How the World’s oldest university was lost for 800 years BBC Reel

Founded more than 1,500 years ago, India’s ancient Nalanda University is thought to have been the world’s first residential university.

Established more than 500 years before Oxford University, at its peak Nalanda hosted over 10,000 students from around the globe. It is considered by historians to be one of the great centres of learning of the ancient world.

The university was destroyed towards the end of the 12th Century AD. Its legendary library burned to the ground and much of its ancient knowledge was lost.

Now, 800 years later, the university is being revived for the modern age.

What Happened to Nalanda, the Greatest Buddhist University Ever Built?

TIP Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/buddhistlegacy

For more than 700 years, Nalanda stood as one of the world’s greatest centers of learning, attracting monks, scholars, and students from across Asia.

Its vast libraries preserved generations of knowledge, while its classrooms helped shape Buddhist philosophy, logic, medicine, language, and intellectual culture throughout the continent.

But how did such a remarkable institution disappear?

In this documentary, we explore:

• The origins of Nalanda in the Buddhist heartland of ancient India
• Its rise into one of history’s most influential universities
• How its teachings spread across Asia
• The political and religious changes that weakened its foundations
• The destruction of Nalanda in the late 12th century
• The legacy that survived long after the university itself had vanished

Rather than relying on legends, this documentary follows historical evidence, archaeological research, Buddhist sources, and the records of ancient travelers to understand what really happened to Nalanda.

Bhutan – The Country that Does;nt Give a S *** About the World

The Last Authentic Travel Experience on Earth ( Bhutan : Meditaing with Monks & Inigenous Villages )

Sitting on the western side of the Himalayas, Bhutan is a Buddhist Kingdom that famously prioritises the happiness of its citizens over national wealth. It is also famous for prioritising its citizens’ happiness over national wealth (GDP). We were lucky enough to be invited to explore this unique country steeped in history and culture, where a traditional way of life reigns supreme and we were given access to film places cameras have never been before. Join us as we explore a remote indigenous mountain village, meditate with monks, and are welcomed into the homes of locals.

We really hope you enjoy watching – if you do, please give it a thumbs up & subscribe, it means YouTube is more likely to suggest our films to others and help our channel grow.
