We all reincarnated here to suffer to redeem our sins so that we may return home to Heaven...............falun dafa. The more we suffer, the more black karma is removed from our souls.
For 2600 years it’s been around . Nowadays every single cooperate moron moron teaches and praises mindfulness which is useless without the full eightfold path. Watch out for false teachings . Go back to the Pali canon and stick to it
I listen to these videos time and again because I don’t want to forget the teachings. Many realisations occur each time I immerse myself to find no self exists
I think Buddha is transcendent -- his solid evidence on the awakening of human nature further into Buddha nature is above science. I Respect and appreciate his compassionate instruction and boundless wisdom. He was not merely a thinker but a doer, a practitioner as well. For his 49 years' teaching profound as a vast ocean. Wish everyone has the chance to dig into and fully understand Buddha's teaching no matter one takes it as a religion or not, is not the point. What we can learn from his teaching that is just the key. Thank you so much for Buddha's teaching!

Christ command us to love one another, even to love our enemy. If we will to follow His command, the world will be a beautiful place to live. In reality this is not possible because all man are sinful , unless one surrender their life to God, then He will empower us to live a righteous life and love all mankind.; that's why the world is such a mess, basically man are selfish, we hurt each other, even kill and destroy one another. I just heard the horrible news --- one crazy man went to a mosque and killed 50 in New Zealand's Christchurch. The root of the problem is : man reject CHRIST, He is the truth the way and the life , without Him we are like living dead, ; hope you will get to know JESUS, He is the only way !!!

I ama born Buddhist , I belive in enlightment . Buddhism relays when you change your mind the Universe changes with you. But you got to do the work. Tame your mind Not destroy it, tame it from unruliness. Make No distinction between the good and the bad . Meditate at first it wonders and brings to light to reality your mind the improper ones but continue do not give up after awhile it will show the light of good elluminating very slowly, embark, go on the bus .....

I respect your religious beliefs in reality. I was brought up in one of the Abrahamic monotheistic religions, and will return to the fold. You have chosen your religion, and I will chose mine, which will probably be Islam.

@@UA-camallowedmynametobestolen Yes I think that we all think different things when we say science. For me science is something that is trying to explain the true nature of all phenomena. Buddhist techings are called Dhamma which means truth or suchness. It would be more accurate to say that its primarly science of human mind. I thought that buddhism is a science in a scence that its practical and usefull. Ultimately we study science to be happier (to better our conditions which we think it will make us happier). Buddha said there is no need to go out of our way to better outward conditions. Its much more important to work with your mind. In that scence I find buddhism more usefull than science because it deals with suffering right away.

Not only Christianity but Islam and Greek philosophies are having debt of Buddhism. Before Christianity Buddhism already reached Alexandria, Syria and Greece. Indo-Greeks were Buddhist in the 2nd century BCE. Christianity also reached India when Jesus was still alive. Roman empire had long trade relationship with India, and they often travel to India. They learnt many things from India and modified Christianity. Monasticism, meditation, Ethics, Mudras (hand gestures), Ringing the Bell, even stories, idea of trinity, are borrowed from Buddhism. Read "Without Buddha I Could Not be a Christian" and 'THE UNKNOWN BUDDHA OF CHRISTIANITY'/ But it is sure that Buddha is incompatible. None can beat him. I was also Catholic by birth but love Buddha and his teachings.
Jesus spent half his life in India Tibet and Nepal. He was seriously into Buddhism. And if you read his words (the red type in the Bible) from a Buddhist perspective, you will see how his teachings have a very Buddhist nature.
The Dalai Lama website contains a statement where the Dalai Lama pleads to Burma monks to end violence including: Buddha always teaches us about forgiveness, tolerance, compassion", "If from one corner of your mind, some emotion makes you want to hit, or want to kill, then please remember Buddha's faith. We are followers of Buddha., "All problems must be solved through dialogue, through talk. The use of violence is outdated, and never solves problems."
