The Buddha teaches rebirth, not reincarnation. Reincarnation implies a stable soul or self. The buddha's teaching about "no self" make reincarnation impossible. after you die, you are dead, but there is a karmic continuation. Re-birth in the Buddhadharma is moment to moment.
This guy misunderstood the term "no self" as Buddha taught. Maybe he focused too much on himself. A little effort to research the correct meaning is better than to be lazy and display that ignorance for the world to see.
Can't blame him because he believes in Christianity. The Buddha said IGNORANCE is the root cause of the 3 poisons: delusion, greed and aversion. So true.
Buddhism theres NO God, what does a god have to do with human emotions. No fortune tellers, No Prophets, No resentment words like infidel, Pagan, Gentile, No telling non believers that there going to hell if you do not believe in Buddha !!!! We believe in cause and effect and cause and condition self afflicted KARMA by oneself through the natural phenomen of one’s own DEEDS. No self, Soul which is the Ego I,Me, Mine, that cause mind suffering, resentment, anger, hatred and war.
As i understand it, Buddhists are not saying that you can't love your family, be with your family, and cherish your family. All the text is saying is that you should not let your family become the main source of your happiness, that should come from within.
@@thomaswashington2127 his name is Siddhartha Gautama. He left his family because he was looking for the cessation of suffering. So he became anesthetic. After a while he realized the middle way. He returned home. Spoke with his family, his son became a monk. Soon after his wife and adoptive mother also became nuns. He returned home when his father was passing away as well. He never stopped caring about his family. What he advocate is for was non-attachment. In fact he loved his family so much he did not hold the grudge against his cousin who tried to assassinate him three times. I'm aware of the history.
Buddhists say the world God created is an illusion. To not rejoice and gives thanks to the glory of God our LORD and saviour but to turn away, deny all desire, even the desire to be close to God, deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God. To turn inward for salvation, to turn away from God and his love for us. It breaks my heart how many people are deceived by Buddhism.

The Buddha's Words on Kindness (Metta Sutta) This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech. Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied. Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful, Not proud and demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in saftey, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born, May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings: Radiating kindness over the entire world Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.
I respect to all religions.... because I'm a Buddhist.SUPREME BUDDHA TAUGHT US TO RESPECT ALL RELIGIONS.THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUDDHISM AND OTHER RELIGIONS.
As a Christian I respect Buddhism. Out of respect and love and care for all Buddhists--and as a former buddhist--, you're wrong; pick up a bible and learn the truth, which is Jesus. Buddha was a lie because he claimed to dispense truth. Buddha died to food poisoning and was cremated. Jesus came back alive. Out of respect for Buddhists, you're wrong and lost.

Hello! I completely agree, my compassion, kindness, understanding and overall life has changed, especially when taking into account that I am the cause of all of my own suffering.. by letting go and being fully present I am a better person, Mom, Wife ect, I know Christ shines through and in me, and I feel safe and secure in knowing all of this.
Jesus taught to love your enemy. Bhudda abandoned his family to seek out enlightenment. There's no comparison. Bhudda died knowing nothing Jesus rose from the dead to be the answer to death. You wouldn't even know what it means to be christlike...to be a good person...if it wasn't for Jesus.
@@TheGuiltsOfUs Hmmmm…..there is no hocus pocus in Buddhism. Rather causes + conditions = outcomes. In Christian terms: a Tree will be known by the fruit that it bears. This is the starting point for Buddhism and there is no magic in this other than the magic which is inherent in all of life and which is present now for us all as well. So Compassion and Love are not tricks or magic but are at the very essence of our lives. Peace is in every step we take. 🙏
Although as a Muslim I think Buddhism is a good religion as instead of trying to give a answer to a cosmic equation that we'll probably never get the a answer to it seems to teach that for every reaction there's as opposite reaction. Good deed carry you in life life well bad deeds destroy your viewpoint on morality. Plus I haven't seen nor head now talked to god so I can't say he exists. Lots of people will probably call me out but if you haven't seen god you than you shouldn't follow everything blindly.
I think this guy did a pretty excellent job explaining Buddhism from a Christian perspective. However, I disagree that Buddhism teaches that everything bad that happens to us is our bad karma. The Buddha clearly denies this in the Samyutta Nikaya scirpture: “Master Buddha, there are some spiritual figures and religious leaders who hold such a doctrine and view as this: ‘Whatever a person experiences, whether it be pleasant or painful or neither, all that is caused by what was done in the past.’ What does Master Buddha say about this?” “Some feelings, Sivaka, arise here originating from bile disorders...phlegm disorders ... wind disorders ... from an imbalance of the three ... produced by change of climate ... produced by careless behavior ... caused by assault ... produced as the result of karma: that some feelings arise here produced as the result of karma one can know for oneself, and that is considered to be true in the world…Therefore I say that this view of karma is wrong on the part of those spiritual figures and religious leaders.” -Samyutta Nikaya, page 1,279 Also, most Buddhists don't believe that spiritual liberation is a state of non-existence. In the majority of Theravada Buddhists, they believe that nirvana is a state of aggregates that are permanent, rather than consisting of the impermanent aggregates that are in samsara. Only a minority of Theravada Buddhists believe that nirvana is an annihilation of life. And then the Mahayana Buddhists believe that a liberated person should be a bodhisattva--someone who keeps being reborn in samsara but as a spiritually liberated figure that helps others reach salvation.
I'm a theravada buddhist and Buddhism is taught as a class in school ( in every grade). What we believe is that niravana is a form of non-existence. Although, there maybe other theravada buddhist from other countries that have different interpretations of nirvana.
@@YukiiReads what country are you from? I think too that the two camps of Theravada either are more influenced by the sarvastivada or sautrantika Buddhist schools. The sarvastivada believed nirvana is more blissful while the saitrantika believed nirvana is non-existence.

One teaches the Spirit of Discernment, the other teaches you just need to feel right within.

