RIP John. His teachings are the clearest, most concise and well structured of any on YT. He speaks clearly, calmly with understanding. Hope he's now in the heavenly realms.
Indeed 🙏🏾
I came to comment to say how this is the most at peace I've felt in a long time watching this, he talks in a manor which invokes what he is teaching. But felt grief flush through my body reading this comment 🥹
I was actually just wondering if he was still alive, as he looks like he's nearing the end of his life in this video. I never listened to a teaching from him before, but now that I'm starting to listen to his series, I'm learning a lot. May he rest in peace 🙏
Wonderful to hear that you are learning. Thank you for the feedback.
His body may be resting in peace but his spirit is very busy indeed, spreading the good teachings...@@LondonBuddhistVideos
"Buddha's teachings are like a lighthouse in the storm of life. The more I delve into them, the more I find peace and clarity. Thank you for sharing this enlightenment."
I will be listening to this over and over! I find this most I formative!
I'm very glad to come across an explanation of buddhism spoken by a native English speaker.
Ditto. He’s an orator .
Namo buddhaya
Even to a born buddhist from Burma like me, his explanation about Buddhism clarifies a lot of things I previously did not understand.

Found it very wise. Thank you so much for this video I did not find many sources that offer such a clear explanation.
Thank you very much for your feedback. He was indeed a superb teacher, and much loved too.
Hello, friend. I think you may like The Venerable Robina Courtin. She's a brilliant, knowledgeable, logical, I sincere nun of Buddhism who teaches worldwide.
Today is July 24th, 2020 & it is the auspicious occasion when Lord Buddha gave this First teaching of the 4 Noble Truth. Your video gives a very clear explanation of that teaching. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing
Ever Notice that the concept of a heaven to go to is a reflection of the desire to have no suffering & the craving for the end of 'life is a state of constant flux' for things to stop changing so we dont have to experience the dukkha of the unknown, learning/adapting & losing something that accompany change?
Good observation.
You got that right. I’m exhausted being a human being. More quantum leaps.
This is great and very clear lecture serious.
Thank you Bhante ❤🙏
Thanks for posting all these lessons.
Thank you Silence N Hikes. You are most welcome.
Thank you so much for all of your explanation. It's really rare to find a resourcefulness like your channel about Buddha. I really appreciate your work. Please keep up with that. It would help a lot of people to understand about Buddhism ❤️
He is a Master. Much respect, and love to you, Sir.
I really enjoyed his lecture! Thank you for uploading this!
Thank you for the positive feedback HangulHeroine. With Metta, LBV
Thank you sir for a great video on Buddhism.you are the best I heard.i am a beginner really but have been interested in Buddhism a long time Thank you again London is a great place for learning.
Thank you Michael MC loughlin
In most places a senior students with often low intelligence, will teach new students. This is a mistake because they don't teach or answer questions well. Often getting things quite wrong and inadverently putting people off or confusing them. In this instance Richard's high intelligence enabled him to teach well and he has the depth of understanding to answer people's questions.
Thank you so much. Sathu sathu sathu.
Excellent! Thank you!
Thank you for providing some instruction and wisdom on Buddhism. I appreciate it.
You're welcome
This is very deep teaching.. it is more into ABHIDHAMMA teaching. Excellent video. Thank you!

Thanks for posting! Informative and useful!
The Dhamma is indeed useful and informative, Osprey. Thank you for the feedback.
When is there nothing taking place in our consciousness? I heard that even in our sleep we are busy Mentally ...thank you for this clear video .
Thank you sukhmanicambridge. Was there a question or was your comment rhetorical? If so, I will forward it to a monk at the Vihara and post their reply as soon as I have one. metta
London Buddhist Videos a real question, that is very kind, thank you.

Profound.
Great talk, its a shame the students were not as receptive to this mans great insight and teaching
Thank you for your feedback Oliver Auguste. I am so glad you enjoyed the talk. However, I do not know what you mean about the student’s receptivity? My recollection is that all the students present during filming were most grateful and most receptive of this dhamma transmission. Or are you referring to some of the comments perhaps? Metta ann warmest regards. Paula, editor London Buddhist Videos
were you there? how do you know if they were or not?
Suffering covers it. The subtle examples are just smaller/minor states of suffering.
'suffering, large & small'
'stress & suffering' to be more specific.

Thank you so much sir. I really needed it.
Dear Naima. Richard passed away in April 2018 but I know he would be most delighted and grateful to know that you are benefitting from the Dhamma. Metta to you. Paula, London Buddhist Videos (and one of Richard’s many grateful students)
@@LondonBuddhistVideos I'm sorry to hear that. May his soul rest in peace. I grew up in Muslim family and new to Buddhism. This channel is really helpful. Thanks once again. Love and greetings from Pakistan 😊
I enjoyed this
Thank you Tim. That is good to hear.

