History of Buddhism (ASMR Bedtime Story)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2024
- In this ASMR/bedtime story video, I tell you about Buddhism: what society and beliefs were like in Ancient India, the life of Siddartha Gautama, how Buddhism spread in Asia, the differences between various traditions (what are Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Zen, Tibetan or Tantric Buddhism...), and a lot of terms are explained as simply as possible, like Vedas, Karma, Middle Way, Samsara, Tantra, Mantra....

Mugym ycmyy cmyffgg go my uniunuunuuuuuuuunuunuuuuuu
As a Buddhist i was so happy to see that someone had taken the time out of their life to give attention to something i see as important. A lot of people in my life make fun of me for my choice in religion, they say i'm weird or they just simply laugh. So in consideration of that idea i want to say thank you for making this video😊
I’m sorry to hear that people criticize you for your choice of religion. 😢 Spiritual practice is a deeply personal matter and it’s really none of their business, so try not to listen to them. I truly hope you are having a wonderful day and I wish you all the best🙏🏼
@@blochhead6793 Thank you, i hope you have a wonderful day as well. I wish you good fortune
As a Christian, I am thankful for the Buddhists in our world. They are people of deep faith, compassion and generosity, something that is commanded of Christians and attirbutes that are needed far more of in our society. I hope you realise that you are valued, and I wish you wellness and peace.
@@richardmartin8998 Thank you for your kind words. It takes a great respect to honor one of a different faith and say it out loud. I wish you the best in health,wealth, and luck. May you be protected my friend ^^
@@richardmartin8998Oh go away. You've hurt enough people in the name of god. Any god.
I practice meditation and have studied Buddhism as a lay person. I'm so happy you've decided to do this. I can't emphasis enough to everyone how much the Buddha actually uncovered about the human condition. Its not armchair philosophy, it actually is an applicable practice the Buddha discovered himself by choosing to find out what reality was directly via meditation and the cessation of the ego. His discovery of "no-self" has changed how I view the world for good. The fact that there is no solid or discernable "I / ego / self" within us, the fact what we consider to be "the self" is always changing and morphing, the fact that, when we look hard enough, that there is nothing worth clinging to in life - no external pleasure will last forever and we will forever be chasing more external pleasures to replace that desire we have for more and more - has made such an impact on me. One day I would like to stay in a monastery in Thailand or perhaps Nepal to try and at least attempt the path to nirvana.
Please have a look at the book 'The Mind Illuminated' as a good guide. The author intertwines neuroscience and Buddhism as a guide to how one may reach true peace.
Thanks for that book recommendation. I'm going to buy it!
Great comment & basic summary of Buddhism. Thank you.
The most powerful concept I’ve come across in Buddhism is that of not self or anatta. Thank you for mentioning it here so others may discover it too.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and life 😁
@@TheRepercussioner to you, don’t be an asshole and disrespect others beliefs. That’s actually disgusting behavior.
Sounds like the Sponge Bob guy saying “Ten hours later..”
Lololol so true
Him: This is the right time to relax
Me watching this 10 minutes before work: Absolutely
Hey work can be scary. It can't hurt to calm yourself a bit beforehand.
I am so happy you recorded this. It must have taken a lot of time to research! This is a part of history I am so deeply interested in (especially the spread of Buddhism to China and the rest of the east), and I wish it wouldn't put me to sleep... :)
I have no idea how he does these things. They are all on completely different subjects and so well researched. Then he presents them in such a beautiful way aside from his beautiful voice.
rr😝🦸🏽♀️

@@soltantio I manage to fall into unconsciousness in minutes and never manage to absorb all of the well presented content. Makes it great medium to revisit again and again though
@@soltantio he is a teacher actually which is why he has good knowledge of history and cultures
I usually watch your video... specially space related....and as a Indian and follower of Hinduism...i just wanna say it's my dream to read each and Vedas... before the age of 25
Right now i hardly gets 2-3 hr/day..due to studies..but it's my dream... And that's the main reason why i studied Sanskrit for 4-5 yrs..
That’s a great goal dude, mad respect for taking on such a big read and following through :)
Setting us up by a river, and telling us “This is the right time to relax.” That does it for me, releasing all the tension and even the anticipation in my body-thus moving me from trying to listen to allowing the sounds and words to slowly pour over my soul. I love “This is the right time to relax”!