I had a near death experience when I had my oldest son and I had cancer but I'm free from it, five years on. TWICE God has healed me and brought me back to life. Your body might be dead, but your soul will always wander. I was looking down at my body from the ceiling before entering my body again.
Thanks god that made you near death and healed you back to life. (why don't you realize that good and bad things are parts of your life. They are natural)
Testimonials like yours are available in all religions, including Buddhism. I have heard of people who are cured after practicing Vipassana Meditation too. It simply proved Karma and not any God's power. If it's God, why didn't God prevent people from having such sicknesses in the first place?
To my understanding of Buddhism Let go of anger, resentment, egoism, clinging to material things, harmful speech excetera excetera so you can live a happier life in the past present and future
I think it's selfish to want to avoid suffering. I think as humans, suffering is the most important thing we can endure. But suffering for Christ is true joy because Jesus suffered for our sake, and so too we are to suffer until the world is made new. Buddhism to me seems like the easy way out because true love requires sacrifice and freewill and SUFFERING. Buddhism is teaching you to behave like a robot so you don't feel pain. Buddhism is impersonal and it is NONSENSE! No literally. It is the belief in nonsense.
@@danielanderson6933 don't lie or misquote what the Buddha taught, I wonder from where you learn such thing. BTW, if Christians are really happy, why so many pastors committed suicide? Heard of Jarrid Wilson?
One of the biggest things people do which is idiotic is they think because a religion is from a different part of the world it isn't relevant in their lives, but remember christianity came from the middle east as well as judaism and islam, and also if something is true it is universally true regardless of what part of the world it is native to. It is insanely ignorant to act as though the religion that is most prevalent in the area you live in just happens to the be the correct one that argument doesn't hold any ground. Also preconceived beliefs do not justify something being true. Buddhism addresses the issues that people go through, Christianity doesn't even attempt to address it, it just tells you to let Jesus and or Yahweh to take care of it. I spent 17 years from birth in extremist christianity, I offered myself before the lord that I accepted at that time, I rejected the lust of the flesh and I never received the holy spirit and I never felt connected to god or even drawn to him, I studied the bible all of that time and it never gave me anything I need in life. Buddhism has, and I always look for videos like that and not once has anyone ever given me a good reason to seek christianity. If I am bound for hell I will seek Nirvana and teaching how to achieve it to the damned and demons alike, none are doomed for eternity no matter where a god places me and nothing can take away the ability to find eternal bliss. And I would never want the christian heaven because if it is filled with christians I wouldn't be happy in a place like that with that many ignorant people for eternity.
It's due to their Karma and ignorance. I always share these 10 points to save them: These 10 points that proved Christianity’s source, origin, practice and purpose are irrefutable. The last 2 points proved their religion is really useless too: 1) A CREATOR god if true should be the first religion but the pagans, Greek, Chinese, Hinduism religions existed earlier and why didn't this all mighty god prevent other religions? 2) Why should an almighty and all knowing God allow their people to branch off and kill their parent religion Judaism or Zoroastruism and later allowed Islam to be created and had holy wars/crusades with them? "Free will" is not an excuse since they claimed their God killed all people with a big flood earlier. 3) Bible stories similar with older pagans, Greek, Egyptian or Hinduism religions(note the names too) E.g. Adam/Eve with Atman/Jiva a pair of birds, big flood and survivor Noah/3 sons with Manu/3 daughters, Abraham/Sarah with Brahma/Saraswathi, Moses with Krishna etc, all similar stories. 4) Jesus stories similar with Buddha: Maya and Mary, miracle birth and virgin birth, birth during a journey home and birth from home, prophesied after birth, had a disciple who betrayed them, walked on water stories, Gautama left the palace at age 29 and Jesus appeared at 29, Gautama became Buddha at 35 and Jesus died and resurrected at about 35 too, Buddha had a big meal while Jesus had a last supper before they died, 500 monks return from faraway to witness Buddha's cremation and later 500 Arahants witnessed compilation of Buddha's teachings and over 500 witnesses to Jesus's resurrection, Buddha sacrificed his future kingdom and family while Jesus sacrificed his life, there will be a future Buddha and Jesus will return, the Trinity is same meaning as in the 3 bodies of the Buddha etc. All coincidental? Beside Buddha, Jesus copied from Horus too. Surely they can't be ALL coincidental. 5) There was no record of Jesus in the Roman ACTA and scientists twice said the claimed shroud of Turin was from the Medieval Age and not 2000 years ago. Excuse made that scientists did not do a good job but when they asked for it to be examined again, the church rejected it. 6) Tricky tithings method. They know people will be shy not to pay or tend to pay more when others could be watching. So they intentionally collect money during mass and don't use a box like Buddhism, Hinduism or Chinese temples where people can donate anytime. Catholics and Islam even made it bigger by suggesting a certain percentage from their income. 7) Bad teachings, eg by saying Jesus turned water into wine, story of incest of a father who sexed with her 2 daughters, story of Jacob who married a young girl which Islam copied later, encouraging hatred eg in Mark's words 16:16, breaking up family in Matthew 10:21 - 42 and Luke's 19:27, and so many other violence etc. 9) Words like "Lord" "Father" "serve God" etc are tricky to make followers obedient or feel like slaves and be submissive to them. Words like God "love you" "forgive" "sins" to trick gullible people but true compassion wasn't taught. Hatred and violence are very much encouraged as the Bible said God killed many people compared to Satan who killed only a few. 9) Pastors who committed suicide or killed eg Jarrid Wilson, Jim Howard, Andrew Stoecklein, Gene Jacobs, "Bubba" Copeland, Phillip Loveday etc, 10) Incidents like Covid-19 when all top 50 highest fatality rate countries are all high Christian population countries, AirAsia plane crash of 2014 when 2 Korean missionaries, their child and over 40 church members from Indonesia all died, etc.
What is the greatest enemy of enlightenment? "Fear." "And where does fear come from?" "Delusion." "And what is delusion?" "To think that the diverse flowers around, that does not think like you nor look like you, are poisonous snakes." "How shall I attain to enlightenment?" "Open your eyes and see." "What?" "That there isn't a single snake around."

The tone was somewhat condescending, but the overall presentation of Buddhism is surprisingly okay, compared to other videos from evangelical leaders. Your presentation of karma is wrong though, and the critique apologists typically use (saying a sick child brought it on themselves) is a misconception. Karma does not explain EVERY thing that happens to you (there are five orders of conditions, karma is one of them, biology is another one that would explain sickness much better).
@@thomaswashington2127 that's my reading of the Sivaka Sutta SN36.21. Of course you'll find controversy in Buddhism around it and different views. Buddhism is not monolithic. But that's an interpretation (not every single cause and effect is due to past actions) that helps addressing the cognitive dissonance around the fact the Buddha "died" of food poisoning.
I consider myself a Christian but I absolutely think that the tone in your voice while you were explaining Buddhism was pretty condescending . You made it look clownish kind of like a lot of people do with Christianity . With our giant boats and fish swallowing people . But like everybody say's nowadays , you do you .
Bible scriptures on slavery However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

According to Buddhism, you are considered blessed or having good Karma from the past if you come across Buddhism but whether you are good enough to accept, learn or practice Buddhism will depends on your present Karma which you choose, no one can decide for you.

