Visit to Jaulian Buddhist Monastery

[icy]

You are now looking at the world oldest Buddhist Monastery in ruins located in Pakistan.

Jaulian are the ruins of an ancient Buddhist monastery which are quite close to Taxila, an ancient town and archeological site in northwestern Pakistan. The ruins consist of two main parts: the main stupa and the monastery of Jaulian. Taxila was an important Buddhist centre of learning from the 5th century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D. The Jaulian Buddhist Monastery is considered as the oldest university of the world. (China.org.cn/Yin Pengxuan)

Than you Icy for posting the pictures and the short story.

One may observe that many statues of the Buddha are defaced or beheaded, which is a common feature of Buddhist sites fallen under Muslim control.

This shows how much Buddhists in Sri Lanka and Myanmar have ever right to protect their culture from barbaric Muslim terrorists and their ”Sharia” law.

This also shows the Muslim nature of the terrorism perpetrated by the evil dalai (himself a Muslim), with his relentless witch-hunts against Buddhists, and barbaric destruction of statues of Buddhas.

Thank you icy for the post.

Such a waste to see ancient and historical temples destroyed. People should view these places as something historical and not destroy it because they dont like it. I wonder how would it feel like if temples of other religions are destroyed like this.

Christians and Muslims have destroyed every single temple of every single other religion wherever they could for the past two millennia. This is just their terroristic standard.

Look at Greece, all their temples without an exception in ruins. Look at Rome, the whole Europe, Central, South, and North America, Central Asia, the Middle East. All the rich heritage of traditional religions of every single civilization, all destroyed by Christianity and Islam.

We are dealing with terrorists, physical and cultural genociders. And why? Because both Christianity and Islam follow the Jewish genocidal ideology expressed in their own mass-murdering, racist manuals:

”And when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.”

Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons.”

(Deuteronomy 7:2-3)
