Buddhism is the best thing I found in my life. I think it is the cure to this world & peace. Buddhist people are very peaceful, kind, no violence, forgive others, grateful, intelligent, happy, no attached to anything, no fear.. Simply best versions of humans. If majority of the people study Buddhism, there will be no wars like today..
True monotheists worship one & only Almighty Infinite! Finite & nature are subject to the laws of the Almighty Infinite! but Almighty infinite is not subject to the law of any finite or nature! IQ 35:15 O finite, You are the poor in need of Almighty Infinite, whereas ALMIGHTY INFINITE is the Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy.”If INFINITE wills, He can put All Finites & Nature away & bring a new generation. & that is not difficult for G∞d INFINITE.
Christians primarily pray to God to seek forgiveness, acknowledge His presence, and offer worship in the name of Jesus. They ask for miracles, comfort, healing, and blessings. In contrast, Buddhism focuses on self-awareness and personal experience. It encourages individuals to believe in themselves, learn from their mistakes, and practice a way of living that avoids repeating those errors. Rather than praying, Buddhists emphasize cultivating wisdom and compassion toward others.
You have stated what Buddhism truly is. Be mindful. There are many Buddhists nowadays are still in the mould of praying the Buddha as god. I am a discerning Buddhism follower and share your views.
@@odyssey327 I still bow in front of the Buddha statue, but only as a gesture of respect for him as a great teacher. The act of praying to Buddha stems from a misinterpretation by certain Buddhist monks who have failed to convey his teachings accurately, often embellishing them with false claims. This has led many followers to believe in miracles, which deviates from the essence of Buddhism. For example, if you search for the phenomenon of "Minh Tue Buddhist monk in Vietnam," you'll see how people are now shifting their understanding of Buddha towards a focus on practice and learning the true principles of Buddhism. I’m not sure why such phenomena have emerged in Vietnam, where the majority of people traditionally worship Buddhism as a religion rather than following its teachings. However, perspectives are now shifting toward personal practice and deeper understanding. Thanks to the information available on the internet, more people are gaining insight into Buddhism and gravitating toward its true teachings.
@azndragon75 I was born in a multicultural society and had many opportunities coming in contact with Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. I studied them all (the latter two to a lesser entent), and I chose Buddhism for it is not a religion or a philosophy, it is something that we can relate to in our daily lives. I would like to share my Buddhism journey with viewers who are interested in the subject. In Buddhism teaching, we feel with the heart(mind). Learning Buddhism is to learn how to purify our hearts, free from greed, anger and recognise the truth around us. 《心念的重要》 The importance of state of mind (heart) 人心念變了 , 德行就變了 Deviated mind will change one's virtue. 要改变自己 Correcting oneself. 真正靠的是自己的正能量 , 厚德載物 Is to seek inner strength and virtue. 而不是身上配戴的 , 各種護身符轉運珠, 求神拜佛, 天天祈祷 The answers do not come by praying, making vows, wearing ornate amulets. 內心要有慈悲, 善良，柔和，寬厚的展现, 打开心胸, 拉开视野, 必長福相 but to show compassion, kindness, tolerance, and possess an open-mind. 这些昂貴的品质 , 都不能裝扮出來的, 来至于心 Do not fake the above. Let these innate qualities flow from your heart. [相] 由 心 生 Appearance can fool oneself. [境] 由 心 转 Our thoughts can change at an instant state of mind. 人心生一念，天地盡皆知 Whatever your mind conceived, will be known to heaven and earth. 善惡若無報，乾坤必有私 If good is not rewarded and evil not punished, Heaven and Earth must be biased. 人生就是一場修行 , 修的就是一顆有结缚的心(解十结,止息贪嗔痴) Practising Buddhism is a journey through freeing the 10 shackles of life and allowing us to see our greed, anger and ignorance. 心柔順了 , 一切就完美了 When all the above diminished, our mind is purified. 心清淨了 , 處境就美好了 When your heart is pure, our situation will be better. 心快樂了 , 人生就幸福了 We will feel joyous, satisfied, and completely relieved from inner suffering of the mind. 人這一輩子 , 不管活成什麼樣子 However we live, 都不要把責任推給別人, 要来自观自己的不足, 认清历缘对境的一切真理实相 do not put blames on others, we must discover our inadequacies, analyse and recognise all the truths around us. 一切喜怒哀樂都是自己造成 It is the "self" within ourselves that created our pleasure, anger, sorrow, and joy. 生命是一種回聲 Life is an echo to the deeds that we do. 你幫助的人越多 , 你得到的回馈越多 The more you help without expectations, the more you will receive in return. 佛陀点亮我们的心灯，是唤醒我们的良心，看到我们的无知。 他希望我们拥抱宽容，无私，爱和慈悲，并准备给予。 Buddha lights up our heart lamp is to awake our conscience to see our ignorance. He wants us to embrace tolerance, selflessness, love and compassion, and ready to give. 他希望我们放弃抓取和自我为的欲望；摆脱依恋和固执；远离贪婪，愤怒和无知。 He wants us to forgo grapping and our ego-centered desires; free ourselves from attachments and stubbornness; stay away from greed, anger, and ignorance. 他教导我们认识到什么是业力，并知道宇宙的真理和生命的现实。要谨慎我们的三妙行 - 行动，言语和思想。 He teaches us to recognize what karma is and to know the truth of the universe and the reality of life. Be prudent with our actions, speeches and thoughts. 他强调不要害怕死亡，并将其与一切的无常联系起来。 He illiterates that death is not to be afraid of, and relate it to the impermanence of everything. Buddha's teachings have been reflected in many well-known patriarchs' practices throughout China, past and present. "The Awakening the World 醒世词" is one of them. The author of the seven-row rhythm poetry was a monk named HanshanDeqing 憨山德清大师 in the late Ming Dynasty. This poem he wrote is widely circulated and his followers in recent times have written a song out of it. It is profound and thought-provoking.
I found happiness in Theravada Buddhism, spent a total of six months in Southeast Asia, and went for Refuge in the Triple Gem, and accepted the Five Precepts at a Theravada temple. Namo Buddhaya, 🙏🏼 ☸️ 🌴 🌴 🌴 🙂
When asked about the origin of the Universe, The Buddha replied, ‘THIS DHARMA HAS NO DISCERNIBLE BEGINNING.’ Suggesting it always was, and presumably always will be.
The missing link or incompleteness in the study of philosophy and psychology is the personal experience/ active participant in human spiritual experience that resonates with further scientific investigation of Man/individual
2:00The Buddha never answered such questions as to when,how,why or who created the universe. Because it wasn't conducive to ending suffering. He related a story in regards to this of a man who was shot by an arrow. When the physician came to attend and fix his wound the man said I will not let you treat me until I know who shot the arrow,what caste was he from,is he rich or poor and many other conditions. The doctor told him he will die before he finds out even half of these things.
Buddha was for then and Falun Gong is for now. Practitioners of Falun Gong aspire to live in accordance with truthfulness-compassion-tolerance in their daily lives, with the ultimate aspiration of spiritual transformation, or as what is known in the East as enlightenment. Falun Gong can enable one to reach a state of altruism, health and inner balance......................Zhuan Falun
Absolutely! Buddha’s emphasis on critical thinking and personal inquiry encourages us to find our own understanding and wisdom. It's a truly empowering approach! 🌟
Gautama Himself predicted that His Dharma would last only 2500 years and now is that time. My main concern in life is to save people and Buddhism is fine and what I am doing is offering everyone an alternative, Falun Dafa, which literally means, the Great Way, based upon Buddhist traditions. Jesus also spoke of the Way. Falun Dafa practices truthfulness-compassion-tolerance and answers many of the profound mysteries of creation.
@@jeff_forsythe The thing about Falun Dafa is, like many other religious organizations, had noble beginnings, but later on as it grew in power it became corrupted. Sad reality indeed.
I am Buddhist. And we don't exactly hope or want everyone in the world to be Buddhist. It's generally the philosophies basic dictum that a majority of people are blind, and only a few have the luck and want to see the light. Maybe, also the reason why there's been no conversions by sword in Buddhism - because our values can't be taught like that. They should be voluntarily understood. But, if Buddhism was followed by everyone to some extent the world would be more peaceful that's the fact. Thank You!!!!
Exactly .. as Dalai Lams mentioned in his book The Art of Happiness, people can keep practicing the religion they grow up or attach with, learn Buddhist teaching to attain enlightenment or get out of ignorance.
the problem with western people is that yall tend to turn everything into a fascist statement when everybody must follow and obey rules, turning enlightment into dogma. Buddhism should be followed by those capable of understanding it.
Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism". Einstein also believed that the religion of the future would be cosmic, transcending personal gods and avoiding dogmas and theology. He believed that it should be based on a religious sense that arises from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity. Many modern figures have argued that Buddhism is rational and compatible with science. Some have even argued that Buddhism is "scientific".
Thank you for your thoughtful insights! It’s fascinating how Buddhism aligns with both science and a deeper understanding of unity. I appreciate you sharing your perspective! 🙏✨ Namaste