I have a question. Why are you dating a Buddhist? Jesus said if you love me you will prove it by keeping. my commandments. Which means to remain sexually pure until marriage. You are probably not a Christian and not aware of it. Happens a lot. Try this my friend read the New testament of the Bible. It’s tough, if you can’t do it, then try just reading the Gospel of John and Romans. That explain everything.
@@robertsherman7445 this was a year or so ago. We eventually broke up. I am indeed a Christian, it's rather rude to make such assumptions. We never had sex, for one. Also, I'm aware of the bible verse about being unequally yoked, and she actually agreed to become Christian. Ultimately, one of the issues was actually that I didn't know if it was genuine or not, so I've even made a new rule that I'll only date someone who already is born again and knows god's word well enough to have it a part of their life. I've read parts of both books, and likely know huge chunks of it. I appreciate the good intentions, but I merely request that you don't make rude assumptions about people you've never met.
I think they are the same thing, I mean Jesus visited India and brought Eastern religion to the middle east. The Christian texts have just been manipulated so much over the centuries that they are unrecognizable from what they originally were.
There's no evidence for that; even apocryphals don't mention anything similar. Mediterranean culture has its own version of 'Buddhism,' which is Gnosticism. Jesus could have been a naturally self-enlightened person who experienced God. If you look at Jesus' teachings from a nondual perspective, it makes a lot sense.
Whoever wins the war, says his religion is greatest 😂,buddha taught us to stop looking for god, focus on yourself.and very first thing there is no god in buddhism,not even buddha himself. this is best thing in buddhism.
I think Buddha's advice of the following is even better: “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
No. Yoga is not religion. Buddha Dharma is a part of Hinduism. Dharmas don't have conversions, rather have spiritual evolutions. The creation or the world is about happiness. It is given. However, we do suffer. Buddha deals only with this part - suffering. Dharma is not Religion: Dharmas (Bauddha, Vaishnav, Shaiva, Jain, Tantra, Sikh, etc.) are about seeking truth ‘Satya’ and disciplines of inner progress ‘Yoga.’ Dharmas overlap, learn from each other, and don’t fight. Hinduism is the collection of all the Dharmas evolved in our region. It is a geographical definition, not doctrinal. The central theme of Dharmas is inner and outer Peace. Dharmas are different spiritual paths \ margas \ ways \ disciplines. It is up to an individual to be interested or practice any, all, or none. Religions (Christianity, Islam, Communism, Fascism, etc.) are brainwashing systems for social control. Each claims exclusive truth, all others evil, and assumes divine right and duty to attack others. Violence is the central theme. Religions are sets of doctrines to believe and sets of commandments to obey, without any questions. This is militarization of society which is the totalitarian control of individuals leading to 'we vs. they', 'we are superior', ‘misogyny’, and 'violence.’
That's an absolute falsehood. Yeshua Ben Yosef had some good moral teachings for his time, but he was ultimately a teacher of false doctrines based on fear and the worship of himself as the avatar of a storm/war god from southern Levant. The Tathagata himself defeated false doctrines in countless debates and emerged undefeated, as did many of the great teachers. Buddhists *should* (respectfully) debate Christians, Muslims, and other holders of false doctrines. Too many Western Buddhists are weak in this regard.

@@thisulwickramarachchi2380 Hello! Sorry for the late response; I am just seeing this now. To answer your question of why there’s so much suffering in this world, we must come to terms with human nature. In the beginning, we were destined for eternity; however, through the disobedience of man, sin came to be and corrupted the earth. Because sin entered, no longer do we acquire the good God given system. The reason for suffering is because of mankind, the reason for illnesses, corruption, and evil is because of man. Our sin has separated us from God. It is because of our separation from him that there is suffering. But in order to be united with Him again, God gave Jesus Christ, who was the “lamb” that was sacrificed to atone for it. He died but conquered death. When he returns to establish His throne, he will restore his original plan, which is everlasting life; a place where there will be no sin, death, corruption; the former things will pass away. One needs to accept and put their faith in Christ, then you will become born-again. I can also say the same thing for Christianity having all the answers. One just needs to seek the truth and expand their knowledge, so I am glad that is what you are doing. I am also doing the same by learning about other beliefs. In Christianity we also have the answer to suffering (which is caused through sin), how to solve it, why we exist, and how to attain everlasting life; an answer to defeat death. Jesus Christ comes to redeem and free you from sin; to give you a new life, hope, and prosperity. If there are some areas you are still confused about, please ask, I’d be happy to discuss :)

I'm not going to watch this whole thing, I know he will just botch Buddhism. If you care to integrate the two, which is totally possible as truth comes in many languages, Buddhism says it is the desires we have that get us into trouble which the bible also says - do not covet, lay aside inordinate affection. But I know, its much cooler to just say my way is the only way.
This not too bad a synopsis of Buddhism in general. He concludes that the main point about Buddhism Is that Buddhists don't necessarily beleive in an almighty God. So I think the main thing he has against Buddhism Is that he was not born as one. If he had been he would probably give a good Dhamma talk😁🙏☸
There is no hope of a happy life in Buddhism, Jesus offers the better life, the plans he has for us is to have a hope and future and healing, Buddhism fails to offer hope beyond death.
Remember All these ism are a lie,Jesus is truth,end of story,it's either Heaven or Hell while your here.Jesus is our only hope.Sin is the cancer,........
A close friend of mine who is "born again" told me that Jesus said, "you are with me, or against me" to which i replied, "i don't think i could ever trust with the whole of my life a "God" who was a Godfather in the Mafia. of course, he took great offence and told me i would go to hell for such blasphemy. at hearing this, i was tranquil enough to say, "so be it, if according to you"
So sorry a "Christian" said this to you. It sounds like they have missed some things taught in the Bible. Nowhere does it say in the Bible that anyone is going to the hell of fire for a particular sin. The only thing close to that is Jesus' teaching about blaspheming against the Holy Spirit as being unforgivable. The Biblical view is that we are all separated from our creator God due to our nature; that alone has destined us for the firey hell, which we are told (in New Testament) is not a place God made for people, but for the evil one, Satan and his followers, referring to the spirit beings who followed him. I think of it as like we boarded a train with a horrific destination, and Jesus has made a way for getting off that train and onto a train headed to him, as the final destination. However, interestingly, babies and young children who die do seem to go to heaven where Jesus is. What we also know from the Bible is that God looks on people's hearts. Truly those who seek their creator find him. So Jesus told people, knock, and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you; seek and keep seeking and you will find. He also said God is a spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. God is also a father who wants a relationship with each of us; he loves each of us. Jesus claimed he alone was the way to his Father. Was Jesus a good teacher or was he a liar or was he crazy? Was Jesus who he claimed to be?
@@calliegal235 Thank you for your comment. My friend is born again, and a strict fundamentalist. As well, he does not like it that I am Buddhist.

I have no problem with anyone believing how they want but in a relationship it is important to me that the other person has the same basic belief. One religion believes in 1 creator everlasting. The other doesn't. Just saying that it a major difference
Christianity always said their God gave them freedom, so why don't you learn more about Buddhism and decide which is more useful to you and whether you should convert to Buddhism or not?
when you blindly believe in some of the religions only brings you suffering, no matter which religion, you still have to see a doctor when you are sick or get Covid.
For follow my thought thoughts on Buddhism are the fact that Buddha state that everything is your choice.know one is born good or bad. Just choice. Lots of people say Buddhism is aethissm without understanding that buddha never said god exists or not he just said open your eyes.
Buddha's attitude to prayer is that if there was a god who answers prayers then surely we would all get what we wanted. This is impossible as we would come into conflict with those with opposing needs.
In the gospels Jesus mentions that we will not get what we want, but what we need. The Abrahamic religions teach that everything that happens is part of the will of God and accepting that demonstrates obedience.

So they intentionally collect money during mass and don't use a box like Buddhism, Hinduism or Chinese temples where people can donate anytime. Catholics and Islam even made it bigger by suggesting a certain percentage from their income. 7) Bad teachings, eg by saying Jesus turned water into wine, story of incest of a father who sexed with her 2 daughters, story of Jacob who married a young girl which Islam copied later, encouraging hatred eg in Mark's words 16:16, breaking up family in Matthew 10:21 - 42 and Luke's 19:27, and so many other violence etc. 9) Words like "Lord" "Father" "serve God" etc are tricky to make followers obedient or feel like slaves and be submissive to them. Words like God "love you" "forgive" "sins" to trick gullible people but true compassion wasn't taught.

Buddhism isn't a religion. You can be a Christian and a Buddhist. You can be an Athiest and a Buddhist. The pastor even acknowledges that he didn't have enough time to explain a religion... yet he still tried to explain Buddhism knowing he was actually explaining it very well.

