India's greatest gifts to China : Kung Fu and Zen Buddhism

[Water Car Engineer]

Because of Buddhism, Indic civilization penetrated different peoples. Without EVER invading outside it's native lands.

Communism was created by a westerner. Just like democracy was created by westerner.

It's like how Hinduism was created by Persian Muslims.

Of course it is. This whole "globalization" is passing down western ideas, styles, etc.

@Water Car Engineer Use of Namaskar posture can be traced back to Indus Valley civilization.

It is not their fault to disagree and trash posts.

Here, most of them are under surveillance, perhaps, even more so that multiple users might be operating under each ID. We don't know.

But a little sign of agreement with us in terms that show a truth deviating away from what is told by their ruling party, would have the Red Guard at their doors knocking.

And you know what that means; severe penal servitude under the name of 'political re-education'.

So please, do not vent your spleen on them. They just don't have a choice but to do what they are doing here.

They are only doing this to save their lives and a lot of pain.

Feel bad for them.

You got it! Thats why they post 24 / 7....

Yes, I've seen that.

It's a very old gesture, and it repeats many times in art. It survived the test of time, but we'll see if it will survive globalization and the western "handshake".

Very old civilization with it's own clear distinct style.

Indian civilization is indeed very old. It was brought to the Indian subcontinent by the Aryan invaders that brought Hinduism and caste into India. In Hinduism, light skin Aryans was made Brahmans and other twice born caste. The native Australoid was the lower castes and untouchable and do the servant's task. Over time, the Aryans group intermarriage with the native Australoids and produce today's Indians. Southern India has higher percentage of Australoids while northern India has a greater percentage of Australoids.

Genetic studies says they started to mixup 4200 years ago in midst of Indus valley civization, then how can there be Aryan invasion 3500years ago.

Indians now are learning from Koreans to copy.

I don't know when did Aryan invasion happened. There could also be various invasions in the past. Just look at how many invasions took place in the India the last several centuries. So its conceivable that there are numerous invasions in the past. And they are involve invasions from the NorthWest India. So you should have ancestors that are part of the invading groups.

There is no historical or mythological reference to any conquest. Historians believed they lived side by side and then started mixing up.

No, this is very false. If you think these Central Asian horse riding "Aryans" ended bring a civilization that looks like this, you're very wrong.

They took in what was already developing as well. What they did bring in is a prototype of a future religion and language.

They never cared for skin tone that much.

Bodhi dharm was aBuddhist monk who lived during the 5th/6th Century and is traditional credited as the leading patriarch and transmitter of ZEN (chinese;chan,sanskrite;dhyna)to China. He was the third son of a Tamil King of the Pallava Dynasty.According to Chinese Legend,he also began the physical training of the SHAOLIN MONKS that led to the creation of SHAOLINQUAN.MARTIAL ARTS historians have shown this Legend stems from a17th Century qigong manual known as the YIJIN JING

Did India gifted Kung Fu to China ?

Well the correct answer is Yes and No.

Yes. Bodhi dharm introduced exercise by following certain animal style. In the above article you posted, it clearly said he begin physical training.

No. It were the Shaolin monks over several generations after Bodhi dharm that developed these exercises into martial arts. Above article clearly said it THAN DEVELOPED INTO Shaolin Quan martial arts.


So you could say without Bodhi dharm you may not have the Shaolin style martial arts.

Really .....

According to you Hindusim was born after 7 th century then. Before that what is the religion that existed in India?

Current day Hinduism is only 900 years old, combined to make one organized religion after Islamic invasions. "Hindu" it self is foreign word given by invaders.

What about Chopsticks?

There was no India from ancient time. Your civilization is called Vedic civilization, not indian. There was no India until British created it in 1947. There was however an indian subcontinent with a myriad of different kingdoms. But there was never one overall ruler of the land. Some empires like Maurya covered a huge area but it only lasted 130 years. Is your history only 130 years? Was there a continuity of the monarch under a different dynasty? What happened to the rest of the period? Do not mention Bharat, mythology is not real history. No country by the name of Bharat existed

Says who? From Vedic times, this land- this WHOLE land has been called Bharat Varsha, which continues to be the name used today. All kingdoms followed the tenets of Vedic tenets. Well into the 2oth century. The entry of islam and it's consequences that needed to be accommodated led to a different 'political' settlement- the 'state' would be secular- by no means did the people abandon their Vedic roots.