@@jeff_forsytheThat's not true,Buddha's dharma will last for good as long as we take good care of it. The Buddha had never predicted how long Buddhism will last. Some senior monks in Sri Lanka did,they said it will last 5,000 years (if we don't take good care of it).
@@jirapansubannapan-5492 My teacher is a enlightened one and He says that is true, where did you become misinformed? Buddha also said that no dharma is definitive which Bodhidharma misunderstood as no dharma is teachable and that is why, still today, very few answers are given in Zen. I do not make things up, I am not trying to sell anybody anything, I am just trying to save people...................Falun Dafa
@@jirapansubannapan-5492 And your statement only proves my point, only if we take good care of it. In case you have not noticed, the entire world has lowered its moral standard and cast out all sense of the Divine.
Buddhism is not a myth, but a way to purify our minds and see through the world within us and the outside to understand the reality, which is the "uncertainty' involved in all life forms and physical objects which are subjected to change at every fraction of a second.
Different schools of Buddhism brings us to different levels of spiritual attainment. The one that brings us to the highest level is Falun Dafa(The Great Way).........truthfulness-compassion-tolerance.
You are saying OBSCURANTIST NONSENSE. How can you say PURIFICATION and ENLIGHTENMENT which ⚡️REQUIRE CERTAINTY of ⚡️BECOMATE ( only the NECESSARY ONE BEING IS THE ⚡️STATE, the multiple creatures are CONTINGENT BECOMINGS) AND "uncertainty" which is NON-ENLIGHTEMENT❓
It's wonderful to hear how the teachings of Buddha resonate with you! Embracing a path that speaks to your inner being is truly powerful. Namo Buddhaya! 🌟
The true purpose of life is to break the cycle of reincarnation and to return home, which is Heaven, not through dying but through living. and having a great teacher. Falun Dafa is that teacher.
❤ ❤ ❤ Buddhism is the best scientific religion, if it is a religion. Buddhism is not a dogma, it is a way of living in a peaceful harmony with everything and it evolves with science.

I like you to read a little poem that I wrote some 50 years ago, I am 86 now. The poem goes like this: Eternity: I have been the sky and I have been the sea. I have been the wind and I have been the tree. This is why I know that I was, that I am and that when I die, through my quantic atoms, I will be part of millions of body for millions of years, some times even a human body. God is in every quantic atom of the universe.
wow amazing poem brother. Thank you for sharing. Sending you love and blessings. And thumbs up for being here looking at this video at age 86, very profound. I wish you good health and piece of mind. Namaste!
LITERATURE AND SCIENCE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES. LITERATURE GOES BY WHAT YOU SEE AND HEAR WHILST A PHYSICIST GOES BEYOND TO UNDERSTAND BEYOND SOLID MATTER WHAT A NORMAL BEING PERCEIVES AS TRUE IS NOT SO FROM THE EYES OF A PHYSICIST SMALL PEOPLE ARE STILL HAPPY WITH TOYS ITS NOT SO WITH A PHYSICIST WE SIMPLY CANNOT COMPREHEND HIS LEVEL OF THINKING EINSTIEN USED ONLY 3% OF HIS BRAINS LESSOR MORTALS LIKE US COULD BE USING NOTHING MORE THAN.005% OF OUR BRAIN POWER
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s fascinating how different cultures interpret the universe. As Buddha said, “The Universe has NO Beginning and NO END.” 🌌 Namo Buddhaya!
As a Buddhist for half a century, I would advise this channel not to compare, who is more profound !! A differentiating mind is the root of problems !! Some people like this and some like the other !
I can appreciate your peaceful approach but I think there’s some real problems with nodding our heads in allowing others to delude themselves into qualifying harmful views against others. Discourse and debate can exist and I think through this practice we can see humanity become healthier rather than stagnant and allow others to get away with harming others.
We all have the very important ability to discern. Deciding what is good and what is bad. Now, at the End of Times, people have lost that ability, very sad.

There is a Westerner, mathematician, and philosopher named Alfred North Whitehead, who, about 100 years ago, wrote several books, articles, etc. putting forth an idea of the "universe" in which the laws of cause and effect permeate everything and that what is called "the Divine" is the sum total of all organized societies (human bodies are societies, trees are societies, cells are societies, etc.) and that each make choices based on the impact of past choices, both individual and collective which leads to event outcomes. All is in relation to everything else and from that sentience arises. The "Divine society" knows all the "possible outcomes" of any decisions but until the sentient being makes that decision, it knows no more than the being in question. Hence, "God" is not omnipotent. Whitehead was trying to outline a cosmology which reconciled the new quantum mechanics with an understanding that goes beyond traditional Western fixed state science. Many criticized Whitehead and subsequent philosophers of his thinking of drifting into Buddhism albeit from a Western lens. More current theologians in both Judaism and Christianity have started to use his tool to examine their own traditions through the window offered by Siddhartha 2500 years ago. They, of course, have their critics, but it is often interesting how deep wisdom can cross cultural barriers and come from unexpected sources.
I was given God's Divine Blessing over twenty years ago, He most certainly exists and can do anything. He created everything and considers us His most precious creation. Truthfulness-compassion-tolerance.........................Falun Dafa
@@hatebreeder999 You have a soul which has reincarnated thousands of times, sometimes male and sometimes female. God has no body but He has taken human form and is now here in a male body. Falun Dafa explains it all.

Chinese, Korea, Japan-- Taoism, Tai-Chi, Zen... Your one jump is 84,000 miles, No matter how many times you jump, you are still in Buddha Palm. .... 4 Noble Truth.....
I am a loyal Buddhist. Buddha said that he was just a human like us. He was not a divine. He asked us to follow and practice his teachings. I pray to Buddha every morning because I respect his teaching. I believe karma. I don't believe that I can be saved if I say I believe xxxxx before I die. I believe relive. I have strong vivid evidence that my late father and late sister have relive in my family and are living very close to me because I love my father and my sister very much. I am not allowed to lie.

Absolutely! The parable emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly matters in life. Sometimes, seeking answers can distract us from living fully in the present. Thanks for highlighting this valuable teaching! Namaste
This Clip purports to focus on Agañña Sutta...yet it has a lot of commentary about Buddhist doctrine in general. Getting a hold of Agañña Sutta is heartily recommended and a clip on it would be awesome☆

In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth after eons of life times of purification of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist texts "Pali Thripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universes are "energies" with influence of the "elements" under "causality". The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the "Human heart " organ as electrical wave signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy" which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "sub conscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy called "kamma/karma in Buddhism.

God is not subjected to the laws of creation because they are limiting and it would be limiting to His capabilities. At times, these laws of creation might fail in order to obey God's will. Physics would mean nothing and that would be easy for God. He is not subjected to the laws of creation. They just follow His will.

