1-Sanskrit whose language is it?
Sanskrit, as Aryan entered the Indian mainland in the 14th century BC, gradually spread and developed, and influenced the cultures of South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and even East Asia.
18th century, after European linguistics discovered that Sanskrit had similarities with Greek , Latin , Crete, Germanic, and Slavic , they believed that they might all be descendants of the Aryans.
Aryans were originally an ancient nomadic people on the grasslands in the southern Ural Mountains of Russia. Later, they migrated to the plains between the Amur River and the Sir River in Central Asia. Around the 20th century BC, one branch went south to settle in the upper basin of the Indus River, creating the Veda civilization and Brahminism; one branch entered the Iranian plateau southwest, creating the Persian Empire and Zoroastrian (called the Zoroastrian sect in China); the other branch moved to Asia Minor, possibly to Europe and other places.
Brahmanism has a profound influence on Buddhism and Hinduism. Zoroastrianism is the country of Persian . Before the rise of Christianity and Islam , it was the main religion in West Asia and Central Asia, and had a profound influence on the later Judaism , Christianity and Islam. Before Christianity became the state religion of Rome, the popular Manichaeism in Rome was a branch of the religion. Before the Catholic thinker Augustine converted to Christ, he was a believer of Manichaeism. It is said that the first batch of disciples recruited by Buddha Shakyamuni after enlightenment were Zoroastrian believers.
2—How to ensure that Sanskrit remains unchanged across time and space?
No language can guarantee that it will not change across time and space, just like English has British English, American English, and curry-flavored English when entering India, but the inheritance and change of language is a process. If you inherit something, it is impossible to deny it completely. Always learn first and then change, and only a small part of it is changed.
3—What is the relationship between Sanskrit and html April ?
We won’t mention Sanskrit. It was introduced to India in the 14th century BC. Let’s talk about the Yuezhi.
Yuezhi is a nomadic people in northern China. It was also called "Yuezhi" and "Yuzhi" in ancient times. From the 5th century BC to the 2nd century BC, it once lived in the area of the Hexi Corridor of Gansu, , Qilian Mountains, .
In the second century BC, the Xiongnu rose. The Yuezhi was defeated by the Xiongnu and was forced to move westward to the Yili River area. Later, he was defeated by the Wusun Kingdom. He then attacked Daxia in the west, occupied the Amu River and Sir River in Central Asia, and established the Great Yuezhi Kingdom. Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions , just to join forces with Great Yuezhi to deal with the Huns. In the 1st century AD, the descendants of the Yuezhi went south to the Ganges Basin to establish the Kushan Dynasty. There is also a saying that Kushan Empire was founded by the descendants of the Great Xia Xihou (a titled by the Yuezhi). There is a different saying.
The Kushan Empire, during its heyday (105-250 years), stretched from today's Tajikistan to Caspian , Afghanistan and Ganges basins. It was during this period that Sun Wu Indian monk Zhu Luyan and Yuezhi State's Qing Dynasty believer Zhi Qian once again translated the "Shetou Jian Prince's Twenty-Eight Constellations Sutra", called the "Modanga Sutra", with two volumes in total.
This is the relationship between Yuezhi and Sanskrit. I wonder if it can answer fans' questions.
4—How to prove the credibility of Buddha chronology?
cannot prove the credibility of the Buddha's chronology
The birth and death year of Sakyamuni is unknown. There are several statements about Theravada Buddhism and Northern Buddhism . It is generally believed that it was born between the 6th and 5th centuries BC. Buddha calendar is the first year of 544 BC, with the year after Sakyamuni Nirvana as the first year.
5—Apart from 600 years, it has nearly 3,000KM, and the mountains are high and the water is far and wide and the obstacles are extremely dangerous. How do you think that the Yuezhi Buddhist scriptures and the original Buddhist scriptures are truly inherited?
The Buddha taught the "Avatamsaka Sutra", the Four Noble Truths, Agama (Hispanic Sutra), etc., Prajna , the Lotus Sutra, the Great Nirvana Sutra and the " Buddha's Last Teaching Sutra " in the method of enlightenment. These Buddhist scriptures are recorded by Buddhists. There are many versions. During the translation and dissemination process, everyone will add their own understanding and understanding, and finally form more and more classics.
Therefore, there is no original Buddhist scripture at all, so there is no so-called similarity and difference.
6—Why is it more convenient to worship Buddha from the southeast? The main Mahayana Buddhist scriptures must come from Western Regions ?
Mauryan Dynasty (324-187 BC), equivalent to the Qin and Han dynasties in China, Ashoka adopted Buddhism as the state religion, built pagodas widely, engraved edicts and teachings on cliffs and stone pillars. Since then, Buddhism has spread to many areas of South Asian subcontinent. At the same time, missionaries were sent to the surrounding countries to preach, from Myanmar to the east to Sri Lanka to the south to Syria , Egypt and other places in the west, making Buddhism gradually become a world religion.
The spread of Buddhism to Asia has two routes: Theravada Buddhism—first introduced to Sri Lanka, from Sri Lanka to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia , Laos and other countries; Northern Buddhism—this was introduced to China through Pamir Plateau , and then from China to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other countries. There is another route in China, which is the Tibetan Buddhist route. The Buddhist scriptures taught by the three routes of

Chinese Buddhism: also known as Northern Buddhism, mainly distributed in mainland China, as well as in Japan and South Korea. Only study the Mahayana sutras.
Buddhism was introduced to China around the first year of AD. It was at that time. It was considered to be a stream of gods and magic. At the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan (464-549 AD), designated Buddhism as the state religion. Han Buddhism began to spread throughout the country, and many schools of thought appeared.
Since the 11th century AD, the power of Islam gradually entered all parts of East India. By the beginning of the 13th century, many important temples such as Chaojie Temple were destroyed, monks were scattered, and Buddhism disappeared in the South Asian subcontinent. Currently, there are about 5 million Buddhist believers in India, and less than 1 million , Nepal , and the Tripitaka included in China contains more Buddhist scriptures, and the foundation of Buddhism is still in China.
