    Great speech; especially at the end. "Mediation alone doesn't change your life. Mediation along with understanding and practicing the Four Noble Truths will help change life." Thank you !

      It does though. By sitting in dimple, Zazen. Zen Buddhist mefitation. Allowing mind to drop away. Helps at least while you do it. The teachings help too. But deep down we allready know lifes, ultimately, painfull, dissatisfaction, ect. The main thing is to sit. Medidate for at least 2 or 3 hours a day. Thats how i stay ok. But only just. As my lifes incredibly difficult. I have virtually nothing and nobody.. Exactly.

    I sure love when someone who understands the real teachings steps up with strength, confidence, and isn't afraid to shake people up. Because the core teachings aren't about feel good imaginary escape meditations. It is the real bravery of tapping in to the core root of our pain, and the path to wake up from the dream and illusion we have created our whole life to be, which merely drives our every move unconsciously. It is taking radical accountability for the wars, death, and plague humanity has brought upon itself blindly over and over again and will continue to do until we pulverise each other and our planet into oblivion...unless we step up and take responsibility for our projections.
    if you like this guy then you would like Rodney smith. very similar vibe and real teachings that slap you to your core

    So if that's the case, then doesn't it means that we were already enlightened, or close to being enlighten when we were a kid? I mean, we act carelessly about how we want other people to look at us, we just want to have fun, want to do what we want, want to be ourselves, we don't care about acting up or wanting someone to think us as something that is admirable, we just make everything simple, when we were a kid. At least that's how I am when I was, now, I do want people to look at me as something I am not.

    • @TreblemakerandGoomba
      @TreblemakerandGoomba 9 років тому +1

      kids arent enlightened because they cant control their mental states as they are still classifying and experiencing them and comparing them. but there is a same primordial awareness that is similar between the mind of a young one and an enlightened one. mostly like when youre a kid youre just experiencing things all the time that are just forms that people name and your born into a simulation kind of deal. enlightened person has the ability to discern forms, names, mental states, etc, while retaining that similarity to child mind. it is that that spacious awareness of a child is broken down and tightened by ego and fear

    • @LeoHuynhWolf

      Evan Rabinowitz
      So we were already closer to being enlightened as a kid, than when we grow up, then. Proves how wrong society is.

    • @RobertF-
      @RobertF- 8 років тому

      +Leo Huynh That's interesting. But kids have temper tantrums and stuff like that. The Buddhist idea of enlightenment involves not being overwhelmed with emotion and not becoming furious or miserable. There are similarities but also differences between Buddhism and childhood. There's a phrase I really like, it's "Be childlike, but don't be childish."

    • @LeoHuynhWolf
      @LeoHuynhWolf 8 років тому

      Robert F
      Well, in other words, kids are the purest state(closer) that most people can ever reach Enlightenment. Unless of course they started to study and follow the 4 Noble Truths 'till the end, like them Shaolin monks.

    • @RobertF-
      @RobertF- 8 років тому +1

      Definitely, Kids are in the purest state compared to adults. But kids are emotionally volatile and immature, and Buddhism is about being mature and calm no matter what happens. That's the ideal of Buddhism anyway, I don't understand it fully, I just know a little. Buddhism seems to be trying to point a way to the best of both worlds, the purity of a child but the wisdom and strength of the sage. Like that quote of Jesus saying "Be innocent as doves, but as wise as serpents." It seems to be a common theme to find a balance of best of both world qualities.

  • @citizenOfNowhere777
    @citizenOfNowhere777 8 років тому +1

    What I don't like about Buddhism is that it ignores the causation (of outside factors) by failing to address it while placing one's suffering on the person only. It is like you feel screwed not because your supervisor screwed you under the nose of your management but because you feel it.

    Personally, I didn't need any religious teaching to have the same analysis and reach the sane conclusion.

  • @PersonWConscience
    @PersonWConscience 7 років тому

    The. kind of thinking that suffering is created by yourself completely undermines the innocent victims of war, unjust economic systems in the world, the people subjugated by caste system for thousand of years, to name a few.

  • @pleepxwb
    @pleepxwb 6 років тому

    he missed out on an important condition which is personalizing the emotions as ourselves. it is due to personalizing things to be us or ours that creates the subjective self. there is a reason the buddha explained all 12 conditions and not just 3.

    It is not necessary to accept the illogical and compassionless individialism of this take on Buddhism. Individualisation and psychologisation may suit neoliberal capitalism, but it is void of compassion for those suffering the distress it causes.

    At the 8 minute mark of this video, Dr. Neale does what all Liberals do.......................gets political. His mention of "Fox News" completely turned me off from watching the rest of this video. He didn't mention CNN..................no, it had to be Fox News. This is supposed to be about the teachings of the Buddha...............not a Liberal "rant".