My first refuge was a Buddhist nun. My mother was just my attacker. I was only four or five and the Buddha came to protect my mind from abuse and lead me toward the the three jewels...
i live in the three jewels and the four conscepts daily right mind , right speach right action and it is a difficult road indeed but we do what we do because we know it will reveal a better way in the end
@@thndn I find it very hard, takes a paradigm shift...not simple at all. If it was simple the world would be a better place. Teachings are straight forward tho Be well
I've spent too much time taking refuge in food, alcohol, and other things that don't provide any real help. I want to turn toward the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, but it's hard to break lifelong habits.
Suffering is the path to non-suffering. I go all in. I love my suffering. The rest follows my will. I hope you get to love your suffering. The rest will follow your will.
Everybody comments about Keanu, but I am hoping they watched the whole video, what a great speech by Thubten Dondrub, kindness and understanding, by His Holiness and the last nun, giving clarity and positive energy. I feel so happy to have taken refuge in the Three Jewels.
Shakyamuni was and is a compassionate teacher. My favorite lines from the Louts Sutra the 16 chapter is At all times, I am thinking to myself; how can I cause all living beings to gain entry in the unsurpassed way and quickly attain a body of a Buddha. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, Nam Myoho renge Kyo, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
Buddhism is not modern. Just to be a sotapana means you've left behind skeptical doubt which is a hindrance and is another name for post modernism-materialism and doubt about what is true or false
This is really beautiful because many do not find this in their hearts and the jewels are inside. When you find this you become satisfied and the monotonous wheel of life stops and we are on the journey to healing...
The mother image always interests me because I lost mine to suicide at such an early age. I know I'm being so literal, but for some reason this is resonating with me today, the nurturing mother.
Buddha nature is already within ourselves, we just have to realize that and that realization is the enlightenment. We are not looking for something new or trying to become something new. For example, If we are purifying the water, pure water is already there we just have to filter all substance that make water contaminated.
A enlightened WAY OF LIFE to fulfill our purpose of soul journey. Keanu gave such an essential, brief teaching that is so "to the point", "pivotal". Isn't it time for Humanity to reach ascention through enlightenment by Buddha's way of life.
It is not the matter of not understanding Buddhism. It is the matter of not being compassionate towards all beings and less selfish. So many people understand religion very well but lots them do opposite of what they learn in temples or churchs. That is why the problems we face all time.
the collections of several teachers, all sharing same teaching in their own words, really helps one gain a multidimensional view and speeds understanding. I appreciate having these put together all in one video, thank you so very much.
Cultivate within myself the desire to become spiritually enlightened as soon as possible. Teachers tend to throw statements out like that like this is something that we can do. I’m trying to keep it real here I don’t have that desire and either dose anyone I have met. If you possess that inclination I believe you are what they call enlightened already.
Can we not take care of the mind first and then as well take care of the body? Not being vain or selfish, but taking care of our bodies so that we are physically able to reduce our wrong doings physically and do increase our good doings physically. To help others in a concrete, tangible and visceral way. In my experience, the battle to find happiness, contentment and peace begins in the mind and after you feel it in the mind, you feel it in your body and then the environment around us will start to change. This was a very calming teaching for me and something that I needed to be reminded of, so thank you.
Very clear guidelines, going for Refuge is the base, the foundation 🙏🙏🙏 By going for Refuge to Buddha,Dhamma, Sangha May i develop wisdom to gain enlightenment for the benifit of all beings
At first person tries to recall his inner world and trying different types of practices and doings , but he easily forgets inner world when busy in world affairs. Then there comes a time when he will become tired of every practices and doings, .. and his sensitivity start to increase. Then there comes a time when his sensitivity becomes so deep that he does not need to remember his inner world but he will get reminder and messages from everything around him and whatever happening inside or outside of him. Everything drags him inside, and he becomes so deep that he starts to understand the inner language which is soundless and formless . Then there comes a time when he will become stunned, surprised by vast beauty , by unlimited joy vaster than any ocean , stillness deeper than any valley. Then he will see his face in the mirror and will be surprised that he never saw and met this person before and everything looks utterly new.
