There were Many Buddhists in Afghanistan and North west India. Kushan emperor Kanishka the Great was a great patron of Buddhism & is still respected in Afghanistan by the non-Islamist nationalists. There was a lot of contact and even blending with the Greeks at that time. Many of the Kushan coins have Greek alphabets. But all this was destroyed by the Islamic invaders. Hindus fought back while Buddhists were mostly passive. Hindus could hold their own in large parts of India but Buddhists were either all slaughtered or converted. The great Kushan Empire after whom the mountains of Hindu-Kush gets their name was a Hindu/Buddhist Empire. Islam is the real danger to every civilization.

Buddhism in its exoteric form is indeed a death cult. The buddhism which Evola presents is not the buddhism practiced nowadays in China or Southeast Asia, but an esoteric, traditional, even "secret" buddhism. Mainstream buddhism rejects the existence of the Self, it is monistic: every living being is just a part of the universe, like a rock or a river - there is no real "Self", you don't actually have a soul, you just think you have. This is extremely different from what Evola talks about.

Yo. As a Buddhist in the USA I feel exactly the same

I love a lot of the teachings of Buddhism and I have actually studied and practiced it in Japan. However, I don't like its negative attitude towards pagan religions. Buddhism claims that the gods are actually weak and vulnerable, that Creation itself is a bad, deceiving thing, a terrible illusion from which you must absolutely escape, and also that everything bad that happens to you is your own fault for something you did in a previous life, yet you can't know what you've done in order to fix it... I suffer but I can never know why I'm suffering - that seems pretty unfair. Pagan religions have a much more positive attitude towards Life, the Creation, and the Creator who manifests in his own creation as many deities with different functions. Just an example: in Zen Buddhism it is believed that Bodhidharma said that if during a spiritual practice or ritual you see one of the gods appear before you, that's actually a demon, an illusion, or a weak god who's trying to deceive you and you must completely reject him. While pagans aim at the exact opposite - having a deep profound connection with the gods, not rejecting them as demons... Correct me if I'm wrong, I would love to hear your opinions on this topic.

Also, I've practiced Buddhism in Japan, I have a Zen teacher who is a monk, and I've been reading books on it for many years now, so you really don't know how much I've invested in it. These are the facts - at its core, Buddhism has a very dismissive view concerning the gods and the way we perceive their creation, it requires impossible superhuman discipline to reach nirvana that no contemporary human can ever achieve, and, as I already pointed out, it claims there is reincarnation /rebirth in the literal sense because of your karma (although not of an atman but of a mind flow called santana which is really vague). These are the main points I dislike about the teaching. Esoteric/ Tantric Buddhism tries to address all these issues and it literally has a pantheon of divinities just like any pagan religion, but it's still rather dry.

I completely agree, Confucians are right that Buddhism symbolize the "civilized barbarianism" of East Asia. Just sad that East Asia had to be poisoned by Buddhism, it is for this reason that I am a an unironic Taiping Apologetic. That being said, I do have a lot of respect for Theravada Buddhism since they allow for native gods, tho they try to discourage praying to them because gods are limited. Gods being limited is a commonality found in all religions, however that does not mean one should not have a relationship with them. One of the major critiques by Confucian on Buddhism, that is they fail to honor relationships, as well as other virtues - of ontological, metaphysical and ethical consideration. In China Buddhists would destroy shrines to deities that did not belong to them, same with the Daoists which Zhu Xi notes is influenced by the former and vice versa. Making it a tradition of little worth. There is nothing spiritual about encouraging the destruction of wildlife for soy cultivation because you can't eat meat and then die in the gutter while muttering amida butsu. However as a tradition of discipline, I can respect Theravada (And they allow for consumption of meat). Their science of consciousness is sometime that I can agree with, tho I reject their idealism. Since you practices and studied in Japan, are you familiar with Japanese Confucianism? Okada Takehiko perhaps? He is latest Japanese Confucian I know of and in his Zazen to seiza he criticize Buddhism, especially zen.

