To Learn Of A Black Buddhist Past You
Must Go Back To Ancient Times



These are photographs of Modern Black People In Southern India
The Indus Valley civilization is a Black civilization that dates back to the time of the pyramids 6000 to 7000 B.C.E.. British historian Geoffrey Higgins write in his classic book the "Anacalypsis" that there were two Ethiopia one East of the Red Sea and one west of the Red Sea. The Indus Valley civilization could rival Egypt. The cities were laid out like Manhattan in New York muti-story buildings, inside trash shut, and inside toilets. The ethnic make up of India can be traced to ancient times. Aryans (white people) invaded India 1500 B.C.E. and the Oldest Aryan document (Rig Veda) tells of the battles of Blacks (indigenous people) and white (Aryan Invaders). Battles between Black and whites in the Indus Valley lasted for over 1000 years. Eventually white (Aryans) defeated the Black people and instituted the worst inhumanity to man in human history in the form of a caste system. Black people under the caste system were worst that animals hated like a rat or snake. Under the castes systems Blacks had to were a cup to catch spit, for his spit was polluting. He could com in white neighbor hood only at night for his shadow was polluting. He had to tie a broom on his butt to cover his tracks for crossing his tracks was forbidden. The outcast (Blacks has to clean corpse and wear clothes of the dead and eat only from broken plates. The women were regulated to prostitutes. The racist system was tied into the Brahmin religion disguised as Hinduism. In between the wars and the start of Brahminism enters the Black Buddha. The Buddha fought racism and we call the Buddha the Black first revolutionary Hero. Historically he was the first Black person to fight racism.

Buddhism The Religion Of Black People Emerged In India




Battles for supremacy of the Indus Valley took place for over 1000 years by 800 B.C.E. Aryans (White People) had conquered Pakistan and all of Northern India and name it after themselves Aryavarta (Aryan Land). This is when the white started the caste system against the Blacks (Sudras) untouchables. Social reactions emerged in India in the form of religions notably the Jainism and Buddhism. One time period that is important for Buddhist to learn about is the Nanda Dynasty of fourth century B.C. that was of Black origin. A Black King by the name of Madhapadma was credited to stopping Alexander's eastern advance with an Army of 80,000, horses, 200,000 foot soldiers, 800 chariots and 6000 elephants. The center of his dynasty was Magadha in what is not East Indian state of Bihar which was then and now dominated by Black people. #Note that Mahavira Jain's founder was born in Bihar in 599 B.C.E. during the time of Shakyamuni. Shakyamuni not only traveled to Bihar but attained enlightenment there.

The Nadas were succeeded by Mauryan Dynasty which was also of Black origin. The dynasty's founder Chandragupta Maurya stepped in and conquered the Nanda forces when Alexander withdrew. The Mauryas ruled what was at that time the largest empire in the world. Chandragta was succeeded by his son Bindusara around 300 B.C. E.. Bindusara was succeeded by his son , Ashoka one of the great kings in India's long history. It was Buddhism under Black King Ashoka that spread Buddhist teaching through out Asia and as far as Europe.

Shakyamuni Buddha The Warrior Prince



Shakyamuni came from a Black warrior tribe located in what is the southern region of Nepal where the Shaka clan has built a Republic. The Republic had ten Chiefs and the Chiefs chose a leader they called King. Shakya was the name of his tribe and the title "Muni" (meaning sage). Shakyamuni's father's name was Suddhodana and their capital city was called Kapilavastu. Shakyamuni was also know as Prince Siddhartha who exhibited wisdom from infancy, and he was skilled in learning as well as the martial arts. When Shakyamuni left on his path to attain Buddhahood has father dispathed five ascetics to go with Prince Siddhartha. First they trained under two ascetics and this did not lead to enlightenment. Afterwards for the next twelve years he pursued every religious practice imaginable and one day he rebelled from the religious ascetics and sat down, dug inside and attained enlightenment at the age of thirty years old.