I'm an atheist mostly (just a shortcut labeling to make my point) so i am against organized religions...But when you take aspects of Buddhism and Hinduism, Tao, Kabbalah, Christianity and ancient Egypt you can see a pattern. They share something in common. From my experience i can say: There is not a single path. But you need a solitary thinking space. You need to get away from city life more intact with nature. After a while, nature takes its course and you somehow face death (Your cat dies, father dies etc). You can say "i have no fear of death" but every living thing has it in the base of its existence. So starting point is there... You have to get frustrated, anxious, scared upto a point that your senses get widened. Then you'll experience some paranoid-schizophrenic episodes and your subconscious mind will guide you through it. You'll face your inner demons first of all...You have to get over them (not get rid of them, you learn to be compassionate towards everything and that gives you strength)... Anyway, whole structure is about Solomon's temple metaphor. Fear welcomes you at the gates of the garden...When you enter the garden, you'll feel that you are in the temple but you are not. You'll learn some aspects of the true nature of things but you'll have to get over them, too...If you can accept and leave those teachings you'll step into the inner chamber. You are not still in the temple at that stage. (You'll start to think that there is a lot going on "outside" and you were not aware of it.) You have to see that what you learned in the garden was only to get you into the chamber. They are not applicable anymore and you need to overwrite what you've learnt. From there you'll start to think that "there is nothing outside, everything is inside me"... And you'll step into the real temple room. Master chamber...There you'll learn "There is no outside and inside...There is only one"... That's it really. But words are not important. You must experience it. That experience will rewire you. You will no longer see yourself as a "body" or "mind" or "soul" but a combination of all..."One"...
Sounds legit. (Nope, not really.) First clue, you don't even know the correct spelling of the city that you claim to be born in. Its Mumbai and not MumbHai. Second, Buddhism did not start in Mumbai any more than it started in New York. Buddhism originated in what is today the Indian state of Bihar. Bihar is where the Buddha became enlightened and gave his sermons.
Samten Ngawang.I,m an new american idol.I love teaching loving understanding language international world and English.The Budhistm is best live and strong.Thanking you and teaching is listen keep in my,life.
I must admit I'm ready for some pause, a refuge. Of Enlightenment I don't know. How do I grow and change if I am "ready"? On the other hand I feel like.. how many human lives must one live before it is okay to stop? Be ready, but I can't ever be ready. Indras web. I am mere reflection of everything around and about me, and I only exist as reflections in the world around me. I am empty of desire. Though maybe not in a good way as it was achieved by addiction in not accepted escapism. So a path of suffering and rejection by society. Desert among people, fools journey to nothing. "Trashing my body to the benefit of the mind" indeed. Was my favorite self justification- Yet I am content in my doing nothing of "worth" except to myself . I seek knowledge, peace, and dance at times. To help others, I try to be the authentic me with consideration and compassion. I fear not lower reincarnations, I fear reincarnation of self awareness to continue. My little in the moment sprung thoughts. . Don't know about perfect wisdom, total knowledge except that of melting into all I doubt exists. As individual humans, no. But as something more, I guess is the point. Once, when all the lives have been lived, every path walked and all remembered can we understand Buddha. We, not I or you. We are all laughing in the end, content. Thank you for the video.

I've been to Tibet every summer for the past 30 years. It's a great place. They are far more free than us on the outer, inner and secret levels. Tibetans in Tibet aren't consumed with jealousy and hatred like the ones in India and the West are. You want to see destruction of culture just go see the American Indians. If you want to see preserved Tibetan culture, just go to Tibet. You've got to go to know! Don't believe the propaganda, just follow your heart! Good karma builds temples, bad karma destroys them. What kind of karma are you creating? Everything is self perfected through the nature of wisdom. May all Tibetans in the West realize this! Everything is perfect just as it is, nothing to add, nothing to take away. May you find the peace of mind free from all animosity, just like the glorious Lotus Born Guru! If exiled Tibetans are so worried about Human Rights how come they don't protest the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc....
