Asangoham, My hats off to you sir. I stumbled on your channel a while ago, and ever since I have been absolutely astounded by the quality of your videos. The information you provide is clear, concise and correct. Most of all I am impressed with the fact that you include so many different angles whenever you discuss a topic, comparing things with various traditions such as the comparison to Western philosophy in this video. Not to mention that you were so alert to include a largely unrecognised female genius when you were discussing intellectual heroes. You're a man to my heart! We both seem to share a deep interest in philosophy and comparative religion, I bow to you from the Netherlands. Thank you for doing all this work, videos like these truly pave the way to a more peaceful, happier tomorrow. I wish everyone on earth would come to terms with each other and worship the ultimate nature of reality in its infinite manifestations. Your channel helps to do just that. Have a great day :) PS: If there's any way I could do a small one-time donation, please let me know. I'd be very happy to.
Thank you! We appreciate you for having the heart to think of donating. As of now, the UA-cam ad revenue is sufficient for us, but if you want to donate, kindly do so at your local orphanage or any other place that needs it more than us. We must do everything we can to minimize collective suffering. 🙏
Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful channel. It's scarce to find both high quality video, and high quality teachings. I am very grateful 🙏 I once heard Bodhisattva described as having one foot in the divine, but instead of taking the other step they come back to help other souls also find there ways to the devine. They come back knowing that they will experience all of the Earhly imperfections, and suffering but they have so much compassion for their fellow humans that they just can't help but stay and help others. They really are true heroes, and they go through life without most people realizing that they are the very best types of heroes.
Thank you for this, from the depth of me, thank you. Last night, I dreamed a woman telling me that I have a calling. Specifically it involved bringing flowers to the cemetery where I live like I had promised when I moved to this new neighborhood about a month ago, because the living are not the only ones who need blessings and guidance from suffering, they deceased do too, especially as they transition. But I woke up feeling different and then I stumbled on this video.... This video reminds me of the beginning of my journey when I awakened to physically see suffering in people, it is like a strong invisible glow, and hard to explain. It happened when I was trying to heal myself that I simultaneously awakened to a love and to be a witness to the suffering of others. For years now, I absorb their suffering, from strangers, from loved ones, animals, and plants, ones who have passed; sometimes it's a lot and because I do not take anything in exchange, pursuing only my grad degree in education to work as a teacher, all this clarity feels confusing at times. But this video, because I cannot tangibly reach out to anyone who understands, who can respond with actual human conversation, was a reminder of the Bodhisattva vows that I found early on in my journey. I was not initiated by any monk or guru, but I just placed those vows in my heart. And even the Tibetan and mention of Vajrayana Buddhism, is a nod to my next step to study the Tibetan language as someone who works to preserve endangered languages. So yes, thank you for these affirmations, I am so glad you guide me through these channels, continue to guide me through other ones as well ;)

That’s a beautiful sentiment and thought. Am I wrong to say also scary? I realize that just means I have a ways to go in the way of peace inside myself. What do you think?
I just wanted to comment and say thank you for sharing this information. I appreciate it greatly because I’ve been trying to practice Buddhism in the last 3 years and this helps me become a better more grounded person. Thank you for letting me share
Thank you for creating this video. I had a discussion with a friend just yesterday to explain that I “know nothing” and she didn’t understand what I meant by it when we were discussing about life, knowledge, and more, even though I am a constant observer and learner of life like a “human google” but if I said I knew everything, that I would assert ego which is not who I am living and being in samadhi aka self-realization (in Hinduism) or concentration (in Buddhism) for quite some time. After completing my second sitting In Vipassana two days ago, this hits home. I shared this with my friend. 🙏❤️💯🕉️☯️☮️💟
Within that emptiness or nothingness, you will find absolute fulfillment of everything you have ever wanted. Kind of the strangest oxymoron in the Universe. But the deeper one can meditate and more one can shave away those ideas that are super imposed on the mind, the clearer this becomes and the more one wants that which can only be found, once you remove everything you think you are or have
The key ingredient that was left out of this beautiful video was that of awareness.... In emptiness one realizes the fullness of awareness, and from this awareness in turn arises the great compassion. All three go together. Awareness Emptiness Awareness Compassion Awareness is the connecting bridge between the question of how one goes from emptiness to compassion. Though in reality, they are all three- One. Realization shows this truth to the bodhisattva. 🕉
Suffering comes from over identifying with pain not the continuum of consciousness. Happiness is those who perceive perception , not nothing , but something, to perceive creation as it happens and be happy. Zen .
