It leads you to nothing and when something bigger and out of your control comes against your Buddhism or whatever Spiritualism you a Tree attached to is nowhere to be found so you seep back into the same as you were before. Yet, you will continue to let it rule over you as long as you feel better abd don't have to take accountability for all that you've done. Floating around with no foundation is why you keep ending up dry and depressed. Theres no power outside of the Living God YHWH ELOHIM ADONAI and His Word. Youll continue on the same path of roller coaster emotions until you leave this Buddhist nonsense behind and follow the True Christ Yeshua and His commands by the Word of YHWH ELOHIM ADONAI. I hope this offends and cuts you deeply so that you will see what is really inside yourself instead of believing the lies that Buddhism tells you so that you continue into bondage of yourself and your imaginations having no real power to actually overcome the things of life.
I grew up Christian and I'm an atheist now. I do not believe in, or follow any religion, but I do align with many Buddhist principles. Thanks for posting this💚
I'm in my 30s and have always considered myself open to different ideas and beliefs. I've never heard teachings and practices that so align with my own natural way of thinking and seeing the world/myself as I've heard in this short audiobook. It's a really beautiful feeling. I'm very excited to learn more. Thank you for this.
I’m 61 been unhappy all my life, I started looking for my happiness and find that Buddhism sits right in my soul and feels so natural thank you for this book it’s a great help to understand my new road to happiness,
Hi Buddha said “ there is no road to happiness. Happiness is the road!” Living in the present is the key to happiness so instead of looking just feel it! 🙏❤️peace be with you🙏
Thank you for this book, I am a Buddhist. I'm here to learn Buddha's teachings in English, so I can share them with Thai people who care to learn about the Buddha’s teachings in English. It's helped me a lot. Thank you very very much. I appreciate your time and your knowledge.

I have followed buddhism for around 6 years due to depression and anxiety from divorce and I meditate daily. I’ve recently started a new job and I have been having very bad anxiety which I suffer from. Lots of doubts and overthinking about my ability to do this job and the training involved. This audiobook is helping to me to understand myself.
I want to be honest to you. I don’t know you, or your past. Why I do know is your human, be kind to yourself and others and you will achieve all you need.
I am a Buddhist, and I always tell people that Buddhism is not a religion but a school of science, specifically psychology, chemistry, and physics (quantum physics).
@@jonathanchimaras5428 May you find peace, wisdom, and happiness on your path. Congratulations on your achievement, and may it bring even more light and compassion into your life
Listening to this calm and humble voice is the opposite when commercial lies interrupt it. But it is a great example to compare the difference between Buddha and the world. Almost all humans under control of media and commercial lies that take you eternity to the Abyss. Positive is in consequence with negative, just be conscious. Conscious mind is a light shining into your heart.
The day I first had Buddhism explained to me in my year 9 religious studies class was the day my life changed. The practice of Buddhism has changed my life in every possible way, and I greatly recommend it to everyone. Amazing audiobook, also

