In about 525 years before Jesus, Buddha had predicted: "Two thousand five hundred years later, but Buddhism has about 700 million followers worldwide, but disappeared from India, where previously Buddhism was a major mental movement, during the first century to X. Why is it happening so?
newspaper Le Point: It defines how Buddhism?
P. Cornu : It is the spiritual path aimed at self-liberation from ignorance and confusion, leading to the origin of suffering, and help achieve enlightenment, or a form can be stripped every illusion, and can form from the ultimate truth will manifest . Buddhism is often viewed as a religion, in the Buddhist sense advocated a moral way, a philosophical treatise, and rituals recommended way to practice fine spirit of human liberation purpose: therefore have to put faith in the Buddha to step on that road . Yet the Buddha is not a god, and Buddhism, also called Bouddha-Darma (Dharma Buddha's) is not a heavenly religions, in the sense that a creative gods .
newspaper Le Point: Was it a reaction against Dao Ba-la-keeper or not?
P. Cornu : Buddha appeared at a time that the Vedic texts of his Brahmin Directed She has been criticized for only focusing on ceremonial know, some people do not accept this aspect of Dao Ba-la professional stand-out classics new draft called Upanisad, the experience is more interested in personal salvation . Buddha's path in the context of the evolution of classical Upanisads, however, personality characteristics enemies of logic and experience of different Buddha forms of Dao Ba improvements his Brahmin through the medium including classics such Upanisad .
newspaper Le Point: What are the key differences that the opposing views between the two movements?
P. Cornu : At the heart of the teachings of the Buddha are impermanent nature of all things and events that do not have a "self" longevity, and what we call the normal correlation or is created based on the same multiple conditions, the principle that all phenomena that can only exist in a solidarity, does this ever make conditions for the existence of other phenomena .
ambition to can control everything and stop hearts desire, with any price, the motion of impermanence, will give rise to the misunderstanding of this world and therefore only bring nothing but pain .
At Is that so ?
Because all of our actions are aimed at controlling the world map and all existence, and the stress it would necessarily create a huge hole a short way inside is what we wish to see and believe things that are true, and the other is the true nature of reality .
newspaper Le Point: But how Buddhism and Hinduism sometimes use a the same language ...
P. Cornu : Yeah, but the meaning is different . Take for example the word " karma "(Industrial) (1) . In Dao Ba-la-system subjects of Vedic scriptures, karma represents a revolutionary behavioral rituals help integration with the spiritual world . regard to Dao Ba-la-subject improvements in system classic Upanisad, the word karma means the moral: depending on the behaviors of good or evil, would create a potential, and the ability to mature as he would be reborn in a lifetime Living favorable or unfavorable later .
Additionally, Hinduism advocates a form of destiny: to fall into such a class does not depend on this class and could not get out, because karma has decided like that .
Meanwhile on Buddhism, karma is a behavior, and as a first intention in mind . distinctive Buddhist karma primitive origins and consequences to development then born from karma, that's two different things can not be mistaken . incurred by the inevitable consequence, if we do nothing to defuse it, and moreover it can also purified of both karma before it is ripe .
On the other hand, karma does not force people to live in a passive social structure was predetermined: each individual should embrace their destiny to free himself themselves from karma, because there is something motivating cause of suffering, need to be overcome . Persons can also learn in a manner similar to the word "samsara" (samsara) . The word samsara carry the same meaning in both philosophy and Ba-la-Buddhist subjects, which means that existence is based on several conditions .
But for Hindus, people can only escape from samsara when the soul or "self" (atman) is free to be as integration with Great Nhat Nguyen .
Meanwhile on Buddhism, samsara is first and foremost a military man, arising from the conditions, due to the existence of a karma and desire to create their own work, so each individual must liberate ourselves from the realm of samsara . therefore, need to define the word back in each case .
P. Cornu : Yes. The entire background of Hindu myths have been recruited into Buddhism . , but also to reiterate here again, although Buddhism intake but the intake is completely different meanings .