People are putting an limit on everything. Which is not letting them reach there higher slefs. You can believe anything you want.but don't put your beliefs on people without facts. This guy is saying you should not believe this because it's not true without facts but saying what he's saying Without facts is true
No, faith is NOT believing without evidence. God created us as rational beings. Biblical faith is not a leap in the dark. There is plenty of evidence for the God of the Bible and that what the Bible teaches is true. Your ability to think about what I am saying, your ability to see these words with the miracle of sight are just two examples. Do you think that just happened? Anything designed demands a Designer. To the sincere soul who seeks the One who created all things, I promise you, He will respond to the genuine seeking heart. It will not happen overnight, but as you continue to seek Him and read His Word, the Bible, He WILL unfold the truth to you. I did this 50+ years ago, and I promise you, it is true. Also some books that will help: Evidence That Demands a Verdict and I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist are great for starters.
Buddha Wisdom of Enlightment will exist forever in the truth of the Dharma, and in the practice of the Dharama. He who sees merely my body does not truly see me. Only he who accepts my teaching truly sees me the Buddha.
In Buddhism God is not the center of religion, man is the center of religion. As fedrich nietzche says "God is dead, man has to take responsibility to himself and evolve ubermench/buddhahood.
The book by Stephen Hicks called Nietzsche and the Nazis does a lot to reveal what Nietzsche's philosophy leads to. Hicks is an atheist, objectivist and a philosopher. It's worth listening to.
@@truth8307 why not pray to Yeshua for a year and ask him to open your eyes, ears, and heart? Come back in a year and tell me about the Bible. The bible says if you seek Him with all your heart He will reveal himself to you. If God exists wouldn't you want to know Him?
Look at the way his suffering trying to figure all this out … God has made different religions to suit different aspirations, times, and countries. All doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God Himself." All religions are like the spokes of a wheel that all end in the same center. Consequently, it does not matter which religion one belongs to in the end. When we stop merely professing our allegiance to our own faith and start actually practicing it, we begin to uncover the central truth at the heart of all religious life..

Pastor. I am disappointed that you had to tell your congregation that the picture you put up was George Lucas. Lol. I would start a church split based on that. Lol... joking. Adding this to a post on my site regarding Buddhism.
The Buddha wasn't worried about truth or followers. So he encouraged people to investigate. The only places where investigation is discouraged is where truth isn't found.
Buddhism isn't a religon It's philosophy.. only wiser ,dedicated people can understand this and end all suffering. Lord buddha is just one who ended all suffering and he told us the way to end suffering . "I'm a science student but buddhism is beyond science. "
I agree with the Buddhist theories. When I hear a character like you speak, I am further alienated from Christianity. You surely say alot, without saying anything at all. Why don't you leave others alone?
During the Kuomingtang Northern Expedition Christian war lord Feng Yuxiang 1882-1948 destroyed Buddhist assets on a large scale, forcing monasteries to disrobe and join the Army. Temple properties were confiscated and turned into school, shelters, and even entertaining the houses. This was another disastrous episodes for Buddhism in the China Buddhist do not judge anyone they just see an evil warlord that harms innocent people.

@@robhogate2312 eastern religions are eastern, if by og ppl you mean Africa great, just because ancestors of the west adopted it from original ppl or middle easterners doesn't mean it wasn't, makes sense. Also majority of western thought and whatnot was forced on east, ppl used to do that in India as well, we all are aware of that but its worth saying to you maybe, some of it is decent but overall meh, lots of fluff and poison, overwhelmingly really, we all acknowledge it from time to time how trash western civilization is but for one it a generalization, and two who has time to unpack sooo much garbage, and three westerners take it very personal the truth in that is less important than pride in how it looks on the surface
I see we have a lot of bhuddist here which is cool. I have a question for you guys. How do you know that bhudda existed when we have no real evidence for the existence of a historical bhudda like we have of jesus? And on top of that the earliest texts of gautama comes centuries after his death so how do you know you can trust those writings that you have?
This is a good question but simply put Buddhism is not a faith that you rely on history for proof, or books for proof and therefore it is true. In Buddhism you practice and see the Truth for yourself. You are not relying on the books or even the Buddha. Rather you see reality “as it is” for yourself. This is important. Indeed, the Buddha basically said do not rely on something I have said or what others have said I have said, do not discard common sense. Make yourself the Light make the Dharma or the Truth of Life your Light. For me Buddhism is essentially saying to all people of all faiths it is nice to have the sacred texts but it is much better to be a living embodiment of those texts in everything that you do. 🙏
Proof is not needed. Buddhism is an idea and a goal. Whether or not Siddhartha Gautama existed or not is less important than the ideas conveyed by such a figure. In the diamond sutra for instance: "Moreover, Subhuti, when bodhisattvas practice generosity, they do not rely on any object-any form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or object of mind to practice generosity. That, Subhuti, is the spirit in which bodhisattvas practice generosity, not relying on signs." This is true even of the Buddah as a figure itself. Whether or not Siddhartha Gautama is historical or not, be generous for instance.

Can't blame him because he believes in Christianity. The Buddha said IGNORANCE is the root cause of the 3 poisons: delusion, greed and aversion. So true.

To not rejoice and gives thanks to the glory of God our LORD and saviour but to turn away, deny all desire, even the desire to be close to God, deny Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

The Buddha's Words on Kindness (Metta Sutta) This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech. Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied. Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful, Not proud and demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in saftey, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born, May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings: Radiating kindness over the entire world Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.

Jesus taught to love your enemy. Bhudda abandoned his family to seek out enlightenment. There's no comparison. Bhudda died knowing nothing Jesus rose from the dead to be the answer to death. You wouldn't even know what it means to be christlike...to be a good person...if it wasn't for Jesus.

So Compassion and Love are not tricks or magic but are at the very essence of our lives. Peace is in every step we take.

Although as a Muslim I think Buddhism is a good religion as instead of trying to give a answer to a cosmic equation that we'll probably never get the a answer to it seems to teach that for every reaction there's as opposite reaction. Good deed carry you in life life well bad deeds destroy your viewpoint on morality. Plus I haven't seen nor head now talked to god so I can't say he exists.

@@magicalchemicaldaddy695 I could see a lil
I think this guy did a pretty excellent job explaining Buddhism from a Christian perspective. However, I disagree that Buddhism teaches that everything bad that happens to us is our bad karma. The Buddha clearly denies this in the Samyutta Nikaya scirpture:
“Master Buddha, there are some spiritual figures and religious leaders who hold such a doctrine and view as this: ‘Whatever a person experiences, whether it be pleasant or painful or neither, all that is caused by what was done in the past.’ What does Master Buddha say about this?”
“Some feelings, Sivaka, arise here originating from bile disorders...phlegm disorders ... wind disorders ... from an imbalance of the three ... produced by change of climate ... produced by careless behavior ... caused by assault ... produced as the result of karma: that some feelings arise here produced as the result of karma one can know for oneself, and that is considered to be true in the world…Therefore I say that this view of karma is wrong on the part of those spiritual figures and religious leaders.”
-Samyutta Nikaya, page 1,279
Also, most Buddhists don't believe that spiritual liberation is a state of non-existence. In the majority of Theravada Buddhists, they believe that nirvana is a state of aggregates that are permanent, rather than consisting of the impermanent aggregates that are in samsara. Only a minority of Theravada Buddhists believe that nirvana is an annihilation of life. And then the Mahayana Buddhists believe that a liberated person should be a bodhisattva--someone who keeps being reborn in samsara but as a spiritually liberated figure that helps others reach salvation.
I'm a theravada buddhist and Buddhism is taught as a class in school ( in every grade). What we believe is that niravana is a form of non-existence. Although, there maybe other theravada buddhist from other countries that have different interpretations of nirvana.
@@YukiiReads what country are you from? I think too that the two camps of Theravada either are more influenced by the sarvastivada or sautrantika Buddhist schools. The sarvastivada believed nirvana is more blissful while the saitrantika believed nirvana is non-existence.

