I play your video every night and my heart fills with much love and gratitude. Sometimes tears of joy. All I want to listen to everyday is Buddha. His words like beautiful music to my soul. I feel important for me to share my story and will try and keep this short. . . I was adopted by my maternal grandfather in 60's. A child without knowing my roots, life felt like a mystery. I was born as a result of two young crossed lovers and bio-dad joined the service. I reconnected to my bio parents in 2017~ bio dad is a self medicated alcoholic. Bio-mom a recovering drug addict. Met my 4 half siblings when I was 18 but we have not kept contact. For the most part, I lived a clean sober life. I felt much of life I was facing War in the family blood and around the world. Bio-dad's family - from Europe in the 1800's ... They're Protestants Bio-mom's family - Catholics These two religions can't tolerate each other and it's very, very sad. Not to mention my long nationality. I feel Buddha has always been in my life ~ cleansing family karma was a big and necessary process ~ and now, I'm ready for the next level. Thank you so much for all you do. 🎉❤ May you be in wellness. May you be in happiness and peace today and every day. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🪷🌸🕊️🙏
The world is burned by ignorance,hatred,and unlimited desire, we need to spread the messages of Buddha’s teachings of wisdom,loving kindness, self satisfaction and enlightenment
Well said! 🙏 The world is indeed often consumed by ignorance, hatred, and unchecked desire. Buddha’s teachings offer a way to rise above these flames through wisdom, loving-kindness, and contentment. By spreading these messages, we can help create a more compassionate and enlightened world, one step at a time. Let’s keep sharing this light with others! 🌿💛
I haven't cried in a long time and haven't cried for so long ever. Tears of joy and nothing else. I can never thank you enough for this wonderful journey.
I am deeply thankful to my best friend for introducing me to Dhamma, and I express my gratitude to Guruji for giving me the gift of Vipassana. Sabb Mangalam Bhavatu (May all beings be happy) Mangal Ho, Mangal Ho
Do you see god as coming from within or “out there”? I kind of grew up Catholic and always seen god as being outside of myself and located somewhere else
I think im sick a deep depression has eaten me alive for years Ive tryed budhism but i just cant truly comprehend the 3rd truth... I cannot be enlightened or happy untill i do so
A marvelous narration that brought a tear of joy and sorrow at the same time. Most of us see the truth yet we are unable to grasp or fully understand that the root of all suffering is everything we glorify and seek in our materialistic life cycles. Pleasure and materialistic happiness has taken over the ultimate truth and eternal happiness. Thanking the amazing and wonderful narrarator Carrie Grossman. A bow to you with clasped hands in much respect. For every time this story makes someone humble enough to contemplate in end of suffering, and every time someone admire and develope respect for Lord Buddha, for every time a person feel Maithree, Karuna and Muditha, may you Carrie Grossman be blessed with abundance of Kusal that will help you attain Nirawana. Thunuruwange Sararani.
I am a 21st Century Grandmother. It's certainly not the world I was born into. But, being able to stomble upon this audio in vocal detail brought a surge of happiness, of wellness, of peace, of renewed joy☮️ especially as I was so so sad to find my 10 year old grandbaby has "C"....🎗️ I after this narriation had a huge change of ❤️. Mucho Gracias Carrie♾️👯 know you carry the Key. Love Granny Derr 🌱🐛
Discovering the Buddha and his message really saved my life. I was raised as a Baptist but had grown despondent because the religion made no sense to me.
@@nrrbull One of the things I like about Buddhism is the Buddha admonished his followers to question everything he said and to ignore any part that didn't make sense. He was obviously secure in his message he was teaching. Show me any other religion that says something like that?
Lack of knowledge destroyed my people. Bible verse that tells you that ignorance and not understanding doesn't mean your off the hook. Christianity is clear as day to the one who studies and finds the truth.
Buddha's teaching is full of Humanity, the suppream state of Mankind as well as 'His' teaching is for happiness of all beings of the Univers. Thanks for Your valuable post. This will help to all of us.
Carrie, you are an exceptionally talented narrator. The way you tell a story, at just the perfect pitch and speed, wonderfully enhanced with music and sound effects is just enchanting. You could make a career out of this; I, and I’m sure many others, would be happy to pay for more narrated stories like this one and your magical version of Wind in the Willows on Insight Timer.