Once a lama walked in on his son sitting cross legged with his eyes closed and asked, "Are you meditating?" His son affirmed. The lama advised his son, "Don't try. Just enjoy the natural luminescence of your mind." Nobel Prize winner in quantum physics, Max Planck, is know for his quote, "Behind this consciousness must be a mind..."
I think that it is unfair that peoples let some unpleasant comments about who will save who. WHO YOU ARE TO SAY WHAT IT IS BAD!! You are one of that categories who limit our mind to spread our LOVE!
Aun Mani Padmi Hung .. I take refuge in the 3 Jewels. the Buddha the Dharma and Sangha. May all being find that noble happiness that can never be tainted by suffering. .... Aum
Buddha is the discoverer of the medicine for all beings exist in the 31 planes within this galaxy and Dharma is the medicine , Sangha's role is like a pharmacist, (in order to propagate Dharma within communities the Buddha Sasana was formed) they (Sangha) explain to patients (people) after evaluating their needs how the medicine should be taken, based on the individual's knowledge and understanding of Dharma, their willingness to learn, their capacity to comprehend, the timing, their condition, dedication etc. Buddha Dharma is not a religion, it is a living system, in fact Buddha never had a religion, and unfortunately the modern day Buddhist cults have made it into a religion. The complete Buddha's teaching is based on the Three Universal Characteristics of life existence. A person who will come to understand these three will understand the reality 'the Truth' but one needs to experience these three to get into the eight fold path. That is why Buddha Dharma is so hard to practise in this modern era. People's minds are corrupt with modern formal education, which is the opposite of Buddha's teaching, the formal education system teaches us to compete with each other, further the system manipulate societies using media to promote consumerism in order to control them. 2600 years ago the world/ Indian civilisation was exactly the opposite of what we experience today. To practice Dharma was part of daily living for them.
Examine the mind and how it creates happiness and suffering. Learn to transform destructive thoughts and attitudes to create a positive and joyous mind!

Initially a person pretends that he is awake. Because he thinks that ,he knows more, he talks more , he struggles more he ask more, he does more. Then one day he sits deeply engrossed into him , Then suddenly he found that he is actually sleeping but not awake. Once someone in reality found that he is sleeping , then sound of wind, then sound of word, then small action , then small gesture make him awake. This sleep is very near to awakening.

For example, If we are purifying the water, pure water is already there we just have to filter all substance that make water contaminated.
A enlightened WAY OF LIFE to fulfill our purpose of soul journey. Keanu gave such an essential, brief teaching that is so "to the point", "pivotal". Isn't it time for Humanity to reach ascention through enlightenment by Buddha's way of life.
So kind and thougthful to humankind...
I'm so proud of your purpose to health..
Mr.Reeves has a good deed in life.💖
thank you to Karin Valhalm, she really did a great job. When she spoke I understood with perfect clarity...
"Be excellent to each other."
Dont you mean be most excellent to each other
Is Keanu Reeves a Buddhist?
@Genevieve Hennacy and whats that based on? Your prejudice. You could learn a lot here. Keep going, you can do it...
No but he follows teaching of Buddha
I find the teaching of Buddha very interesting. Wish I can learn more
@@bubblezovlove7213 He says he's not a Buddhist towards the end of this interview ua-cam.com/video/Qdeglw2DcPI/v-deo.html
Buddhist is just a label, what’s important is teaching, practicing and experiencing it oneself.
If everybody truely understand Buddhism, there will be no war.
keranstroungh
Is that the reason why so many Buddhist temples fought each other?
@@medeaendor3706 In where?
It is not the matter of not understanding Buddhism. It is the matter of not being compassionate towards all beings and less selfish. So many people understand religion very well but lots them do opposite of what they learn in temples or churchs. That is why the problems we face all time.
