Ajahn Amaro (born 1956) is a Theravāda Buddhist monk and teacher, and abbot of the Amaravati Buddhist Monastery at the eastern end of the Chiltern Hills in south east England. The centre, in practice as much for ordinary people as for monastics, is inspired by the Thai forest tradition and the teachings of the late Ajahn Chah. Its chief priorities are the practice and teaching of Buddhist ethics, together with traditional concentration and insight meditation techniques, as an effective way of dissolving suffering.
Impermanence is one of the essential doctrines or three marks of existence in Buddhism. The term expresses the Buddhist notion that all of conditioned existence, without exception, is transient, or in a constant state of flux. The mutability of life, that time passes on no matter what happens, is an important aspect of impermanence. The Pali word anicca literally means "inconstant", and arises from a synthesis of two separate words, 'Nicca' and the "privative particle" 'a'.[1] Where the word 'Nicca' refers to the concept of continuity and permanence, 'Anicca' refers to its exact opposite; the absence of permanence and continuity.
Anicca or impermanence is understood by Buddhists as one of the three marks of existence, the others being dukkha (unsatisfactoriness) and anatta (non-selfhood).[2] All things in the universe are understood by Buddhists to be characterised by these three marks of existence. According to the impermanence doctrine, human life embodies this flux in the aging process, the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara), and in any experience of loss. This is applicable to all beings and their environs including devas (mortal gods). The Buddha taught that because conditioned phenomena are impermanent, attachment to them becomes the cause for future suffering (dukkha).

27:18 secs: Impermanence has its recursive definition, but lets say that the Kosmoses are biased in such a way that intelligent organism will be made naturally, but in a smal fashion... the intelligent organism, form a node of sorts...
changeless as well, somethings ALWAYS happen.... Thank you Heaven and Earth.
and thank you again for posting.
Thank you wise teacher 🙏🙏🙏☸☸☸
Very good!
21:30secs,
Perhaps there is a hearwood among the leaves, but the branch holding them all must get them to move in a SIMULATANEOUslY,
orchestrated movement...
then the variance, that holds can be given a new direction for the betterment of all the leaves...
28:23 secs: When beauty is born so is ugliness, but ill posit beauty is first to be born, because its unversal to a degree, in syntactical format as well,, (varied but similar meanings),
universal in our desire to experience and know beauty,
universal in our desire to know beauty and how to fabricate it,
from the mud of unconscious recursions...
Thank you Heaven and Earth.
31:02 Is very true.🙏🏻🧘♀️😊
22:31, indeed the net of Indra, it traps like no orher...
but happiness and joy are truly better than pain and misery,
with the string just right,
the three bears porridge is released upon humankind, .
the age of the one mind,
that which the sangha, and buddha relied upon in their transform
more powerful than any one man's mind,
We can pretend we are different,
but were are and are not different,
we are and are not actors,
being individual, the illusion,
and of one mind,
the truth apprehended...

yes
Agreed. But to live ones life based on what WILL happen in the future, seems to go against the teachings. Enjoy what IS today
How to achieve Nirvana.
Explained in simple for a Non Buddhist person :
Universe is a Holographic projection to your mind
and mind act as the processor. .. As long as you do not realize this is a
holographic projection or a "Maya" or an "illusion " and
decode it as real you believe it is real. As long as you perceive it as real
and act on that notion you create Karmas which keeps you trapped and bound in
this holographic reality .. To this
particular process Buddhist and Hindus call the Wheel of Samsara. In fact this
world is aprison planet.
Here is the Method how to Escape from the Samsara
and achieve the"Nirvana" or the liberation.. The Method in Nutshell
is like this: Before learning how to exit,
you need to be armed with a
little bit of know how. Specifically how a being or a person ( Beings are
originally from a place called Aabassara Brahma loka, an Alian planet and of
pure light) is lured to get trapped due to it's curiosity. As the
beings are very curious and wants to see, know, taste, hear, sense and
experience all. Just like a fish trap this curiosity was used against the
beings to initially trap them and also to keep them inside
the trap .
It is just like some
Casinos use various attractions like food, drinks and other
entertainments to keep you inside. Similarly, what
keeps you bound to this cruel game of life and death called Samsara are also
attractions offered to please your five senses. That means visions to please
your eyes, sounds to please your ears, smells, tastes, sensory pleasers through
your skin. All these are dangled in front of your nose and come nicely
wrapped in the form of love, romance,
parties, properties, cars, wealth, family and friends , beautiful bodies,
health and wealth. Etc… Etc… and once you indulge in it youkeep wishing more
and more of those.
Why you wish it again and again . ? Because you got
attached to it in your mind and more you think about it .. more you get
attached more you create energy of bond called.. Karmic bond or “Upadana’ . This is the trap. Upadanas are
like an electronic tag attached to an commodity in a shop. How much you try to
hide it in the pocket you cannot leave the
shop floor as long as you carry that thing with you. As long as you have
attachments and wishes of sensual objects you hope to posses you cannot leave this
prison. If you want to leave, then you need to clean your mind of the
baggage and leave empty handed through
the gate with out trying to take anything with you even in your mind.
That is why it is important to clean up your mind
from attachments and defilements. Since it is your mind, you have to do it by
yourself as no other external force
can clean your mind foryou, however
advanced that external force or the
civilization is. In nutshell the way out from prison is not to have any desire
for anything within the walls of the prison( the World).
What you wish, what you get. (Remember .. that,
your wish is the command in this holographicsimulation world). With that wish
comes the physical body. The second prison.
Since the condition of the imprisonment is such,
that the prisoners are wiped out of former life's memory with each cycle of
birth, and only wishes being granted according to good or bad merits they
earned in the past life (Just like in an ordinary prison the prisoners are
rewarded for their good conduct within the prison and bad ones tough
conditions), thus they forget the knowledge, and having to start a new ever
time, they get trapped in this never ending wish that keeps person bound ,
imprisoned and slaved to this vicious circle of birth and death called
Samsara.. This leads to never ending
sufferings of a being without him realizing it.. The mosteffective prison is
where the inmates does not know that they are prisoners.
To get released
from this prison world, apart from having an excellent understanding
of the principle of the workings of the trap called Law of cause and
effect ( Also called as "Pattichcha Samuppada" principle of the
generation of attachments) one needs to know 4 truths about the nature
of imprisonment or the trap (called 4 Nobel Truths) and 3 Qualities of the life inside the trap
(1 Anichcha, 2 Dukkha, 3 Anartha). Once you really understand that you are in
the process of liberation. Since it is the knowledge that liberates you. There
is no need to pray to any god for the salvation. While Buddhism does not
dispute the existence of the higher godly realms and even talks about godly
beings, what Buddhism teach us is that your salvation should be made by
yourself through your intellect without waiting for the help from any other
force.

Lakshman Abeykoon how to achieve nirvana from a Buddhist person: don’t cling to anything.
Wow I don't think this is simple at all. The Buddha said in Kayagatasati Sutta in Samyutta Nikaya that Nibbana is Greed-uprooted (Lobhakkhaya), Hatred-uprooted (Dosakkhaya) and Delusion-uprooted (Mohakkhaya), just this is the Nibbana
The teachings are great, but we can all agree that there was no Buddha, or if there was, his teachings were expanded upon. Like all religions, they are based on a fictitious person...
There is evidence to believe Siddhartha became the Buddha. But, it is uncertain.
There was a historical Buddha named Gotama. And his teachings are well-preserved in the Sutta Pitaka and Vinaya Pitaka.

there's the insubstantial pot calling the empty kettle black... ;)
...and of course there is no path but only a fool wouldn't follow it.