India's Black Dynasty The Founding Of Buddhist History

The Mauryan Dynasty is a Black dynasty of the so called Sudra caste that ruled over all of the Indian continent unbroken for 150 years. Following the destruction of the Indus Valley by the Aryans (whites) the Nanda and Mauryan Dynasties was the next and final time Black people would have power in India. It was under Black rule that Buddhism was born and it was under Black rule that Buddhism spread under Black King Asoka. Aryans eventually sized power in India and destroyed the religion of Black people in India (Buddhism) and subjected Black people to a condition worst than slavery that remains in India to this day.

Understanding India's African Past

The History Of The Changing Faces And African Influence In India

Over 50,000 years ago Africans migrated into the Continent of India and established what is known as the Indus Valley Civilization. The first migration from Africa was the Ethiopian Black known as the Negrito. The next migration was the Proto-Australoid who we call Austrialian Aboriginals. These two mixtures produced the people of the Indus Valley Civilization. The next mixture is the Paleo Mongoloid race or the Mediterranean Black Mongoloid and the Black/Caucasian race. All of these phenotypes make up what we call India. With Whites on the top and Blacks at the bottom.


The Black Buddhist Past Reaches Other
Important Areas Of History


In the fifth century A.D. a Black Buddhist sage by the name of Bodhidharma introduced martial arts in China. Bodhidharma was born in 440 A.D. in Southern India in the Kingdom of Pallava. Bodhidharma traveled to China bringing with him the ancient Indian Martial arts that was common in Indian society. Bodhidharma taught monks breathing exercises based on the mystical power of chi and Shaolin Ch'uan fa o r Kung Fu was born in China that later evolved into Karate in Japan and Tae Kwon-do in Korea. In addition to teaching Karate Bodhidharma introduced Zen Buddhism the most well know form of Buddhism in the world. Nichiren Daishonin founder of True Buddhism debated Zen Buddhist.

Black Buddhist Missionaries Reached Asia And Europe

Stonehenge is an archaeological site in England where Black Buddhist built a temple in England before whites ever came to England. The first inhabitants of England were Black Buddhist from India. Ancient British Historian Godfrey Higgins in his book the Anacalypsis explains Stonehenge to be a Black Buddhist Temple built by Black Buddhist from India. Read the Anacalypsis and learn all about Buddhist and Black Buddhist history. Buddhist history is exciting.


Understanding Buddhism, The Black Thing And India

The original Indians were dark skinned people who looked African who founded the Indus Valley Civilization. Aryans tribes invaded the Indus Valley and killed and enslaved the people. #Note it was Aryans who killed the Native American people. Aryans devised a cunning, deceptive religious philosophy to enslave the indigenous people. Many of the indigenous people who fled into the forest were called "Tribals". As the Tribals were captured they became the "untouchables" in India who faced a fate worst than slavery in America that even exist until this day. The Black untouchables hid their identity as Black people in once and still hide their African heritage. Just like Black people in America have the color thing of Black Skin Vs. White skin, this idea of white color superiority is pervasive in India society and is the basis of the Hindu religion.

Black People Were Not And Is Not Hindu

The Hindu religion was an Aryan religion designed to control and enslave Black people in India. The real name for Hinduism is Brahmanism and it is a form of sanctified racism. Indian society was made of essentially four groups. 1. Brahmins (priesthood) 2. Kshatriyas (warrior class) 3. Vaishyas (merchant class) 4. Sudras 5. Untouchables who refused to compromise and surrender to Aryan domination and they are the out castes.

The Black Out Castes

The outcasts in India are the agricultural labors who are kelp segregated in every village. Each village has its own slum they people were the unapproachable, the undreamables. These are the people who had to eat carcasses of dead animals, who could only eat from broken plates, they are the ones who were the unseeables, the ones who had to tie a cup on their neck to catch their spit because their spit was polluting, these are the ones who had to tie a broom on their buts to cover their track because their tracks were polluting. These are the people whose women were made prostitutes; these are the people who are mentally wrecked and culturally deprived.

