Excellet video! Gassho.

Bravo. Thank you man, gretts from Brazil ,Namo Amida Bu ❤

I think the filter is not karma(action), but maya(illusion) just pointing out...but great video none the less❤

im a lay buddhist. im very confused about buddhism. i see buddhism as philosophy and a guide to live my life, thus when the buddha teaches to investigate everythng and question everything, even his own teachings. i respond to that. i dont believe in faith, as i cant question nor investigate nor prove or disprove its claims, parts of buddhas teachings require faith, which i can either chose to believe in the dogma or not. maybe someone can help explain the contradictions in buddhas teachings?

Is part 2 still coming? This was the best video I have found of Pure Land Buddhism yet! Thank you for taking the time and effort to put together such an educational video

Sources: The first part on the difference between the mind and thoughts is based on the following passages: “The Buddha exclaimed, ‘Ananda! That is not your mind!’ Startled, Ananda stood up, placed his palms together, and said to the Buddha, ‘If that is not my mind, what is it?’ The Buddha said to Ananda, ‘it is merely your mental processes that assign false and illusory attributes to the world of perceived objects. These processes delude you about your true nature and have caused you, since time without beginning and in your present life, to mistake a burglar for your own child - to lose touch with your own, original, everlasting mind - and thus you are bound to the cycle of death and rebirth.” -The Surangama Sutra With Excerpts from the Commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua, Buddhist Text Translation Society, p. 33. “[You] should shine the light of your understanding on the phenomena of the material world. Since all phenomena are subject to change and decay, how could any of them serve as a basis for the practice of Dharma? Contemplate the phenomena of the world, Ananda: which one of them does not decay? But you will never hear of space decaying. Why? Space is unconditioned, and so it has never been and can never be subject to dissolution.” -ibid, p. 171. "Good and Wise Friends, the emptiness of the physical universe can embrace the shapes and forms of the myriad things: the sun, moon, and stars; the mountains, rivers, and the whole earth; the fountains, springs, streams, and torrents; the grasses, trees, thick- ets, and woods; good and bad people, good and bad dharmas, the heavens and the hells, all the great seas, and the entirety of Mount Sumeru and all mountains-empty space contains them all. The emptiness of people’s nature is the same." -The Sixth Patriarch's Sutra - A New Translation, Buddhist Text Translation Society, p. 24. *** The section about being present with things as they are here & now can be traced to discussions around mindfulness (sati). See for example www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.010.nysa.html *** For the section on investigating non-self, I am indebted to the lucid and liberating work of Ilona Ciunaite. For a wonderful practical, direct and non-academic discussion on the topic, see liberationunleashed.com In Buddhism, the concept of non-self (anatto) is pervasive and discussed extensively. See for example, in the Vajirasutta: “Why do you believe there’s such a thing as a ‘sentient being’? Māra, is this your theory? This is just a pile of conditions, you won’t find a sentient being here. When the parts are assembled we use the word ‘chariot’. So too, when the aggregates are present ‘sentient being’ is the convention we use. But it’s only suffering that comes to be, lasts a while, then disappears. Naught but suffering comes to be, naught but suffering ceases.”,

Waiting for the second and third part of the lecture... Namo Amitabha Buddha..🙏🌷

Pháp môn tịnh độ ( dựa vào 48 đại nguyện của đức phật A Đi Đà ) là pháp môn dễ tu nhất, có 3 điều kiện này chắc chắn lúc chết sẽ được ngài đến dẫn bạn về thế giới tây phương cực lạc của ngài 1 :tinh tấn thực hành giữ 5 giới (không sát sinh, không tà dâm, không trộm cắp, không uống rượu và chất say, nếu ăn chay nữa thì càng tốt) và không làm những việc xấu ác, chỉ làm việc thiện , bởi vì thế giới của ngài là thế giới tịnh độ (rất thanh tịnh) nên việc giữ giới rất quan trọng, điều này sẽ giúp tâm bạn được thanh tịnh và có định lực 2: mỗi ngày xưng niệm chân thành danh hiệu ngài Nam mô A Đi Đà Phật hoặc A Di Đà Phật ( lúc niệm danh hiệu của ngài nên tập thói quen nhớ và nghĩ đến ngài bất kể ở đâu làm gì hay những lúc rảnh rỗi ), thường xuyên xưng niệm cho đến khi đạt được * trạng thái nhất niệm ( chắc chắn được sinh tái sinh về thế giới tây phương cực lạc nếu bạn phát nguyện mong muốn được tái sinh ở thế giới cực lạc của ngài ) 3 : phát nguyện muốn được tái sinh về thế giới tây phương của đức phật A Di Đà sau khi bạn chết đi Namo Amitoufo Namo Amitoufo Namo Amitoufo 🙏🙏🙏

Bravo! Popular culture is a great way to introduce modern folks to the many aspects of Buddha Dharma. It was my Dharma door many years ago and it still shows up everywhere if you know where to look. These video projects should definitely continue.

This is a great video, has Part 2 been posted? Please add link so we can view it. Thank you.