Practically, atheist and buddhist are similar...am Buddhist and I was never force to attend buddha teaching in my life .nor by monks or family even they are so religious. But it's very important to find a good and qualified guru......
Buddhism does not have a god that controls. The only difference is that an atheist is sure that there is no god. In Buddhism, it doesn’t matter, what is important is that you are attaining peace within.
💐The Buddha's teachings set upright what has been overturned, they reval what has been hidden they are like a bright that shines out for people last in the darkness.🙏💐 I am Buddhism from Thailand 🇹🇭☺️
Im 15 and have felt lost within religion and althought buddhism isnt one, this is the only spiritual thing that has called to me, i have gotten into meditation and should be starting yoga soon so be more one in my body and inbthe present. You spoke beautifying and appreciate this video very much
I have been interested in Buddhism since the 1980s. But that last 3 or 4 years I have been trying to follow the tenets of Buddhism. It is very difficult -- but I am working on it every single day. I can see how Buddhism is the right way to live.
Thanks for sharing. Well explained and very informative. I'm living in my van and alone almost 100% of the time but rarely do I feel lonely as I have me, myself, I, and all the surrounding nature around me to get to know and enjoy. I meditate a lot...in many forms, sitting, standing, laying down. And I TRY not to let negative and toxic energy get into me.
This video is truly an amazing resource for anyone just beginning to explore Buddhism! The simple and straightforward presentation makes it easy to grasp the basic concepts without feeling overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing and spreading such positivity! 🙏🌸
I’ve been meditating for a yr almost every morning and before bed time and I am getting all benefits what this book is talking about slightly, gradually. It is not easy but if you stick with it you will know meditation is the most valuable challenge that can change your life.
I have been listening to this over and over for over a week now, and it has been exponentially helpful to me, as I fell off my path of practicing a couple of years ago, and have been wanting to get back into it, and I absolutely love this book.
Ive gotting into listening to gurus and budhism ALOT lately, theres something peaceful and grounding about it. Im trying to get into meditation also, if anyone here has any tips on beginners id very much appreciate it 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this, cannot begin to describe how meaningful it is to have discovered this. To whoever is reading this, may your journey be as meaningful as it has been for me ❤️
I'm in my 30s and have always considered myself open to different ideas and beliefs. I've never heard teachings and practices that so align with my own natural way of thinking and seeing the world/myself as I've heard in this short audiobook. It's a really beautiful feeling. I'm very excited to learn more. Thank you for this.
Buddhism is a mirror of Nature and the physical world....no dogma demanded, nor afterlife reward promised, no religious devotion required, no blind faith mandated,......... just use your mind and open it to questioning....
I dated a covert narcissist and am caught up in psychology to understand minds. This just leads to more grief as focus is placed on pathologies of myself and others. Staring at the problem is not the solution. Prayer, study and practice is the only way to peace and happiness. This is my pledge to return to a good life. The covert will not win.
I am thoroughly enjoying this. I'm bout 1/2 way through. It's broken down so nicely. Thank you for sharing this for anyone who wants to better understand what Buddhism is and what it is not. May live n light bless you all🙏🌻🕉
Although, if one needed to put a label on it I suppose you could say I am Christian, as I do strongly believe in and try to follow the teachings of Jesus, however when I read about Buddhism I see how much I just naturally live more of this lifestyle in many ways as well. I always say I am not a person learning how to be spiritual, I am a spiritual learning how to be a person. And I truly feel that way. I believe very much in kindness towards all living beings, to the very best of our ability. I also feel like if we set a goal to each day try to be a better human than we were the day before (no matter your faith or religion) , then we should always be on the right path ❤️
how Buddhism encourages individuals to rely not on blind faith, but on personal experience and practice. The Buddha's advice to his followers to test his teachings like goldsmiths test gold - by examination and not by faith alone - is frequently noted for its rational approach
I’m 2 minutes in and already getting the argumentation of truthfulness from retroactively apply science that we’ve leaned to philosophy from 2500 years ago. Open mind, open mind, open mind, open mind.
I am coming from Buddhist family. However, listening to this help me to reinforce of my belief in our lord the compassion one and his teachings. Thank you!
For the first time I meditated listening to this. I was able to push your voice to a back corner somewhere, where I could still hear you but I was focused on my breathing and relaxing my body. At some point a warmth and deep relaxation started in my chest and stomach and radiated outwards. The joy and love were so pure and pleasurable i cried for the first time in years. There was no sadness to it, I think I just couldn't deal with the intensity of the feeling. I started shaking a bit too. I can't believe this..thank you very much for sharing, this is changing my life already.
@@thelong-hairedleapinggnome7939 I'm new to it, all I can say is don't force it. You have to relax completely and let your random thoughts just kind of fade away. I have meditated several times since this happened and haven't reproduced that.. awakening or whatever it was. It's still changing me though. I'm different.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have been dealing with some things, and found some things that will help me. I explored Buddhism in my college days and look forward to learning more.
Hello, I just finished listening to Buddhism A Beginners Guidebook and must say it was enjoyable. Being insightful with thoughts on how to be mindful of oneself and others can be helpful with getting along with both. Thank you for your clarity.
Thank you so much I have join the path of Buddha in 2019 when my dad passed but where I live it's a little hard to be accepted as a Buddhist so thank you for the lesson and I plan to show others so I might have a way to share
as an heyoka from an Awakening (may '22), I hope all get to experience the referenced, *nirvana*, the feeling is incredible, *it* cannot be explained, and *it* hasn't gone away, it's* amazing, I'm so grateful for this journey. I really enjoyed this narration, this book. 💫🙏🕉
Absolutely. I feel peace with the many realizations that have come to me about myself through this fabulous book. Such heavy words. Simple but somewhat complicated. I personally became programmed to believe my unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, my patterns and negativity to others and of couse initially to myself. I embraced this unhealthy lifestyle. Suffering and more suffering I allowed/allow myself. Knowing that there is a more better and healthier way to learn differently from these past negative and hurtful ways is something I embrace. I feel relief and peace. It has been lacking in my life for many years. Cannot blame it on "being a blunt and right Scorpio" any longer💖🕊