Unlike many ASMRtists, your voice is so relaxing. Most of them think, they would make ASMR videos just by whispering or tapping the things around themselves XD
You are so calming and you always teach me something. You don't steal my time, you are such a good man. Thanks for all your videos ❤
As a Buddhist, I’m thrilled beyond words with this video, thanks so much 🙏🏼🌹
Female Buddhist LOL literally just ignorant to your own religion 💀💀😂😂
I'm a Buddhist as well and I'm so excited for this video....
Another beautifully made video. Having a long term interest in Buddhism myself I really appreciate the very respectful way this video has been made. You put such care and attention to detail into your work that you truly deserve the title of ‘artist’ mon ami 🙏🙏🙏 Merci beaucoup
"Tonight we are sitting in grass by a river" perfect! I'm in! You're the best!
Bro I fell asleep on a video and I woke up to my mom waking me up and hearing the chants and mom was scared 💀
This is the video I’ve been dreaming of!! 🙏🏼🧘🏻♀️ can’t wait to listen to this tonight!
The world has become so crazed, I wish things were more peaceful and ppl were more calm and caring
The past few nights I've been struggling to find some sort of video on Buddhism I can fall asleep to. This is perfect.
This is so needed right now! My baby is going through a sleep regression right now, so I’m struggling to get off to sleep in anticipation of her waking. the only way I get to sleep is listening to your videos at the moment! So grateful for a new one😁 thank you!
Ive been there 💜💜
Does she enjoy the audio?
This is 11 months late but I just had a baby and when does this happen???
I get so excited whenever he uploads because I’ve listened to the first 5 mins of everything he has on the channel so it’s all just reruns for me now.
There cannot be a better combination for a relaxing evening. Thank you, sir!
What a wonderful feeling it is to know a good night's sleep is coming everytime you release a video. Thank you for your hardwork and dedication.
Experience God's frequency :)
I always support you
I absolutely love this channel. It's so calming 😌 and the stories are always great. I especially love the Greek mythology stories I think those are my favorite so far.
I've been looking forward to this for some time - I knew it would be covered one day! Thank you so much. Really going to enjoy this.
Bonjour monsieur; it is always a pleasure to hear your stories not only for sleep but also for educational purposes. Please continue your amazing work and bring more amazing stories to the world. Au Revoir, Mon Ami
Experience God's frequency :)
I always support you
The silkiest, deepest, exquisite masculine voice I have ever heard!! 😴😴😴 What amazing content!! Thank you! 😊💕😊💕😊💕
Thank you so much for always including visual ASMR in these videos with the amazing objects you show us. Your slow, gentle and movements are just so relaxing. 😴
Amazing. Over 2500 years ago, one man alone had all the answers. One guy, born a prince, and especially for his time period! He somehow realized the one true path to end suffering. He knew. And it's so simple! Number one, of the most importance- Do not harm or kill any sentient being. If it feels pain, it deserves mercy. Unconditional love and understanding, compassion and empathy for all beings capable of suffering. No sexual misconduct. Rightful thought and rightful speech. Never say anything that might cause harm. Allow unsettling thoughts to go in and right out. Live only in the present. I just wish more people would have caught on by now! The world could essentially be a utopia if we just let it be.
Oh, I can't wait to go to bed tonight so I can listen! I've always been intrigued by Buddhism.
Another awesome idea for a video. Always found this topic fascinating. Thanks again!
I would love a video about Shinto as well! Great work as always
A thousand thank yous for uploading this today of all days. ❤️☮️ I needed this.
I just wanna tell you how much I appreciate these videos ♥️
I get so happy when I see a new video of yours. Your voice has helped me through so many sleepless nights these past two very difficult years. You helped me through some of the scariest nights of my life.
May you tune into God's frequency and feel His presence. I am always here to support you.
Thank you for being both informative and relaxing. A real pleasure, truly.
literally learning about ancient india in my social studies / history class rn
FW, you've outdone yourself in this inclusive study of such a diverse religion. You've covered it beautifully and without 'nonsense'... thank you again..
Congratulations on your work. I will try to listen to all your videos treating them as learning material as I find that falling asleep while listening doesn’t do them any justice.
Thank you to the algorithm for sending me this video, I have never seen this channel before. I love to learn about Buddhism, and this lovely man has the perfect voice. I don't usually like to listen to male ASMR, but this is perfect, thank you :o)
Yay!!!! Thank you SO much for choosing this subject 💙💙
Finally! I have been checking my phone multiple times a day since you said your next video was coming soon and was likely to be a new traditional culture, ancient tales genre. Then when you commented Buddism I was sooo excited to hear your reading. Thank you in advance. I hope you return soon with another reading of this nature 🙏🤞🤞
If you subscribe and then click on the bell next to the subscribe button, you'll get a notifaction when the next video is released so you dont have to keep checking your phone x
@@royeaston6067 I do that already but I couldn't stop double checking. I even started to think I had unsubscribed!
