Thank you so much 🙏😊

Wonderful conversation except ... Chogkyi's spineless comment that a candidate who promotes hatred, racism, sexism and more is somehow simply as unexciting as the unexciting alternative. Wow.

Stop begging for money and earn your own. Too many useless, lazy, "spiritual" bs people not being able to feed themselves and wipe their own a..

Thankyou 🎉

Thankyou 🎉🙏🌈💎

Very deep. I love this. Namaste🙏❤️

Hmmm not sure, maybe you can show me an enlightened Muslim?

buddhism is silly.

❤🙏♥️

interesting, but far too many jump-cuts...why is it? it feels like the conversation as recorded has been too filtered..

Thank you so much for this interview 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Free will can be hard or easy.

Jesus is really the Way. Buddha's way to the opposite. Buddha is in hell

You come back from ego-death and an encounter with Universal Mind, and all this academic approach seems concerned about is - are you a little bit better in your behavior, are you helping people? You can do these things without psychedelics. Growing out of childhood self-centeredness is a common feature of turning into an adult. A topic of greater interest is what is it that you encounter when your ego dies? Surely that has huge metaphysical implications and should be the proper subject-matter of science and philosophy. If on the other hand, this is just therapy by another name, I would have expected to see the terminology of psychology/psychiatry, but it is missing from this interview.

I'm Thai, Buddhism is a faith and Dharma is something to believe in.

Seems to help me have compassion for others. I'm selfish by nature. I'm used to doing the opposite, breathing in peace and breathing out tension. Where to learn mote about this meditative practice? Is it safe to learn using UA-cam?

Reading your Buddhism Without Beliefs now, and it is truly blowing my mind.🩷🪷

🩵this is lovely, please do more guided meditations & add some natural sounds like calm rivers or waves, or calming bird sounds in in the background sound.

right on that!

A Jewish secular Buddhist. Love it. Lol

I love the “Secular Buddhists”. Ridiculous

Evolved in bats my ass.

Brilliant

All due respect to Bachelor, I know what it's like to struggle with Dharma practice and find stuff that is challenging. But I think he is taking so many liberties here and doesn't acknowledge the possibility that his resistance to "traditional" methods is just a result of his cultural bias, which is evident in what he *does* prefer: art, autonomy, meaning, utopia... he's just trying to practice Buddhism as he wants it to be, rather than take it on its own terms. It's really kind of a Romanticism he wants, not what the core teachings describe. It's like if somebody gave you a hammer and nails to build a house because they said gravity brings everything down, and you need to nail stuff in place so it stays upright. Then Stephen comes along and says, "actually, I don't mind gravity bringing stuff down. Who says I have to use this hammer for nailing stuff down and building houses? I'd rather use it to sift through the rubble and make music. I don't like wearing hardhats and getting splinters." Sure, go ahead, but don't call it construction...

Great 'simplicity'...Thank you.

❤

Wow this got me emotional,cause it's so true,so how do we make ourselves feel worthy??..Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.. I could listen to this woman all day,I'm going on a little journey.. Please take care,wishing you peacefulness & happiness✌🏼☮🦋🌠✌🏼☮🦋🌠

Thank you, Stephen.

Criminally underviewed!

Superb

Just like how there are Brahminnic paths and tantric paths in Sanantani, you can be vajrayana, mahayana or sarvakayana in Buddhism. Preferring one over another does not invalidate the methods of the other schools. The moment you think Buddhism 'should' be this and 'should' discard that, you are ultimately trying to restrict a path that is extremely vast. Buddha dharma has the idea of dhatus - the elements that make up your inclinations and karma that draws you towards one way or another and different individuals have different inclinations and are suited for different methods.

Thank you so much😊. I’m a new listener; Damien Echols recommends you. This meditation has been helpful. Your meditation on feeling positive experiences is one l return to often. Thank you,again😊😊😊

*PromoSM* 😁

About the book, your description of Sunyata is the clearest, most lucid I have read so far. Thanks for laying it out so cogently.

Very interesting conversation indeed ! I love the honesty and humility of Stephen, as well as his particular and unique journey toward wisdom (for a better word ...). Still, the matter of faith cannot be ignored, does it ? Even our so-called rational apprehension of "reality" is, on the bottom line, a matter of belief. There is a gambling part in any engagement with a discipline toward wisdom and full consciousness that cannot be avoided. So, what is the meaning of the precious human existence, so fleeting and fragile ?

an interesting wide open discussion, thank you

The problem with depression is showing it and hiding it…

Thank you Scott and Stephen for this lovely conversation! I've read a few of Stephen's books and they where foundational in my life and the way I practice the dharma. I have been following Bernardo Kastrup's analytical idealist views on metaphysics and would really love to know how Stephen would consider Bernardo's profound thinking and intuitions! Thanks again! 🌿

Fine discussion.

So talented ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 The mind want to do that the spirit invites to feel 😌

Hi there! Thank you for this beautiful discussion with Rob. I can’t find the meditation anywhere on your videos list - would you kindly direct me to it? Many thanks!

Incredible that eastern philosophy/spirituality is coming together with science

Thanks!😊

I liked this but the swallowing noises annoyed me so I had to switch off...one too many external sensations to cope with at the moment when I'm trying to meditate

Thank you for sharing this insightful talk. I would also like to add : www.mkgandhi.org/articles/Gandhian-model-of-nonviolent-communication.html

Beautiful 🕊

Beautiful ❤thank you so much. I pulled a compassion card today and it let me to Tonglen. Sending all my love and gratitude to you and anyone who reads this (and to those who don’t). Much love ❤

That was refreshing ❤

Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.

Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu🙏