@@jeff_forsythe yes, everything is unique. But that's all just matter being arranged differently. The arrangement may be different but the matter is the same. I believe once we reach even higher spiritual awareness we'll realise this matter and material world are just an illusory layer before the true reality which is God, and this illusory layer is God too, and so are we (our souls are a part of God). We and everything around us are one and once we realise this, we'll be able to feel it in our consciousness
@@CharlieBrooks-tk3no There is only one Way. It is Falun Dafa (The Great Way). The book Zhuan Falun is on line. I am not looking for a debate or argument, take it or leave it, good luck. We here on Earth live in the dimension between cells and planets. Another dimension is between molecules and atoms, another may be quarks and neutrinos and thousands of other dimensions both larger and tinier. Anything that exists contains matter. That is why a guru can read our thoughts because our thoughts consist of super microscopic particles of matter. The smaller the particle, the greater its energy. Split a molecule, nothing, split an atom, boom. This decrease in size continues countless times until the soul. Just imagine the energy of that particle. And it is that energy that heats all the other particles up to our cells. Another tidbit. All thought originates only in the soul, the brain takes orders from the soul, just like the cockpit of an aircraft, the soul is the pilot. I am not a teacher but I just gave you a few bits of knowledge to encourage you to read Zhuan Falun, good luck

"The Venerable Mahakasyapa smiling when Buddha held up a flower" -- this statement was only spread later in China and was not found in the original Buddhist scriptures (according to textual research).
Buddhist says that there are only two entity in the existence. 1. The spirit or the wisdom and 2. The entire external Cosmos. The wisdom is abstract and is not subjected to five senses. It continuously cycle in three stages. a). Birth, death and intermediate stages. b) The cosmos continuously cycles in four stages. 1. Formation 2. Existance 3. Desintegeration 4. Dissolution Time span of each stages are as this : Dissolved..... Countless Trillions of years. Formation 10 percent of above. Existance...some billion years. Desintegeration....hundreds of billion years. Wisdom, or spirit ; As soon as one has complete purifies his mind. The cycle of birth, death and Bhardo ( an intermediate stage) ends and obtained pure wisdom mind. That is called supreme God, Allah, Enlightend one or Ultimate Quantum reality! Since the basis of entire entity or cosmos are pure light. The claim of Cristian and Islam can be justified. Scientists themselves believed that every thing is evolved from Dark matter, pure light or Quarks. Both belives that there is very powerfull pure light and that pure light is, Buddha, God, Allha or pure. Light or Quark!

What I took from this video is basically how Mother Earth provided a land of abundance initially for all to survive peacefully but then greed set in amongst a few who took food etc away from others to hoard which basically started a fight for survival amongst many due to shortages of what was needed to survive. The greed has stayed with us throughout time allowing those with more than they need to conquer those less fortunate. Greed still plays the biggest problem for mankind, the oil rich countries control the output of oil and gas to keep them rich, big pharma feeds us lies and medicines which don’t cure the causes only elevate the symptoms although there has been an eradication of some terrible diseases due to the wonders of medicine so there are many positives as well as many very wealthy people. Food production is controlled worldwide by only a few massive conglomerates who control seed prices, fertiliser costs etc and eventually the final cost of what ends up on the supermarket shelves. The rich have got richer and the poor still struggle on. Avarice is the root of all evil, just my thoughts

In Buddhism, As it's mentioned that there are 31 realms of existence, in our Galaxy. 1.The 4 Hells 2.Human Realm 3.Six Celestial Realms 4.Twenty Supermundane Celestial Brahma Realms. Among the Celestial Realms you find the Ruler Gods and the less powerful Gods as well. Lord Buddha never denied the existence of Gods(Plural). And all beings have the potential ability to become a God head or even Attain Buddhahood by accumulating an enormous amount of Merit(Wholesome Karma) Also Karma(Commitments) is your creator. Wholesome Karma gives you rewards in heaven and the Bad Karma will drag you down to Hell. And therefore Buddhist don't blame God when evil things happen, you accept the misery as a result of your own bad Karma May all beings be well and Happy!
The problem here is notion of good and bad is very subjective and keeps changing from culture to culture in every century so How does karma decides whats bad and whats good
Dude,beings from celestial realms aren't gods but angels aka devas When you interpret it as 'god', shts happen. I mean the whole understanding is done 😆

Thank you for presenting this. Being an appreciator of the teaching of Jesus your explanation brought to memory the parable of the Prodigal. The Prodigal was in dire straits until he "came to himself" and returned home after he remembered his origin. Thanks again.
1. Should it be called a MYTH, or a THEORY? 2. How about offering some FACTS about the Sutra, such as when it was written, in what language, how many chapters it has, what each chapter deals with, what English translations are available etc?

The origin of ‘Zen’ is obviously Chan and is simply the assimilation of Buddhist teachings within a pre-existent Daoist culture. Even before the advent of Buddhism there are references to psychological meditative techniques in China, notably in the classic text, Zhuangzi, which mentions ‘xinzhai’, fasting the mind and ‘zuowang’, sitting in oblivion. From that basis Dao and Buddhist practices had great similarities .
Bodhidharma, the patriarch of Zen, based his practice on a misunderstanding of some thing that Gautama Buddha said. Different schools of Buddhism brings us to different levels of spiritual attainment.