The buddha's path is middle path.that is right understanding,right thought,right speach,right action,right livelihood,right effort,right mindfulnes and ,right mental cocentration.
Thank you Carrie, for telling this beautiful story with your beautiful voice. The only problem is that I was never able to listen it to the end - it’s so soothing I always sleep :)
Carrie, I have become a big fan of yours after listening to your beautiful voice over for "The Life of Buddha." You have an amazing voice and you made the story come alive. I'm a huge fan of Buddha (for not being a god to many, but for being a great human being) who could renunciate everything with strong will and mind. I listen to this audio once a week at least. This makes me feel so light, makes me meditate and sometimes I play this and sleep. Such a relaxing and soothing narration with a beautiful voice over. Every word in there, every sound during narration carries very high positive energy and passes it to anyone who listens to, and every time they listen to. Thanks for this beautiful contribution of yours for narrating the story of a "Real HERO" with such dedication. Not everyone can leave pleasures, not for longer times and one who could do such thing as far as I know is the one and only "Gauthama Buddha." Big applause to the music team too and very big thanks to you :)
Your narrations are absolutely beautiful and wonderful! Please, please, please consider narrating other stories-- your voice is an absolute pleasure to the senses! Thank you ❤️
I found your channel when I was so depressing with what I have learned from this world. And I find some peace listening to your calming voice and the story that roots deeply in my soul....but with a poetic version.
We are Blessed to see these programmes with English translations. Buddha was born in India to Hindu parents. Theres a similarly between the two, Hinduism and Buddhism. Buddha was a philosopher, he was intelligent and had an abundance of common sense. His ability to look deep within to understand who we are and ultimately find the truth about life - identity of who we are and what we are - the beginning of suffering caused by birth and rebirth, expressed in these videos beautifully. 🙏
Love it so much.... 🙏🏻 Can't thank you enough. ❤️ Love from Burma/Myanmar where the hell is since Feb 1 Coup and now from 10 July Covid Delta with thousands of dead bodies everywhere everyday because of lack of oxygen. 😔😔
It is a great suffering for me for I fell in love with your voice by listening to this. It is so soothing and I am so absorbed by the story. Thank you for sharing
The true test is how you handle adversity and violence and conflict. That’s the true test of a Buddha. It is VERY hard b/c our human nature has it engrained inside ourself. The trick is to embrace it and let it go and pass through your minds eye and go back to peacefullness
Such a beautiful gift to listen to you craft the story, to see the images you choose, and to experience the flourishes of sound while my imagination pictures the life of the Buddha. Thank you.
Thank you so much Carrie. I deeply enjoy your narration. I've divided the story and I hear it by pieces; much better than watching a random netflix series. 😊😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your voice is very soothing, and your narration of the story of the Buddha is very pleasing. Thank you. Please make more videos, particularly Buddhist jataka tales, they are very beautiful. My sincere request. _/\_. May all beings be happy.
So many among us were taught from the cradle that feelings are the enemy. And there's nothing wrong with them at all. And that's the truth. Believe it or not believe it, it is unchanging. You can't doubt it out of existence, and you can't doubt God out of existence. so much for atheism.
On a certain level, we have Buddha in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the Buddha can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the Buddha can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.
I keep thinking that ,knowing how the natural world works,& stuying ALL of history informs me deep knowledge of life & death,studying spiritual concepts are fine also,but there is so many to choose from,in my case,where to begin ??
Your narration is wonderful , If you use many of the pictures relating your speches or narration then it would be more attructive. Thanks a lot for this wonderfull about a great " Man " , " Buddha ".
@@garykline9234 Thank you for your kind words. You can find the story here: www.sacred-texts.com/bud/lob/index.htm. I adapted it and condensed the first part to create this version - but the whole thing is beautiful and so inspiring to read. I hope you enjoy it.

@@mattverville9227 if it is clear to you, then I am glad you found a path you can walk. It simply isn't clear like that to me, whereas Buddhism is.

The minute I heard this narrator I was hooked. Thank you
@@carriegmusic Amazing narration!
But also consider this a service to humankind that bears great karnic merits.
Ok
May we all be free from suffering and rebirth.
To live is to suffer.
To die is to perish.
To survive is to find meaning in suffering.
Was that life ?
I want to say to death.
Well then!
@@satnamo is that all you desire? I think there is more to life than that. We experience it all while we are on this journey of life
