My father died over a year ago. Not sure how to process it. I see him in dreams. Is it true in Buddhism after a year a soul has reincarnated? If so do my prayers still have value? Is he in the in-between state? Want to bless his soul but I have no religion, any thoughts from your tradition of Buddhism? Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon. ua-cam.com/play/PLiX6s1kV1fRMCQyR6F7b6HxXuBUn9Zgck.html&si=7nWb2Y5dT2JpZjzj Be happy and stay well.
I could be wrong, but Jesus did not really say to follow the ten commandments, but instead he summarized the ten commandments as: 1. love God, and 2. love your neighbour as yourself.

Hello sir, I am a young American who has just graduated college almost 2 years ago and been working in construction since. I was fortunate to travel to Nepal and live with a community of monks for one month and take an introductory class in college on the subject. I am very interested in devoting my life at this point towards the practices of Buddhism and cultivating a more patient and compassionate awareness but I am struggling to figure out where to start. You seem like an excellent opportunity to speak with someone about how to get started. Could I please ask to connect with you somehow and learn more about your experience? One quick question up front, are you practicing vajrayana Buddhism? Thank you for your time and space
Please see the channel description which also contains my contact email address. Sukhi Hontu

What a fucken load of shit.attachments to animals and social media..bunch of hypocrisy. Bunch of lazy people, who want to justify their actions. Buddha left his child ,wife ,what a fucken coward..why do you worship a coward
Wow Great reply, now go back and watch the video again😂😂😂
For example @3:40 Quran 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.”
@3:40 This is Avidya. Islam does not- Muhammad did not conform to this in his actions. Neither does Odinism for example.

@@englishmonk Parasocial copy aand paste reply all you got then?
Just acknowledging your comment.
Well yes, the Buddha does teach great things, however what he teaches is about Nirwana. If we take his teachings, we could argue, that some people may differ from the Buddha and might find Nirwana in a different way, than he taught. These people would then say that Buddha taught a lie, because they found Nirwana in another way. But the teachings of buddha aren't necessarly claims that can immediately proven to be false or right, because his teachings might differ from one person to another. From a christian perspective, Jesus taught us many things, such as the buddha, on how to go to heaven. However he clearly stated, that noone will go to heaven except through him. It would be easier to prove Jesus is a liar, because he doesnt make open claims like Buddha, but says things that could be fact-checked. About your claim if the bible was more or less reliable, well yes it is. The bible is considered a historical document, having over 400,000+ prophecies even about the end of the world where 1/3 has already been fulfilled.
Thank you.

I would like to make that determination and start my buddhist journey can we arrange a meeting online?
Your breathing crutch method has inspired me. I am very new to meditation and I've been feeling frustrated when trying to mediate as I have anxiety; my mind would wonder. I will try counting and stay focused on only counting, so my thoughts do not drift. I would like to apply this to my everyday activities as well. I want to free my mind of anxieties. If you have any other videos that help with my unnecessary worries i would love more advice. Thank you.
There are many talks on this channel about anxiety and there will be many more to come. ua-cam.com/video/fC3p5xGBMFs/v-deo.htmlsi=nISJT5yuWSX0suzi Here's just one. Keep watching. Sukhi Hontu
I had anxiety so bad that I would hide in my home and peak out the curtains. I can offer my experience. For me I had two issues, one (physical) and the other mental. The physical would be a knot in my stomach end even if I took action that knot would never disappear. Than was the constant battle against this free floating mental anxiety. As you probably know anxiety cannot be starved, cannot be actioned out, truly anxiety is an enigma, I could not mediate 15 minutes either. So somebody suggested that I meditate 3 times a day 90 seconds. That I could handle. So I did that. Sometime even 4 to 10 times a day for 90 seconds, It took about three weeks of BEING DEDICATED AND DOING THE WORK but wow my anxiety really dropped away. Now let me give the treasure you will gain from this exercise. You yourself will know the truth about mediation and no one would ever be able to break that conviction. Thats is a powerful tool. I also practise relaxing mentally the area in my body which the anxiety rests ( for me it is stomach) Good life my friend
Wonderful. 🙏🙏🙏

Dear ajahn, what is your opinion / perspective on buddhist sects that allow ordained monks to marry and have children?
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon. ua-cam.com/play/PLiX6s1kV1fRMCQyR6F7b6HxXuBUn9Zgck.html&si=7nWb2Y5dT2JpZjzj Be happy and stay well.
For me, it's hard to understand "angry due to being annoyed". I had never been in a state of revenge or overly angry to someone. But I'm constant to be annoyed with some tiny things in life. Someone behave uncorrectly to my standard, "annoyed". Someone say something unthinkable, "annoyed". It felt like I have anger issue and it's tiring. 😢

Hello Phra Dan, I have a somewhat unrelated question. Do you accept everything given to you in alms, such as meat, since it may or may not undermine Sila? Thank you.