The origin of Zen was based upon the misunderstanding of a quote of Buddha's made by Bodhidharma. Nothing to do with Taoism, sorry. Zhuan Falun explains all the different schools, on line free.
Even in Hinduism, the Bhagwata purana talks about cycles of birth and death of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. Hinduism talks about Srishti, Stithi, and Layam. Evolution, Existence, and Dissolution only to repeat the cycle again and again.
Great point! The cyclical nature of creation in Hinduism adds a profound layer to our understanding of existence. It’s fascinating how different traditions explore similar themes
Take any religion suitable to you as long as you have compassionate heart, helping hand, good deed avoid greed: anger, envy or jealousy, attachment, killing, harsh divisive speech and action etc. You will be fine.
"You said, 'Imagine a world which unfolds without divine commands but through natural processes.' Where will these natural processes originate? What, in your view, constitutes 'natural' in a context where no predefined laws or frameworks exist? If everything is purely natural, what is the initial impulse or force that sets natural laws into motion? How do you define "natural" when you assume a scenario devoid of any metaphysical or divine involvement? What specific 'laws of nature' are you referencing when, in this hypothetical scenario, no underlying reality or laws pre-exist? How do such laws emerge without a guiding principle or initiator? Can something as complex as laws of nature arise spontaneously without an overarching framework or architect? Are these laws deterministic, and if so, who or what determines them? In your 'dependency theory,' upon what exactly do the dependents rely? Can an infinite regress of dependencies truly exist without ultimately pointing to a source? Are there limits to this dependency chain, or is there a necessary being or first cause that terminates the chain? If dependencies are contingent, what is the nature of the necessary being or uncaused cause that underlies them? If an uncaused cause is inevitable in your framework, what qualifies this uncaused cause? What characteristics does this 'first cause' possess? How does your first cause differ from a divine or metaphysical entity, if at all? Can an uncaused cause exist within purely naturalistic boundaries, and how would that resolve the need for an initiator of cause-and-effect relationships? You referred to 'modern scientific understanding.' Which specific branches or theories of science support your claims? Are you drawing upon theories like quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, or the theory of relativity? How do these theories address ultimate questions of existence and the origins of natural laws? What are the laws of cause and effect that govern primordial processes, especially in a context where no pre-existing order is acknowledged? If these laws emerge from nothing, how does that not violate the principle of sufficient reason? How do you account for consistency and continuity in the development of such laws if there is no intentionality behind their emergence? When you differentiate between 'divine' and 'laws,' how do you define these terms? What is the nature of their separation in your understanding? Is there room for a divine entity that exists outside natural laws but can still influence or govern them? Can laws truly function in an orderly fashion without any metaphysical grounding or overarching intelligence? How do you conceptualize God in this framework? Why do you see God as a 'person' rather than a "force/cause/power/intelligence" and what evidence or philosophical reasoning leads to this perception? You mentioned the cosmic cycle of 'expansion and contraction' and implied that this resembles modern scientific theories of cosmic evolution. How do you reconcile or contrast this concept with descriptions found in religious texts, such as the Quran or Torah? For instance, the Quran references expansion (Quran 51:47) and creation’s repetition (Quran 30:27, 10:34). How do these descriptions compare to modern scientific ideas of cosmic evolution or the Big Bang? Are these ancient texts and scientific theories mutually exclusive, or could they be complementary descriptions of the same phenomena? You suggest that Holy Writs like the Torah, Gospel, or Quran don’t contain similar ideas of cosmic expansion and contraction. Is it possible that your interpretation overlooks these references, or do you view them as metaphorical rather than literal truths? Could your position on these scriptures be based on a limited understanding of their content, or is there a deliberate philosophical stance that differentiates them from modern science? What or who, in your understanding, drives the expansion and contraction of the universe? Is it purely mechanical, or do you acknowledge any form of agency or causality behind these cosmic processes? If you argue for a naturalistic, cyclical process, how do you account for the initiation of these cycles? Does the universe's tendency to expand and contract suggest the need for an external force or intelligence, or is it entirely self-sustaining? If modern science speaks of forces like gravity, dark matter, or quantum fluctuations behind cosmic phenomena, how do you reconcile these with the metaphysical or theological concept of a 'prime mover' or 'uncaused cause'? Can natural laws, which govern the cosmos, function independently of any higher authority, or do they ultimately point toward something beyond mere physicality? Do you see any possible intersection where theology and science might offer complementary views on the origins and functioning of the universe?
Thank you McFarah for your detailed comment. You've raised some profound questions about the nature of existence, natural laws, and the origins of the universe, which merit a thorough and nuanced discussion. I’ll do my best to address your points within the scope of the ideas I presented, while acknowledging that these topics often extend beyond the boundaries of scientific and philosophical inquiry. When I spoke about the world unfolding through “natural processes,” I was referring to phenomena explained by scientific theories, such as quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and relativity. These branches of science describe the behavior of matter, energy, and fundamental forces without invoking divine intervention. In this context, the term "natural" refers to processes and laws observable in our universe-those that can be tested, measured, and explained by empirical evidence. As for where these natural processes originate, this is indeed one of the ultimate mysteries. The question of what initiates natural laws or what constitutes the “first cause” has been explored by both metaphysical philosophy and physics. While some argue for a necessary being or uncaused cause, modern science often approaches this from a perspective of emergent phenomena. Theories like quantum fluctuations suggest that something can arise from what we perceive as "nothing," though this concept of nothingness may still contain underlying energy or potential. Regarding the question of laws spontaneously arising without a guiding principle or architect, it's important to note that many physicists propose that the laws of physics may themselves be contingent or emergent from more fundamental structures. Some theories, such as string theory or the multiverse hypothesis, suggest that what we perceive as the "laws of nature" may vary across different potential realities. In this view, these laws are not necessarily determined by an external entity but could emerge from deeper layers of physical reality, even if we don’t yet fully understand their origin. When it comes to the "dependency theory" you referenced, the question of infinite regress is a classic philosophical dilemma. Some propose that there must be a stopping point, a necessary being or principle from which everything else depends. Others, however, suggest that infinite regress is not necessarily problematic and that the chain of dependencies could be part of a larger, self-sustaining system. This is an open question in both philosophy and cosmology, and it’s one where different frameworks, from theism to atheism, offer competing views. As for the comparison between ancient religious texts and modern scientific theories like cosmic expansion, I agree that there are interesting parallels between certain religious descriptions and current scientific models. For example, the Quran’s mention of expansion (Quran 51:47) can be seen as aligning with the modern understanding of an expanding universe. Whether these similarities are coincidental, metaphorical, or literal truths is a matter of interpretation. While religious texts may contain symbolic language or metaphorical descriptions, modern science relies on empirical observation and mathematical models. Some people view these as complementary, while others see them as separate ways of understanding the universe. Ultimately, my perspective on these matters is one of curiosity and openness. I believe that both science and theology offer valuable insights into the nature of existence, though they approach the question from different angles. I appreciate your challenge to think deeper, and I encourage continued exploration of these profound mysteries. Om Shanti Om. In sha allah!
@@mayawisdom888 Thank you for your effort, but I believe there are some fundamental principles that you may want to consider: 1. The Principle of Causality: In any rational framework, an effect cannot exist without a cause. This is a fundamental axiom both in philosophy and natural sciences. Whether the chain of cause-and-effect relationships is infinite or finite, the existence of the chain itself requires an initial cause. This "first cause" must be uncaused. If it were caused, it would itself be an effect, and the chain would regress infinitely without ever arriving at an origin. Hence, the first cause must, by necessity, be self-sustaining, uncaused, and exist outside the chain of contingent causes. Without this first cause, such a relationship would never have initiated in the first place. 2. The Role of Information in Existence: All of existence, from the molecular structure of DNA to the vast complexity of the cosmos, is governed by information. Information, by its nature, implies order, structure, and meaning. Information does not arise from randomness or chaos. It points to the presence of intelligence behind its creation. Whether we observe the intricacies of biological life or the fine-tuning of universal constants, the presence of structured, meaningful information suggests an intelligent source. Random processes do not generate complex and purposeful information without guidance.
I have been Buddhism my whole life. This is what Buddhism meant in the simple way- life is endless circle of reincarnation. If you do bad things in this life you will suffer in your next life. Buddhism is about finding a way out of the endless circle of reincarnation. To put it in a really simple way- what goes around comes around. If you do bad you will suffer. So the best thing is to do nothing. Cut ties with everyone and everything and meditate in solitude until you gain enlightenment. It looks easy but remember to cut ties with everything is not an easy job cut ties like your all your emotions (no happiness, no sadness, no anger, etc.
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful summary! The path to enlightenment is indeed challenging, and as you said, finding freedom from attachment and karma takes deep dedication. 🙏
When religion hijacked mysticism, it became a tool for control, particularly as reading learning and communication were limited to only a few in the audience. Stripped of local symbology, most belief systems at their core bear significant similarities, differing mainly in labels. Old Aeon mindsets are being dismantled now faster than before and the division between Science and Faith is demonstrably less distinct. The old Magicians always knew this, as do the new ones
Absolutely! Buddha's insights into the nature of existence continue to inspire many. It's amazing how his teachings resonate across cultures and time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 🌌💫 Namo buddhaya
Even if there is the causa prima, it will be different than bible god. The channel owner could read about brahmajala sutta and the story of brahma bakka to get more insight about it.
Buddhism as described by you is close to discussions I’ve had with Buddhist priests and ministers. However many branches of Buddhism are closer to Abrahamic and other religions where the central figure(s) are the conduit to heaven. I’d even go farther and say a majority of Buddhists are taught there definitely is an afterlife. Is this a subject you might be interested in discussing?
If a human is able to look inwards , and is able to find his own happiness .... and if the religion he practices... helps him with the same....It's a life worthy to be called a Life in one's lifetime.
The problem with accepting the natural process as the answer to the universe, it that sin is a natural process too, and such, there is less reason to label sin as evil.
Sin is part of the natural process as much as death is. Buddhism is about finding the way to a place beyond it, Nirvana. It doesn't matter weather we accept that a god created this world of it was created through natural process, fact is we will still suffer the same, we will still die the same. What is important is that he asks you to find your own truth, without believing whats written in a book, be it he who wrote or another.
Religion itself becomes incomplete without any verbal scientific explanations on it.. Religions becomes significant only when science doesn't have any further analysis of it.
When anybodies are told they 'need' to believe in a God to be saved. One must be very cautious of that religion. NO ONE should ever be told to 'believe or ELSE!' Always question authority.
This comment is not in reference to this particular video, it is in reference to an absolute assertion in the description of this channel on it's subscription page. > Two people can 'not' live exactly the same life. In fact, identical twins with the exact same genitic makeup and raised in the same family and household cannot live exactly the same life, neither internally nor externally. This is a ridiculous absolute assertion that can be easily disproved.
@@mayawisdom888 Yes, thank you. I would be very wary, cautious, skeptical of any absolutisms. When thoroughly examined and thought through critically with openness and humility, these types of absolute statements are almost always realized to be false. Namaste 🙏🏽💙🙏🏽

I believe Buddhist is the improvement of God. No one in the world has seen God with their eyes, except prophets (maybe), and all prophets are messenger.