One teaches the Spirit of Discernment, the other teaches you just need to feel right within. Discernment is the only way to find the truth within the huge display of worldviews we are presented with, and it follows that the religion that puts the most emphasis on discernment is the truth, because it's such a crucial teaching.
I had a near death experience when I had my oldest son and I had cancer but I'm free from it, five years on. TWICE God has healed me and brought me back to life. Your body might be dead, but your soul will always wander. I was looking down at my body from the ceiling before entering my body again.
Thanks god that made you near death and healed you back to life.
(why don't you realize that good and bad things are parts of your life. They are natural)
Testimonials like yours are available in all religions, including Buddhism. I have heard of people who are cured after practicing Vipassana Meditation too. It simply proved Karma and not any God's power. If it's God, why didn't God prevent people from having such sicknesses in the first place?
To my understanding of Buddhism Let go of anger, resentment, egoism, clinging to material things, harmful speech excetera excetera so you can live a happier life in the past present and future
I think it's selfish to want to avoid suffering. I think as humans, suffering is the most important thing we can endure. But suffering for Christ is true joy because Jesus suffered for our sake, and so too we are to suffer until the world is made new.
Buddhism to me seems like the easy way out because true love requires sacrifice and freewill and SUFFERING. Buddhism is teaching you to behave like a robot so you don't feel pain. Buddhism is impersonal and it is NONSENSE! No literally. It is the belief in nonsense.
@@danielanderson6933 don't lie or misquote what the Buddha taught, I wonder from where you learn such thing. BTW, if Christians are really happy, why so many pastors committed suicide? Heard of Jarrid Wilson?
One of the biggest things people do which is idiotic is they think because a religion is from a different part of the world it isn't relevant in their lives, but remember christianity came from the middle east as well as judaism and islam, and also if something is true it is universally true regardless of what part of the world it is native to. It is insanely ignorant to act as though the religion that is most prevalent in the area you live in just happens to the be the correct one that argument doesn't hold any ground. Also preconceived beliefs do not justify something being true. Buddhism addresses the issues that people go through, Christianity doesn't even attempt to address it, it just tells you to let Jesus and or Yahweh to take care of it. I spent 17 years from birth in extremist christianity, I offered myself before the lord that I accepted at that time, I rejected the lust of the flesh and I never received the holy spirit and I never felt connected to god or even drawn to him, I studied the bible all of that time and it never gave me anything I need in life. Buddhism has, and I always look for videos like that and not once has anyone ever given me a good reason to seek christianity. If I am bound for hell I will seek Nirvana and teaching how to achieve it to the damned and demons alike, none are doomed for eternity no matter where a god places me and nothing can take away the ability to find eternal bliss. And I would never want the christian heaven because if it is filled with christians I wouldn't be happy in a place like that with that many ignorant people for eternity.
It's due to their Karma and ignorance. I always share these 10 points to save them:
These 10 points that proved Christianity’s source, origin, practice and purpose are irrefutable. The last 2 points proved their religion is really useless too:
1) A CREATOR god if true should be the first religion but the pagans, Greek, Chinese, Hinduism religions existed earlier and why didn't this all mighty god prevent other religions?
2) Why should an almighty and all knowing God allow their people to branch off and kill their parent religion Judaism or Zoroastruism and later allowed Islam to be created and had holy wars/crusades with them? "Free will" is not an excuse since they claimed their God killed all people with a big flood earlier.
3) Bible stories similar with older pagans, Greek, Egyptian or Hinduism religions(note the names too) E.g. Adam/Eve with Atman/Jiva a pair of birds, big flood and survivor Noah/3 sons with Manu/3 daughters, Abraham/Sarah with Brahma/Saraswathi, Moses with Krishna etc, all similar stories.
4) Jesus stories similar with Buddha: Maya and Mary, miracle birth and virgin birth, birth during a journey home and birth from home, prophesied after birth, had a disciple who betrayed them, walked on water stories, Gautama left the palace at age 29 and Jesus appeared at 29, Gautama became Buddha at 35 and Jesus died and resurrected at about 35 too, Buddha had a big meal while Jesus had a last supper before they died, 500 monks return from faraway to witness Buddha's cremation and later 500 Arahants witnessed compilation of Buddha's teachings and over 500 witnesses to Jesus's resurrection, Buddha sacrificed his future kingdom and family while Jesus sacrificed his life, there will be a future Buddha and Jesus will return, the Trinity is same meaning as in the 3 bodies of the Buddha etc. All coincidental? Beside Buddha, Jesus copied from Horus too. Surely they can't be ALL coincidental.
5) There was no record of Jesus in the Roman ACTA and scientists twice said the claimed shroud of Turin was from the Medieval Age and not 2000 years ago. Excuse made that scientists did not do a good job but when they asked for it to be examined again, the church rejected it.
6) Tricky tithings method. They know people will be shy not to pay or tend to pay more when others could be watching. So they intentionally collect money during mass and don't use a box like Buddhism, Hinduism or Chinese temples where people can donate anytime. Catholics and Islam even made it bigger by suggesting a certain percentage from their income.
7) Bad teachings, eg by saying Jesus turned water into wine, story of incest of a father who sexed with her 2 daughters, story of Jacob who married a young girl which Islam copied later, encouraging hatred eg in Mark's words 16:16, breaking up family in Matthew 10:21 - 42 and Luke's 19:27, and so many other violence etc.
9) Words like "Lord" "Father" "serve God" etc are tricky to make followers obedient or feel like slaves and be submissive to them. Words like God "love you" "forgive" "sins" to trick gullible people but true compassion wasn't taught. Hatred and violence are very much encouraged as the Bible said God killed many people compared to Satan who killed only a few.
9) Pastors who committed suicide or killed eg Jarrid Wilson, Jim Howard, Andrew Stoecklein, Gene Jacobs, "Bubba" Copeland, Phillip Loveday etc,
10) Incidents like Covid-19 when all top 50 highest fatality rate countries are all high Christian population countries, AirAsia plane crash of 2014 when 2 Korean missionaries, their child and over 40 church members from Indonesia all died, etc.

@@thomaswashington2127you are wrong. Go and attend a good Vipassana Meditation course like Goenka's and you can experience Nirwana.
The tone was somewhat condescending, but the overall presentation of Buddhism is surprisingly okay, compared to other videos from evangelical leaders.
Your presentation of karma is wrong though, and the critique apologists typically use (saying a sick child brought it on themselves) is a misconception. Karma does not explain EVERY thing that happens to you (there are five orders of conditions, karma is one of them, biology is another one that would explain sickness much better).
Right right...and which text taught you that?
@@thomaswashington2127 that's my reading of the Sivaka Sutta SN36.21. Of course you'll find controversy in Buddhism around it and different views. Buddhism is not monolithic.
But that's an interpretation (not every single cause and effect is due to past actions) that helps addressing the cognitive dissonance around the fact the Buddha "died" of food poisoning.
He is also wrong on rebirth. According to Buddhism, a person can't be reborn to be a small living thing like a butterfly or spider.
I consider myself a Christian but I absolutely think that the tone in your voice while you were explaining Buddhism was pretty condescending . You made it look clownish kind of like a lot of people do with Christianity . With our giant boats and fish swallowing people . But like everybody say's nowadays , you do you .
Bible scriptures on slavery However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land.

