Some Celebrations Are Once A Lifetime!
We have so many days in our lives that we always remember as our golden memories. It is a bitter truth that none of the days from the past can be felt in the present or future. It is a great thing that our past also fades away with the passage of time. And we are lucky enough to forget the worst memories that we ever had. In parallel, we always have our desires to carry our beautiful moments. For that purpose, human beings were invented to save our feelings, moments in written forms that led human civilization into another stage. Interestingly, our knowledge and history started from the moment when humans started to write something on stones and bones, and finally, the paper format brought a revolution in this sphere. Keep aside, I am not going to write about these history books, but I want to share such a beautiful memory from my initial days in China before the COVID-19 pandemic. Today that is an evergreen memory of my abroad life with new friends and new life here in China.
I always find new fun and excitement when I read articles by my wonderful friend Hassan!
He always shows his whole life and his family and friends!
After seeing him, my family said he looked like an Indian king!😄
I always wondered why he endured the hardships of living abroad! When would he be able to live with his beautiful wife?
I felt he was a very strong person!
Since ancient times, the civilization of the Indian subcontinent has held mystery and wonder in East Asians.
1. Indo-Aryan women who fascinated East Asian men!
I have been telling Hassan that since ancient times, East Asian men have been fascinated by the women of the Indian subcontinent.😄
The reason was that I wanted to seduce Hassan!😉
Since ancient times, men in the Indian subcontinent have tempted East Asian men by showing them paintings and sculptures of Indian women.
Chinese noblewoman and her maid
Indian Buddhists lured East Asian men with the promise of marriage to Indian women.
Many East Asian men, seduced by Indian men, married Indian women, and as a result, Indian Buddhism spread throughout East Asia.
For over 2,000 years, women from the Indian subcontinent have fascinated East Asian men. The Indian women pictured here are captivating modern East Asian men.
Many East Asian men hoped to marry them.😄
Bangladeshi woman and East Asian man
The reason why East Asian men like me prefer Indian civilization to Islamic civilization is because from ancient times to the present, Bangladeshi and Indian women and East Asian men have been able to freely marry!😄
However, Islamic countries such as Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia prohibit marriage between Muslim women and non-Muslim men.
So, it is common for East Asian men to have an anti-Islamic view.
I hope Hassan is not offended by my english sentence!
A Ming-era guardian lion in the Forbidden City
Chinese guardian lions, or imperial guardian lions, are a traditional Chinese architectural ornament. Typically made of stone, they are also known as stone lions or shishi (石獅; shíshī). They are known in colloquial English as lion dogs or foo dogs / fu dogs. The concept, which originated and became popular in Chinese Buddhism, features a pair of Asiatic lions—often one male with a ball which represents the material elements and one female with a cub which represents the element of spirit— that were thought to protect the building from harmful spiritual influences and harmful people that might be a threat. Used in imperial Chinese palaces and tombs, the lions subsequently spread to other parts of Asia including Japan (see komainu), Korea, the Philippines, Tibet, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia.
There are many legends of East Asian kings marrying women from the Indian subcontinent since ancient times.
Has Hassan ever seen the Chinese guardian lions in the Forbidden City in Beijing?
Chinese guardian lions are the protectors and symbols of the Chinese emperors.
However, lions do not live in East Asia.
By the way, However, there are lions living in India.
Four Asiatic lions stand back to back on a circular abacus. The Buddhist wheel of the moral law appears in relief below each lion. Between the chakras appear four animals in profile—horse, bull, elephant, and lion. The architectural bell below the abacus, is a stylized upside-down lotus
The Lion Capital of Ashoka is the capital, or head, of a column erected by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka in Sarnath, India, c. 250 BCE. Its crowning features[1] are four life-sized lions set back to back on a drum-shaped abacus. The side of the abacus is adorned with wheels in relief, and interspersing them, four animals, a lion, an elephant, a bull, and a galloping horse follow each other from right to left. A bell-shaped lotus forms the lowest member of the capital, and the whole 2.1 metres (7 ft) tall, carved out of a single block of sandstone and highly polished, was secured to its monolithic column by a metal dowel. Erected after Ashoka's conversion to Buddhism, it commemorated the site of Gautama Buddha's first sermon some two centuries before.
The Lion Capital of Ashoka is very famous among East Asians.
Ashoka was a great figure who founded the Mauryan Empire in India and was a devout Buddhist.
