in ninety five percent of cases it is closed but the delegation is arriving. so i think they will open it for them. feel we have a get a glimpse of the miracle adult son is difficult to reach it takes four days to get here from moscow by trailer and even then not everyone is allowed to get close to it. this is a republic. the hounds of russian buddhism. people come here to service up to a thousand. years here yes very long here's the serious stuff inside the temple and one can even see sweat on his forehead anatoly and zone are in their fourth year at the buddhist university of ibadan skilled at sun they offer through their course.

after eight years of intense study both will receive a degree in philosophy and the title lama says the phrase russian buddhism may sound strange but it has been one of the traditional religions of the country since the eighteenth century. kid that sense of being considered a funds of wisdom in days gone by. studied buddhist philosophy medicine and astrology. the university where anton and anatoly study in accordance with the same traditions of centuries past. goal through studying is to achieve enlightenment thereby a scaping the will of existence and to reach nirvana. even though the republican is part of russia it is. different from

those typical of the western parts of russia when it comes to religion the difference is striking. are almost aliens here whether or no more than ten people like them. twenty four year old came here from the caucasus. can be found there christianity. was not a religious person initially he studied music for years playing the drums and once he graduated from a faculty of an atoll he came here just to look at the miracle of. i wondered what the meaning of. this question had come so i traced the chain which.

the family. used. to me i thought that. i wanted something. they have. this is a lesson in the language it's the most difficult of the studied languages it's all but extinct. to read ancient but is texts. on the floor because they're not supposed to be at the same height as the teacher. subordination is as important here as in the army during class not

a single word is out it. there are four departments of the buddhist university philosophy medicine religion and not its graduates post the reputation for brilliance doctors astrologers and psychics as a result many ordinary secular visitors come to the dots. to lomas have huge waiting lists of people hoping for a miracle. here at. one of the wonders of the buddhist world can be found in one nine hundred twenty seven. to get off passed away or so it was thought before his death he prophesied that he would return. in two thousand and two his grave was opened to reveal something quite extraordinary his body had not declared . it to get off was placed in a separate temple at your organs get at san. lucas residents are not allowed to look at him except eight special worship days each year tourists even.

those who come on official business as well as all superior is. a replica of body can be found near the temple which everyone can worship. as for the body three monks keep watch over him. as its chief guardian he holds the keys to the temple on his belt. a little boy lived here in the mid nineteenth century he was five years old and an orphan as a rule the body has to not have orphans if something happens to a child's parents have the doctor immediately the boy was a shepherd but he told everyone that he would become aloma no one took him seriously until the moment he arrived on a bull holding a stuff with a skull after that the people stopped mocking him a few years later he became a student at the sun. that little boy

became known as it to get off lama. during the russian japanese war it to get off the strength of the morale of the soldiers and gathered funds for the hospitals during world war one deal with us to charity foundation to help the front end to get off received state awards for his efforts. eventually people started spreading legends about him which used to be said that he could gallop a horse across water. the spring close to it to go off home is also believed to have miraculous properties today people flock here with canisters to take water away with them according to buddhist tradition only men not permitted to do it. don't feel. this is the house where it's a gale of meditating. it has now been renovated before that it was just an ordinary small house in the style. in this house is

a good long lived as a permit for the last ten years of his life he meditated here one day he gathered the lamas close to him and asked them to say a farewell prayer was refused how could they say that to somebody who was still alive then began saying it himself. and literally came to a dead stop in the press and. in that condition he was placed in a wooden box and buried but before leaving this world it's a get off concept that he would return. some way to go soft was destroyed by so if you tell stories the palace of culture was built their stead but one day it was destroyed by fire the place had rejected the new culture seventy five years after it again. and follow the path of the two

lomas. back then the two men will. looking for there to get a final resting place they did not have an exact location instead they relied on intuition and against all odds they found it. when we open the box we could smell the divine fragrances a strong smell of juniper it was so wonderful so good his head was clearly outlined the skin on his head was normal and one was. this unique footage was momentous for the entire buddhist world everybody present expected to see a human skeleton it's the only video of it to get off body now filming him is forbidden. i did the right thing refusing to be there when i was examined you see when those people saw his body they were shocked.

dr alexei as jeff has been watching over it's a ghost body for ten years and there is no vacuum there so the body is supposed to decay but the immune system somehow maintains the balance and shake the body less frequently now there are no changes whatsoever so there's no need to fuss over it just serves to rule the tests were carried out we realize that the science was a dead end the scientists took samples of hair and nails everything suggested that it was a living person. to understand this phenomenon autopsy is required but we called for the body is sacred. in january two thousand and five the head of russia's but it's banned any medical examination of the body. one explanation is that he is in a very deep meditation that he'll be consciously amassed himself into

a state where all the processes in the body. run at a tremendously slow pace. so for him when seconds ago where for years long years. for us seventy five years have passed and for him it may seem like seventy five minutes. or even less. several years ago i not only saw the miracle with his own eyes he became interested in buddhism and stayed here anatoly work to the boiler house for six months job was hard but his desire to study buddhism was stronger. imagine having the gift of clairvoyance. that means you can remember all your past lives. supernatural powers so it was six months later and italy entered the university together with sixty other students but after four years only twenty of them were left student life here was

not unlike an extreme survival course especially for those who used to live in the city they have to build their own homes there's no central heating only a wood burning furnace plumbing is nonexistent the interior is closer to that of a field barracks yes those immersed in their studies do not notice such trivial things here it's known as overcoming the desires of regular life. i have not overcome anything yet. for example it's very unhealthy to eat before going to bed but i still want to eat something in the evening. i also wrestle with a craving to sleep it is my favorite attachment. for example were given to better sex that we should learn by heart during the day. you every time we have to learn

several pages. and it's very difficult to overcome but the hardest thing of all is to suppress theory so. before starting his new life and he studied music. he used to play drums for a bit before he came to the. sometimes. his instrument he shows pictures of his posted on the internet. this is a friend of mine. at the music school together. in italy fails to find any references to. his previous life is. yet there was still drums in his life. quite a different. family

