There
were Buddhist cultures that flourished for centuries and not only disappeared but
left almost nothing behind and are scarcely known today, if at all. One of them was in Gilgit, and if you don’t know where Gilgit is look it up on Wikipedia. This illustrated
lecture conducted at the Metropolitan Museum in NY is one of the most fascinating
I have heard for a long time. Absolutely fascinating! You can watch it here.

Thanks for sharing this lecture! It's interesting to see the bronzes that point to a peaceful culture in an area that is now defined by terror.