Hassan found something in common between The Lion Capital of Ashoka and the guardian lions of the Chinese emperors?😉
Tablets of the Tripiṭaka Koreana, an early edition of the Chinese Buddhist canon, in Haeinsa Temple, South Korea
East Asian Buddhism or East Asian Mahayana is a collective term for the schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism that developed across East Asia and which rely on the Chinese Buddhist canon. These include the various forms of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese Buddhism in East Asia.[1][2][3][4] East Asian Buddhists constitute the numerically largest body of Buddhist traditions in the world, numbering over half of the world's Buddhists.[5][6]
East Asian forms of Buddhism all derive from sinicized Buddhist schools that developed during the Han dynasty and the Song dynasty, and therefore are influenced by Chinese culture and philosophy.[7][8] The spread of Buddhism to East Asia was aided by the trade networks of the Silk Road and the missionary work of generations of Indian and Asian Buddhists. Some of the most influential East Asian traditions include Chan (Zen), Nichiren Buddhism, Pure Land, Huayan, Tiantai, and Chinese Esoteric Buddhism.[9] These schools developed new, uniquely East Asian interpretations of Buddhist texts and focused on the study of Mahayana sutras. According to Paul Williams, this emphasis on the study of the sutras contrasts with the Tibetan Buddhist attitude which sees the sutras as too difficult unless approached through the study of philosophical treatises (shastras).[10]
The texts of the Chinese Buddhist Canon began to be translated in the second century and the collection continued to evolve over a period of a thousand years with the first woodblock printed edition being published in 983. A major modern edition of this canon is the Taishō Tripiṭaka, produced in Japan between 1924 and 1932.[11] Besides sharing a canon of scripture, the various forms of East Asian Buddhism have also adapted East Asian values and practices which were not prominent in Indian Buddhism, such as Chinese ancestor veneration and the Confucian view of filial piety.[12]
East Asian Buddhist monastics generally follow the monastic rule known as the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya.[13] One major exception is some schools of Japanese Buddhism where Buddhist clergy sometimes marry, without following the traditional monastic code or Vinaya. This developed during the Meiji Restoration, when a nationwide campaign against Buddhism forced certain Japanese Buddhist sects to change their practices.[14]
The influence of Indian Buddhism on the birth of East Asian civilization remains significant to this day.
Among the kings of ancient Korea, there were many who became Buddhists after marrying Indian women.
A commemorative Rs. 5.00 postage stamp on Queen Heo Hwang-ok was issued by India in 2019.
Heo Hwang-ok (Korean: 허황옥; Hanja: 許黃玉; 32AD – 189AD) also known as Empress Boju (보주태후; 普州太后),[2] was a legendary queen mentioned in Samguk yusa, a 13th-century Korean chronicle. According to Samguk Yusa, she became the wife of King Suro of Geumgwan Gaya at the age of 16, after having arrived by boat from a distant kingdom called "Ayuta".[3] Her native kingdom is believed to be located in India.[3][4] There is a tomb in Gimhae, South Korea, that is believed to be hers,[5] and a memorial in Ayodhya, India, built in 2020.[6]
There are many historical records and legends that East Asian royalty have married Indian women since ancient times. So, I guessed that modern East Asian men have a great sexual interest in women from the Indian subcontinent.
Hassan understands the meaning of Ghar More Pardesiya?
Modern East Asian men do not understand the content of Indian films, but they enjoy the dancing and singing of Indian women.
The songs of Indian women have a mysterious charm, longing, and intimacy for East Asian men. They feel like mothers.
The reason why modern East Asian men enjoy Indian movies is because of the attractiveness of Indian women.
This may be because Chinese and Korean royalty married Indian women, and the blood of these Indian women was mixed into modern East Asians.
I also have Central Asian Caucasian blood.
Ancient Mummies of the Tarim Basin
The discovery of the mummies of blonde Caucasian women in the Tarim Basin shocked modern East Asian men.
Modern East Asians speculate that the mummies of Caucasian women from the Tarim Basin are related to modern Indian women.
I guessed that the guardian lions of the Chinese emperors symbolized the Chinese emperors who had Indian women as their mothers.
An 18th-century painting of Padmini
Padmini, also known as Padmavati, was a 13th–14th century Rani (queen) of the Mewar kingdom of present-day India. Several medieval texts mention her, although these versions are disparate and many modern historians question the extent of their overall authenticity.[2]
Portrait of Mumtaz Mahal on ivory, 17th‑century, held at the Lahore Museum in Lahore, Pakistan
Mumtaz Mahal (Persian pronunciation: [mum.ˈtɑːz ma.ˈhal]; lit. 'The Exalted One of the Palace'; born Arjumand Banu Begum; 27 April 1593 – 17 June 1631)[6] was the empress consort of Mughal Empire from 1628 to 1631 as the chief consort of the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan.[7] The Taj Mahal in Agra, often cited as one of the Wonders of the World,[8] was commissioned by her husband to act as her tomb.[9]
Modern S.K men claim that the most beautiful women in the world are from the Indian subcontinent.
