The Four Noble Truths Of Buddhism Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- The Four Noble Truths are the foundation of the Buddha’s teaching. They are four objective, fundamental aspects of reality he realized when he awoke. The Buddha said that to not know these truths is to sleepwalk through life, always repeating the same mistakes, not knowing they bring you suffering.
And it is no coincidence these four truths are called ‘noble’. To hear them is already the first step on a path that one day (even if lifetimes into the future) WILL bring you to becoming an awakened one - a Buddha - yourself.

Buddhism sees personal liberation through self and not by praying to an outside supreme being. You have to follow a path by yourself and Buddha's philosophy guides you. He can't send you to hell or heaven and it's your mind which carries you to your salvation or destruction. Amazing!
I think its basically the same. "Higher" self and God. Even Heaven and hell are in buddhism, which are states of mind(similarilly its explained in some christian teachings) so difference is probably only illusion.
@@aceoffools86My personal belief is that Jesus reached enlightenment and tried to help others but his teachings were misinterpreted and changed by people over centuries.
@@kingc8531yes, i agree, there is alot space for misinterpretation after all. It would be actually miracle if we now understood his teaching exactly how it was meaned to be
there is no such thing as personal liberation, read my comment on 11/10/2023
Based on my understanding, liberation through self would be the opposite of the philosophy no? Wouldn't detachment from self and desires be more accurate?
As a Thai Buddhist. Thank you so much for your hardwork that you share Buddha's principles to the world. 🙏
I am much older than you, and have studied for years, but listening to you, I suddenly understand what I haven't understood before. Thank you!
I am a buddhist. I used to learn buddhism as a subject when I was in school(because my country's main religion is buddhism)..that period I didn't pay much attention about the buddha's teachings..just focused on my grades..but feels like I'm learning buddha's teachings more deeper from you..now I'm more interest about buddha's teachings..I'm starting to think about why I didn't try to understand these teachings before.. because of your videos I could open my eyes and see the reality of buddha's teachings..thank you so much❤🙏
Me too
Wow there is a subject where u learn Buddhism. I never knew. Where r u from bro
සුද්දෙක් කිව්වොත් ලොකු වෙන හීනමාන කලු සුද්දන්ගෙම ලෙඩක් ඔය. සුදු කතෝලිකයෙක් ඉංග්රීසියෙන් කිව්වම වත් බුදුදහම සැබෑ දහම බව තේරුම් ගත්ත නම් ලොකුදෙයක්
@@priyadarshikanawarathna168I think you are focusing too much on the person who is narrating the message. Schools in SL was mainly focusing on the learned aspect rather than teaching the Dharma. It doesn't matter who the person is as long as Buddha's Dharma is taught in a way that the listener can understand. Westerners have a thirst for eastern philosophy and they go all the way to learn it.
Sun, rain, wind, rivers, streams, and seas are a closed circle and that is reincarnation. Cause and effect is the continuation of cause and effect. If you don't cut off cause and effect, don't expect to step out of the cycle, a vicious circle. The karma created by humans will become earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and super storms, it is a disaster that humans must bear.
The way you present these concepts is really amazing. It made me think about the four noble truths in way I had not considered before. Please continue making videos on these important buddhist concepts.
Will do! Thank you for the feedback :)
I agree. It’s very well put! I have been looking into this subject for a good while now and have rarely found someone who elaborates it so well.
💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
Buddhist teachings are mystic goboolee gook. Buddha died in his early seventies and remained dead.
At least most aware Buddhist monks recognised Jesus the Christ as the best man to have ever lived. And he still does. When we realise God is infinite good than we will begin to understand Jesus's teachings. The understanding of the Holy Bible becomes illumine and gobolee gook is gone.
@@gregorym3020so ignorant
As one who has started on the path in only the last six months, I encourage everyone to simply sit down and be in the moment for a while.
It has helped me to see through a number of the lies I took for granted, which made me feel inadequate, angry and depressed.
