印历史学家制作佛教纪录片 加强印与东南亚国家联系

据海外媒体报道，近日，印度历史学家Benoy K Bahl制作了一部以将印度和东南亚国家联系起来的古代佛教为主题的，记录亚洲国家共享佛教遗产的纪录片并举办了一场展览。在该纪录片中，你既可以看到印度尼西亚全世界最高的9世纪佛塔，也可以看到印度Java的Borobudur塔。

据悉，该纪录片记录了泰国、印度尼西亚、老挝、越南和柬埔寨的佛教传统。

Bahl表示纪录片和展览的主要目的是制造更多印度和这些国家的联系，在古时，印度和这些国家因佛教而有着密切联系，但现在这些联系已经不复存在了。取代了彼此联系，现在的我们都把目光放到了西方国家上。（编译：子规）

New Delhi, July 16 (PTI) Ancient Buddhist bonds which linked India to South East Asian countries form the subject of a new film and exhibition which seek to strengthen ties with ASEAN nations.

"The entire purpose of the film and exhibition is to create more bonds that linked India with these countries in the past but aren't there now. We have all been turning to the West instead of linking between each other," says historian Benoy K Bahl.

A ninth century stupa in Indonesia, the tallest in the world finds a place in Behl's new film that documents the shared Buddhist heritage of the ASEAN countries.

The Borobudur stupa in Java, is one of the monuments that Bahl has included in his documentary which trails the Buddhist traditions across Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
