    If someone shows genuine humanity and love, they will always be struck down in UA-cam comments that make outrageous claims with no references or source material.
    It degrades our view of the world to strike at others through anonymity.
    Instead why not try taking his wisdom for what its worth, and be kind, despite the freedom to be cruel without consequence,

    I feel so humbled and grateful for the Dalai Lama spreading his messages to us. I see a gentle mindful sentient being reminding us that we are the same, to focus inward instead of outward, connect with others because we are social animals, reciprocate that compassion we all had to receive from our mother to survive because real peace comes from inner peace. he ofc puts it all together in a more beautiful way since he's so enlightened!!Makes me so confident that Buddhism has it all figured out :)

    It's fascinating when individuals with opposing views fail to see that each other's points are both valid and fail strike a point of equilibrium per say. It's a beautiful thing to be able to absorb wisdom from knowledge, without hindrances to wisdom which in context may include grammatical errors, use wrong words, (all part of language barrier). Getting too technical hinders from being able to find intended meaning in knowledge however previously being a perfectionists by nature ...I would encourage the the university to try to post the videos in the best quality possible. I don't personally mind. I seek the essence and would listen to only the audio even,but it could be the difference between a shallow mind going a bit deeper or staying as shallow as it is. I try to share useful media with kids and anyone who I see may have an interest (I live in a small predominantly catholic country) so i would appreciate the best quality. It's important to me because I want to be as effective at getting them interested in the material as possible so it really needs to make a good impression on them which means it needs to be the best quality. I try to get really good videos 1080 but where I can't I settle for lower. But yes i will be teaching them (because I'll be running a tiny summer camp to share useful media and give kids personal attention
    ),after being able to spark their interest , to look beyond technicalities and to be able to focus on absorbing the essence of good media.
    anyway as per the issue bellow here's my opinion in a nutshell
    1)It was a great thing getting this video posted
    2)If it is easy to make a small adjustment that makes a difference in the quality then do so.(I say this not in a demanding way but rather in a tone of enthusiastic motivation.I would never talk down on good works)
    3) the guy with the aspect ration issue did have a point. (however the approach was a bit aggressive. Remember we are all humans and even if we think we are not being offensive we need to be careful about how we speak to others and how we word what we want to say)
    Thank you very much for posting such videos. I appreciate it more than you can imagine :^)

    buddhism is not a religion. It is a practice, philosophy and the path to become buddha. The only one recorded in history who became buddha is Siddharta a prince of India. Unlike other religion it does not openly and sulk up and believe in a all mighty creator. It is the training to bond with the nature and community

    Many Thanks to his holiness for your precious words which were lost in human heart I think it lost by not proper understanding definitely it is your inner light that comes to aware we like people who keen to know. Your child affection with the breast of mother the first emtion of child, but that emotion has been lost being young as well old.I think your remembering from where we have been lost. Your every preach start from mother to aware us so I realize every mother has choosed you most elder child as well some old not so much you are still beautiful to aware your brothers and sister.

    Hi, can you provide some dates and places this happened that I can make a search for? I went looking after reading this comment, but couldn't find anything to do with Dalai Lama engaging in slavery, mutilations or amputations.
    In what way did he engage in these things, when, and what for?
    Thanks.

    The centrality of compassion is LOVE. Compassion is a sign of the Love within. And we know that the root of all that is good from the least to the greatest is Love... God is Love, God is within... and within is Christ's salvation.

    As far as i have understood the Dalai Lama on other occasions he actually means warm heart physically,that means you feel a tender warmth inside your upper torso&led it spread.One reason why he didn't go much into the howto's is maybe,that he doesn't want to be recognised as a Buddhist missionary man,because the actual training is according to Buddhist compassion training...too specific for a broad multireligious audience.if your interested,look up the word Tonglen or Mettameditation

    Can you mention any specific book titles? Any particular writers in particular? Perhaps some dates and times for events, or names of places?
    Slavery for example, where and when was this practised by the Dalai Lama?

    How I wish that the many self-proclaimed 'enlightened masters' who seem to pop up everywhere on the net these days, could take a look at this. This man exudes a natural, unaffected humility. None of this "I am awakened, and you can be too, just purchase my product" nonsense. The Dalai Lama might not be perfect, but he is nevertheless a great being. His humility is a symptom of much wisdom, IMO.

    @rubberritchie My uncle was in Tibet shortly after the war. He was a young Monk and traveled with a small group of monks from his temple. The abbot of the temple advised against the trip, but did not forbid it and only gave them the advise to keep an open mind. In Tibet they practice a different form of Buddhism than we do. What he and his group was absolutely alarming. To put it mildly, the monks in Tibet do not follow the teachings of the Buddha.

    @Dnash777 i agree with you partially.On the other Hand there are many means to go your own way and the Buddha gave extended teachings on these...there is a path to go of course and not MY way,but universal ways to contentment.The journey and the grade and way we adopt the understanding of the Buddhas is individual,but the "Landscape of Enlightenment" isn't.But maybe my comment is just a clarification for myself and clear to you anyway.Than:Thanx for reminding me&all happiness there is for you!

    Some history
    Before Tibet became a part of China, the majority of its population were slaves. It was kind of like the US before the abolition of slavery. The slaves were told by monks that they bear the sins of their souls committed before reincarnation; thus they were destined to be slaves. Dalai Lama was the supreme religious leader at the time, and was forced to exile when the Chinese army took control of Tibet.
    Not talking about religion here, but as you can see...

    • @TheNewManiacFilms
      @TheNewManiacFilms 10 років тому

      My point is one would expect this video to be professionally edited. The fact that it's not is somewhat disrespectful both to the university's reputation and the Dalai Lama.
      I never claimed to be an expert, but this is a problem even I, with my basic knowledge of video editing, can do. Why is it that Stanford overlooked it?

    • @OhItsOkay
      @OhItsOkay 10 років тому

      Well, if you see this as a disrespect, fine, your opinion. I still don't understand what this has to do with the content, speak, what Dalai Lama is talking about in this video. I also believe, this is the last thing the Dalai Lama would worry about.
      And I also believe, especially by your reply, you haven't got the point! You think, like so many other, small minded, negative minded. You think if you point out something that is not "perfect" than you are so much above all other.
      The point here is, whoever wants to HEAR what the Dalai Lama says, wouldn't even see, what you saw, because they want to hear his message.
      You, however, you don't want to listen to the Dalai Lama, you use this as your "advancement" to show off, when indeed, you just made a fool out of yourself.
      But having said this, and considering your concerns, what about the chairs the audience sat in? I guess they had the wrong upholstery, too. And and and, ... still so many things that were wrong, right?
      point here again, the Dalai Lama was happy, and so ma I.
      You can go on and - especially now, that I addressed your poor state of mind, go off on me. Of course, but, in a very professional way.
      Oh dear world, what is taught in your homes and university, these days!

    • @TheNewManiacFilms
      @TheNewManiacFilms 10 років тому

      That is just so hypocritical that I honestly don't know how to respond. If you indeed follow what the Dalai Lama said, why are you so focused on my negative criticism. Why would you go to the trouble of writing entire paragraphs? Why would you dwell so much on it?
      Honestly I am not the small-minded one. I'm not the one trying to preach a bullshit message based off of assumptions and not facts.
      Oh please, go on and make more assumptions about my state of mind. It's funny just how far off you truly are. That's what happens when you make arguments not based on fact.