To become Buddhist you don't have to get anointed anywhere, you can be Buddhist right now, by wishing for all beings to be at ease, and trying to uphold the 5 precepts.
Remember, the precepts are guidelines, not laws to be damned over when broken.
Can confirm, total truth. Just recently started the path---and I have felt, in the last few days, more bliss and equanimity than the previous 12 years. I don't want it to end. I realize that this notion is an attachment, but I am riding this wave as long as it may last. Thanks---
My greatest gratitude to you.❤. It’s like Buddha’s words are coming through you. May this light shine on all mankind. Peace.
You can keep these lies
It's not true.
Well done!!!
"Colors we cannot yet see". I love that.
I have watched two of your videos now. This one on the four noble truths and the one on no self. They are both very well done. I am a Buddhist and find your explanation of the Buddhist teaching to be well researched and well presented, primarily coming from the Theravada school of Buddhism. I’m curious as to why a Christian would spend so much time and effort explaining Buddhism to your followers. Having just stumbled upon your channel I also am one of your followers. I am eager to see your other videos. Your voice and your accent are wonderful! Listening to you my mind and body relax and I can more easily focus on what you are saying. Keep up the good work. I wish you success with this channel.
Thank you for this comment and your support, Michele! I am Christian by heart, not by dogma, so there is no conflict in me in studying the world's religions and wisdom traditions. Buddhist teaching has been life-changing for me and so I am seeking to explore it and also share it in an engaging an well-researched way with others. I got my MA in Buddhist studies at SOAS University of London, so I try to be as careful with my arguments in these videos as I had to be in my academic works.

Buddisms need to detach from illusion self, gender, beings and all physical and non physical things.
He needs to believe in heart about karma , cause and effect which leads to life circle and sufferings.
He needs to practice in Buddha teachings to detach from ignorence, attachment,desire,suffererings and this practise of eight noble way of living could lead to nivana,,escape from circle of cause and effect.life circle and karma.
Sadhu, sadhu sadhu, Namo Buddhaya.
Dukkha (Suffering): Life inherently involves suffering, dissatisfaction, and discomfort.
Samudaya (Origin of Suffering): The cause of suffering is craving, attachment, and ignorance.
Nirodha (Cessation of Suffering): It's possible to end suffering by eliminating its causes, leading to Nirvana, a state of liberation and peace.
Magga (Path to the Cessation of Suffering): Following the Eightfold Path, consisting of right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration, leads to the cessation of suffering.
Very highly recommend; Seeker to Seeker has a rare gift for teaching. Rare and profound.
What a way of presenting buddha's teaching. Though a buddhist by birth, I never went deep. I'm so glad I found your videos. This is second video I'm watching and you made me understand the stuffs I already came across in a profound way. Thank you. Do keep your good work to understand buddha's teaching in more understandable way.
Thank you, I really appreciate this and I'm glad these videos are useful to you :)
🙏 I've been learning buddhism for years in pali & sinhalese .so I have a good understanding of these words. Trust me you did an amazing job even if it's difficult to give the exact meaning in English.
Very good. I am curious how you can understand so much about Buddhism (I am a Buddhist) and not be blown away by the knowledge/wisdom and not want to enter onto the journey yourself. Very interesting. The Dharma bows me away everyday. ❤
It blows me away too, friend!
Carefully researched & rooted in scripture - well understood, fantastically presented: You are doing such a great job with this channel. Wonderful to watch. Much Mettā.
Thank you for your kind encouragement, Janice! This goes a long way towards motivating to keep up the work :)
@@seeker2seeker … preserving the Dharma / Dhamma. There is a saying: Those who protect the dhamma are protected by the dhamma. 😘
You are doing a wonderful job. You are taking something that is so difficult and allowing me to understand and put it into a practice. Thank you so much.
@@jodiangell8078 Thank you, I’m glad this is useful!