Thank you! Blessings for this beautiful video. You’re the best.
It’s rainy and cold, perfect time for one of your videos!
I use your videos to study for school and so far it’s helped a lot thank u
Ty for your work. I sleep well when sleep over takes the interest in the topics you cover.
I am really excited about this. I hope I can stay awake during the informative part of your video. It's not likely, so I'll definitely be listening to it when I'm awake. Goodnight 😴 🌟
This is beautiful. Thank you, brother!
You are a mind-reader, Sir! Exactly the ticket! 🎯
I adore your stories as I lay back at night and block out the world listening to your calming sensual voice with wonderful jouneys
Oh sh*, this is going to be interesting !! I love your history uploads they are really relaxing and easy to follow up.
Merci beaucoup mr. French whisper
Whenever I can't fall asleep, I listen to one of your stories. They are all quite interesting, but for some reason your voice is just too soothing, have the right intonation or frekvens, perhaps it is plain magic/sorcery, as I 80-90% of the time always drift off to sleep.
Biggest of thanks from a Swedish listener/sleeper.
Hi, I'm guessing that you have some Italian ancestry as well?, because your middle names are Italian.
I know what I'm listening to tonight!!! I've been waiting for this one!!! Namaste
the timing couldnt be more **chefs kiss**
Awesome video as always man!
I always get so excited when I see a new upload!!!
I can't stay awake, that beautiful voice, is making me feel so sleepy
Than you very much for this video... Very calming and informative, and a topic I am trying to learn more about.
... If I can stay awake to learn.
Great informational Video FW ! Been a long time fan and always look forward to your content
Oh he's back again with his beautiful voice, so I'll be sleeping soon, thank you ❤
15 seconds in and you just know it's going to be yet another first class video. Really looking forward to this!
I LOVE this one and come back to it frequently
From that very first moment of, "Hello everyone..." I am instantly relaxed!! Such an amazing job, Sir, as always!!
Many thanks!!! 💕
Thank you so much for your videos, I listen to them daily while falling asleep, and actually have trouble without them. I love what you do because I can learn while still not being too stimulated.
Could you do a closer look at different ancient Indian civilizations/empires? I think that would be really interested coming from you.
May you tune into God's frequency and feel His presence. I am always here to support you.
Brilliant. Always wanted to know more about Buddhism.
Buddha was born in Nepal, love Buddhism☸️
This is excellent, thank you!
Your videos and recordings are manna from heaven. All blessings to you sir. 💜💟🤍
Yay a new one! I needed this
Just what I needed today, "Thank You" 🙏☮ 😊
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
✨rest in present awareness be still close eyes listen to your breathing✨
"Thank you for the sharing. It's so inspiring. 🙏👍
"
Merci beaucoup FW for another relaxing and educational sunday evening! 🍷
Excited for this one!🕉😊
I’m looking forward to listening to this tonight. Nicely in time for bed in England.
I’m considering going to bed early just to listen to this a little sooner.
a perfect asmr video for a yoga instructor to fall asleep to looool
Would you be able to do one of these on Taoism
Thanks for making the videos a bit louder. Legend xxx
I wish I knew someone who could have conversations like you could. It’s rare to find 😕
Aw😊
This is stellar ! Fascinating if I can get thru it lol 😆
Thank you for the important life lesson ❤❤
extremely relaxed rn. prayin an ad doesn’t interrupt haha
Another great narration! Very relaxing! Thank you, Marcus

Tres meditatif, merci.
Tu doit avoir une collection d'object formidable, il y en a tourjour des nouveau :)
Such a soothing voice 😌.
How fitting that it's fast approaching the 2nd year anniversary of my Brothers death he was fascinated with the practice and teachings 🥰
This is amazing
Wow. My first introduction! Simply wow
bless you, sir 💟
Excellent
Hey I know this video was made quite a while ago, but I was wondering if you would cover a video over Daoism if you haven't already. I am interested in learning more about it and it would be really helpful :)
Thank u 🙏
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Wonderful
In our schools in South India we follow many aspects of buddism
Just wanted to let you know that the Nuclear Fusion album you added to Amazon music doesn’t seem to have a cover or any tracks in it. Thanks for all the great content, which is especially handy in audio form :)
Thanks! It works fine on Spotify, so I don't know what happened but I'll check that.