Myanmar , Sri Lanka ... pretty radical Buddhists out there yer know
very true buddhisum is one and only one solution in earth
Buddha is great messenger for peace, love of person and society
Iv been trying since 2000 im an empath(trying) to be a Buddhist i have natural compassion to all life not just humans 🙏
These are the most wonderful videos...thank you so much for putting them on you tube!
I went for Refuge in the Triple Gem, and took the Five Precepts at a Theravada Buddhist temple with the abbot and monks. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 ☸️
the collections of several teachers, all sharing same teaching in their own words, really helps one gain a multidimensional view and speeds understanding. I appreciate having these put together all in one video, thank you so very much.
Buddham Saranam Ghachame Dharmam Saranam Ghachame Sangham Saranam Ghachame
I liked the testimony in the end...for the blissfull sharing. Thank you!
Wtf I thought I was trippin when I saw my homie keanu
Cultivate within myself the desire to become spiritually enlightened as soon as possible. Teachers tend to throw statements out like that like this is something that we can do. I’m trying to keep it real here I don’t have that desire and either dose anyone I have met. If you possess that inclination I believe you are what they call enlightened already.
Can we not take care of the mind first and then as well take care of the body? Not being vain or selfish, but taking care of our bodies so that we are physically able to reduce our wrong doings physically and do increase our good doings physically. To help others in a concrete, tangible and visceral way. In my experience, the battle to find happiness, contentment and peace begins in the mind and after you feel it in the mind, you feel it in your body and then the environment around us will start to change. This was a very calming teaching for me and something that I needed to be reminded of, so thank you.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. 👍🏽🙏
Very clear guidelines, going for Refuge is the base, the foundation
🙏🙏🙏
By going for Refuge to Buddha,Dhamma, Sangha
May i develop wisdom to gain enlightenment for the benifit of all beings
My favourite actor with full of respect n love not only actor
Qd vc despertar para que a vida é um sonho. Vc descobriu a essência do Budismo. 🙏🏻🍃
At first person tries to recall his inner world and trying different types of practices and doings , but he easily forgets inner world when busy in world affairs. Then there comes a time when he will become tired of every practices and doings, .. and his sensitivity start to increase. Then there comes a time when his sensitivity becomes so deep that he does not need to remember his inner world but he will get reminder and messages from everything around him and whatever happening inside or outside of him. Everything drags him inside, and he becomes so deep that he starts to understand the inner language which is soundless and formless . Then there comes a time when he will become stunned, surprised by vast beauty , by unlimited joy vaster than any ocean , stillness deeper than any valley. Then he will see his face in the mirror and will be surprised that he never saw and met this person before and everything looks utterly new.
imagine a place where everyone is happy every human every animal every insect imagine
Amida Buddhas Pure Land 🙏
The interview with the student is so good.
Neo took the red pill !
ha ha
I'm an atheist mostly (just a shortcut labeling to make my point) so i am against organized religions...But when you take aspects of Buddhism and Hinduism, Tao, Kabbalah, Christianity and ancient Egypt you can see a pattern. They share something in common.
From my experience i can say: There is not a single path. But you need a solitary thinking space. You need to get away from city life more intact with nature. After a while, nature takes its course and you somehow face death (Your cat dies, father dies etc). You can say "i have no fear of death" but every living thing has it in the base of its existence. So starting point is there...
You have to get frustrated, anxious, scared upto a point that your senses get widened. Then you'll experience some paranoid-schizophrenic episodes and your subconscious mind will guide you through it. You'll face your inner demons first of all...You have to get over them (not get rid of them, you learn to be compassionate towards everything and that gives you strength)...
Anyway, whole structure is about Solomon's temple metaphor. Fear welcomes you at the gates of the garden...When you enter the garden, you'll feel that you are in the temple but you are not. You'll learn some aspects of the true nature of things but you'll have to get over them, too...If you can accept and leave those teachings you'll step into the inner chamber. You are not still in the temple at that stage. (You'll start to think that there is a lot going on "outside" and you were not aware of it.)
You have to see that what you learned in the garden was only to get you into the chamber. They are not applicable anymore and you need to overwrite what you've learnt. From there you'll start to think that "there is nothing outside, everything is inside me"...