@ramon2008

​@@user-pu4lv6pr5vi don't see how buddhists fail to honor relationships. the dharma teaches respect for all life and relationships. it only rejects extreme attachment since it is a hindrance towards enlightenment. as far as the treatment of other gods in Buddhism, Buddhism stresses the attachment that Gods have to the material world, Buddhism aims to surpass that and go further through various techniques of meditation. You might want to look into Vajrayana Buddhism, that is what really interests me in particular. I am also influenced by various Native American tribes' way of life. As a native North American, there must be a way to combine both in my opinion. In any case, it is the ideas of the West that I feel must be abandoned. ​

The idea that some souls are more nobler is resembling the actual teaching that some souls have a low karma and is not able to learn the truth of buddhism even if spoken to directly. there was this story of a traveling monk in china, and he had met a beggar under a monastery. the monastery was on a mountain and he travels up and down it daily for his studies and his begging alms. he said to the beggar that if he goes up the mountain with him every time, and recite the mantra and say a prayer, the monk will give him enough money to fill his belly. the beggar didnt understand and got confused and angry, asking "why do i have to go all the way up the mountain and recite the mantra when i can just sit here and ask for food?" this story shows that some people would rather go starving than to learn about buddhism. and evola's teaching of spiritual order is a resemblance of the karmic balance inside of everyone, one may be overflowing with good karma while others are devoid of it.

This is seriously enlightening content. Keep it up!

What is relationship between Jainism and Buddhism..? In 0.30 min the sculpture you've shown it's not of Buddha but it's of Mahavira, founder of Jainism.

I failed to notice clothes on statue. you are right it's Buddha statue.

The problem of Buddhism in the west is that is heart-oriented while it should be head-oreinted. Most of the time the followers of Buddhism in the west are women so is understandble. In the early days of the Buddha his doctrine was a masculine and virile ascetic way, meant for few fearless and strong men who lived in forests renouncing the world. The need of knowing the ultimate truth and to overcome suffering pushed the Buddha to enlightenment, while the compassion for all sentient beings came after naturally. Buddhism today in the west is a castrated doctrine used as a tool by the followers of cultural marxism to protest aganist the religion of their country since they are " Liberal ", while in the East buddhist monks are the most conservative people in the country.

I agree with you to a certain degree. However you seem to fall into the trap of dualism. Women are this and men are that. I like to think of harmony rather than dualism. Women are just as capable of meditation and rigorous spiritual pursuit. Is is in fact Christianity that divides men and women and traditionally denigrated the position of women. Women are amazing just as men are amazing. Men and women are a team and men take leadership in some aspects and women in others. I agree about cultural marxism with you though. I myself am Buddhist but not "left" leaning. Buddhism is Buddhism, not a toool for political agendas.

I would say that Rene guenon would be even better to get into with this subject as a whole. The whole perennial, traditionalist school of thought really is one of the last great bastions we have in the west.

The west is done for man. Rene Guenon became Muslim and was fascinated by the Hindu religion. Catholicism has lost its esoteric dimension and the majority of hermetic groups are charlatans.

From this video, it seems like Evola was more partial to the Theravada tradition - does he write anything about the different lineages?

Nope, just cherry picks what he likes from Western translations of the Pali Canon.

@dan ayala So are you insinuating Evola was incorrect?

He's factually incorrect about Buddhism in Japan. Zen Buddhism, the most influential flavor of the religion in Japan, is actually a type of Mahayana Buddhism. And while it is hierarchical (in the sense of having Masters and students), it is far from "traditional" in the proper sense of the word. Quite the opposite: Zen is known for encouraging quirky and novel answers to age-old problems.

That does not make Zen non-traditional. Zen is based on a strict hierarchy. As any religion, Buddhism stresses rules of conduct for the material world and the spiritual. Buddhism teaches respect for others, parents, families, and life partners. It stresses self respect and proper conduct in society.