This audio book is very insightful. How it all happens within us, and how to understand our mind and how meditation helps us. I am very happy because it is through meditation that I have been enlightened to a universal law. But I am still manifestating it. Thank you. Left a comment on Amazon !
Hello. I really liked your book Zen Buddhism: A Beginner's Guide Book On Achieving A Healthy And Happy Life Through Zen . It was available as an ebook in an application called Storytel in Turkey, but it was in English. I wanted to translate it into Turkish and I translated it. If you can help me, I would like to share it with Turkish people. I didn't want to do anything with the book without your permission. Very simple and effective way to explain what Zen is. It's written in a way can everyone understand what it is and what is the purpose in it. Well done sir.
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. So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.
I began listening to this, this morning whilst getting ready for a long journey I'm usually late for things and panic when it all falls apart. And I find myself listening to this in full, on time, early infact, at peace.
Jiddu krishnamurti, the first and last freedom, explains all this the best. There is no "gaining." that is mind, and mind is delusion/DESIRE. It can never help u. It is a trap. Thinking ur getting better at meditation is as lost as u can get. Time is mind and time is not "real." Forgive urself and ur practice. Enjoyed the book regardless, thanks for sharing! ☯️❤
@@jeffforsythe9514 wrote, _"Skip kindergarten altogether. All Buddhist schools up until now are at an elementary school level except Falun Dafa."_ Falun Gong, (Chinese: “Discipline of the Dharma Wheel”) also spelled Falungong, also called Falun Dafa, controversial Chinese spiritual movement founded by Li Hongzhi in 1992. The movement’s sudden prominence in the late 1990s became a concern to the Chinese government, which branded it a “heretical cult.” Falun Gong is an offshoot of qigong (Chinese: “discipline of the vital breath”), an amalgam of traditional medical and self-cultivation practices developed in the early 1950s by members of the Chinese medical establishment as part of an effort to promote traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in modern socialist China. Although some members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) attacked such practices for their “superstitious” nature as well as for their links to religion and spirituality, proponents of TCM managed to carve out a place for qigong and other similar therapies alongside biomedicine. Qigong was available in some clinics and sanatoriums in the 1950s and early ’60s but was banned during the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) for its “feudal” history. It received a new lease on life in the late 1970s, when a purported laboratory discovery of the material existence of qigong energy dovetailed with a fundamental change in state policy away from revolution and toward science and economic development. Overnight, qigong became “scientific,” a change in status that led to state approval for qigong activities. Out of this conjuncture developed the qigong boom, a roughly 20-year period, spanning the 1980s and ’90s, when hundreds of millions of Chinese were drawn to a wide variety of qigong schools and practices in the socially freer post-Mao Zedong era. The leading figures in the boom were charismatic qigong masters such as Yan Xin and Zhang Hongbao, who built nationwide organizations, sold qigong manuals, and gave talks in sports arenas and other large venues, which believers paid to attend. The masters were supported by qigong magazines and newspapers and by best-selling biographies of the masters themselves. Behind the scenes were government and military figures who believed that the study of qigong could be the key to creating a “Chinese science” that would expand human potential and propel China to the forefront of the developed world. Although average practitioners were likely to have been drawn to qigong for health reasons, other currents in the qigong movement included experiments with alleged paranormal phenomena and extrasensory perception (ESP) as well as a wide variety of spiritual and cultural