I appreciate your effort to explain the basic concepts of Buddhism to people. Best wishes to All.
I was seeking The Four Noble Truths and your video pops up. Thank you for your teaching ❤🙏🏼
This gives me a sense of peace... I've lost almost all of my thirst lately. Instead? I find myself pretty content with most of my life. I'm content with my journey, where I am, and more. I still have goals~ But if I can't achieve them for some reason? I'm fine with it. I'm just happy to be alive and to live this life as it comes.
My country Buddhist but we not learn this at school. I think nobody believe reincarnation, different to SE Asia countries. Person must be very brave to give up pleasures to be true Buddhist. Meditation very good for mental health ❤
Thank you so much. I follow Buddhism and I think your explanation of the four nobles truths is one of the most clear and down to earth I have ever heard. Greetings from Sydney.
Probably the best video explaining the 4 noble truth.
Basic fundamental are sometimes the most difficult to master.
I hope all who see this receives great wisdom and compassion for cultivating a good mind, action and speech ❤💐🙏🏻
NAMO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA
NAMO AMITABHA BUDDHA
Your work is very good ❤ Thank you
That was great, this video! It is concise, to the point! Easy to follow.
So, the intellect is the cause of all suffering. I would agree. I am 71 and took refuge in Buddhism to escape suffering of cancer thirty years ago. I am the cause of my suffering. How true. I have never seen such an excellent explanation of the four noble truths. From a Christian no less. Well done.
I’m so grateful to have found this channel. The presentations are clear, precise and not too long.
The speaker’s voice is soothing yet commanding.
Your videos are beautifully enlightening 🙏 thank you for the artistry, accuracy, tone and music of these
Thank you for taking the time to explain the four noble truths, an excellently presented video 🙏
Wow!
A most insightful interpretation of what the Buddha teaches.
Thank you.
You are really bllessed to have such a clarity within. And I am so gratefull to participate to this clarity through your videos! 🙏💕
The Four Noble Truths are The Core of Budha Teaching 🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏
Thank you brother for explaining such deep concepts in easy words.
You are doing a very good job with these presentations and analysis! Easy to follow and understand!
The 4 noble truths are really a circle and a singularity. When understood they all become one thing.
The premise, the cause, there is a way to uproot the cause, and how to uproot the cause.
However the 4 noble truths are not the end all, otherwise the Buddha would have never said another word.
There are some ascetics who became buddhas upon hearing the Buddha deliver the talk on the four noble truths.
But for most, this teaching is an entrance. You shouldn't stop at them. Nor should you think they are the only thing that is needed or required.
Beautiful work…obviously a labor of love. Bless you brother. I will come back to this often.
Thank you very much for this video. I feel more peace than before.
Brother, how can you possibly have so much wisdom for such a young person. You have some divine help. That im sure. Bless you and your incredible channel my friend ❤❤🙏🙏🙏
EXCELLENT! This was an excellent follow-up to your "no-self teaching" video and I am learning so much AND seeing just how much of these things have been slowly trickling into my life through meditation and mindfulness practices (even BEFORE I started looking into Buddhism). It's almost like coming home in a way, to someplace familiar.
This is beautiful done. I understood so much more than from this video than from the last 4 I watched. I plan on watching it over and over. Thank you!!
This was excellent. Thank you for posting it. I've been practicing for over 20 years and am always looking for good teaching material to pass on to those who might benefit. I will be passing this on, I'm sure. peace
just discovered your channel, just listing to your voice and your explaining narrative is a meditation in itself, your channel is the best find of 2023, seeker to seeker is such a humble and unpretentious handle, thankyou for sharing
Thank you, my friend, and welcome aboard!
This kind of stuff is why i like Buddhism so much. There are certainly religious and mythological aspects to a lot of forms of Buddhism, but pretty much all of its teachings tend to hold truth to them even if only considering things from a secular viewpoint, excluding the more mythical ideas like reincarnation.
