    Flying from my home country of Canada for a total of six months in south east Asia, I had the privilege of visiting both the Temple of the Emerald Buddha Wat Phra Kaew, , and also the great reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Simply amazing. So many fantastic temples in Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and other places. In my 60’s I went for Refuge in the Triple Gem and took the Five Precepts at a Theravada Buddhist temple.
    I’m 70 now, and have to return to Cambodia and Thailand soon….and spend the rest of my life there, die and have a Buddhist funeral and cremation.
    I’m home in Buddhism. Namo Buddhaya. 🙏🏼 ☸️ 🌴

      All religions come from the universe. That is the universal truth of Lord Buddha.. But in this ira we are unable to find Nirwaana... That is Time crossing.. Fortunately here in sri lanka now future lord buddha is living (as Bodhisathwa, Awalokitheswara/ Amithabha/ Mathriya) and has explained even dark energy to modern society still even scientists can not be found. Lord buddha is the greatest philosopher in the world and now we have our future lord buddha has come here for world changing.. These sermons are merely marvelous and explained all science that we have to follow for nirwaana or doctrine. This is the Universal truth.. This is the deep science which explained by every lord buddha..He has power called Diyasen power which all Buddhas' acquired and there is no word to say that this is the real way one who should follow the nirwaana path. As a one who i follow this path i can purely explained this buddha's path is fully correct with no doubt. Bcos when we after having this Buddha' s blessing we find the truth and his blessing changed our whole life and started to talk the nature with us. That is amazing experience that i have obtained. Pure guaidance and verble blessing of Buddha' must take if someone want to grant this sacred gem. I kindly request all over the people those who searching Nirwaana and take this nobel gift. 💔 joint with mydiyasen. com..
      May triple gem bless you all.

    Non Buddhist think Buddhism stops to only a certain point of Human abilities, they think its only a philosophy and a guide or a some kind of a mere culture to live a peaceful yogic or meditation Life and thats aboit it 😅 / 😢😢😢 really Sad .
    And many simply lives in confusion coz the more they dig into it , the more they can't take the depthness or the weight of its Profound Wisdom Buddhism Offers ...
    which goes beyond Gods , beyond a mere Philosophy or some religious tag given by People as they given the same tags every other Teachings ....😢😢
    Very Unfortunate 😢😢😢
    May Lord Buddha be with all and guide them with all the wisdom and compassion in every sentient beings heart ❤️

War is deeply regrettable, to think that people's in the past having that war for such cause even more deeply regrettable. However it's doesn't dwindle the Dharma contain in Ramayana story, and it's moral value is still beyond argument. So I don't understand in what ways this video is pathetic 😅
      Rama/Shinta or Romeo/Juliet is romance between human through adversity. Millions of people have been born and died, billions more will be born and also died. While not knowing what they will go through in life's and not knowing what await them after death, they do all sorts of religious practices. This could be romance between transcendental & Descendents being through times. Take a sit, be the audience outside the story, enjoy the show with some sip of tea (or vodca if you prefer) 🍻

    I was arrested on a military installation. I was wanting to mail a letter from 'their' post office because I could not be guaranteed that identical letters with our town's post office OR UPS. They took me to a Federal prison so that I could await arraignment, pre-trial, public hearing, and trial. In this facility there was a publication that referenced 'Sound of dharma'. Scramble those letters and there is 'hard Ma'. They had a person who had the same name as my mother AND her husband was in the police station on the military installation. In the 'facility' they put some ribs out of place and an additional scar to my face. Used scotch tape to cover the opening. The guard in the dispensary looked like a City Councilman . . .

      If you paid attention to anything Buddhists beliefs are above God as it's not actually a religion but the law of nature. It's about common sense if you meditate on truth anyone would come to the same conclusion actually. Also there's one God and it's the same God just with different names as that's the result of language and geography. But God, a God, or any God doesn't ignorantly or with hate announce itself as a dictator would like you are. You have clearly missed the message your interpretation of God was sending. One thing that every single religion has in common is to love your neighbor. You must have missed that day huh? Stop being so ignorant and leave this video and thread if you can't learn from it or add to it. And any real Muslim wouldn't make an announcement that only terrorists make. Is that your future? I hear those guys don't live long and never meet a virgin in life or after. Foolish sad little person. One more thing God is everything and everyone including trees animals sand clouds everything is connected and is one. That's the real power in "God".

