You're not wrong though, devas are divas. Lord Indra, King of the Devas in Hinduism, once tried to drown an entire village because they didn't honor him in a festival. That was a really accurate statement

"You could be forced to watch a 15 second KZfaq ad and then get hit with another 15 second ad." Now that's just fucked up. What could anyone have possibly done to deserve THAT kind of punishment?

Oh man when I watched naruto I noticed a lot of parallels to Hinduism. Makes sense that it was based on Buddhism since both religions originated in India and share many beliefs. It would be really cool to learn more about how Buddhism changed over time, over different regions and as a fusion of many cultures.

Finally, I wanted a video about the Buddhist Six Paths for a long time

"These are animals. They suffer from the vice of being stupid." I have a dog, can confirm. But he has the virtue of being adorable.

The Buddhist references in Naruto really need their own video series because there are indeed a LOT of them, especially to mikkyo teachings. Mikkyo (密教) refers to Vajrayana practices found primarily in the Shingon sect but also found in the Tendai and Kegon sects as well as Shugendo practices.

Interestingly, the Asura and Devas fight constant wars, because there is huge tree the size of the universe. Its roots are in Asura territory, but because Deva live above, they get the fruits. So it’s not jealousy on the Asura’s part, they got the bad end of the deal. Now where have we heard this before? Two groups of supernatural people, fighting against each other over some damned tree, and one of those groups is called Asura. Aesura. Aesir. Oh yes, some scholars posit a relationship between Buddhism and Germanic Polytheism, because they both come from the ancient Indo-European religion. Nepal and the North of the Indian Subcontinent were settled by the Indo-Aryans.

This reminds me of a story I read in Chinese mythology. There was a Buddhist family that was very devote. The father was so devote that when he died, he was carried to Buddhist heaven by heavenly cranes. After his death, the son leaves for the traditional mourning period and leaves the mother with some money to give to monks that might visit. Unfortunately without any men to keep her devoted, she quickly strayed from the virtuous path and sin like crazy. Like she did every kind of sin you can think of. She got to taste meat for the first time and killed dogs for dinner, she refused to give any of the money her son left her for the monks nor any food (except one time when she gave her scraps to a monk, condemning him for hell too). As her final sin, when her son returned, she lied to him about whether or not she gave out the money he left her for the monks. When she died, she was condemned to Buddhist hell where she has to kneel on a bed of nails forever. After her death, the son changed his name and became a monk. He was so devote that he gained the ability to visit Buddhist heaven while alive. Unfortunately when he got there, he found out that his mother isn't there, and did everything he could at first to find her, and then try to save her soul. He even convince Buddha to visit hell with released a whole bunch of souls at once. However, he came too late and the mother was now serving a new sentence in Gakido, always begging for food on earth but having it turn to ash upon touching her lips. In the end, the son saved her soul by throwing the first ever festival to honor the dead, and after she ate for the first time, she reincarnated as a dog and was treated fairly by her owners until her son came to bring her to heaven to reunite with her husband.

There's a mountain in East Java, Indonesia named Semeru. named after the mythical Sumeru, in early century of Indonesian history, Hindu-Buddhism is the major religion and influenced almost every aspect of the people of Nusantara's (old Indonesia name) life.

Getting sponsorships and making your own spin on em… he grows up so fast *sniffs

Love the "Divine Comedy" reference there, Linfamy.😂

I really liked this one. One can be familiar with so much Far Eastern content and never understand why it's made like that or why it is proposed over and over, as if it were part of something more than the producer's/writer imagination.

Linfamy dissecting/discussing my favorite character in Naruto Shippuden and the concepts he was based on?!?!?! Dreams do come true 😊😊😊

funny, my ex was into naruto and he also put me thru six paths of pain

That "Divine Comedy" reference at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="170">2:50</a> was ingenius! XD

I love how the more Naruto continued, the more it was being revealed that it wasnt a tale of Ninja, but a tale of the origins of Buddhism and the compassion such a following can teach. I also love how just like the deities within eastern religions, it was always a fractured story of a greater whole that was being pieced back together to reveal the truth of everything.