The Buddha exist bc long2 ago. He has already established the dhama to guide humanity towards wisdom & achieving Enlightenment through his dhama (timeless)
All things being equal, Buddhism version should be more accurate based on the fact that Buddha and Buddhist spent lots of time meditating to tap into their own minds and universe.
I agree! Buddhism places a deep focus on self-awareness and inner exploration through meditation, which allows for a profound understanding of the mind and the universe. It's this dedication to mindfulness and introspection that makes the teachings so insightful :)
Very interesting....for many years I've thought about the traditional creation God belief;how could a being have always existed before making the universe?where would this being have been...since no place existed yet?
I was raised in a strict Catholic family and about the same time I stopped believing in Santa Clause I stopped believing in a religious god. I consider myself an agnostic and doubt very seriously there’s life after death, so I better enjoy it while I’m here. I do believe meditation can change my brain chemistry by repeating a few prayers, however, I’m not petitioning a god or listening to a god, I’m reminding myself to be more aware how I treat people and avoid behavior that is selfish. I found when I do meditation I’m a happier person and less likely to an asshole. The happiest people I know are the most generous and I don’t mean necessarily materialistically, to the contrary the most miserable people I know are the most selfish.
The sequence of the Bible's creation account aligns with our current scientific knowledge, fossil records, and other evidence. Only the true God can reveal this truth to us. God, who exists outside of time, space, and matter, began His creative work in the universe. *First day* - The beginning of creation includes the earth, sun, moon, and our galaxy. The earliest and simplest life forms began in the water. [Genesis 1:1-5] *Second day* - A cloudy atmosphere formed, with most of the water in the form of vapor (i.e., water above). The earth was still hot at this early stage of creation. [Genesis 1:6-8] *Third day* - Some of the water vapor began to condense, forming seas, and land appeared as continents. Vegetation and algae began to grow. Water vapor acted as a greenhouse, protecting the plants. [Genesis 1:9-13] *Fourth day* - Water vapor fully condensed, and the sky became clear. The lights from the sun, moon, and stars fully penetrated the earth's surface, allowing for the establishment of various seasons. [Genesis 1:14-19] *Fifth day* - Sea creatures were created first, followed by winged birds. [Genesis 1:20-23] *Sixth day* - Land animals (mammals) and humans were created. [Genesis 1:24-31] *Seventh day* - God finished His active creation and rested. We are still in the seventh day. [Genesis 2:1-3].
And about the creation of humans, "And the Lord God formed the man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" Genesis 2:7. This is not very scientific.
Interesting question! While Egyptian hieroglyphs and Buddhism stem from different cultures, they both explore themes of spirituality and human experience in unique ways. It's fascinating to see how various traditions connect and influence one another :)
If it is so, then how math and natural laws appeared? There is a problem: math and natural laws are unchanged, unchangeable, undeletable, uncreated and permeates every point in time space continuum. Remember that time measure change(s). So no change, no time.... So any "evolution" of any kind, can't happen before the math and natural laws. On the other hand if math and natural laws would be changing, then also 1 of the basic math axiom would be subject to changes... If this particular axiom would be subject to change, then NO knowledge of any kind would be possible. This axiom states: Any single thing (with NO exception) is equal to itself (at any given moment in time space continuum). Now if this axiom is changeable, then no identification system is possible, no communication system is possible, so no math robustness, because math would be also changing... So in short, no knowledge would be possible. But math and natural laws are unchanged, unchangeable, undeletable, uncreated and permeates every point in time space continuum. How do you explain their existence?
Great question! The unchanging nature of math and natural laws is indeed fascinating-it’s as if they form the very fabric of our universe. Many philosophers and scientists ponder this mystery too! 🙏
In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth after eons of life times of purification of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist texts "Pali Thripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universes are "energies" with influence of the "elements" under "causality". The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the "Human heart " organ as electrical wave signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy" which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "sub conscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy called "kamma/karma in Buddhism.
In agganna sutra it says that our souls came from another place in the universe and when the world destroys our souls doesnt destroys. It's a great sutra that cope with Science. A non buddhist should read it.
Great point! Each belief system offers its own unique insights and wisdom. It's fascinating to explore the different perspectives rather than compete. Thanks for sharing!
Buddhism is the best thing I found in my life. I think it is the cure to this world & peace. Buddhist people are very peaceful, kind, no violence, forgive others, grateful, intelligent, happy, no attached to anything, no fear.. Simply best versions of humans. If majority of the people study Buddhism, there will be no wars like today..

Christians primarily pray to God to seek forgiveness, acknowledge His presence, and offer worship in the name of Jesus. They ask for miracles, comfort, healing, and blessings. In contrast, Buddhism focuses on self-awareness and personal experience. It encourages individuals to believe in themselves, learn from their mistakes, and practice a way of living that avoids repeating those errors. Rather than praying, Buddhists emphasize cultivating wisdom and compassion toward others.
thank you for your nice sharing, i think that is 100% true what you speak. Om mani padme hum!
You have stated what Buddhism truly is. Be mindful. There are many Buddhists nowadays are still in the mould of praying the Buddha as god. I am a discerning Buddhism follower and share your views.
@@odyssey327 I still bow in front of the Buddha statue, but only as a gesture of respect for him as a great teacher. The act of praying to Buddha stems from a misinterpretation by certain Buddhist monks who have failed to convey his teachings accurately, often embellishing them with false claims. This has led many followers to believe in miracles, which deviates from the essence of Buddhism. For example, if you search for the phenomenon of "Minh Tue Buddhist monk in Vietnam," you'll see how people are now shifting their understanding of Buddha towards a focus on practice and learning the true principles of Buddhism.
I’m not sure why such phenomena have emerged in Vietnam, where the majority of people traditionally worship Buddhism as a religion rather than following its teachings. However, perspectives are now shifting toward personal practice and deeper understanding. Thanks to the information available on the internet, more people are gaining insight into Buddhism and gravitating toward its true teachings.
@azndragon75 I was born in a multicultural society and had many opportunities coming in contact with Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. I studied them all (the latter two to a lesser entent), and I chose Buddhism for it is not a religion or a philosophy, it is something that we can relate to in our daily lives.
I would like to share my Buddhism journey with viewers who are interested in the subject.
In Buddhism teaching, we feel with the heart(mind). Learning Buddhism is to learn how to purify our hearts, free from greed, anger and recognise the truth around us.

do not put blames on others, we must discover our inadequacies, analyse and recognise all the truths around us.
一切喜怒哀樂都是自己造成
It is the "self" within ourselves that created our pleasure, anger, sorrow, and joy.
生命是一種回聲
Life is an echo to the deeds that we do.
你幫助的人越多 , 你得到的回馈越多
The more you help without expectations, the more you will receive in return.
佛陀点亮我们的心灯，是唤醒我们的良心，看到我们的无知。 他希望我们拥抱宽容，无私，爱和慈悲，并准备给予。
Buddha lights up our heart lamp is to awake our conscience to see our ignorance. He wants us to embrace tolerance, selflessness, love and compassion, and ready to give.
他希望我们放弃抓取和自我为的欲望；摆脱依恋和固执；远离贪婪，愤怒和无知。
He wants us to forgo grapping and our ego-centered desires; free ourselves from attachments and stubbornness; stay away from greed, anger, and ignorance.
他教导我们认识到什么是业力，并知道宇宙的真理和生命的现实。要谨慎我们的三妙行 - 行动，言语和思想。
He teaches us to recognize what karma is and to know the truth of the universe and the reality of life. Be prudent with our actions, speeches and thoughts.
他强调不要害怕死亡，并将其与一切的无常联系起来。
He illiterates that death is not to be afraid of, and relate it to the impermanence of everything.
Buddha's teachings have been reflected in many well-known patriarchs' practices throughout China, past and present.
"The Awakening the World 醒世词" is one of them.

@@chrisrichardson8988 Are the Universe and Dharma one and the same ? I don't think Buddha replied in that way .

2:00The Buddha never answered such questions as to when,how,why or who created the universe. Because it wasn't conducive to ending suffering. He related a story in regards to this of a man who was shot by an arrow. When the physician came to attend and fix his wound the man said I will not let you treat me until I know who shot the arrow,what caste was he from,is he rich or poor and many other conditions.

It's generally the philosophies basic dictum that a majority of people are blind, and only a few have the luck and want to see the light.

But, if Buddhism was followed by everyone to some extent the world would be more peaceful that's the fact. Thank You!!!!
Exactly .. as Dalai Lams mentioned in his book The Art of Happiness, people can keep practicing the religion they grow up or attach with, learn Buddhist teaching to attain enlightenment or get out of ignorance.
the problem with western people is that yall tend to turn everything into a fascist statement when everybody must follow and obey rules, turning enlightment into dogma. Buddhism should be followed by those capable of understanding it.
Buddha is wise, thats why he said that each people has their own paths, it is of no use to force people to follow something like what abrahamics does
Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism".

“The Universe has NO Beginning and NO END” (GAUTAMA BUDDHA)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s fascinating how different cultures interpret the universe. As Buddha said, “The Universe has NO Beginning and NO END.” 🌌 Namo Buddhaya!
As a Buddhist for half a century, I would advise this channel not to compare, who is more profound !! A differentiating mind is the root of problems !! Some people like this and some like the other !
thank you for your feedback. I know that, but if i would not have put that in title, maybe nobody would have seen the video. But i hear you brother.
I can appreciate your peaceful approach but I think there’s some real problems with nodding our heads in allowing others to delude themselves into qualifying harmful views against others. Discourse and debate can exist and I think through this practice we can see humanity become healthier rather than stagnant and allow others to get away with harming others.
We all have the very important ability to discern. Deciding what is good and what is bad. Now, at the End of Times, people have lost that ability, very sad. Different schools of Buddhism brings us to different levels of spiritual attainment. The one that brings us to the highest level is Falun Dafa(The Great Way).........truthfulness-compassion-tolerance.