. i could get cheap labor. most

illegal a slum legally we have to get up every morning we have to go to work and you know we have to pay our bills only have to do it and that's just the american dream and if you want the american dream you have to go by the law so i figure this here's one of the major trails into the united states. and they run run down my property and somehow this noise. from coming over the wire is protecting the country i'm the kind of guy who doesn't mindedness pants dirty so i come out here you know we're all immigrants as well that we all share some sorrow. over.

the speed. with. the missile. tests and. a little bit. of buddhist monks education takes place just at the university but in everyday life too several students. and. required that one lives together with them.

knows how his friends live in the city of their cars apartments and new t.v. sets as if they were nothing but pieces of metal yet out of courtesy he joins the conversations about horse power or the resolution of screens and pixels. what is the goal in life. well you have to study find a job settle down. and then no one tells you what to do next. for a broad minded person like me such tasks seem to be too small. it could be that man was created just for that could ban have come into this world just for the sake of material possessions she must know my goal why not because i think differently.

if. students really have to leave adults and to go to the city it's only when teachers instruct them to do so today they have to take translations of tibetan texts to the printing office and to buy a few things needed for the. students usually change their clothes when visiting the city. students. are two completely different things. by local standards. anyway we've arrived.

so do you know where to go. given five minutes it took the students longer to get to the printing office to minimize urban temptations that may lead them astray the teachers came up with a trick they shifted their students weekends to choose day so that they'd have fewer opportunities to meet with their friends from their previous lives. the chief problem for the students is temptation. just once would tarnish their conscience. is the same as for the girls they refer to as mara an evil spirit who tempts on one occasion to the death because he could not stand breaking up with his girlfriend. that took him away students themselves try to spend as little

time in the city as possible when they reach their fourth year at the. strange from civilization another trip to the city becomes a burden for them. trolling to the city to. find yourself a closed campus with no cars rushing back and forth and the people. you feel as you have come out of the woods. in this is it life is stressful. at the dull silence very peaceful very environment calm. but here things are quite the opposite the environment causing.

debate is the most important part of learning it consists of philosophical arguments in the tibetan language students don't just wave their hands they throw questions at each other this form of conversation has not changed in millennia anton explains the debate is logic training only concrete questions are asked those answers lead to the next question the greater part of their free time between morning and evening classes is spent preparing for debate at the moment and on is busy with another topic for discussion. one question would be debated is chemical consciousness of a person with nihilistic use recognize a logical argument. which.

anton is twenty four b. used to live not far from moscow in the city of tula and john studied physics at university but in his second year he quit to come here anton has an elder brother and a sister in russian folktales the youngest son is always a fool. i am the youngest child in my family. what is the attitude to the youngest one. everybody considers you to be silly. they think you're just a little boy. i'm always told ok that's enough it's time for you to come back home. but life is good here. they ask me what i'm going to do after life in the debts. they say they are worried about my social status. and i say that i do not care much about it though sometimes i do think about what

i'm going to do next. logic and delta two fundamental principles of buddhism and tone says that it's just like in physics the only difference is that while physics studies matter buddhism examines the spirit. believes that a physicist can easily become a buddhist. is to become a philosopher. the congregation is more used to the term of wise old man to whom they can come for advice through a low fixed prices for services visitors give as much as they see fit. there's even been cases where the number was presented with a cult for good advice. i am not going to become a teacher or live the life of local lamas. that's not going to happen that's for sure. but. i cannot

imagine such a way of life. i can't imagine becoming the head of a temple. thirty two bit should i be the one calling people to come here to pray should that be the case. i don't think so. it's. the everlasting body only a miracle connected with it to kill off. the end to this mysterious state at a time when buddhism was virtually destroyed in russia is miraculous return of the revival but just culture that's appeared in a body at your again no young people like anton and anatoly have

a chance to choose a new film life. but i could've made up a fascinating story about a life full of suffering and unrequited love. and all that eventually brought me here to try and reach the spiritual state of buddha. i could have told you that i would be helping everyone i would be reading mantras for the sake of all living creatures. but things are not that simple. honestly i do not know myself what is going to happen to me. and know what the future holds in store for him but he is certain that he will continue his education he may leave the datsun and go to india to study buddhism

there. he did just the thing it is that an ordinary person believes that he is living his only life right now so when mistakes seem really scary but what if this is not the case. is a geometric model of the universe a sacred image music consoles accompany the construction ritual the monks bend. the culture canvas only to destroy it later as any model of the universe is it but his terms.

made his first foreign tour after his recent inauguration meeting europe's top heavyweights germany and france. rebels and government forces in syria trade accusations. in which at least one hundred people died the u.n. investigation to find out who's really responsible. is a sentence handed down for his part in the killing of hundreds of protesters last year but. he's not being executed. i'm running out. for his legal team to follow and he'll offer.

extradition to sweden. and welcome to the program the e.u. summit kicks off later today but. has already met some of europe's main players this week on a trip taking in germany and france he talked tough on nato expansion u.s. missile defense shield. ongoing violence in syria. has the details now. wasn't putting his first stop was in minsk which many saw as an indication that that russia's foreign policy now will focus more on the closest neighbors and the c.i.s. countries many observers also saw this big.