This is lovely; thank you for your offering. I feel it's important to point out something though ... the concept of a Bodhisattva is found throughout Mahayana Buddhism, not just in Tibetan Buddhism.
I've always been helping others all me life and I always will. People take that for granted and use you but I still help. Evil people you have to learn to just keep away .
Zen teaches that enlightenment is no special achievement, I think this view is best, feeling you are special for being enlightened seems to simply be the deepest spiritual trap

I don’t think empty and full are used in a opposite terms in Buddhism. Emptiness just means things on a technical level things are without inherent form but rather dependent origination gives them form
Emptiness = Everything is Leshavidya, Nirvana with remains. Full Nirvana is Eternal, Bliss, Self, Pure. It is not nothingness. It is wondrous Buddha-Dharma.

Buddha did not teach that there is no Self. Neither did he teach that there is an eternal and separate Self. The Emptiness teaching is easily misunderstood. If you grasp the snake by the wrong end you are bound to be bitten.
Buddha in Lankavatara Sutra states, “Things are not what they seem… Deeds exist, but no doer can be found” Buddha taught no self. Three turnings of the dharma buddha didn’t teach all his disciples deeper truths until they were grounded in the more simple ones. If you grab the snake from the wrong end you are bound to be bitten.
@@bigmoneymoose4644 yes and also when questioned whether there is no self the Buddha replies, "That is not what I have taught." "Then there is a self?" Again, "That is not what ai have taught." Buddha was very emphatic about skillful means in knowing when and how to deliver which teaching to which student, so as not to confuse or disturb them. The Buddha's teaching is really practical and directly about ending suffering, all these developments of Nagarjuna, Mahayana and Vajrayana are extensions from his teaching. Very beautiful paths, though derivative, and not exactly the focus of Buddha himself. The parable of the arrow. If a person is struck by an arrow they need treatment, not lengthy discourse on the subtle nature of arrows. Anatman/Sunyata is a very subtle teaching. I cant say that I am fully living in it. But I have found that getting too stuck on "it is this way," or "it is that way," will usually keep me from the deep peace which is being pointed to, in the middle path between all extremes. Be well!
Modern eastern society is as materialistic as the west. Ancient Western philosophy took eastern philosophy further. Realizing what the East realized, the West accepted their material body. Learning to master the material universe. Call it an illusion, but it is real to us. We can learn how to create with in this reality. That is the Path of Christ. Not to reduce to nothingness where we came from. But to rise to his Father the Creator with in the nothingness
"Modern eastern society is as materialistic as the west." Thats due to the infiltration of capitalism. First it infected the west and now the east. Both are victims. Infact it's our primal nature to satisfy desires. But what the east teaches is to transcend them. To transcend and train the mind to see the illusory nature of the world while being in the world. That doesn't mean to escape the matrix and go to a mountain. Infact, ancient eastern philosophy encourages us to be in the world and work for the betterment of others. But before that, to work on oneself. There are many ways to it.
Cleary, studying philosophy,science, mathematics is more satisfying than all this spiritual nonsense. Aristotle understood about the nature of reality more than Buddha and all those people called Bodhisattva in Buddhist tradition. You can't just understand about the nature of reality by sitting under a tree and closing your eyes.