pursuits. It should be emphasized, however, that most advocates of qigong regarded it as a self-cultivation practice with a scientific basis and not as a religion, which is heavily regulated in China. Although the qigong movement had high-level supporters, it also had detractors, who condemned qigong as superstition and chicanery. By the early 1990s such critics had gained the upper hand in swaying China’s political authorities. It was in an effort to restore the qigong movement’s flagging fortunes that Li Hongzhi in 1992 founded Falun Gong (“Discipline of the Dharma Wheel”), whose name referred to the revolving wheel that Li promised to install in his followers, purifying their bodies “in another dimension” and freeing them from bodily concerns. Li’s original message sought to dispel qigong’s associations with fraud and faith healing by emphasizing “higher-level cultivation.” He also initially gave his lectures free of charge, relying instead on sales of his books and other Falun Gong paraphernalia. Whether it was the message or the man, Falun Gong grew rapidly in popularity, and Li followed the familiar path of other charismatic qigong masters, giving dozens of well-attended high-profile talks and building a large nationwide organization between 1992 and 1995. Estimates of the number of Falun Gong’s adherents during this period vary greatly, ranging from about 2 million to 60 million. However, the advent of Falun Gong did not end criticism of the qigong movement, whose revival turned out to be short-lived. In early 1995 Li decided to resettle in the United States in the apparent hope of avoiding political problems caused by the continuing denunciation of qigong in the Chinese media. His departure changed Falun Gong in a number of ways. First, upon leaving China, Li announced that his newly published text Zhuan falun (1994; “The Revolving Dharma Wheel”)-in fact a transcription of a nine-part lecture series-would henceforth serve as the focus of Falun Gong practice. Followers were to read and reread the sacred text, sustaining their relationship with Master Li as they did so. That change was important in the context of the broader qigong movement, in which manuals had traditionally served as how-to books and guides to cultivation but not as sacred texts (although Zhuan falun could be downloaded from the Internet for free, followers were not allowed to write on the pages of the work). The content of Zhuan falun also stressed demonic and apocalyptic themes that other qigong texts had only hinted at. Second, despite Li’s absence and the generally falling fortunes of qigong and Falun Gong, most Falun Gong followers in China continued to believe that their practice was completely legal, as high-level debates on the subject within the government had been inconclusive. Accordingly, when faced with media criticism, Falun Gong followers reacted by peacefully demonstrating at the offices of newspapers and television stations. Finally, in a massive and unannounced gathering on April 25, 1999, some 20,000 Falun Gong adherents protested outside CCP headquarters in Beijing. That demonstration, which took party leaders completely by surprise, marked the end of the qigong boom and largely sealed the fate of Falun Gong as a Chinese movement. The party soon declared Falun Gong to be the greatest danger to state security since the 1989 student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square and banned the movement as a “heretical cult.” However, because of the surprising strength of Falun Gong in the Chinese diaspora-particularly in the United States and Canada-China was not immediately successful in suppressing the movement. Falun Gong followers championed their cause in the Western media as an issue of freedom of religion, until a number of self-immolations by alleged Falun Gong adherents in Tiananmen Square in January 2001 convinced much of the Western media that the group was indeed a “cult” (Falun Gong followers insisted that the immolations were staged by the Chinese government). Falun Gong subsequently established its own media outlets-including the Epoch Times newspaper, the New Tang Dynasty television network, and the Sound of Hope radio network-and continued to resist what appeared to be an ongoing campaign of repression in China.

