unearthly) language, Sanskrit, or languages, those as yet undeciphered IVC languages of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.
  8. Sanskrit is the sacred, elitist, and exclusive language of Brahmins, which they use to distinguish and protect their caste distinctions and elite status.
  9. Brahmins taught others that "God" (Brahma, Maha Brahma, and/or Brahman) made the caste system and put them on top as the highest, His representative.
  10. The Buddha rejected the caste system. It is likely his family and people did, too, either never adopting it from the Brahmins or modifying it to suit themselves by subordinating eggheads and chaplains, seers and yogi-prophets.
  11. The Buddha was a Scythian, which the Brahmins considered "barbarians" and "nomads." They would have liked to subordinate them into their religious system and way of thinking, but they could not do so very easily.
  12. The Sakas/Shakyas/Scythians came from a neighboring land, the northwest frontier, that recognized social distinctions but held that their nobles/warriors were superior to Brahmins.
  13. They employed as counselors, royal advisors, chaplains, and such. It is not really correct to say that all the Sakas/Shakyas/Scythians were kshatriyas ("warrior caste") because the vast majority were regular people carrying out all the functions of a society.
  14. The Buddha's father, the "king" was more a chieftain in the Afghan sense, a family clan leader for a great territory (foothold) controlled by an extended family clan (mahajanapada), getting rich because of its location on the Silk Road (which was never an actual single road but a series of trade routes through the region). 
Occult Secrets of Vril: Goddess Energy and the
WARNING: This video and information seem to suggest that the Buddha or his extended family clan (the Sakas, Scythians, Shakyians) were "white," which is a modern social construct. Aryan (noble = enlightened) has nothing to do with race. German Nazis, particularly Goebbels, gave it that racist meaning, appropriating the mythology/reality of an advanced race of beings who live in our Hollow Earth (called Agartha), which is all part of ancient Indian (Buddhist, Vedic, Hindu, Jain, Theosophical, etc.) lore. The Buddha was Central Asian, not what we could today classify as Caucasian. According to maverick Indian historian Dr. Ranajit Pal, the Buddha's mother (Maha Maya Devi and the Buddha's foster mother, her sister, Maha Pajapati Gotami) were from Sistan and Baluchestan, which today is considered part of Greater Iranian/Ariyan territories, so he would have looked to us to have those features claimed by whites as exclusively "white" when it is not. The Buddhist peoples of what is today Bamiyan, Afghanistan, in the Buddha's time called Kapilavastu, Gandhara, are not the Pashtuns there today. (The Yazidis should not be confused with those original Sakas/Scythians, a displaced Buddhist tribe known as the Hazara, as casually watching the video might lead one to assume. There are many light-eyed, light-skinned people from around Asia, throughout Central Asia, North Asia, Turkey, the geopolitical Middle East, as it is not rare in the Eurasian region and Siberia/Russia). Bamiyan was one of three seasonal capitals where the Buddha grew up, which is not named other than Kapilavastu (for the country or mahajanapada name as well as the names of those three seasonal capitals, as if they were all occupying the same spot, when they were spread out over the land we would now call Afghanistan and Pakistan, site of today Gandhara and the very important ancient city of Taxila.

Who were the Hazara of Bamiyan?
How eerily similar where the Hazara once lived (Bamiyan) and now live (Quetta)

Hazara culture refers to the culture of the Hazara people, who live primarily in and around the city of Quetta, which is located in Southwest Baluchistan, Pakistan. The culture of the Hazara people is rich in heritage, with many unique customs and traditions.

It shares influences with Persian [Iranian = Ariyan], Mongol and various Central Asian cultures. The Hazara people make up to 900,000 of the population of Pakistan.

Origin
The origins of the Hazara are disputed, though there are three primary theories. The Hazara could be of Turko-Mongol ancestry, descendants of an occupying army left in Afghanistan by Genghis Khan. A second theory goes back two millennia to the Kushan Dynasty, when Bamiyan in Afghanistan – home to the large Buddha statues blown up by the Taliban – was an ancient center of Buddhist civilization.

Subscribers to this idea point to the similar facial structure of the Hazaras with those of Buddhist murals and statues in the region.

The most widely accepted theory is something of a compromise: The Hazara are mixed-race. Certain Mongol tribes did travel to Eastern Persia and what is modern-day Afghanistan, putting down roots and integrating with the indigenous community.

This group then formed their own community that became the Hazara, with their distinctive facial features, sometimes termed Mongoloid, which bear the origins of their Central Asian ancestry.

Either way the Hazara settled in Central Afghanistan, though in the mid-19th century their brutal history of persecution began when more than half their population was killed or forced into exile.

The Pashtun Amir Abdul Rehman, whom the British termed Afghanistan’s Iron Amir during the Raj, invaded the Hazara homeland in the country’s central highlands, forcing them to give up land, and pushing many into exile in Balochistan. More