And you'll step into the real temple room. Master chamber...There you'll learn "There is no outside and inside...There is only one"...
That's it really. But words are not important. You must experience it. That experience will rewire you.
You will no longer see yourself as a "body" or "mind" or "soul" but a combination of all..."One"...
very well put
Can u elaborate on this temple metaphor? I dont seem to fully understand it
I consider Buddhism is more of a philosophy,a set of guidelines on how to live fully.
I'm a proud practitioner of nicherin buddhism....love and peace to all
where teachers and students basked in a never ending comfort of compassion imagine this place
You are right.Congragulations for understanding the concept of Madhyamaka or the Middle Way.
Travel to Napal, to see Buddha’s palace, very very beautiful 🙏
buddhism is a way of life, n o t a religion. i was born in mumbhai or bombay where buddhism started.
Sounds legit. (Nope, not really.) First clue, you don't even know the correct spelling of the city that you claim to be born in. Its Mumbai and not MumbHai. Second, Buddhism did not start in Mumbai any more than it started in New York. Buddhism originated in what is today the Indian state of Bihar. Bihar is where the Buddha became enlightened and gave his sermons.
Atanu Dey well I don't believe you

Thank you kindly, Keanu.
You're well-appreciated for all that you do. 😇
I’m so glad I clicked this video and thank you very much for this teaching 🙏🏼!
I must admit I'm ready for some pause, a refuge. Of Enlightenment I don't know. How do I grow and change if I am "ready"?
On the other hand I feel like.. how many human lives must one live before it is okay to stop? Be ready, but I can't ever be ready.
Indras web.
I am mere reflection of everything around and about me, and I only exist as reflections in the world around me. I am empty of desire.
Though maybe not in a good way as it was achieved by addiction in not accepted escapism. So a path of suffering and rejection by society. Desert among people, fools journey to nothing. "Trashing my body to the benefit of the mind" indeed. Was my favorite self justification-
Yet I am content in my doing nothing of "worth" except to myself . I seek knowledge, peace, and dance at times.
To help others, I try to be the authentic me with consideration and compassion.
I fear not lower reincarnations, I fear reincarnation of self awareness to continue.
My little in the moment sprung thoughts. . Don't know about perfect wisdom, total knowledge except that of melting into all I doubt exists. As individual humans, no. But as something more, I guess is the point. Once, when all the lives have been lived, every path walked and all remembered can we understand Buddha. We, not I or you. We are all laughing in the end, content.
Thank you for the video.
27 years of riasing kundalini. i was 31 when my charkras opened. two near death experiences i was made aware of my soul. crown chakra opened 6 years later. it's no picnic. my mother is maha tara
Hey can I contact you?
Thank you. 迴向：愿以此功德，庄严佛净土，上报四重恩，下济三涂苦，若有见闻者，悉发菩提心，尽此一报身，同生极乐国。
beside tana (donation) and sila (five precepts),
mindfulness practice is the first step on the path to nirvana.
just keep practicing.
Wonderful episode about refuge from samsara.
I love anything Keanu says.
Thank you from tony joyce a lay buddhist in huddersfield
I've been to Tibet every summer for the past 30 years. It's a great place. They are far more free than us on the outer, inner and secret levels. Tibetans in Tibet aren't consumed with jealousy and hatred like the ones in India and the West are. You want to see destruction of culture just go see the American Indians. If you want to see preserved Tibetan culture, just go to Tibet. You've got to go to know! Don't believe the propaganda, just follow your heart!
Good karma builds temples, bad karma destroys them. What kind of karma are you creating? Everything is self perfected through the nature of wisdom. May all Tibetans in the West realize this! Everything is perfect just as it is, nothing to add, nothing to take away. May you find the peace of mind free from all animosity, just like the glorious Lotus Born Guru!
If exiled Tibetans are so worried about Human Rights how come they don't protest the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc....
