Swat: Militants are holding sway in the restive Swat valley of Pakistan and are destroying the heritage of Gandhara Civilisation there.
In the absence of proper security arrangements, a historic rock-carved image of buddha has already been destroyed partially.
Situated on the banks of River Swat, anciently known as Svastu, the scenic Valley of Swat was the centre of Buddhist civilisation.
In ancient scripts Swat is known as Udhyana meaning garden or park. Historians say Ashoka introduced Buddhism to Swat spreading it to Peshawar, Taxila, and beyond into Afghanistan.
However, by seventh and eighth centuries AD, Buddhist Civilisation was losing its influence in this area.
Rock carvings and historical sites preserve this part of history in the mountains and plains of Swat. Images and statues of buddha carved in different forms are permanent record of the material remains of mankind.
We reconstruct the history of Buddhism with their help. Now these carvings which you see hundreds of them in Swat, says Director Archeology Departmen, NWFP, Professor Fidaullah Sehrai.
Growing militancy during the last one year has emerged as a major threat to these rare sites in the restive valley.
Some sites have already been damaged. Jehanabad buddha is one such complete and inspiring symbol of Gandhara Art.
Preserved by nature due to difficult location, this seven meter tall meditating buddha carved some 20 feet high from the land, survived many attacks since 1994. However, the last one proved destructive.
Body of the Jehanabad buddha still carries holes filled with explosives which show that the militants can come back any time for the final round to completely destroy the unique image.
We have complained to the DOc and the ministry, and they will take some action, says official of Swat Museum, Nasir Khan.
Unlike the past, the sites offer bleak look as no foreign tourists are visiting these sites for fear of growing militancy. This has badly damaged economy of the area that largely depended on tourism industry.
Due to growing insecurity and lack of well-preserved strategy, some of these sites are fast losing its attraction for the tourists coming from different countries of the world.
Be happy
Siddhartha Chabukswar :)

buddha Showing a Thousand Hands - The First Exercise of Falun Dafa.
Falun Dafa is an ancient practice for improving one's mind, body and spirit. All exercise instruction videos, lectures and books of Falun Dafa can be downloaded free of cost from http://www.falundafa.org
The teachings of Falun Dafa have done nothing short of redefining Qi Gong and cultivation practice. It has transformed millions of lives around the world, giving people back their superior health, improving wisdom and allowing them to practise genuine cultivation according to higher principles.
Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong, or just Dafa) is an extremely high-level cultivation practice guided by the characteristics of the universe—Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance.
"Cultivation" means continuously striving to better harmonize oneself with these universal principles. "Practice" refers to the exercises -- five sets of easy-to-learn gentle movements and meditation. Cultivating oneself is essential; practicing the exercises supplements the process.
Over time, the principles of Dafa unveil the deepest and most profound truths of the universe. Following the principles, practitioners of Falun Dafa are able to reach very high realms, enlightening to the true meanings of life, and finding the path of return to their origins and true selves.
While the exercises have deep inner meanings, they also help to reduce stress and can bring profound improvements in health and fitness.
Principles of the Exercise:
The core of buddha Showing a Thousand Hands is stretching to open up all energy channels. Through doing this exercise, beginners can acquire energy in a short period of time, and experienced practitioners will improve quickly. The exercise requires all energy channels to be opened up at the outset, enabling practitioners to immediately practice at a high level. The movements of this exercise are quite simple because a Great Way is, as a rule, simple and easy to learn. Though the movements are simple, they dictate everything involved in the cultivation system. When doing this exercise, one's body will feel warm and will experience a unique sensation of there being a very strong energy field. This is caused by stretching and opening all the energy channels throughout the body. The purpose is to break through areas where the energy is blocked, to enable energy to circulate freely and smoothly, to mobilize the energy within the body and under the skin, circulating it vigorously, and to absorb a great amount of energy from the universe. It simultaneously enables the practitioner to quickly achieve the state of having a qi gong energy field. This exercise is done as the foundational exercise of Falun Gong, and it is usually done first. It is one of the methods for reinforcing your cultivation.

The mantra, or even the name of the Medicine buddha (Skt: Bhaisajyaguru, Tib: Sangye Menla, Chin: Yaoshi-fo, Jap:Yakushi) is beneficial.
Ven. Thrangu Rinpoche has said that a mantra is essentially an elaboration on the deity's name, and that any mantra is the shortest possible form of the sadhana. The Sanskrit mantra of Medicine buddha is:
Tayata, Om, Bhaishaye Bhaishaye Maha-Bhaishaye Raja Samudgate, Svaha.
or, pronounced the Tibetan way:
Tayata, Om, bekandzeh, bekandzeh maha-bekandzeh, radza samungateh. Soha.
'May all beings benefit from the sublime love and power of Sangye Menla' is often given as the meaning but it is not a literal translation.
Since the practice of Medicine buddha is considered a Sutrayana practice (i.e., based mainly on scripture) no empowerment is necessary, but it is good to attend one or to ask for one when you have an opportunity.
Khenpo Karthar has said that the practice of Sangye Menla also has been found beneficial in cases of mental illness. And it is said that even hearing the name Sangye Menla only once has benefits for subsequent rebirth, for the Medicine buddha made 12 vows describing the various ways he can help sentient beings with their sufferings.

buddha boy-Ram Bahadur Bomjan reappears
Ram Bahadur Bomjan, a teenage Nepali boy, who is believed to be the reincarnation of the Lord buddha, has re-emerged in a remote southern jungle after disappearing more than one year. Thousands of his followers were assembled to see and listen his preach this week. After the long disappearance, he was seen in one remote place of Bara district this week. Local people say that he is meditating for the long time without food, water and sleep. Many of the boy's followers believe he is the reincarnation of Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher who founded the Buddhist religion 2,500 years ago. Buddhists strongly believe in reincarnation, the doctrine that every soul reappears after death in another bodily form. It hasn't verified he is either reincarnation of buddha or not. But he has given a challenge to science as he is meditating for the long time without food, water and sleep.