You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

True ...

>he thinks it's possible to stop existing (according to Buddha). Also love, or compassion, emerges spontaneously when you realize your true nature. The point is to do things because of love, not because of fear. Once you start seeing beauty in everything, you stop caring about Nirvana (and the final answer is that Nirvana and Samsara are the same thing, seen from different perspectives)
Buddha is in Hell, and burning
According to Buddhism, you are considered blessed or having good Karma from the past if you come across Buddhism but whether you are good enough to accept, learn or practice Buddhism will depends on your present Karma which you choose, no one can decide for you.

@@robertsherman7445 this was a year or so ago. We eventually broke up. I am indeed a Christian, it's rather rude to make such assumptions. We never had sex, for one. Also, I'm aware of the bible verse about being unequally yoked, and she actually agreed to become Christian. Ultimately, one of the issues was actually that I didn't know if it was genuine or not, so I've even made a new rule that I'll only date someone who already is born again and knows god's word well enough to have it a part of their life. I've read parts of both books, and likely know huge chunks of it. I appreciate the good intentions, but I merely request that you don't make rude assumptions about people you've never met.
I think they are the same thing, I mean Jesus visited India and brought Eastern religion to the middle east. The Christian texts have just been manipulated so much over the centuries that they are unrecognizable from what they originally were.
There's no evidence for that; even apocryphals don't mention anything similar. Mediterranean culture has its own version of 'Buddhism,' which is Gnosticism. Jesus could have been a naturally self-enlightened person who experienced God. If you look at Jesus' teachings from a nondual perspective, it makes a lot sense.

Whoever wins the war, says his religion is greatest 😂,buddha taught us to stop looking for god, focus on yourself.and very first thing there is no god in buddhism,not even buddha himself. this is best thing in buddhism.
I think Buddha's advice of the following is even better:
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
No. Yoga is not religion.
Buddha Dharma is a part of Hinduism.
Dharmas don't have conversions, rather have spiritual evolutions.
The creation or the world is about happiness. It is given. However, we do suffer. Buddha deals only with this part - suffering.
Dharma is not Religion:
Dharmas (Bauddha, Vaishnav, Shaiva, Jain, Tantra, Sikh, etc.) are about seeking truth ‘Satya’ and disciplines of inner progress ‘Yoga.’ Dharmas overlap, learn from each other, and don’t fight. Hinduism is the collection of all the Dharmas evolved in our region. It is a geographical definition, not doctrinal. The central theme of Dharmas is inner and outer Peace. Dharmas are different spiritual paths \ margas \ ways \ disciplines. It is up to an individual to be interested or practice any, all, or none.
Religions (Christianity, Islam, Communism, Fascism, etc.) are brainwashing systems for social control. Each claims exclusive truth, all others evil, and assumes divine right and duty to attack others. Violence is the central theme. Religions are sets of doctrines to believe and sets of commandments to obey, without any questions. This is militarization of society which is the totalitarian control of individuals leading to 'we vs. they', 'we are superior', ‘misogyny’, and 'violence.’
Because Jesus followed Buddhist beliefs . And Buddhist doesn't argue with Christian
Are you a Buddhist? If so, may I ask who you believe Jesus was and how you came to that conclusion? I'm just really curious.
That's an absolute falsehood. Yeshua Ben Yosef had some good moral teachings for his time, but he was ultimately a teacher of false doctrines based on fear and the worship of himself as the avatar of a storm/war god from southern Levant. The Tathagata himself defeated false doctrines in countless debates and emerged undefeated, as did many of the great teachers. Buddhists *should* (respectfully) debate Christians, Muslims, and other holders of false doctrines.
Too many Western Buddhists are weak in this regard.
@@user27220 if some God created us all why did he put so much suffering in this world.... There r people who are poor, sick, sad there r many living beings who r suffering every single day..... But in Buddhism it has all the answers to the suffering in this world & why it exists & how we can release ourselves from suffering....
@@thisulwickramarachchi2380 Hello! Sorry for the late response; I am just seeing this now.
To answer your question of why there’s so much suffering in this world, we must come to terms with human nature. In the beginning, we were destined for eternity; however, through the disobedience of man, sin came to be and corrupted the earth. Because sin entered, no longer do we acquire the good God given system. The reason for suffering is because of mankind, the reason for illnesses, corruption, and evil is because of man. Our sin has separated us from God. It is because of our separation from him that there is suffering. But in order to be united with Him again, God gave Jesus Christ, who was the “lamb” that was sacrificed to atone for it. He died but conquered death. When he returns to establish His throne, he will restore his original plan, which is everlasting life; a place where there will be no sin, death, corruption; the former things will pass away. One needs to accept and put their faith in Christ, then you will become born-again.
I can also say the same thing for Christianity having all the answers. One just needs to seek the truth and expand their knowledge, so I am glad that is what you are doing. I am also doing the same by learning about other beliefs. In Christianity we also have the answer to suffering (which is caused through sin), how to solve it, why we exist, and how to attain everlasting life; an answer to defeat death.
Jesus Christ comes to redeem and free you from sin; to give you a new life, hope, and prosperity. If there are some areas you are still confused about, please ask, I’d be happy to discuss :)

I'm not going to watch this whole thing, I know he will just botch Buddhism. If you care to integrate the two, which is totally possible as truth comes in many languages, Buddhism says it is the desires we have that get us into trouble which the bible also says - do not covet, lay aside inordinate affection.

This not too bad a synopsis of Buddhism in general. He concludes that the main point about Buddhism Is that Buddhists don't necessarily beleive in an almighty God.

I always marvel how someone with no real experience, can speak at length, on something they truly know fuck all about!
Peter Kreeft PhD explains well in his book, Making Sense Out of Suffering. He takes the reader on a safe thought journey.
A close friend of mine who is "born again" told me that Jesus said, "you are with me, or against me" to which i replied, "i don't think i could ever trust with the whole of my life a "God" who was a Godfather in the Mafia. of course, he took great offence and told me i would go to hell for such blasphemy. at hearing this, i was tranquil enough to say, "so be it, if according to you"
So sorry a "Christian" said this to you. It sounds like they have missed some things taught in the Bible. Nowhere does it say in the Bible that anyone is going to the hell of fire for a particular sin. The only thing close to that is Jesus' teaching about blaspheming against the Holy Spirit as being unforgivable.
The Biblical view is that we are all separated from our creator God due to our nature; that alone has destined us for the firey hell, which we are told (in New Testament) is not a place God made for people, but for the evil one, Satan and his followers, referring to the spirit beings who followed him. I think of it as like we boarded a train with a horrific destination, and Jesus has made a way for getting off that train and onto a train headed to him, as the final destination.
However, interestingly, babies and young children who die do seem to go to heaven where Jesus is. What we also know from the Bible is that God looks on people's hearts. Truly those who seek their creator find him. So Jesus told people, knock, and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you; seek and keep seeking and you will find. He also said God is a spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
God is also a father who wants a relationship with each of us; he loves each of us.
Jesus claimed he alone was the way to his Father. Was Jesus a good teacher or was he a liar or was he crazy? Was Jesus who he claimed to be?
@@calliegal235 Thank you for your comment. My friend is born again, and a strict fundamentalist. As well, he does not like it that I am Buddhist. He's told me that my faith is not the one that would save me. And I have told him that I've been Buddhist for half my life and was both satisfied and happy. But always he'll remind me that for me Hell is waiting. I believe I may have told him that the God he believed in sounded like the Godfather. And perhaps I should not have been so frustrated, but I had had enough of the topic. I seldom discuss religion with anyone. I just practice my faith with devotion. But I don't proselytize, as he does.