Well me friend, I've been studying philosophy for the past 6 years ( not as a student but more because I'm passionate ) I discovered Zen 2 years ago and I practiced and studied it because as a philosophy fanboy I was simply curious about it. Then I discovered Tibetan Buddhism more recently and there's one thing astonishing. It completes so well what philosophers have said in the past. Even better, it talks about stuff that we ( today ) put in quantum physics. So I'm not sure that Boddhisatvas did understand nothing. Tho, though my studies ( cause I'm passionate and just curious about it ), I can tell they have found some fundamental stuff that are quite amazing. Oh and one thing sir to be sure you don't misunderstand Who is the one you said not to be able to sit under a tree meditate and discover anything... He first was a prince of India who got the best teachers the king could find him, he was quite talented at anything he'd do whatever the subject ( he even was trained for war, which is fun in a way knowing how his preaching went way after ). Then he studied with all Yogis he crossed path with being more talented than any of them since he's always been talented as *uck 😂, practiced extreme asceticism such as eating only one grain of rice for a year ( I may say something wrong, I think it was 3 years ) and after all that, decided he'd either die under the tree or find the truth. That is how dedicated this man was to understand how things and reality works to help all beings to get out of suffering. I personally don't think any philosopher of any time, have been as much dedicated as Siddartha Gautama ( the Bouddha ) was. And with all the respect I have for every philosophers I've read, I can say they've all done tremendously well compared to the majority of the people of their time and helped humanity a whole big lot. But what Buddha did, surely is so much more than they did. Now Imma watch the bideo to find out what made you so mad in what they said 😂
Well, I now understand why you made such comment. If I were to be a person discovering bouddhism with such kind of video, I'd just think Bouddhism is just non-sense. _First point, the author of the video has still a long way to go to understand what he's talking about in the video ( he has understood a part, which is great, but from the way he tells the tale, it's still one part, which is great ). _Second point, for a newcomer, that is way too much. Words that would need books to be understood are just thrown like that. This is clearly a video that only someone who as already been studying would be interested into watching. _Last and third point, explanations are a bit chaotic even for the one who study and practice 😂 So please, if you may reconsider your view about buddhism and find out by yourself if this is a philosophy ( not a religion, it has never been one ) worth your time. To be completely honest with you, teaching bouddhism can only be done by lamas which would be equivalent to say : to be taught philosophy or quantum physics, the teacher must be certified and be a fully accomplished student even before engaging into the path that would give the authorization to teach. That was all for me, thanks for reading ( if you did :3 / if not, that was still a pleasant conversation to have with myself hell yeah 😂😂😂 )
Himanshu Khichar, a limited mindset who has shutted his mind in his self made comfort zone and doesn't want to believe in the fact that there can be something outside his knowledge and experiences. The world doesn't revolve around your mortal opinions Himanshu. Truth hurts.
If you want to change the external world, science is the way to go. If you want to change the internal world and find peace, which is not something changing the external world can ever give you, Buddhism is THE way. One questions what the meaning of life should be. Is it to build bigger and better skyscrapers to raise people into the sky while their internal state plummets into suicidal depression? Suicide rate is rising 4% year over year.

@@bigmoneymoose4644 yes and also when questioned whether there is no self the Buddha replies, "That is not what I have taught." "Then there is a self?" Again, "That is not what ai have taught." Buddha was very emphatic about skillful means in knowing when and how to deliver which teaching to which student, so as not to confuse or disturb them. The Buddha's teaching is really practical and directly about ending suffering, all these developments of Nagarjuna, Mahayana and Vajrayana are extensions from his teaching. Very beautiful paths, though derivative, and not exactly the focus of Buddha himself. The parable of the arrow. If a person is struck by an arrow they need treatment, not lengthy discourse on the subtle nature of arrows.
Anatman/Sunyata is a very subtle teaching. I cant say that I am fully living in it. But I have found that getting too stuck on "it is this way," or "it is that way," will usually keep me from the deep peace which is being pointed to, in the middle path between all extremes.
Be well!
If you are right, then we are both wrong.
@@bigmoneymoose4644 somethin like that
Modern eastern society is as materialistic as the west.
Ancient Western philosophy took eastern philosophy further. Realizing what the East realized, the West accepted their material body. Learning to master the material universe.
Call it an illusion, but it is real to us. We can learn how to create with in this reality.
That is the Path of Christ. Not to reduce to nothingness where we came from. But to rise to his Father the Creator with in the nothingness
"Modern eastern society is as materialistic as the west." Thats due to the infiltration of capitalism. First it infected the west and now the east. Both are victims. Infact it's our primal nature to satisfy desires. But what the east teaches is to transcend them. To transcend and train the mind to see the illusory nature of the world while being in the world.