There is a Westerner, mathematician, and philosopher named Alfred North Whitehead, who, about 100 years ago, wrote several books, articles, etc. putting forth an idea of the "universe" in which the laws of cause and effect permeate everything and that what is called "the Divine" is the sum total of all organized societies (human bodies are societies, trees are societies, cells are societies, etc.) and that each make choices based on the impact of past choices, both individual and collective which leads to event outcomes. All is in relation to everything else and from that sentience arises. The "Divine society" knows all the "possible outcomes" of any decisions but until the sentient being makes that decision, it knows no more than the being in question. Hence, "God" is not omnipotent. Whitehead was trying to outline a cosmology which reconciled the new quantum mechanics with an understanding that goes beyond traditional Western fixed state science. Many criticized Whitehead and subsequent philosophers of his thinking of drifting into Buddhism albeit from a Western lens. More current theologians in both Judaism and Christianity have started to use his tool to examine their own traditions through the window offered by Siddhartha 2500 years ago. They, of course, have their critics, but it is often interesting how deep wisdom can cross cultural barriers and come from unexpected sources.

I am a loyal Buddhist. Buddha said that he was just a human like us. He was not a divine. He asked us to follow and practice his teachings. I pray to Buddha every morning because I respect his teaching. I believe karma. I don't believe that I can be saved if I say I believe xxxxx before I die. I believe relive. I have strong vivid evidence that my late father and late sister have relive in my family and are living very close to me because I love my father and my sister very much. I am not allowed to lie.

Your dedication to Buddha's teachings and belief in karma is deeply inspiring. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt perspective. Om Shanti Om

What is a disloyal Buddhist? Falun Dafa can put you on a much more righteous path.
The Buddha taught not every question has an answer relevant to life. The parable of the monk shot with an arrow pretty much covers it.
Absolutely! The parable emphasizes the importance of focusing on what truly matters in life. Sometimes, seeking answers can distract us from living fully in the present. Thanks for highlighting this valuable teaching! Namaste

It's not creation myth, it's the scientific truth.
In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth after eons of life times of purification of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist texts "Pali Thripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universes are "energies" with influence of the "elements" under "causality". The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the "Human heart " organ as electrical wave signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy" which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "sub conscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy called "kamma/karma in Buddhism.

@@CharlieBrooks-tk3no There is only one Way. It is Falun Dafa (The Great Way). The book Zhuan Falun is on line. I am not looking for a debate or argument, take it or leave it, good luck. We here on Earth live in the dimension between cells and planets. Another dimension is between molecules and atoms, another may be quarks and neutrinos and thousands of other dimensions both larger and tinier. Anything that exists contains matter. That is why a guru can read our thoughts because our thoughts consist of super microscopic particles of matter. The smaller the particle, the greater its energy. Split a molecule, nothing, split an atom, boom. This decrease in size continues countless times until the soul. Just imagine the energy of that particle. And it is that energy that heats all the other particles up to our cells. Another tidbit. All thought originates only in the soul, the brain takes orders from the soul, just like the cockpit of an aircraft, the soul is the pilot.

Thanks so much for this video. It gave me so much to think about.
Buddhist says that there are only two entity in the existence.
1. The spirit or the wisdom and
2. The entire external Cosmos.
The wisdom is abstract and is not subjected to five senses. It continuously cycle in three stages. a). Birth, death and intermediate stages.
b) The cosmos continuously cycles in four stages.
1. Formation
2. Existance
3. Desintegeration
4. Dissolution
Time span of each stages are as this :
Dissolved.....
Countless Trillions of years.
Formation 10 percent of above.
Existance...some billion years.
Desintegeration....hundreds of billion years.
Wisdom, or spirit ;
As soon as one has complete purifies his mind. The cycle of birth, death and Bhardo ( an intermediate stage) ends and obtained pure wisdom mind.
That is called supreme God, Allah, Enlightend one or
Ultimate Quantum reality!
Since the basis of entire entity or cosmos are pure light. The claim of Cristian and Islam can be justified.
Scientists themselves believed that every thing is evolved from Dark matter, pure light or Quarks. Both belives that there is very powerfull pure light and that pure light is, Buddha, God, Allha or pure. Light or Quark!

What I took from this video is basically how Mother Earth provided a land of abundance initially for all to survive peacefully but then greed set in amongst a few who took food etc away from others to hoard which basically started a fight for survival amongst many due to shortages of what was needed to survive.
The greed has stayed with us throughout time allowing those with more than they need to conquer those less fortunate.
Greed still plays the biggest problem for mankind, the oil rich countries control the output of oil and gas to keep them rich, big pharma feeds us lies and medicines which don’t cure the causes only elevate the symptoms although there has been an eradication of some terrible diseases due to the wonders of medicine so there are many positives as well as many very wealthy people. Food production is controlled worldwide by only a few massive conglomerates who control seed prices, fertiliser costs etc and eventually the final cost of what ends up on the supermarket shelves. The rich have got richer and the poor still struggle on. Avarice is the root of all evil, just my thoughts
Excellent thoughts resonate with me perfectly

In Buddhism,
As it's mentioned that there are 31 realms of existence, in our Galaxy.
1.The 4 Hells
2.Human Realm
3.Six Celestial Realms
4.Twenty Supermundane Celestial Brahma Realms.
Among the Celestial Realms you find the Ruler Gods and the less powerful Gods as well.
Lord Buddha never denied the existence of Gods(Plural).
And all beings have the potential ability to become a God head or even Attain Buddhahood by accumulating an enormous amount of Merit(Wholesome Karma)
Also Karma(Commitments) is your creator.
Wholesome Karma gives you rewards in heaven and the Bad Karma will drag you down to Hell. And therefore Buddhist don't blame God when evil things happen, you accept the misery as a result of your own bad Karma
May all beings be well and Happy!
The problem here is notion of good and bad is very subjective and keeps changing from culture to culture in every century so How does karma decides whats bad and whats good
First of all KARMA means your own commitments and they're both Wholesome and Evil. As in the Bible it's you shall Reap what you Sow😊
May all beings be free! Thanks for sharing my dear friend. Om shanti.

The origin of ‘Zen’ is obviously Chan and is simply the assimilation of Buddhist teachings within a pre-existent Daoist culture. Even before the advent of Buddhism there are references to psychological meditative techniques in China, notably in the classic text, Zhuangzi, which mentions ‘xinzhai’, fasting the mind and ‘zuowang’, sitting in oblivion. From that basis Dao and Buddhist practices had great similarities .