I have practiced Buddhism for years but recently my faith has been shaken and challenged. I kept asking myself, if the original words of the Historical Buddha as written in the Pali Canon did not referenced Pureland Buddhism directly, is it truly a form of Buddhism? Please shed some light on this troubled question I have so I may return back to Buddhism with greater faith. Namaste.

The logical circle is quite interesting. On the one hand, it’s the easy path because the work is done for you by the Buddha, all you need is to recite his name in complete faith. On the other hand, if you didn’t get transported to the pure land it must be because you didn’t have complete faith, so it’s your own fault and nothing to do with faulty doctrine. Since it’s not actually possible to choose that you believe the whole thing is immune to analysis since you can only find out if you already have complete faith.

where can we find the comprehensive spreadsheet of Abhidhamma? any chances you will talk about it more? Thank you : )

I think I'm more interested in Islam. Do you have any videos?

Like this video

The ending of the Matrix movie is ridiculous. if a kiss was enough to wake us up, we would all be awakened. The ending of Salvatore's film "Nirvana" makes more sense.

🙏🙏🙏

Very thoughtful explanation of pure land buddhism and wonderful production. Bravo! :) On a tangent, it also helps me visually understand the difference in approach between Venerable Hui-neng and Shen-hsiu, as illustrated by their poem, as well.

Please make more

Rejoice for your good explanation! Namo Amitabhaya, Namo Amituofo! 🙏🙏🙏

May compassion, patience, and wisdom, win over Love, hate, and the greed for god money.

Nice reflection, I would say a few things: There is the concept of shame in Buddhism, it's called hiri. what isn't there is guilt. If someone is really interested in more freedom, he should meditate a lot and lesson this video again and again. because we already know it, we just need to remember it.

🙏🙏🙏

Infinite Light Infinite Life - Namo Amituofo 🙏🙏🙏

Where is part 2?

Nam mo a di da phat! Faith Vow Practice!

This is beautifully done. Thank you!

When I closed my eyes and that realization came over me, I started to giggle, which then turned into a laugh until tears finally came outta my eyes! Wow, what an "ahh moment"...heard this idea so often and tried to conceptualize it. Now that i took the time to just stop, it came to me. Thanks for your content. 🙏🏻 I'm grateful. 🙏🏻

[🕒 A year ago the difference between zero (0) and nonzero numbers (1, 2, 3 and 4 etc) changed + why that matters]: Both sides in the Religion vs Science debates use the Materialism/Empiricism version of logic, math and physics which say 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D are "locally real" and 0D is "not locally real". Unfortunately for Materialism/Empiricism, quantum physics proved 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D are actually "not locally real" a year ago (Oct 2022 was the earliest article i could find). The immediate lead-up to this was the Nobel Prize proving quantum entanglement. Well over 300 years ago Leibniz vs Newton competed for the title of "Universal Genius". We chose Newton, obviously, but an interesting point is that nobody ever proved Materialism/Empiricism... we simply thought it "ought" to be true. The only proof that happened was a year ago when quantum physics flat-out disproved Materialism/Empiricism: The observable universe is "not locally real" and that proves we chose the wrong guy, full stop 🛑. Zero vs nonzero numbers are what we assign "locally real" and "not locally real" to. If zero is one thing then nonzero is the other. This is due to zero being "not-natural" whereas nonzero numbers are "natural". The absolute, nondualistic version of the observable universe proposed by Newton and Einstein does not exist anymore... and it never has existed (was never proven anyhow, only disproven). Leibniz said 0D is necessary and more real; having no predecessor and 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D are contingent and less real; all having an immediate predecessor. Leibniz was correct and that means we're all taught contradictory logic, math and physics. [What is the difference between Newton and Leibniz calculus?]: Newton's calculus is about functions. Leibniz's calculus is about relations defined by constraints. In Newton's calculus, there is (what would now be called) a limit built into every operation. In Leibniz's calculus, the limit is a separate operation. Then: 0 = not locally real 1 = locally real Now: 0 = locally real 1 = not locally real It's about time the same tired Religion vs Science arguments we've heard for over 300 years can be updated (on both sides). Holy guacamole the stalemate has been boring 💤.

I'm sure there's a word for that!

More religious woo dressed up in a lab coat. You lost the science with your emotional reliance on fantasy.👎

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

Yes, I have to watch this many many times. But the first is the best

======================= May Peace Prevail On Earth =======================

Pure Land is no paradise, it's more like buddhist bootcamp where there are ideal conditions to learn and practice Dharma and achieve Awakening

Buddha did not say life is illusion he said life is like an illusion there is difference because first suggests nihilism which is not Buddhism :-) Like an illusion here means that we perceive things to exist in and off themselves, to have some independent, solid, inherent status but things including ourselves don't exist like that. They are absent of that independence, solidness, inherent existence. Things are dependently arising. So when one finally understand that not just intellectually but perceives reality as it is, the matrix is shattered!

Mind creates everything. Buddha stated. Taoism stated, everything is emptiness..aka temporary

This makes so much sense to me. Looking forward to part 2!

Very good

This was a fascinating, informative video with great production. I hope you're able to produce a second part soon.