The Buddha The Great Tribal Chief

The Buddha of India was a tribal chief who led the first untouchable war against the Brahmins in India. Buddhism was a religion of Black people in India although the religion spread to Thailand, China, Japan and other countries. Aryans did not practice Buddhism and the Buddha was never an Indo Aryan. Aryans not only did not practice Buddhism that preached equality, but Aryans hated Buddhism and destroyed Buddhist universities, murdered Buddhist scholars. It was Black Buddhist missionaries that introduced Buddhism to China, Japan and other countries.

India's Current Black Revolution

Currently there is a Black revolution going on in India and Black people are attempting to fight the "Sanctified Racism". In India they have a caste system that is worst than a class system. In a caste system wherever you are born that is where you will stay. There are a few dark skinned Brahmins and the structure is polished and keeping the system running well. Even the educated Black in India are not aware of their African ancestry. Today there is movement among some Black educated youth who are now studying Malcolm X and other Black revolutionaries to advance their cause for freedom and equality.

The Black Buddhist In America Is India's Closets Connection To Black Support

If Black people in America were made aware of the struggle of Black people in India they would be outraged as they were about Apartheid in South Africa. Black people in America helped to break the Apartheid in South Africa. The caste system in India is worst than slavery in America. The White dominated press is keeping the horrible conditions of Black people in India away from Black American. One great hope that Black people in India have is the support of Black people in America and the closet interest of India is a remote group of Black people practicing Buddhism in America who would take a second look at the Buddha Shakyamuni. The Black Buddhist heritage has been hidden away from Black people in America and it is only the Proud Black Buddhist Web site that is making the connection to India. Because of the Black Buddha Shakyamuni we at Proud Black Buddhist were made aware of the Black people in India. The white controlled press in India is hiding the Black underclass away from the world as it has done for centuries and we at Proud Black Buddhist and scholars like Ivan Seritma and Runoko Rashidi` who contacted the Black underclass in India is working diligently to get the word out about the horrors of India. Recently Mr. Runoko contacted us at P.B.B.

Foremost Scholar On The African Presence In Asia Make Connection

Runoko Rashidi who is the co-author of the book "African Presence In Early Asia" met with the Blacks in India and revealed information about the struggle. Black revolutionaries in India are studying the Black struggle in America and identifying with Black people in America. The group has formed a "Black Panther Party as was formed in America and the group identify with Black heroes as Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. Please review Runoko Rashidi's Web Site. Runoko Rashidi has a planned trip to India in March of 2000. Learn of the African presence in Asia by purchasing tapes and books of Mr. Rashidi. We at proud Black Buddhist asked Mr. Rashidi to provide us with a lecture.

Everytime we speak about our black presents in the world, you have haters come and try to claim we are liars or Afrocentric. This is what they do because European people have no history to be proud of. Thru out their history they only cause death and destruction to them self and others. They are the very Devils the Ancient Egyptians spoke of and I quote:

[b]The ancient Egyptians recorded the Tamahu, which means created white people. Egyptian writings also refer to whites as Typhonians or People of Seth, both meaning “the devils.” After the People of Seth were first released into the Black community of the Near East 6000 years ago, they caused sever strife, thus the Africans rounded them up, stripped them of everything and exiled them to the caves and hills of the Caucasus Mountains. This explains the sudden appearance of white people in this region. To prevent their escaping Africans installed a series of guarded walls blocking all exits along that area from one sea to the other!



Thus “roping” them off (hence the word Europe). These walls have been witnessed and recorded by many European writers, including Pliny. Thus, totally cut off from civilization, the whites degenerated into uncivilized, Nomads. They remained this way for 2000 years until ‘God mercifully sent an Egyptian priest named Musa or Moses to civilize them.’



