| | The Buddhist Channel Archaeology Tracing the Buddhist Path |
| | Tradition purports that Buddhist texts form a single line of development from the Buddha: as the religion spread, the Buddha's teachings were heard by disciples, then retold word for word, generation by generation. | | | Unlike religions such as Islam or Judaism, in which language is critical to the scripture, the Buddha said that monks should speak to the people in their own language. | | | Nineteen-hundred-year-old manuscripts from the Gandhara region offer a rare glimpse of the religion as it expanded from its native India around the first century C.E. Written in the language called Gandhari, the texts are adding a new dimension to the Buddhist canons of ancient Sanskrit and the living traditions of Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan. |

| | Enigmas in the Mahabharata by Pradip Bhattacharya |
| | Within Gandhari is a tremendous hunger to become the: mother of a king, because she cannot be the wife of one (Dhritarashtra being only the figurehead, with Bhishma wielding all the power). | | | When Vyasa asks Gandhari what she is about to do with the fetus, she answers that, having heard that Kunti had given birth to a son bright as the sun, she, in sorrow, had brought about this abortion. | | | She refuses to bless her son with the boon of victory, because he is not on the side of dharma. |

| | The Gandhari canon may prove to be a crucial link in understanding the way Buddhism moved northward along the Silk Road, into Central and East Asia, even as it largely died out in India, where it was born in the fifth or fourth century BC. | | | Also found was a version of the verse compilation known in Pali as the Khaggavisana-sutta of the Sutta-nipata, the Buddha's sermons on the horn of the rhinoceros (sutta-nipata). | | | They are confident that that canon may soon take its place next to the four other great traditions of Buddhist texts: the living traditions of Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan, and the ancient, fragmentary one of Sanskrit. |

But none of those earliest texts has survived and it is unclear what language they were in. | | | The experts believe the scrolls may be the oldest Buddhist manuscripts ever found -- dating from the end of the first century A.D. or the beginning of the second. |

| | Mahabharata Film Notes |
| | Gandhari refuses to tear off her veil--”To each his darkness.” Kunti challenges Gandhari to have the “courage to see things as they are”: that she is blindedby the fact that Kunti’s son Yudhishthira was born before Gandhari’s. | | | And a strange and unnatural birth is thus forced: Gandhari, veiled, does not “see” the mysterious black “ball of flesh” she births, “cold and hard like metal” and presumably of demonic character. | | | Note that these events are happening at the same time as those described in #6 above, when Pandu, Kunti, and Pandu’s second wife are in exile into the mountains, and Kunti starts using her mantra to summon gods to sire Pandu’s sons. |