Hello Louisiana Apple. I will post a few more videos in the summer.
So his notes exist anywhere? I appreciate his clear explanation of the 4 Nobel truths

life is demanding me to go all the way..
Buddha's last words: "All individual things pass away. Strive on with diligence." @mestayno, I applaud your intention to diligence on this path. All best wishes and with metta, Paula, Channel Editor.
Thank you@@LondonBuddhistVideos
Studying how to become enlightened is furthering the distance from that realization. Look within, as the Buddha taught. Don’t convolute it with every little detail. Religioufying such a beautiful thing.
Though your point is valid, he is a teacher here and it's his dharma to go deep into the teachings, understand and convey to his students and audience.
Let all use these valuable teachings as reference but use oneself and ones thoughts as their textbook.

very nice talk. where can i find more of his talks. i saw in the comments that he passed away, may he rest in peace.
@ben Simmons Thank you. I am glad you found your way to Richard’s talks.
The only thing i just can’t understand about all this, is the idea of the many planes… Is there any thing pointing to its existence apart from the buddha’s?
Is there any place to get the print outs that he provided to the class?

16:59 Think crowd surfing.
Buddha's spiritual journey didn't cease with that particular life., "he" is still here on this planet in flesh form and the lives lived by that character, like many others, has had a significant impact not only on this world but on many more.
Also, here's an interesting read online; Buddha Has To Be Dated To 1800 B.C. by Prithviraj R.
Although "my" sources say closer to 3500 B.C.

After watchng all lessons will i then understand buddas philosophy of life ? This covers everything?
Hello @_notabot_. The Buddha taught the same ‘material’ (the Dhamma / Dharma) on many levels over his long ministry. This beginners series is pretty comprehensive; the only content missing from Richard Jone’s beginners lectures is the prehistory of Buddhism. One day I may add that content for the context - which is illuminating. For a ‘higher’ level of thre same teachings look at the A hiddhamma playlist on this channel or others such as Bhikkhu Bodhi. There you will find much more minute, granular detail of the psychological processes of the Dhamma. Please feel free to email with any questions or to request handouts. LondonBuddhistvideos@gmail.com. With metta 💎💎💎
This is so good!
Can you just give me the right spelling for "Asamkuter" 41:41 and "Amidasanan" I really couldn't wrap my head around them.
Thanks!!
have sourced two spellings:
Asamkhata - this spelling used by Richard’s Source, Walpole Sri Rahula. lt is also used on London Buddhist Vihara website.
Asankhata - this spelling is used in the Buddhist Dictionary by Nyanariloka.
I will need some time to confirm the spelling of the second word. Thank you for your encouraging comments.
@@LondonBuddhistVideos Thank you so muchhh
No worries. I am awaiting a reply from one of the Monks at the London Buddhist Vihara regarding the second term. Metta
Dear Emila. I have had a reply to your query from Ven. Kassapa, a resident monk at the London Buddhist Vihara. He says:
“Sorry for the delay replying. Yes it is correct, the word he uses is 'Anidassanam' and it means 'without characteristics'. This is used to describe the nature of Nibbana.
With Metta
Ven Kassapa”
Please also see commentary (note 1) on this webpage: www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn35/sn35.023.than.html
It there a way to get the notes that were distributed in these lectures?
Hello @alanclw6024. There is a website with handouts - the link is on the channel banner. However I have just realised it is broken. Please email me directly for the handouts you require londonbuddhistvideos@gmail.com. I will also let you know when the website is back up and running. With Metta
maybe I'm missing something obvious here but isn't nirvana conditioned also? just as everything is caused by prior events isn't achieving nirvanas condition that you make steps to achieve it, that your in a position to do so, and that you learned about it at all? or as I write this wonder if maybe achieving nirvana is conditioned but experiencing the state itself once achieved is non conditioned from that point on. but his example of paper more suggests to me its about how the state of object or thing got to place its in. any people have any insights?
minutes later his example to me says its about the state itself once experiencing it not how you get to that place
Hello Ryza. I will forward your query to a learned monk. Please send me your email address to londonbuddhistvideos@gmail.com
Nibbana is the only phenomenal that's permanent because it's not created nor can it be destroyed by cause and effect
NIbbanna means ceasing or blowing out. Since the cause ceases, the effect ceases. NIbanna is asankhara. The end of the flux of arising and passing away, the end of dukkha.
@@nahanng7791 Nope, you can neither say nibanna is permanent nor impermanent beause its asankhara. There is no more arising and vanishing. The Buddha clearly said that sabbe dhamma anatta. All phenomenas (both sankhara :the mind and the body and asankhara: nibbanna) are devoid of the permanent unchanging atman nature. The mind and the body only exist in a flux of appearing and disappearing meanwhile the nibanna is the ceasing of that flux. That's it. There is no permanent atman nature in both sankhara and asankhara.
anyone have access to the paperwork he is using?
Hello @looonity. yardotv.wixsite.com/londonbuddhist/abhidhamma-handouts. Here is the link to the handouts which is also in the channel description.

Does anyone know what text he is referencing?
Hello Sara K. He is referencing Buddha’s First Sermon, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. This means ‘turning of the wheel of dhamma”
Here is a link to an article about this sermon. It is published in Tricycle Magazine and written by the preeminent author and teacher Dr Walpole Rahula tricycle.org/magazine/the-first-sermon-of-the-buddha/
Richard also references Dr Rahula’s seminal book ‘What the Buddha Taught’.