    A nice journey. The ultimate realities mentioned in Buddhism:
    1.) Matter/Rupa (4 great fundamental forms + 24 derived material forms)
    ii.) Cetasika/Chaitasika (52 Mental Factors/fields of emotions)
    iii.) Citta (mind moment)
    iv.) Nibbana (timeless/unconditioned state or moment)
    Those teachings are much deeper/fundamental than modern science. I could discover those fundamental realities theoretically using a new type of mathematics. But the Buddha could discover those fundamental elements and processes with the power of his mind.

    Buddhism is a philosophy and not a culture it's origin is Sanyasa of Hinduism. It is like math to physics. It is an abstract mental concept and not a culture like Hinduism is. The attempt by the west to replace the popularity of Hinduism with its, Yoga, Ayurveda, Bhakti yoga (ISKCON) is futile.

      I am from the west. I was born and raised in the rural American south. Buddhism lives here, not in yoga centers or self taught gurus, but in the sangha and the monks who dedicate their lives to spreading compassion where it is scarce. Buddhas teaching gives me hope, he is a magnet that keeps me secure to the earth even when I feel there is no gravity. I do not know why as a westerner, a single person, I must feel shame for embracing buddhas true teaching. There are Americans smart enough to see past deceit, you know….

    Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter. This is in line with Buddhist teachings.

      You have limited intellect because
      1). The butchers are not so stupid to kill for your pleasure. They kill for their greed of money and love for their job.
      2). Sentient beings don't get reborn as animals and lower realms if they didn't create the relevant causes. So they are not here to enjoy a well deserved holiday.
      3). Even mundane worldly laws also recognise that offenders cannot be made to pay for damages that are too remote from their offense.

      ​​@@spirittwo7381 Think about it this way, how many things are you maybe killing or causing suffering to everyday? You don't really know do you? But it's happening. It happens all the time. Try to apply that same logic that you do with the Buddhist who eats meat towards your own actions and behavior. Start to trace everything you consume everyday and you may find that the conditions for how those things came to be caused some sort suffering or death for someone or something. The difference: a Buddhist is mindful, we understand that we can't live in this body and not have some sort of unfavorable impact on our environment. You say we are delusional, but I would say that delusional would be in the thinking that we don't have that impact and that all our actions are a benefit to all.
      No one is doing what they do with bad intentions in mind and that is the point. You also have to realize that a monastic especially can't be picky about the food they eat. Monks have a symbiotic relationship with the community. The are not allowed to grow, keep, or cook food. Everyday they collect alms and they are not allowed to cause a burden by requesting food that they like. Since most people consume meat then so do the monks. I believe that if lay people gave monks strictly vegetarian food it would be easier for them to not eat meat. As for the Lay-Buddhists who eat meat, well we try to follow the precepts the best we can but who really follows all of them perfectly? Not many, not as easy for us worldlings. But just because we don't do one thing very well doesn't mean we don't contribute good at other times.

    There is no word like dharma in Buddhism. It's dhamma and pali prakrit is older language of buddhism. Sanskrit was not used by Ashoka for propogating buddhism. He used Pali prakriti. Most western scholars are ignorant of this and have not studied Ashoka rock inscriptions andother sources of buddhism before commentary.

    • @tantrichill192
      @tantrichill192 Рік тому

      I totally agree with your point and have empathy in various branches of Buddha dhamma. Pali is early established language used in Theravada. However after Mahaparinirbana of Shakyamuni and the fall of Muriya dynasty of Ashoka, Sanskrit was the popular language in Indian sub-continent, It was widely spoken than Pali in many region.
      Masters from Nalanda such as Nagarjuna, Asanga, Basubanda, Shankyaakshita, Chandrakriti and Dharmakriti used Sanskrit. People easily resonated Buddha dhamma teachings in Sanskrit. Nagarjuna who burrowed the higher and well preserved teachings of Shakyamuni from Nagas used Sanskrit to teach "Pragyaparamitta" which also known as "Dhomang" in Tibetan. It made Mahayana and Vajrayana very popular after the revival of " Pragyaparamitta".

As I understand it there are and have been many western scholars working on trying to get correct translations of the Pali scriptures. In places like Oxford and Cambridge in England and other countries. Not sure where you got your idea from. These videos and the people speaking are clearly not western academics, nit scholars of oriental studies etc. Apparently there were originally misunderstandings of Buddhist teachings, ideas in the west when it was first introduced by western psychologists to the west. But since then I think western scholars and followers of Buddhism have tryed to correct those misunderstandings