There is a reason Secular Buddhism exists. Which is basically a form of Buddhism that takes an atheistic or agnostic approach to the teachings of Siddhartha. There have also been serious studies of Buddhism among modern psychology.
Thank you very much for putting the teachings so clearly and understandable. I feel there are no other words appropriate in any way than thank you, thank you for reminding me 🙏😇🤍
Thank you so very much for your outstanding & excellent video.
Also, what you share with the public, is truly life transforming, & for me at least, a blessing & a gift from YOU!
❤
Thank you, you are far too kind!
This was so gorgeous and so insightful. I haven't thought about the 4 truths in a long time but this comes at a very timely moment because I'm reading through the works of Rene Girard and his whole philosophy is about desire and how it leads to violence. This led him back to Christianity as the religion that is the anti-scapegoat but really what Girard is looking for and what puzzles him is the way beyond the dynamics of desire and I realise how relevant Buddhism is to him and am surprised he doesn't talk about it at all. He looks at it through christianity or more interestingly in his first book through the lens of stendhal proust and dostoevsky and how those thinkers get to that place beyond mimetic desire. Anyway my mind is excited so I'm connecting my dots here. Just wanted to say that this was so beautifully made and so brilliantly written. And the distinction between attaining nirvana and nirvana-ing is absolutely genius and one that will forever influence the way I talk about it.
Thank you, James! I haven't read any of Rene Girard, but from the way you describe his work it sounds like it shares much with Buddhist philosophy. And I appreciate all the positive feedback, especially when it is coming from you!
Yes. I felt a little saddened when I heard Girard dismiss Buddhism in an interview because I don’t think he ever got beyond the stereotype that it’s a religion which turns away from reality and is nihilistic. The man never got to learn the true teachings or experience the liberation Jesus preached. Rather, despite all his protestations that Christianity was not itself founded on sacrifice, he still could not get out of that discussion and fully explain Christ’s solution that transcended sacrifice. Girard knew that Christ wanted us to love one another without grasping that this love and Buddha’s call for compassion or loving kindness are one and the same.
Thank you for this comment.
Thank you for spreading the words of the Buddha in such simple terms. 🙏
Love this video! Very beautifully explained. Thank you!
wow! you have a gift of dissecting complicated doctrine into simple terms. thank you!
Dear you explained buddhist concepts very well .. keep doing what you do .... i'm with you - I love you
Thank you for the encouragement!
Would like to congratulate you on your exposition of complex axioms. Bravo.
Thank you!
My understanding of the second noble truth is the word ‘grasping or clinging’ rather than ‘thirst’. Interesting.
Very well explained, thoroughly enjoying this channel :)
Amazing. We have the same thought. I never thought the noble truths had similar meaning to how I interpret life. I am greatly shocked due to the fact I have not read the four noble truths or any of the buddhist scriptures. I’ve experienced many things in life and the words you said are the things I’ve thought of and experienced deeply.
And nirvana. I get it, it’s not something I could explain, but it is a state where we become observers of this world and we see the truth differently through many experiences after a long arduous journey. I don’t know if this is the right way to word it, but my state of nirvana is the ‘Void.’ It doesn’t mean anything neither does it hold anything. Words can’t describe it because it’s more of a unique feeling that holds no other feelings.
A really great explanation of Buddha's teaching. Thank you for making it so beautifully accessible to all.
I love your voice, very well explained. It made it easier to understand The Four Noble Truths.
bro your way of explaining the concepts is so interesting, keep up the good work!
Hello beautiful person who made this, and hello beautiful person reading this comment ❤
Maybe Nirvana is simply contentment. If you are contented, you don't need to desire or crave. Ergo, if you no longer desire, you never worry about dukka or suffering. Finally, you are free from desires. that sometimes cause pain or happiness which is only temporary in nature. I guess that is the best simplification for the four noble truth of Buddha.
Yup, just go live in a cave and meditate.