I don't claim to have attained anything complicated. To enjoy my breath and cease emotional reactions to circumstances is what Buddhism (so far) is to me. For my ultimate fate, I trust Jesus' love. For my moment-to-moment mental health, I enjoy my breath and I cease struggling. The two perspectives West and East are One.
East and West are two siblings, the understand u can only reach if u understand religion. It dont mean spezific one but all at "once".... the meaning hide behind all and nothing.... it sounds hard but the islam got me to the understanding of the meaning from the ghost of the time. So how can i tell u Christian, Islam, Buddism... the order of the religion is not important, the important thing is the "ghost" behind all. So how can i tell my childs they belive in the wrong religion and talk against u. I apologise for my gramma... Have a nice day and stay clean.

It is eyes opening book to be honest. So much wisdom in it. I would recommend everyone to read (listen). You may gonna be inspired to change your life. I did my choice few months ago. Meditation changed my life to better side so far and it is just beginning. Find your own truth like Buddha said.

Don't forget to reject the duality of life
Hi Buddha said “ there is no road to happiness. Happiness is the road!” Living in the present is the key to happiness so instead of looking just feel it! 🙏❤️peace be with you🙏

Even though Buddhism is not a religion it teaches you how to be spiritually connected to yourself and the universe. True WISDOM.
A wise Buddhist monk in Thailand told me that Buddhism is not a religion.
Buddhism is a way of life and a training methodology to enlightenment.
This is correct.

Great book!

Peace be with you.
@@shiroto-up9lr will you please share about your NDEs? I find them so fascinating and enlightening
Listening to this calm and humble voice is the opposite when commercial lies interrupt it. But it is a great example to compare the difference between Buddha and the world. Almost all humans under control of media and commercial lies that take you eternity to the Abyss. Positive is in consequence with negative, just be conscious. Conscious mind is a light shining into your heart.
Have you thought about youtube premium to avoid all add?
@@jparsit I think love and compassion are the lights shining in and through your heart.
The day I first had Buddhism explained to me in my year 9 religious studies class was the day my life changed. The practice of Buddhism has changed my life in every possible way, and I greatly recommend it to everyone. Amazing audiobook, also
Thank you.

It leads you to nothing and when something bigger and out of your control comes against your Buddhism or whatever Spiritualism you a Tree attached to is nowhere to be found so you seep back into the same as you were before. Yet, you will continue to let it rule over you as long as you feel better abd don't have to take accountability for all that you've done. Floating around with no foundation is why you keep ending up dry and depressed. Theres no power outside of the Living God YHWH ELOHIM ADONAI and His Word. Youll continue on the same path of roller coaster emotions until you leave this Buddhist nonsense behind and follow the True Christ Yeshua and His commands by the Word of YHWH ELOHIM ADONAI. I hope this offends and cuts you deeply so that you will see what is really inside yourself instead of believing the lies that Buddhism tells you so that you continue into bondage of yourself and your imaginations having no real power to actually overcome the things of life.
You're entitled to your opinion but there is no excuse for being abrasively disrespectful.
I wish you peace.

I have enjoyed this greatly. I was so wrong about the Buddha now I see.
I am an atheist but want to become a buddhist and this is helping
Thsnk you for watching.
Practically, atheist and buddhist are similar...am Buddhist and I was never force to attend buddha teaching in my life .nor by monks or family even they are so religious. But it's very important to find a good and qualified guru......
There is no reason to consider the conflict. Its irrelevant
Buddhism does not have a god that controls. The only difference is that an atheist is sure that there is no god. In Buddhism, it doesn’t matter, what is important is that you are attaining peace within.
Dont become a buddhist become buddhism.
I am a new Buddhist and loved the book ❤
Thank you for listening
How’s your faith brother?! ❤️🙌🏼
Im a pagan animism ( believe that everything has a spirit) but enjoy the wisdom in Buddhist teachings