Gakidō, the realm of hungry ghosts, has hungry ghosts, although they are also referred as preta. One of the major events that is about giving offerings to hungry ghosts is the Hungry Ghost Festival. Hungry ghosts also appear in Hinduism, Taoism, and even Chinese Folk Religion,

Your content is great. I enjoy learning about the references of anime to religious and philosophical creeds. Thanks for the video!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="365">6:05</a> That person was probably Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz

I looked up the Bardo Thodol, or Tibetan Book of the Dead, just to find out when this came into Buddhism. It was revealed around 1342, but supposedly written much earlier. This is interesting, as Dante's Divine Comedy was published in 1320. Either they have a common influence, a story that was floating around the Silk Road at that time, or somehow Dante made it all the way to Tibet in a few decades. Hmmmmm ....

There’s a game called Rain World which has a lot of Buddhist symbolism with stuff like how you can get gain and lose karma and how the story revolves around everything being stuck in a cycle of death and rebirth. It mixes Buddhist symbolism with a post apocalyptic world and is a really cool game overall.

I am curious about the Zoroastrian Influences on the Buddhist Concept of the 6 Paths. Zoroastrianism's Founder basically grew up in a priestly family of a society that followed an Iranian Religion that was very similar to Northern Vedic Religions, which was one of the main foundations for Hinduism and I think for Buddhism as well. Just like Hindus and Buddhists have a concept of Devas and Asura, Zoroastrianism has the concept of Daeva and Ahura, where Ahura means lord and Ahura Mazda is the wise lord, and Daeva are seen as demons or at least false gods. Obviously, this is the exact opposite of the Upper Realms. Zoroastrianism has a deep concept of heaven and hell. So I'm curious how much of that Zoroastrian Influence seeped it's way into Buddhism. After all, Siddhartha Gautama would have lived around the time of the rise of the Persian Empire

Japanese Buddism is really different from Thai Buddism but the core teachings are all the same. Thank you so much for covering the topic.

Thanks for all your super interesting videos laced with humor , you rock 😀

Another awesome vid! Love the Naruto connection here

Energy changes forms. The energy stuck in *loops* Stackoverflow

I love your humor in these videos

You might be the best mythology and history teacher I’ve had contact with…. For a deva approved length of time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="109">1:49</a> Alright, Dante! I'm VERGIL. Got me unexpectedly

SHINGON priest reporting in -- great presentation ! Keep it up, @Linfamy !

Haha, the ad placement was just brilliant

Oo very interesting stuff, great video!

Classifying all my acquintances into the 3 lower realms as Linfamy explains...

It's about time you did a dissection video of this

Jigokudo is specifically for MW 2 players from the X box 360 days

I didn't start off interested in Asian (Japanese to be specific) folklore and history. As in, I normally wouldn't go and look for videos on these subjects. Until I came across a Linfamy video and since then I've been very interested. Thank you Linfamy.

Man your Segway is on point speaking of point don't forget get to PRESS THE LIKE BUTTON ✅

Please tell about arhats, dakinis, bodhisattvas, and so on. Your cartoons and explanations are wonderful!

It makes sense he can pull souls out because Nindo doesn’t just mean the realm of humans but the realm of mortality, so he can pluck out one’s mortality.

Graditude for the info helped me on my path... 🙏🏽

Lovely video💕

I really needed the pain breakdown. it never quite stuck before.

another great video - I love watching Linfamy's videos on Buddhism infused Japanese culture; there are always new details to learn and enjoy

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="421">7:01</a> The deva in this animated pic has the best body I have ever seen. Just saying.

Now we need an DMC game but with Six Paths

Don’t forget the final path. Rather outer path. I guess it’s a reference to the Buddha who attained enlightenment and yeeted off from the cycle of death and rebirth. Which explains which he can resurrect people.

I really want to convert to beging a buddhist in future and work my whole life towards enlightenment.