"You said, 'Imagine a world which unfolds without divine commands but through natural processes.' Where will these natural processes originate? What, in your view, constitutes 'natural' in a context where no predefined laws or frameworks exist?
If everything is purely natural, what is the initial impulse or force that sets natural laws into motion?
How do you define "natural" when you assume a scenario devoid of any metaphysical or divine involvement?
What specific 'laws of nature' are you referencing when, in this hypothetical scenario, no underlying reality or laws pre-exist? How do such laws emerge without a guiding principle or initiator?
Can something as complex as laws of nature arise spontaneously without an overarching framework or architect?
Are these laws deterministic, and if so, who or what determines them?
In your 'dependency theory,' upon what exactly do the dependents rely? Can an infinite regress of dependencies truly exist without ultimately pointing to a source?
Are there limits to this dependency chain, or is there a necessary being or first cause that terminates the chain?
If dependencies are contingent, what is the nature of the necessary being or uncaused cause that underlies them?
If an uncaused cause is inevitable in your framework, what qualifies this uncaused cause? What characteristics does this 'first cause' possess?
How does your first cause differ from a divine or metaphysical entity, if at all?
Can an uncaused cause exist within purely naturalistic boundaries, and how would that resolve the need for an initiator of cause-and-effect relationships?
You referred to 'modern scientific understanding.' Which specific branches or theories of science support your claims?
Are you drawing upon theories like quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, or the theory of relativity?
How do these theories address ultimate questions of existence and the origins of natural laws?
What are the laws of cause and effect that govern primordial processes, especially in a context where no pre-existing order is acknowledged?
If these laws emerge from nothing, how does that not violate the principle of sufficient reason?
How do you account for consistency and continuity in the development of such laws if there is no intentionality behind their emergence?
When you differentiate between 'divine' and 'laws,' how do you define these terms? What is the nature of their separation in your understanding?
Is there room for a divine entity that exists outside natural laws but can still influence or govern them?
Can laws truly function in an orderly fashion without any metaphysical grounding or overarching intelligence?
How do you conceptualize God in this framework? Why do you see God as a 'person' rather than a "force/cause/power/intelligence" and what evidence or philosophical reasoning leads to this perception?
You mentioned the cosmic cycle of 'expansion and contraction' and implied that this resembles modern scientific theories of cosmic evolution. How do you reconcile or contrast this concept with descriptions found in religious texts, such as the Quran or Torah?
For instance, the Quran references expansion (Quran 51:47) and creation’s repetition (Quran 30:27, 10:34). How do these descriptions compare to modern scientific ideas of cosmic evolution or the Big Bang?
Are these ancient texts and scientific theories mutually exclusive, or could they be complementary descriptions of the same phenomena?
You suggest that Holy Writs like the Torah, Gospel, or Quran don’t contain similar ideas of cosmic expansion and contraction. Is it possible that your interpretation overlooks these references, or do you view them as metaphorical rather than literal truths?
Could your position on these scriptures be based on a limited understanding of their content, or is there a deliberate philosophical stance that differentiates them from modern science?
What or who, in your understanding, drives the expansion and contraction of the universe? Is it purely mechanical, or do you acknowledge any form of agency or causality behind these cosmic processes?
If you argue for a naturalistic, cyclical process, how do you account for the initiation of these cycles?
Does the universe's tendency to expand and contract suggest the need for an external force or intelligence, or is it entirely self-sustaining?
If modern science speaks of forces like gravity, dark matter, or quantum fluctuations behind cosmic phenomena, how do you reconcile these with the metaphysical or theological concept of a 'prime mover' or 'uncaused cause'?
Can natural laws, which govern the cosmos, function independently of any higher authority, or do they ultimately point toward something beyond mere physicality?
Do you see any possible intersection where theology and science might offer complementary views on the origins and functioning of the universe?
Thank you McFarah for your detailed comment. You've raised some profound questions about the nature of existence, natural laws, and the origins of the universe, which merit a thorough and nuanced discussion.
I’ll do my best to address your points within the scope of the ideas I presented, while acknowledging that these topics often extend beyond the boundaries of scientific and philosophical inquiry.
When I spoke about the world unfolding through “natural processes,” I was referring to phenomena explained by scientific theories, such as quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and relativity. These branches of science describe the behavior of matter, energy, and fundamental forces without invoking divine intervention. In this context, the term "natural" refers to processes and laws observable in our universe-those that can be tested, measured, and explained by empirical evidence.
As for where these natural processes originate, this is indeed one of the ultimate mysteries. The question of what initiates natural laws or what constitutes the “first cause” has been explored by both metaphysical philosophy and physics. While some argue for a necessary being or uncaused cause, modern science often approaches this from a perspective of emergent phenomena. Theories like quantum fluctuations suggest that something can arise from what we perceive as "nothing," though this concept of nothingness may still contain underlying energy or potential.
Regarding the question of laws spontaneously arising without a guiding principle or architect, it's important to note that many physicists propose that the laws of physics may themselves be contingent or emergent from more fundamental structures. Some theories, such as string theory or the multiverse hypothesis, suggest that what we perceive as the "laws of nature" may vary across different potential realities. In this view, these laws are not necessarily determined by an external entity but could emerge from deeper layers of physical reality, even if we don’t yet fully understand their origin.
When it comes to the "dependency theory" you referenced, the question of infinite regress is a classic philosophical dilemma. Some propose that there must be a stopping point, a necessary being or principle from which everything else depends. Others, however, suggest that infinite regress is not necessarily problematic and that the chain of dependencies could be part of a larger, self-sustaining system. This is an open question in both philosophy and cosmology, and it’s one where different frameworks, from theism to atheism, offer competing views.
As for the comparison between ancient religious texts and modern scientific theories like cosmic expansion, I agree that there are interesting parallels between certain religious descriptions and current scientific models. For example, the Quran’s mention of expansion (Quran 51:47) can be seen as aligning with the modern understanding of an expanding universe. Whether these similarities are coincidental, metaphorical, or literal truths is a matter of interpretation. While religious texts may contain symbolic language or metaphorical descriptions, modern science relies on empirical observation and mathematical models. Some people view these as complementary, while others see them as separate ways of understanding the universe.
Ultimately, my perspective on these matters is one of curiosity and openness. I believe that both science and theology offer valuable insights into the nature of existence, though they approach the question from different angles. I appreciate your challenge to think deeper, and I encourage continued exploration of these profound mysteries.
Om Shanti Om. In sha allah!

In any rational framework, an effect cannot exist without a cause. This is a fundamental axiom both in philosophy and natural sciences. Whether the chain of cause-and-effect relationships is infinite or finite, the existence of the chain itself requires an initial cause.
This "first cause" must be uncaused. If it were caused, it would itself be an effect, and the chain would regress infinitely without ever arriving at an origin. Hence, the first cause must, by necessity, be self-sustaining, uncaused, and exist outside the chain of contingent causes. Without this first cause, such a relationship would never have initiated in the first place.
2. The Role of Information in Existence:
All of existence, from the molecular structure of DNA to the vast complexity of the cosmos, is governed by information. Information, by its nature, implies order, structure, and meaning.
Information does not arise from randomness or chaos. It points to the presence of intelligence behind its creation. Whether we observe the intricacies of biological life or the fine-tuning of universal constants, the presence of structured, meaningful information suggests an intelligent source. Random processes do not generate complex and purposeful information without guidance.
As Buddhist myth of our religion is science not only order and faith we must practice by ourselves for prove the theory of his teaching
I have been Buddhism my whole life. This is what Buddhism meant in the simple way- life is endless circle of reincarnation. If you do bad things in this life you will suffer in your next life. Buddhism is about finding a way out of the endless circle of reincarnation. To put it in a really simple way- what goes around comes around. If you do bad you will suffer. So the best thing is to do nothing. Cut ties with everyone and everything and meditate in solitude until you gain enlightenment. It looks easy but remember to cut ties with everything is not an easy job cut ties like your all your emotions (no happiness, no sadness, no anger, etc.
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful summary! The path to enlightenment is indeed challenging, and as you said, finding freedom from attachment and karma takes deep dedication. 🙏
The happiest people I know are the most generous and the most miserable people I know are the most selfish.
When religion hijacked mysticism, it became a tool for control, particularly as reading learning and communication were limited to only a few in the audience. Stripped of local symbology, most belief systems at their core bear significant similarities, differing mainly in labels. Old Aeon mindsets are being dismantled now faster than before and the division between Science and Faith is demonstrably less distinct. The old Magicians always knew this, as do the new ones
wow, amazing sharing, thanks for adding that wisdom Tagomago. Sending you love and blessings.
The esoteric truths in religion lead to oneness
As all things are put on the scale the language of harmony can be understood by all things, no matter its position - before - during and after.
beautifully said. Om mani padme hum!
Buddha had visionary understanding of the universe , life , etc.
Absolutely! Buddha's insights into the nature of existence continue to inspire many. It's amazing how his teachings resonate across cultures and time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 🌌💫 Namo buddhaya
What if someone witnessed miracles in life? What are miracles and how they occur?
But where do the "natural processes" come from originally? Do they self-create? How do they do this? 💙
very profound question... evolution?
@@mayawisdom888 Sure... but how does it start and why? Is there an explanation? Or is it just considered an unknowable mystery? 💙
Even if there is the causa prima, it will be different than bible god. The channel owner could read about brahmajala sutta and the story of brahma bakka to get more insight about it.
Your voice is listenable & magnetic.
Thank you Swamy. Sending love and blessings.
Buddhism as described by you is close to discussions I’ve had with Buddhist priests and ministers. However many branches of Buddhism are closer to Abrahamic and other religions where the central figure(s) are the conduit to heaven. I’d even go farther and say a majority of Buddhists are taught there definitely is an afterlife. Is this a subject you might be interested in discussing?
Definitely! It's interesting to see how different branches of Buddhism view concepts like the afterlife. I'd love to discuss this more!
If a human is able to look inwards , and is able to find his own happiness .... and if the religion he practices... helps him with the same....It's a life worthy to be called a Life in one's lifetime.
thanks for your comment. It matters. Namaste!
@@mayawisdom888 Thank you and wish you well
Pls refer to surangama sutra chapter 4 on the illusory arisal of primordial elements, universes, and sentient beings
thank you for sharing your feedback my dear friend. Namaste!