Thanks for sharing. Well explained and very informative. I'm living in my van and alone almost 100% of the time but rarely do I feel lonely as I have me, myself, I, and all the surrounding nature around me to get to know and enjoy.
I meditate a lot...in many forms, sitting, standing, laying down. And I TRY not to let negative and toxic energy get into me.
Thank you for sharing your peace.
The way to get to deep meditation is when after u exercise, physical and mentality has to come together
I hope to live the same way☮️✌️

You were not 'born Buddhist'.
You became a Buddhist.
If you had been born somewhere else, you would have been something else.
You are indeed lucky to have been born in the midst of a life philosophy many people like me take years to learn about.
You were born a man ......
Of all the religions - Buddhism is the best model for life and society.
Wow, this book is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this, cannot begin to describe how meaningful it is to have discovered this.
To whoever is reading this, may your journey be as meaningful as it has been for me ❤️
Thank you for listening....please share.
@@samsivyes I am sharing
I'm in my 30s and have always considered myself open to different ideas and beliefs. I've never heard teachings and practices that so align with my own natural way of thinking and seeing the world/myself as I've heard in this short audiobook. It's a really beautiful feeling. I'm very excited to learn more. Thank you for this.
Buddhism is a mirror of Nature and the physical world....no dogma demanded, nor afterlife reward promised, no religious devotion required, no blind faith mandated,......... just use your mind and open it to questioning....
I dated a covert narcissist and am caught up in psychology to understand minds. This just leads to more grief as focus is placed on pathologies of myself and others. Staring at the problem is not the solution. Prayer, study and practice is the only way to peace and happiness. This is my pledge to return to a good life. The covert will not win.
Peace be with you.
@@samsiv peace be inside you..thank you
While listening to the insight and teachings of this book I have discovered that inner fountain of happiness and peace within.

Although, if one needed to put a label on it I suppose you could say I am Christian, as I do strongly believe in and try to follow the teachings of Jesus, however when I read about Buddhism I see how much I just naturally live more of this lifestyle in many ways as well.
I always say I am not a person learning how to be spiritual, I am a spiritual learning how to be a person.
And I truly feel that way.
I believe very much in kindness towards all living beings, to the very best of our ability.
I also feel like if we set a goal to each day try to be a better human than we were the day before (no matter your faith or religion) , then we should always be on the right path ❤️
Thank you for sharing.
I feel my greatest blessing was my introduction to the Buddha
Peace be with you.
Buddhism is about finding one's SOUL.
how Buddhism encourages individuals to rely not on blind faith, but on personal experience and practice. The Buddha's advice to his followers to test his teachings like goldsmiths test gold - by examination and not by faith alone - is frequently noted for its rational approach
On point!
I’m 2 minutes in and already getting the argumentation of truthfulness from retroactively apply science that we’ve leaned to philosophy from 2500 years ago.
Open mind, open mind, open mind, open mind.
I am coming from Buddhist family. However, listening to this help me to reinforce of my belief in our lord the compassion one and his teachings. Thank you!
Thank you. May your path to peace help impact others in a positive way as well.
For the first time I meditated listening to this. I was able to push your voice to a back corner somewhere, where I could still hear you but I was focused on my breathing and relaxing my body. At some point a warmth and deep relaxation started in my chest and stomach and radiated outwards. The joy and love were so pure and pleasurable i cried for the first time in years. There was no sadness to it, I think I just couldn't deal with the intensity of the feeling. I started shaking a bit too. I can't believe this..thank you very much for sharing, this is changing my life already.
Profound.
That is awesome! Good for you. I need to try this. I have the mindset, but I seem so scattered.
@@thelong-hairedleapinggnome7939 I'm new to it, all I can say is don't force it. You have to relax completely and let your random thoughts just kind of fade away. I have meditated several times since this happened and haven't reproduced that.. awakening or whatever it was. It's still changing me though. I'm different.

Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely. I feel peace with the many realizations that have come to me about myself through this fabulous book. Such heavy words. Simple but somewhat complicated. I personally became programmed to believe my unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, my patterns and negativity to others and of couse initially to myself. I embraced this unhealthy lifestyle. Suffering and more suffering I allowed/allow myself. Knowing that there is a more better and healthier way to learn differently from these past negative and hurtful ways is something I embrace. I feel relief and peace. It has been lacking in my life for many years. Cannot blame it on "being a blunt and right Scorpio" any longer💖🕊

Hello. I really liked your book Zen Buddhism: A Beginner's Guide Book On Achieving A Healthy And Happy Life Through Zen . It was available as an ebook in an application called Storytel in Turkey, but it was in English. I wanted to translate it into Turkish and I translated it. If you can help me, I would like to share it with Turkish people. I didn't want to do anything with the book without your permission. Very simple and effective way to explain what Zen is. It's written in a way can everyone understand what it is and what is the purpose in it. Well done sir.

Thank you.
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.
So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.

I don't have many deep words to offer and say, but I can say thank you with my appreciation.
Jiddu krishnamurti, the first and last freedom, explains all this the best. There is no "gaining." that is mind, and mind is delusion/DESIRE. It can never help u. It is a trap. Thinking ur getting better at meditation is as lost as u can get. Time is mind and time is not "real." Forgive urself and ur practice.
Enjoyed the book regardless, thanks for sharing! ☯️❤

Great book!!! If you are starting your spiritual journey this is the book to read/listen to. Very clear, to the point and practical. Thank you sir!