Senhor, o budismo e o silêncio do budismo não é outra coisa além de um berro contra toda violência. Se liga aí.
you can get the module on FPMT online learning center or FPMT Shop
Refuge is like a rain coat, temporarily gets you from point A to B. Meditation symbolize shelter, peace, calm, and long standing.
Once a lama walked in on his son sitting cross legged with his eyes closed and asked, "Are you meditating?" His son affirmed. The lama advised his son, "Don't try. Just enjoy the natural luminescence of your mind." Nobel Prize winner in quantum physics, Max Planck, is know for his quote, "Behind this consciousness must be a mind..."
I think that it is unfair that peoples let some unpleasant comments about who will save who. WHO YOU ARE TO SAY WHAT IT IS BAD!! You are one of that categories who limit our mind to spread our LOVE!
I didn’t know Keanu was Buddhist 🙏 Very happy to hear that 🙏Namo Guan Shin Yin Pusa
🙏 Namo Amituofo
AMTF!
Aun Mani Padmi Hung .. I take refuge in the 3 Jewels. the Buddha the Dharma and Sangha.
May all being find that noble happiness that can never be tainted by suffering. .... Aum
Good evening from Marquette michigan
Suffering is the path to non-suffering.
Yes and Falun Dafa is a wonderful path.
Thanks you keanu reeves.
Buddha is the discoverer of the medicine for all beings exist in the 31 planes within this galaxy and Dharma is the medicine , Sangha's role is like a pharmacist, (in order to propagate Dharma within communities the Buddha Sasana was formed) they (Sangha) explain to patients (people) after evaluating their needs how the medicine should be taken, based on the individual's knowledge and understanding of Dharma, their willingness to learn, their capacity to comprehend, the timing, their condition, dedication etc. Buddha Dharma is not a religion, it is a living system, in fact Buddha never had a religion, and unfortunately the modern day Buddhist cults have made it into a religion.
The complete Buddha's teaching is based on the Three Universal Characteristics of life existence. A person who will come to understand these three will understand the reality 'the Truth' but one needs to experience these three to get into the eight fold path. That is why Buddha Dharma is so hard to practise in this modern era. People's minds are corrupt with modern formal education, which is the opposite of Buddha's teaching, the formal education system teaches us to compete with each other, further the system manipulate societies using media to promote consumerism in order to control them. 2600 years ago the world/ Indian civilisation was exactly the opposite of what we experience today. To practice Dharma was part of daily living for them.
where are the mathematicians in this om debate the vibration of perfection is heard clearly
there is no threat if one knows no fear
Examine the mind and how it creates happiness and suffering. Learn to transform destructive thoughts and attitudes to create a positive and joyous mind!
Good job Keanu Reeves. Please practice Buddhism but don't loose your identity. Richard Gere is pretty good example.
Well there are those who think any practice is like a cult though.
Whoa, he truly is the one.
Tank you very much, merci beaucoup, also many tanks to H.H.Dalai Lama en friends around the world, step by step , tank you very much to Lama Zopa Rinpoche en is friends around the world, tank you very much for lamas pour nous apprendre, à être, compassion, altruisme, gentillesse, les uns envers les autres, humilié et gratitude. Merci tank you very much
Thank you for sharing 🙇🙏

Now we know why Keanu is always so calm and composed
E Ma Ho! Wonderful Teaching my Vajra Brother!
Further proof that keanu really did crack the matrix!
Om mani padme hum! Namaste dear brothers and sisters 🙏 🪷
Thank you so much for everyone. Wonderful video
Initially a person pretends that he is awake. Because he thinks that ,he knows more, he talks more , he struggles more he ask more, he does more. Then one day he sits deeply engrossed into him , Then suddenly he found that he is actually sleeping but not awake. Once someone in reality found that he is sleeping , then sound of wind, then sound of word, then small action , then small gesture make him awake. This sleep is very near to awakening.
Starts sensible then he goes on about a “perfect Buddha who can cure everything” and that was the end for me
I’m very excited to watch the great video 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️ thank you very much 🙏🌹🌺