Don't deal with modern society issues. Why are you even on the internet?
Stop "desiring" knowledge and entertainment.
The explanation is easy to understand. Very informative. Thank you for the video. 🙏
These are the 4 Noble Truths of Nature. I also believe in a Mystic truth, forces that are working for us from other realms.
I watched like 3 videos so far. Ive noticed that when you speak of dukkha you edit ambient sounds making someone anxious and I love that little detail in your videos!!
Your explanation of complex Buddhist ideas is extraordinary and very helpful. Thank you.
I love this video and channel, thanks for the knowledge.
Watching this makes me question myself about what really life is
I hear your presentations with fresh ears. Your visuals accompany your sober voice in a malleable way. The service you do by this is unfathomable. May you attain Nirvana within this life itself. With best wishes, Gamini
Thank you Gamini, your words mean a lot… My best wishes and gratitude to you too!
I think he has attained Nirvana for sure ❤

The Buddha said, "Punathithi Punyan" (Happiness is merit). The unblemished spiritual happiness derived from hearing your presentation is meritorious in that sense. Therefore, pleasure and merit are mutual. Your tag "seeker to seeker" means your work is addressed to only those who want it. This is the Buddhist way. To want the stuff you disseminate, one has to qualify in many respects in this world of evil forces. May your endeavour reach out to the right people in their thousands! Namo Buddhaaya!!! @@seeker2seeker
Dear Madhima, We do not need to be curious about others' enlightenment. The Buddha said to the group of 32 Baddhawaggiya Princes, who were on a mission to find a woman running away with their valuables, "Why do you want to know others' whereabouts while there is so much to about yourselves?" So let's acknowledge the good work produced by Seeker2 Seeker and benefit from it for our own well-being without being curious about his enlightenment. May you attain Nirvana within this life itself!!! @@madhima others
Excellent, lucid, and beautiful. Thanks so much for creating this video.❤
I have meet so many great Buddhist teachers in VR. Shout out to the Evolvr community. I loved your takes on these concepts I have been learning about.
Really liked the content, thank you.
Very well-made, this exposition !
Wow, this is fantastic -- and the graphics are stunning -- this is art. Follower for life! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for making this video.
You explained things beautifully and the imagery shown with the music was perfect 👌
Heartfelt gratitude Brother. Love from India.
May all be happy ❤
Truly a beuautiful explanation. Often the difficult to comprehend concepts of the Buddha-Dhamma is hard to convey, and to do it in English so well, this is a rare skill. Loved it.

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE...
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
This was one of the best descriptions of the 4 Noble truths I’ve ever come across. Thank you very much 😊
Wow, I just discovered your channel today, you are so wise by nature and shall I say, already a Buddha. You have such an amazing understanding of the subject and even more amazing, relaying such difficult concepts so eloquently. It amazes me that you have such an insight and understand Yung's psychology , I want to add "at such a young age", but that is not appropriate , as I know even older age, speaking of myself, can hardly bring such an understanding. I do appreciate how much time you put to produce these videos, because these are not something one can just present talking from top of ones head. Each word is chosen carefully to remain objective and authentic. I know what channel to listen to from now. I am so grateful to your teachings.
Thank you for the kind words, my friend!
One of the best teachings ever, thank you 🙏🏻 I needed this.
Wow.. your content is amazing, so well explained. Thank you very much for creating this videos. Wish you the greatest luck and success with the channel
Very well written and delivered. I find Buddha's insights agree with my life experience, and your presentation captures the essence for other seekers new to Buddha's thoughts.
I honor you sage. Your wisdom and compassion are immense and subtle.
Thank you, my friend, I pass on your words to the Buddha and his disciples, who are the ones who deserve them
I was looking for just the right way to come back to Vipassana and the study of the Four Noble Truths, after a year's break; after 45 years of practice. Dukkha. Thank you.
Excellent summary. Well done. Thank you.