Skip kindergarten altogether. All Buddhist schools up until now are at an elementary school level except Falun Dafa.
@@jeffforsythe9514 wrote, _"Skip kindergarten altogether. All Buddhist schools up until now are at an elementary school level except Falun Dafa."_
Falun Gong, (Chinese: “Discipline of the Dharma Wheel”) also spelled Falungong, also called Falun Dafa, controversial Chinese spiritual movement founded by Li Hongzhi in 1992. The movement’s sudden prominence in the late 1990s became a concern to the Chinese government, which branded it a “heretical cult.”
Falun Gong is an offshoot of qigong (Chinese: “discipline of the vital breath”), an amalgam of traditional medical and self-cultivation practices developed in the early 1950s by members of the Chinese medical establishment as part of an effort to promote traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in modern socialist China. Although some members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) attacked such practices for their “superstitious” nature as well as for their links to religion and spirituality, proponents of TCM managed to carve out a place for qigong and other similar therapies alongside biomedicine.
Qigong was available in some clinics and sanatoriums in the 1950s and early ’60s but was banned during the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) for its “feudal” history. It received a new lease on life in the late 1970s, when a purported laboratory discovery of the material existence of qigong energy dovetailed with a fundamental change in state policy away from revolution and toward science and economic development. Overnight, qigong became “scientific,” a change in status that led to state approval for qigong activities.
Out of this conjuncture developed the qigong boom, a roughly 20-year period, spanning the 1980s and ’90s, when hundreds of millions of Chinese were drawn to a wide variety of qigong schools and practices in the socially freer post-Mao Zedong era. The leading figures in the boom were charismatic qigong masters such as Yan Xin and Zhang Hongbao, who built nationwide organizations, sold qigong manuals, and gave talks in sports arenas and other large venues, which believers paid to attend. The masters were supported by qigong magazines and newspapers and by best-selling biographies of the masters themselves. Behind the scenes were government and military figures who believed that the study of qigong could be the key to creating a “Chinese science” that would expand human potential and propel China to the forefront of the developed world. Although average practitioners were likely to have been drawn to qigong for health reasons, other currents in the qigong movement included experiments with alleged paranormal phenomena and extrasensory perception (ESP) as well as a wide variety of spiritual and cultural pursuits. It should be emphasized, however, that most advocates of qigong regarded it as a self-cultivation practice with a scientific basis and not as a religion, which is heavily regulated in China.
Although the qigong movement had high-level supporters, it also had detractors, who condemned qigong as superstition and chicanery. By the early 1990s such critics had gained the upper hand in swaying China’s political authorities. It was in an effort to restore the qigong movement’s flagging fortunes that Li Hongzhi in 1992 founded Falun Gong (“Discipline of the Dharma Wheel”), whose name referred to the revolving wheel that Li promised to install in his followers, purifying their bodies “in another dimension” and freeing them from bodily concerns. Li’s original message sought to dispel qigong’s associations with fraud and faith healing by emphasizing “higher-level cultivation.” He also initially gave his lectures free of charge, relying instead on sales of his books and other Falun Gong paraphernalia. Whether it was the message or the man, Falun Gong grew rapidly in popularity, and Li followed the familiar path of other charismatic qigong masters, giving dozens of well-attended high-profile talks and building a large nationwide organization between 1992 and 1995. Estimates of the number of Falun Gong’s adherents during this period vary greatly, ranging from about 2 million to 60 million.
However, the advent of Falun Gong did not end criticism of the qigong movement, whose revival turned out to be short-lived. In early 1995 Li decided to resettle in the United States in the apparent hope of avoiding political problems caused by the continuing denunciation of qigong in the Chinese media. His departure changed Falun Gong in a number of ways. First, upon leaving China, Li announced that his newly published text Zhuan falun (1994; “The Revolving Dharma Wheel”)-in fact a transcription of a nine-part lecture series-would henceforth serve as the focus of Falun Gong practice. Followers were to read and reread the sacred text, sustaining their relationship with Master Li as they did so. That change was important in the context of the broader qigong movement, in which manuals had traditionally served as how-to books and guides to cultivation but not as sacred texts (although Zhuan falun could be downloaded from the Internet for free, followers were not allowed to write on the pages of the work). The content of Zhuan falun also stressed demonic and apocalyptic themes that other qigong texts had only hinted at.
Second, despite Li’s absence and the generally falling fortunes of qigong and Falun Gong, most Falun Gong followers in China continued to believe that their practice was completely legal, as high-level debates on the subject within the government had been inconclusive. Accordingly, when faced with media criticism, Falun Gong followers reacted by peacefully demonstrating at the offices of newspapers and television stations. Finally, in a massive and unannounced gathering on April 25, 1999, some 20,000 Falun Gong adherents protested outside CCP headquarters in Beijing.
That demonstration, which took party leaders completely by surprise, marked the end of the qigong boom and largely sealed the fate of Falun Gong as a Chinese movement. The party soon declared Falun Gong to be the greatest danger to state security since the 1989 student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square and banned the movement as a “heretical cult.” However, because of the surprising strength of Falun Gong in the Chinese diaspora-particularly in the United States and Canada-China was not immediately successful in suppressing the movement. Falun Gong followers championed their cause in the Western media as an issue of freedom of religion, until a number of self-immolations by alleged Falun Gong adherents in Tiananmen Square in January 2001 convinced much of the Western media that the group was indeed a “cult” (Falun Gong followers insisted that the immolations were staged by the Chinese government). Falun Gong subsequently established its own media outlets-including the Epoch Times newspaper, the New Tang Dynasty television network, and the Sound of Hope radio network-and continued to resist what appeared to be an ongoing campaign of repression in China.

I don't claim to have attained anything complicated. To enjoy my breath and cease emotional reactions to circumstances is what Buddhism (so far) is to me. For my ultimate fate, I trust Jesus' love. For my moment-to-moment mental health, I enjoy my breath and I cease struggling. The two perspectives West and East are One.
Amen.
East and West are two siblings, the understand u can only reach if u understand religion. It dont mean spezific one but all at "once".... the meaning hide behind all and nothing.... it sounds hard but the islam got me to the understanding of the meaning from the ghost of the time. So how can i tell u Christian, Islam, Buddism... the order of the religion is not important, the important thing is the "ghost" behind all. So how can i tell my childs they belive in the wrong religion and talk against u.
I apologise for my gramma...