Indeed, according to Buddhist gods are treated as belonging to the realm of samsara (reincarnation) . because the gods are still problems in the mistake ! Although they have come a long life, but when karma has been exhausted , they will fall into a different realm of samsara . they can not escape the essence of the comprehensive nature of suffering .
newspaper Le Point: But why philosophy that advocates seek liberation, even to to the gods?
P. Cornu : The Buddha did not find any way refutes something . simply put him all things in their place . gods is not the purpose nor his needs, and of course, is not an object for the refuge .
During Buddhist people rely on Enlightenment principles, the teachings lead to enlightenment, and the group who chose her teachings . This is what is known as the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma (Dharma) and Sangha (Sangha) .
principles of the Buddha's enlightenment, so he was a guide, Dharma is the word how teaching and practice the Buddha to help give advice to enlightenment; Sangha Sangha is collective, they are necessarily religious, these are sage .
considered the gods what nature a long tradition: the people he respected as neighbors and see if they are the expression of revolutionary folk, these persons will ultimately blurred, slowly one by one, before a goal wider than high . the tolerance which explains the success of Buddhism . This is a real philosophy enough flexibility to adapt to all cultures .
newspaper Le Point: Buddhism does not accept class in society. So does Buddhism against the social order of the Dao Ba-la-keeper or not?
P. Cornu : From the very beginning of the Buddha's purpose is not to change the social order . , but only to establish a religious lines, but because of the position stand outside this world, so monastic lineage was open to all individuals from all backgrounds and classes, rather than the Buddha is said to have created a rid .
newspaper Le Point: Buddhism then real strong growth in empire of King Ashoka. Why did Buddhism beliefs advocated for "self" could be consistent with the power of authority?
P. Cornu : That philosophy has not sought to change society, but only advocated personal transformation within the individual: but if so that society is going to change again, it is due each individual has to practice self-transformation of their own heart .
A-Education is a kingship lineage comes from military training; reign began in bloodshed: and that at that time he had aware of what pain is and have taken refuge.
But we also should not be confused: there is indeed a gilded legend of King Ashoka events refuge as a Buddhist, and has brought peace and happiness for the whole of his empire . Including partially true, because of the fact not only completely pink, anyhow king of Education is also an autocratic king .. .
newspaper Le Point : How to explain Buddhism conquered Asia disappeared in India, while not nearly as Hindus from Indian expansionism but still alive on this subcontinent?
P. Cornu : Buddhism against Hinduism, like an improved form of the Dao Ba-la-Buddhist subjects when exposed to this Act, Buddhism deeply rooted in the social structure and government support . But later the army was destroyed when Muslims invaded the territory of India .
Buddhism advocates the University to establish large, such as Na-lan-momentum, including thousands of monks, it is but where a large concentration of personnel should be easier to kill . Hinduism based on family structure so destroyed more difficult (3) .
should also be frank: the Muslim armies made Buddhism disappeared in India, between the dawn of the thirteenth century .

1 - Karma : ie now . translation of scriptures that Westerners do not often use the word straight has some specific characteristics of the Buddhist form of Sanskrit . example, the word Dharma, samsara, nirvana, atman, etc. ... The sutras are familiar with Vietnamese words from Chinese translation, and the reader is already familiar with the meaning of that word . would however retain the services of the Sanskrit word exactly as in the original of this article, just add from the original Chinese equivalent between the two brackets .
2 - The gods here means holy, heavenly, divine, the divine, etc. ... is worshiped in Mahayana Buddhism . A number of Hindu origin, derived from some Should local cultures depending on the country where Buddhism developed .
3 - Actually, Buddhism began to decline earlier . Huns slave downright hostile to Buddhism, and in the fifth century, and their armies invaded northwestern India, had destroyed all Buddhist center in the region . central government disintegrated and India, Gupta Dynasty collapsed . Buddhist move towards the center of the territory of India . southern kingdoms, though not necessarily hostile Buddhism, but Buddhism does not support the king of the North India .
After the Hungarian slave, the Muslim armies coming from Afghanistan invaded India, they ravaged central University Na-lan-momentum in 1199, destroyed huge library of Na-lan-momentum and killed all the monks .
That event marked the final end of a page extremely brilliant history of Buddhism lasted seventeenth century on Indian soil .END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.24/10/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