That doesn't mean to escape the matrix and go to a mountain. Infact, ancient eastern philosophy encourages us to be in the world and work for the betterment of others. But before that, to work on oneself. There are many ways to it.
Miss-taking the finger for the moon with this materialism..

Asagoham. Your wrong it doesn't mean nothingness.
The “nothingness”, out of which all things emerge.
😜
But you are like a vacuum how can you be empty forever?
nothingness is not emptiness
Lmao

Cleary, studying philosophy,science, mathematics is more satisfying than all this spiritual nonsense. Aristotle understood about the nature of reality more than Buddha and all those people called Bodhisattva in Buddhist tradition. You can't just understand about the nature of reality by sitting under a tree and closing your eyes.
Clearly, that's your limited biased opinion. And most people who watch such videos don't feel that way.
Well me friend, I've been studying philosophy for the past 6 years ( not as a student but more because I'm passionate )
I discovered Zen 2 years ago and I practiced and studied it because as a philosophy fanboy I was simply curious about it.
Then I discovered Tibetan Buddhism more recently and there's one thing astonishing.
It completes so well what philosophers have said in the past. Even better, it talks about stuff that we ( today ) put in quantum physics.
So I'm not sure that Boddhisatvas did understand nothing. Tho, though my studies ( cause I'm passionate and just curious about it ), I can tell they have found some fundamental stuff that are quite amazing.
Oh and one thing sir to be sure you don't misunderstand Who is the one you said not to be able to sit under a tree meditate and discover anything...
He first was a prince of India who got the best teachers the king could find him, he was quite talented at anything he'd do whatever the subject ( he even was trained for war, which is fun in a way knowing how his preaching went way after ).
Then he studied with all Yogis he crossed path with being more talented than any of them since he's always been talented as *uck 😂, practiced extreme asceticism such as eating only one grain of rice for a year ( I may say something wrong, I think it was 3 years ) and after all that, decided he'd either die under the tree or find the truth.
That is how dedicated this man was to understand how things and reality works to help all beings to get out of suffering.
I personally don't think any philosopher of any time, have been as much dedicated as Siddartha Gautama ( the Bouddha ) was.
And with all the respect I have for every philosophers I've read, I can say they've all done tremendously well compared to the majority of the people of their time and helped humanity a whole big lot.
But what Buddha did, surely is so much more than they did.
Now Imma watch the bideo to find out what made you so mad in what they said 😂
Well, I now understand why you made such comment.
If I were to be a person discovering bouddhism with such kind of video, I'd just think Bouddhism is just non-sense.
_First point, the author of the video has still a long way to go to understand what he's talking about in the video ( he has understood a part, which is great, but from the way he tells the tale, it's still one part, which is great ).
_Second point, for a newcomer, that is way too much. Words that would need books to be understood are just thrown like that. This is clearly a video that only someone who as already been studying would be interested into watching.
_Last and third point, explanations are a bit chaotic even for the one who study and practice 😂
So please, if you may reconsider your view about buddhism and find out by yourself if this is a philosophy ( not a religion, it has never been one ) worth your time.
To be completely honest with you, teaching bouddhism can only be done by lamas which would be equivalent to say : to be taught philosophy or quantum physics, the teacher must be certified and be a fully accomplished student even before engaging into the path that would give the authorization to teach.
That was all for me, thanks for reading ( if you did :3 / if not, that was still a pleasant conversation to have with myself hell yeah 😂😂😂 )
Himanshu Khichar, a limited mindset who has shutted his mind in his self made comfort zone and doesn't want to believe in the fact that there can be something outside his knowledge and experiences. The world doesn't revolve around your mortal opinions Himanshu. Truth hurts.
If you want to change the external world, science is the way to go. If you want to change the internal world and find peace, which is not something changing the external world can ever give you, Buddhism is THE way. One questions what the meaning of life should be. Is it to build bigger and better skyscrapers to raise people into the sky while their internal state plummets into suicidal depression? Suicide rate is rising 4% year over year.