This explains the otherwise unknown reason why suddenly about 2000 B.C., vast hordes of these white barbarians left the Caucasus region and stormed all the (Black) centers of civilizations throughout Mesopotamia, the Near East, Africa and India, destroying and usurping them. Thus, the White man arrival signaled destruction for all these civilizations and the beginning of the White man rise to power.[/b]

tpia: @ Bastage: you're looking at the whole thing from a modern viewpoint. What's actually being examined is the pre-modern depiction of these statues. The "modern" timeline includes your time frame here, even though you may consider it ancient.

You may also be assuming the blacks being referred to are African blacks. They are not. The original dark skinned Asian population, arent African, or negro. They're a different race more related to Asians, than black negroes.

What a load of uninformed rubbish. ''No matter where you come from. As long as you're a black man, you are an African'' Get that fact into your skull.

ROSSIKE:

Care to explain? This sounds ridiculous.

Africans are not 1 ethnic group or bloodline. we consist of a large number of tribes and ethnic groups. Ofcourse many tribes come nder larger ethnic groups or are related.

E.g., Zu;u , Gikuyu ,etc. are Bantus,

then there are Congolese, Cushtic people, Chado SAhelians which included Hausas, Zaghawa, etc.

then there are Fulanis that inlude Bororo/Woodabe,etc.,

then there are BErbers, Touaregs,etc.

We are all different people.

All are unrelated, except under their respective greater ethnic groups.

Therefore dont jusge by racism and skin colour.

We have different thinking, physical features, language, etc.

Therefore to brand Australian Aborigines as AFRICAN is ridiculous. there is no AFRICAN people.

which are distinctive Negro characteristics.

Re: Ancient Black Buddha by nubadal: 3:40pm On Mar 30, 2016
ya know when truth hits it hurts and you small minded whites are hurting bad after leader after leader for centuries claimed to
be superior to all peoples and you still do

interestingly you are from europe amerikkka or another majority white nation
and they all have so called economic 'classes' white on top yellow then brown then red then black just like the varna system in ancient india

varna means color,class,caste look it up bastage it was defined by white people

i purposely spell amerikkka with the kkk cause thats the mentality here as you pitifully overlook the crimes of your ancestors
yesterday and your leaders today

where did the aborigines of australia come from? were they created by a creator after the exact same
two armed two legged two eyed two eared one heart and so forth black/afrikan people were created trillions of years ago?

what did the creator decide to create man and woman two three four five separate times on five separate land masses?
ridiculous truth is beating you all down!! since 1914 and the beginning of the first great white on white violence that took the
lives of over 50 million called world war one you all have been falling in power and will continue to fall until you pass away because your
purpose for creation was to rule for some time then be vanquished from power and from existence for your crimes and refusal to
end mistreating allllllll the world's non white people
how weak is amerikkka and europe dropping depleted uranium coated bombs on nations that have no military industrial complex but
buy all their weapons second hand
you all attack poor nations that have life spans of less than sixty years and call yourselves great and the greatest
which is true you are great at killing hundreds of millions of people but you still didnt originate any science of value
and your lies are being uncovered and the black brown red yellow owners of the earth are waking up and
accepting their own kind and discourage self destruction

white on white violence 50 million dead in world war one
white on white violence 100 million dead world war two most not even soldiers just civilianss
your hatred is hitting you back slowly but surely
your scientific claims of superiority put forth have proven false
your attempts at direct subjugation through slavery and colonialism have been rebuffed by black brown yellow red people
ask yourself why are whites so war like trying to rule people they never did nor can ever birth
why did they colonize the globe no other people has needed to enslave hundreds of millions of every other color people
to live a decent life why your people that way answer that question

white on white violence 150 million in less than fifty years
black people bring that up next time white people scream black on black violence

why all the slavery of red brown black people what for are you to weak as a people to do for self and build your own rule
why do you need to own over half the wealth of the planet but only ten percent of the planet why why??