Oddly enough, the abilites of Jigokudo/Naraka Path is probably one of the pretty useful one, since it can be used to revive someone, like your ally or something. Or sacrifice your own life to revive another.

hey its been so long since i watched you channel i remember watching your videos of this fox girl mythology and man more llol so thank you

Best channel✨

I appreciate the Inferno reference lol

Thanks for you work Man, one like is too few for How much this is great!!

Thanks for the video! Would love to see you do one for Kara no Kyoukai movie series too!

As a Polish person I have felt so noticed...

Imma be honest. That thumbnail notification on that phone makes it look like either Pain is grabbing Linfamy's pfp or using Almighty Push on it.

I know I'm gonna love this but can you do Buddhist references in Bleach? There's alot in that series.

I'd just like to be THAT weeaboo and point out that the Six Paths are also prevalent in Bleach: Jigokudo = Hell -> ghouls / demons like what Szayel becomes. Gakido = Hueco Mundo -> Hollows like Ulquiorra. Chikushodo = Beast Realm -> Beast-like beings like Sajin and his grandfather. Ashurado = Wandenreich -> Quincies like Yhwach. Nindo = World of the Living. Tendo = Soul Society / Royal Society -> Shinigami, Nobles, etc.

So much explained and thanks for it, Lin. The pulling your soul out thing is a nod to his-Masashi Kishimoto's- publisher, who loves the quantity of the work far more than its quality. Personally, I'm a lot more like Sorachi Hideaki; "I'm just a monkey in a tree, why must I leave?"

Your channel is better than all of fucking netflix! I'm dreading the day I run out of your videos to watch.

Nice video bro

Japan gameplay: omg waifu Japan lore: wokeuplikethis

That Polish person's name was Pvt. Franciszek Dolas. A man who single-handedly unleashed WWII by bumping into an Ashura on a train station ;)

Wonderful

NICE!!!

I'm liking the vid for that smooth ad placement

I walk an eightfold path. For chaos!

awesome video! what is the name of the painting at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="438">7:18</a> ? is gorgeous!

Woah. This is nuts!

I adore you more EVERY VIDEO!!!

More lore yayay

The six paths are like a metaphor to the different mental states.

May I ask where you get your ideas for videos? Or do you have suggested books for Japan's history?

Madara vs Hashirama is basically Shinto vs Buddha

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="338">5:38</a>, he looks a little like god Brahma in hinduism. But he has four faces and he is known as the creator of the world. In hinduism Deva also means tge gods.

This could become very helpful, I played a lot with a mixture of biblical, Japanese, Persian, norse and urban fantasy in the first volume of my trilogy, now that I'm planning the second volume I needed a place to put the son and send the father to go save him and the 9 realms around igdrasil or seven stages of Dante's inferno are just used too often... I was looking for a new level design... I like this...

Yeah!

Your great P.

👍 good video

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="339">5:39</a> Semeru is a mountain in Java. Legends said that it is what nails the Earth together or something. I'm sure it was named after the mythical one.

Based off of this I’m assuming I must’ve lived about 12-16 lifetimes by now and I’m getting close to ending my reincarnation cycle.

Love the Buddhist history

I knew Naruto was absolutely jam-packed with Buddhist references and was very Japanese in its identity, but it's only years after mostly grew out of it that I've realized how deep it goes. Same is true for Bleach, but I actually like it even more as a 20-something than I did as a freshman in college.

It's done in a humorous way, but it really makes clear stuff I wasn't quite getting.

I can't belive I'm watching a video with Naruto in it's title but since it is Linfamy, how could I not

Nindo Tendo ....wait a minute Nin-Tendo?!

Could you go more in depth about the auras please?

So it’s basically the Infinite Tsukuyomi but we all die and are reborn in different ways forever trapped in it.

Lmao that Nord VPN ad was frigging smooth :))

The description of beings in gakido made me think of gaki from nioh. The "do" i bushido means path or way. Gakido must mean gaki's path. It all makes sense

The layers of Naraka (Hell) warrants its own video.

The French fry (?) on the table is going to haunt me for a long type

That hell demons deserves hell when ignores teachings of master Yoda