The problem with accepting the natural process as the answer to the universe, it that sin is a natural process too, and such, there is less reason to label sin as evil.
yeah that makes sense, very insightful. Namaste friend!
Sin is part of the natural process as much as death is. Buddhism is about finding the way to a place beyond it, Nirvana. It doesn't matter weather we accept that a god created this world of it was created through natural process, fact is we will still suffer the same, we will still die the same. What is important is that he asks you to find your own truth, without believing whats written in a book, be it he who wrote or another.
Religion itself becomes incomplete without any verbal scientific explanations on it.. Religions becomes significant only when science doesn't have any further analysis of it.
thank you for sharing your wisdom. It matters. Namaste!
When anybodies are told they 'need' to believe in a God to be saved. One must be very cautious of that religion. NO ONE should ever be told to 'believe or ELSE!' Always question authority.
The path to the temple is the temple. Awareness flows eternal and infinite.
Beautifully said! The journey itself holds the deepest truth. Thank you for sharing this wisdom. 🌟
I love the east. Everything is exceptional and not without compromising compassion.
thank you for sharing Samyag. Thats why i live here...
This comment is not in reference to this particular video, it is in reference to an absolute assertion in the description of this channel on it's subscription page. > Two people can 'not' live exactly the same life. In fact, identical twins with the exact same genitic makeup and raised in the same family and household cannot live exactly the same life, neither internally nor externally. This is a ridiculous absolute assertion that can be easily disproved.
Hello my friend, thank you so much for pointing that out. I will have a look at it. Namaste!
@@mayawisdom888 Yes, thank you. I would be very wary, cautious, skeptical of any absolutisms. When thoroughly examined and thought through critically with openness and humility, these types of absolute statements are almost always realized to be false. Namaste 🙏🏽💙🙏🏽
Different schools of Buddhism brings us to different levels of spiritual attainment. The one that brings us to the highest level is Falun Dafa(The Great Way).........truthfulness-compassion-tolerance.
thanks for sharing your insights. i had never heard of the falun dafa.
It's a cult ngl
The highest teaching of Buddha is Abhidhamma...
Absolutely, the Abhidhamma offers profound insights into the mind and consciousness. It's such a deep aspect of Buddha’s teachings. 🙏 Namo Buddhaya!
I believe there is a lacking in suggesting gaining insight through meditation. I believe some guidance to attempting this progress is essential.
Aho. Thanks for sharing. I agree.
All the guidance is online?
religion that believes in god is eternal imprisonment
Buddhism is the practice of finding truth in order to find the way to freedom.
Absolutely! Buddhism encourages exploration and understanding, empowering individuals to seek their own truths and paths to freedom. Thank you for sharing your perspective 🌱 Namo Buddhaya!
Most relatively modern religion,s hinder the process of growth, by taking away the responsibility of our mistakes, through neverending forgiveness, which is ignoring the mechanism of personal Karma ,,
Absolutely! Taking responsibility for our actions is essential for personal growth and understanding the concept of karma. Thanks for sharing your insights!
I believe Buddhist is the improvement of God. No one in the world has seen God with their eyes, except prophets (maybe), and all prophets are messenger.
that is an insightful comment, love it. Om Shanti Om!
hvor ble det av teksten ? bare prat jo
ok my brother
is full 12 minutes all repeating same sentence in a different way? Is all of this video just repeating of similar sentences? Could it be possible this is repeating same sentence in a different way? Were you not intentionally repeating same sentence in a different way?
haha thats funny, yeah i agree that i could have been more to the point in some parts, thank you for pointing that out.
The Buddha exist bc long2 ago. He has already established the dhama to guide humanity towards wisdom & achieving Enlightenment through his dhama (timeless)
thanks for adding that friend, beautiful.
Im a Christian but i also follow Buddhist teachings
All things being equal, Buddhism version should be more accurate based on the fact that Buddha and Buddhist spent lots of time meditating to tap into their own minds and universe.
I agree! Buddhism places a deep focus on self-awareness and inner exploration through meditation, which allows for a profound understanding of the mind and the universe. It's this dedication to mindfulness and introspection that makes the teachings so insightful :)
Very interesting....for many years I've thought about the traditional creation God belief;how could a being have always existed before making the universe?where would this being have been...since no place existed yet?
Well said! its beautiful to think about. Thank you for sharing.
Buddhism in my heart
I was raised in a strict Catholic family and about the same time I stopped believing in Santa Clause I stopped believing in a religious god. I consider myself an agnostic and doubt very seriously there’s life after death, so I better enjoy it while I’m here.
I do believe meditation can change my brain chemistry by repeating a few prayers, however, I’m not petitioning a god or listening to a god, I’m reminding myself to be more aware how I treat people and avoid behavior that is selfish. I found when I do meditation I’m a happier person and less likely to an asshole.
The happiest people I know are the most generous and I don’t mean necessarily materialistically, to the contrary the most miserable people I know are the most selfish.
It's great that meditation brings you peace and helps you focus on kindness. Wishing you continued happiness! 🙏😊
The sequence of the Bible's creation account aligns with our current scientific knowledge, fossil records, and other evidence. Only the true God can reveal this truth to us.
God, who exists outside of time, space, and matter, began His creative work in the universe.
*First day* - The beginning of creation includes the earth, sun, moon, and our galaxy. The earliest and simplest life forms began in the water. [Genesis 1:1-5]
*Second day* - A cloudy atmosphere formed, with most of the water in the form of vapor (i.e., water above). The earth was still hot at this early stage of creation. [Genesis 1:6-8]
*Third day* - Some of the water vapor began to condense, forming seas, and land appeared as continents. Vegetation and algae began to grow. Water vapor acted as a greenhouse, protecting the plants. [Genesis 1:9-13]
*Fourth day* - Water vapor fully condensed, and the sky became clear. The lights from the sun, moon, and stars fully penetrated the earth's surface, allowing for the establishment of various seasons. [Genesis 1:14-19]
*Fifth day* - Sea creatures were created first, followed by winged birds. [Genesis 1:20-23]
*Sixth day* - Land animals (mammals) and humans were created. [Genesis 1:24-31]
*Seventh day* - God finished His active creation and rested. We are still in the seventh day. [Genesis 2:1-3].
And about the creation of humans, "And the Lord God formed the man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" Genesis 2:7. This is not very scientific.
What does Egyptian hieroglyphs have to do with Buddhism, yea?.................................
Interesting question! While Egyptian hieroglyphs and Buddhism stem from different cultures, they both explore themes of spirituality and human experience in unique ways. It's fascinating to see how various traditions connect and influence one another :)
It ain't a creation story if it doesn't involve a creator.
the almighty creator
Yeah, it's the origin of human. Not the creation of human.
It's a counter proposal to the creation story, that's why the title says 'creation myth'.
If it is so, then how math and natural laws appeared?
There is a problem: math and natural laws are unchanged, unchangeable, undeletable, uncreated and permeates every point in time space continuum. Remember that time measure change(s). So no change, no time....
So any "evolution" of any kind, can't happen before the math and natural laws.
On the other hand if math and natural laws would be changing, then also 1 of the basic math axiom would be subject to changes... If this particular axiom would be subject to change, then NO knowledge of any kind would be possible.
This axiom states: Any single thing (with NO exception) is equal to itself (at any given moment in time space continuum).
Now if this axiom is changeable, then no identification system is possible, no communication system is possible, so no math robustness, because math would be also changing... So in short, no knowledge would be possible.
But math and natural laws are unchanged, unchangeable, undeletable, uncreated and permeates every point in time space continuum. How do you explain their existence?
Great question! The unchanging nature of math and natural laws is indeed fascinating-it’s as if they form the very fabric of our universe. Many philosophers and scientists ponder this mystery too! 🙏
This account of beginning relates so much with bible creations story
thank you for sharing Bartman. Om mani padme hum!
In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth after eons of life times of purification of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist texts "Pali Thripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universes are "energies" with influence of the "elements" under "causality". The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the "Human heart " organ as electrical wave signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy" which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "sub conscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy called "kamma/karma in Buddhism.
And it is not only one universe that exist but exists many ones. Maybe it is unlimited and never ends.
i think i agree.
In agganna sutra it says that our souls came from another place in the universe and when the world destroys our souls doesnt destroys. It's a great sutra that cope with Science. A non buddhist should read it.
I didn’t know there was a contest between the 3 beliefs…. Hmmm….
Great point! Each belief system offers its own unique insights and wisdom. It's fascinating to explore the different perspectives rather than compete. Thanks for sharing!