you are a weak people is one reason come up with some other reasons why there is so much control mindset and
belief of superiority in white people who were taught many things and allowed to exist by the blood sweat tears labor and intelligence
of black brown red and yellow people allways 'saving' white people helping build nations for them to do least of the toughest work

why all killing of red people you almost killed them off then you go amongst them and intermarry after killing off ninety percent
of their men women and children

you cant reproduce/birth red brown yellow or black people only white so why not stay in your realm and do for self

there are pyramids of great magnitude and number in red brown yellow and black nations but NONE in white
why not try to build some
oh yeah guess youll mention vegas ....took ya long enough

man and woman were created once and they left afrika the rest were genetically grafted from the brown germ the weak germ in
black people the original oldest people
whites were not first created they were created last and have done the least good and the most harm
as they continue to destroy the amazon and other ecological wonders
you get the point
stop the white on white violence too its annoying


Bastage:
As much as one would like to claim that the Buddha was an African, it simply isn't true and one can't base an opinion on the website because it's very poorly written, riddled with errors and even tainted by racism.

Buddha was born in Lumbini and raised in the small kingdom or principality of Kapilvastu, both of which are in modern day Nepal.
His father was King Suddhodana, the chief of the Shakya nation (the website has conveniently left the letter "H" out of Shakya), one of several ancient tribes in the growing state of Kosala; Gautama was the family name. His mother, Queen Maha Maya (Māyādevī) and Suddhodana's wife, was a Koliyan princess. One thing that cannot be forgotten is that the ancient Indians were documentors. They kept very good records. There is no record of an African people either ruling over or inhabiting the area where Buddah was born and raised.

The Buddah would not have been white or black, but a mixture of Chinese and Indian.

The website given says some silly things:



Nobody has ever claimed it began in Japan or China. It has always been claimed as starting in India.



No. But there are physical descriptions that point to him not being black.



Buddha is not and never has been considered a god by Buddhists.



Gautama, Sakayanumi, and Siddhartha are all the same Buddah.

The website then goes onto to make questionable claims about Africans in Southern India which is totally irrelevant as Buddhism began in Northern India. It also makes what seems to be some racist claims about the whites and Aryanism that have no foundation in fact or anthropology. The theory regarding Aryan invaders being white is in fact propaganda that the British spread when they colonised India. It has no basis in fact and the author of the website is just perpetrating British lies. Quite ironic.

The claim about cornrows is very misleading. The photographs do not show cornrows. They show a Buddhist cap:



The comparison with the Massai man is also misleading. In ancient India, men and women commonly wore ear plugs. Children’s ear lobes were pierced and a small clay cylinder was put in the holes. As the child grew, increasingly large cylinders were put in the lobes until they had stretched enough to accommodate plugs with diameters of up to 6 centimetres. Hundreds of these objects have been found by archaeologists and are displayed in some museums in India. The Buddah would have worn such ear plugs when he was a lay man and would have taken them off when he renounced the world, leaving his ear lobes elongated. Elongated ear-lobes are not the exclusive feature of the Massai.

Whoever made the website has absolutely no concept of the Buddah. One of the most important aspects of Buddhism and it's sacred writings is that the physical form of the Buddah is irrelevant. A follower should never, ever concentrate on the Buddah's physical form. The only way to know him is through the spiritual.
The website also continually states that Buddhism is a religion that started in Africa. This is wrong on two counts. First, Buddhism is not a religion. It is a way of life. No practitioner of Buddhism nor any serious scholar would ever refer to Buddhism as a "religion". Secondly, there is absolutely no evidence that any African religion contained the main concepts of Buddhism. For example, there is no comparison with Nirvhana in any native African religion. Buddhist scripture points to the Buddha being raised as a Hindu, just as all his compatriots were, before he became Enlightened. This is backed up by the fact that there are many aspects of Hinduism contained within Buddhism.