@Deegayu Thanuj religion even to non regular goers to church is major issue in relationships. You literally can not truly believe in Christ and be with someone that doesn't. Even if you are not a holy roller every Sunday church goer. It just doesn't mix. This is what religious books mean by unequally yoked. I have no problem with anyone believing how they want but in a relationship it is important to me that the other person has the same basic belief. One religion believes in 1 creator everlasting. The other doesn't. Just saying that it a major difference
Christianity always said their God gave them freedom, so why don't you learn more about Buddhism and decide which is more useful to you and whether you should convert to Buddhism or not?
when you blindly believe in some of the religions only brings you suffering, no matter which religion, you still have to see a doctor when you are sick or get Covid.

4) Jesus stories similar with Buddha: Maya and Mary, miracle birth and virgin birth, birth during a journey home and birth from home, prophesied after birth, had a disciple who betrayed them, walked on water stories, Gautama left the palace at age 29 and Jesus appeared at 29, Gautama became Buddha at 35 and Jesus died and resurrected at about 35 too, Buddha had a big meal while Jesus had a last supper before they died, 500 monks return from faraway to witness Buddha's cremation and later 500 Arahants witnessed compilation of Buddha's teachings and over 500 witnesses to Jesus's resurrection, Buddha sacrificed his future kingdom and family while Jesus sacrificed his life, there will be a future Buddha and Jesus will return, the Trinity is same meaning as in the 3 bodies of the Buddha etc. All coincidental? Beside Buddha, Jesus copied from Horus too. Surely they can't be ALL coincidental.
5) There was no record of Jesus in the Roman ACTA and scientists twice said the claimed shroud of Turin was from the Medieval Age and not 2000 years ago. Excuse made that scientists did not do a good job but when they asked for it to be examined again, the church rejected it.
6) Tricky tithings method. They know people will be shy not to pay or tend to pay more when others could be watching. So they intentionally collect money during mass and don't use a box like Buddhism, Hinduism or Chinese temples where people can donate anytime. Catholics and Islam even made it bigger by suggesting a certain percentage from their income.
7) Bad teachings, eg by saying Jesus turned water into wine, story of incest of a father who sexed with her 2 daughters, story of Jacob who married a young girl which Islam copied later, encouraging hatred eg in Mark's words 16:16, breaking up family in Matthew 10:21 - 42 and Luke's 19:27, and so many other violence etc.
9) Words like "Lord" "Father" "serve God" etc are tricky to make followers obedient or feel like slaves and be submissive to them. Words like God "love you" "forgive" "sins" to trick gullible people but true compassion wasn't taught. Hatred and violence are very much encouraged as the Bible said God killed many people compared to Satan who killed only a few.
9) Pastors who committed suicide or killed eg Jarrid Wilson, Jim Howard, Andrew Stoecklein, Gene Jacobs, "Bubba" Copeland, Phillip Loveday etc,
10) Incidents like Covid-19 when all top 50 highest fatality rate countries are all high Christian population countries, AirAsia plane crash of 2014 when 2 Korean missionaries, their child and over 40 church members from Indonesia all died, etc.
All humans have Buddha nature !!!! All humans have the potential of becoming a Buddha 😃 .
The buddha did not even exist
Acts chapter 3 there is salvation in no onw elsw God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved
There is no fire like lust and no crime like hatred. There is no ill like the aggregates (of existence) and no bliss higher than the peace (of Nibbana). Buddha
Man this is dumb. Apologist rhetoric is the worst 😂
The word yoga means to be yoked. Stay from it.
its no correct. definition of Buddhism Video is disaster.
I suggest you read the Upanishads first.
Buddhism isn't a religion. You can be a Christian and a Buddhist. You can be an Athiest and a Buddhist. The pastor even acknowledges that he didn't have enough time to explain a religion... yet he still tried to explain Buddhism knowing he was actually explaining it very well.
Nonsense
Can’t the two be brought together? Can you not believe in God but strive for inner peace through meditation?
I am a Buddhist Minister myself and love Jesus.
People often have superficial view of Jesus but the more you understand Jesus the easier it is to realize his Greatness!
🙏😇
No offense but this community doesn't seem very cultured. From where I'm from, we have tons of Buddhists in my town. We also have tons of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Muslims, Judaism, etc. Also, again no offense to this church, sounds like we have tons more culture then this crowd (Koreans, Germans, Indians, Chinese, etc). You name it, we've got it in my town
That’s sad. I was actually just planning on watching citizen cane for the first time.
watch it anyway. it has far more to do with other subjects than Buddhism this man narrows it too,
@@mari-greciaodal2436 thanks! I’ll watch it then
@@binabina4445 Oh, you must, Bina! The film is just fantastic! And as has happened to me, I have watched it over and over and i know i will watch it again. I don't know what about it keeps drawing me to watch it. But, perhaps you will...if so, please tell me! and thank you, dear!
People are putting an limit on everything. Which is not letting them reach there higher slefs. You can believe anything you want.but don't put your beliefs on people without facts. This guy is saying you should not believe this because it's not true without facts but saying what he's saying Without facts is true
Because faith is believe without evidence.
No, faith is NOT believing without evidence. God created us as rational beings. Biblical faith is not a leap in the dark. There is plenty of evidence for the God of the Bible and that what the Bible teaches is true. Your ability to think about what I am saying, your ability to see these words with the miracle of sight are just two examples. Do you think that just happened? Anything designed demands a Designer. To the sincere soul who seeks the One who created all things, I promise you, He will respond to the genuine seeking heart. It will not happen overnight, but as you continue to seek Him and read His Word, the Bible, He WILL unfold the truth to you. I did this 50+ years ago, and I promise you, it is true. Also some books that will help: Evidence That Demands a Verdict and I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist are great for starters.
This person hasn't understood Buddhism
This dude gave Buddhism a fair shot...
Buddha Wisdom of Enlightment will exist forever in the truth of the Dharma, and in the practice of the Dharama. He who sees merely my body does not truly see me. Only he who accepts my teaching truly sees me the Buddha.
My kids love Star Wars
I just became a Buddhist.
Buddha teacher of Gods
God's wish they could become a Buddha
In Buddhism God is not the center of religion, man is the center of religion.
As fedrich nietzche says "God is dead, man has to take responsibility to himself and evolve ubermench/buddhahood.
The book by Stephen Hicks called Nietzsche and the Nazis does a lot to reveal what Nietzsche's philosophy leads to. Hicks is an atheist, objectivist and a philosopher. It's worth listening to.
@@CuriousCattery why not just read the Bible thoroughly and see what wrongs and bad teachings they taught?
@@truth8307 why not pray to Yeshua for a year and ask him to open your eyes, ears, and heart? Come back in a year and tell me about the Bible. The bible says if you seek Him with all your heart He will reveal himself to you. If God exists wouldn't you want to know Him?
Look at the way his suffering trying to figure all this out …
God has made different religions to suit different aspirations, times, and countries. All doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God Himself."
All religions are like the spokes of a wheel that all end in the same center.
Consequently, it does not matter which religion one belongs to in the end.
When we stop merely professing our allegiance to our own faith and start actually practicing it, we begin to uncover the central truth at the heart of all religious life..
Incorrect since they contradict eachother in truth. Christ is the truth.

These 10 points that proved Christianity’s source, origin, practice and purpose are irrefutable. The last 2 points proved their religion is really useless too:
1) A CREATOR god if true should be the first religion but the pagans, Greek, Chinese, Hinduism religions existed earlier and why didn't this all mighty god prevent other religions?
2) Why should an almighty and all knowing God allow their people to branch off and kill their parent religion Judaism or Zoroastruism and later allowed Islam to be created and had holy wars/crusades with them?

The Buddha wasn't worried about truth or followers. So he encouraged people to investigate. The only places where investigation is discouraged is where truth isn't found.
I hear what you're saying but would a good parent tell you to investigate an electric fence or to investigate heroin? To go play on a highway?
@@CuriousCatterydo you mean Christianity is an electric fence?
Buddhism isn't a religon It's philosophy.. only wiser ,dedicated people can understand this and end all suffering. Lord buddha is just one who ended all suffering and he told us the way to end suffering . "I'm a science student but buddhism is beyond science. "
The distinction between a religion and philosophy is a modern one.

I don't see why not.
During the Kuomingtang Northern Expedition Christian war lord Feng Yuxiang 1882-1948 destroyed Buddhist assets on a large scale, forcing monasteries to disrobe and join the Army. Temple properties were confiscated and turned into school, shelters, and even entertaining the houses. This was another disastrous episodes for Buddhism in the China Buddhist do not judge anyone they just see an evil warlord that harms innocent people.

You’re saying Christianity, Judaism and Islam are western religions, you’re wrong sir.
Western Eurasian
You're half right,yes they came from the east so true they are eastern religions anyone trying to denie that is clueless....but well Judeo Christianity is the religion of the west because it shaped and built the majority of it
@@robhogate2312 its not tho, it was adopted, not belonging to the west, adopted by the west. The west has no original thriving religion like the eastern religion am I correct?
@@jesterruth1238 whats not what????are you trying to claim that Judeo Christianity didn't build the majority of the modern western world????if so you'd be dead wrong....this is a way bigger situation then you appear to comprehend it as,but ill try to keep it direct and as short as possible
First,you're coming at the whole thing completely wrong,one the root of all religions goes long before ppl in the west and east and countries in general....two,every religion goes back to one spiritual truth and knowledge of God and events in the history of the world because we all come from the same ppl,then for a plethora of reasons ppl began to create their own religions....thats also the reason that pretty much all religions of the world have pieces that are the same,because the knowledge was still known from that singular point
your whole the west not having an "original thriving" religion yeah wrong....again like every religion of the world they had roots and a couple of pieces from that original knowledge,but ppl who ended up in the western areas created their own religions the same as the ppl that ended up in whats now China or India and so on
This whole "adopted by the west" thing is ridiculous for multiple reasons....one the teachings of Judeo Christianity always belonged to everybody of the world,its the knowledge that the original ppl had....it was also never a middle eastern thing anyway....Judaism is the following of the knowledge and laws by a tribe/descents of a family line which later other middle eastern tribes "adopted"....Judeo Christianity,yes the teacher was born in the middle east and of that original tribe's line,but his teachings never belonged to the middle east or middle easterners he taught to Greeks and Romans and he said that his followers were to carry the message to all of the ppl of the world....after his death his disciples went to other cities then countries to spread the word as their teacher told them to do
Summary,yes the following of the word and laws of Judaism and Christianity were first done in the middle east,but so what ppl also started in the middle east....the teachings were brought from the middle east to the west and far east and in short the rest of the world and ppl began to follow it,again so what all of culture from everywhere is rooted in the middle east because again the original ppl....western country have created and practiced their own religions just look at history for five seconds and you'll see that,to claim otherwise wise is ludicrous and pushed by ignorant ppl with agendas....also Christianity is the religion of the western world,because 1)the majority of religious practitioners follow it,2)the teachings and values of it are the foundation of the majority of the western world,3)again we all come from the same ppl and the teachings of Judaism and Christianity is the knowledge of the orginal ppl....you can use the phrasing of "adopted it" if you want,but it's actually ppl going back to the knowledge of their ancestors...also
the phrasing of "adopted by the west" tends to go hand in hand with a certain agenda,but even if it was something that was randomly pulled out of a middle easterners ass(like islam)and westerners decided they liked it better then their religions and "adopted" it so what????look at how much the near east,middle east and far east countries have adopted from the western countries and farther more who cares
So you're wrong....also you do realize that "the east" is just a term referring to multiple countries with multiple ppls and religions right????there is no "eastern religion" but multiple religions in the eastern countries,like there are multiple religions in the western countries
@@robhogate2312 eastern religions are eastern, if by og ppl you mean Africa great, just because ancestors of the west adopted it from original ppl or middle easterners doesn't mean it wasn't, makes sense. Also majority of western thought and whatnot was forced on east, ppl used to do that in India as well, we all are aware of that but its worth saying to you maybe, some of it is decent but overall meh, lots of fluff and poison, overwhelmingly really, we all acknowledge it from time to time how trash western civilization is but for one it a generalization, and two who has time to unpack sooo much garbage, and three westerners take it very personal the truth in that is less important than pride in how it looks on the surface

I see we have a lot of bhuddist here which is cool. I have a question for you guys. How do you know that bhudda existed when we have no real evidence for the existence of a historical bhudda like we have of jesus? And on top of that the earliest texts of gautama comes centuries after his death so how do you know you can trust those writings that you have?
This is a good question but simply put Buddhism is not a faith that you rely on history for proof, or books for proof and therefore it is true.
In Buddhism you practice and see the Truth for yourself. You are not relying on the books or even the Buddha. Rather you see reality “as it is” for yourself. This is important.
Indeed, the Buddha basically said do not rely on something I have said or what others have said I have said, do not discard common sense.
Make yourself the Light make the Dharma or the Truth of Life your Light.
For me Buddhism is essentially saying to all people of all faiths it is nice to have the sacred texts but it is much better to be a living embodiment of those texts in everything that you do.
🙏
Proof is not needed. Buddhism is an idea and a goal. Whether or not Siddhartha Gautama existed or not is less important than the ideas conveyed by such a figure. In the diamond sutra for instance:
"Moreover, Subhuti, when bodhisattvas practice generosity, they do not rely on any object-any form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or object of mind to practice generosity. That, Subhuti, is the spirit in which bodhisattvas practice generosity, not relying on signs."
This is true even of the Buddah as a figure itself. Whether or not Siddhartha Gautama is historical or not, be generous for instance.
