Sad to think that you need an old man to laugh to bring joy into your own life. He is just but a fellow human being no different from you .

I feel genuine happiness too when I hear his laugh. I had the privilege to see His Holiness in Toronto a few years back, the atmosphere was "odd" . I can't describe the feeling in that arena- not clever like Russell Brand. I imagine many of the audience weren't Buddhist, I am not Tibetan but try to follow Tibetan Buddhism! Shop too much- the man next to me asked me, politely if I felt sort of unusual- and I nodded and we both just sat there as if waiting for SOME THING, we started to laugh, softly, embarrassed- His Holiness emphasized his "human-ness" , no faith healing, no magic conjuring etc! But there was a peculiar goosebumps, nice goosebumps vibe mixed in with the incense- never experienced anything like it! Wasn't the eager, adrenalin rush I got before a band I loved came on stage- not even my "idol" Leonard Cohen (RIP) and I saw him late in his career and nearly fainted...! Have you seen The Dalai Lama, are you a Buddhist, an old soul? An old soul, that is perhaps the best description for a Westerner- a fence sitter, regards, ghosts, GOD, reincarnation- one who is seeking the sound of one hand clapping- Namaste, Isabella, 7 yrs ago! I hope you are well, didn't get covid- I just received my 1st vaccination. Z.

@@dantechersi6056 your right. These leaders work together to do evil to people...noone should be called your holiness accept God himself

You're right, I think he's trying to empathize and relate to his life.

I didn't see it in that manner but you are correct.. it is a respect thing.

steven nguyen becausae he is confident

Because most people he meets dont really deserve too much respect. But dalai lama does

Well look how the chairs are set up. The Dalais chair is higher than Russell's.

+Aleksandr Cotto I wonder if George Lucas has Yoda speaking and teaching in a manner similar to a Buddhist master; and of mindfulness in specific, because Americans see such a master as being very wise and all-knowing or because he himself believes in the teachings. Perhaps one in the same?

Maybe geroge Lucas was inspired by dali lama and yoda was born

+Aleksandr Cotto Both are characters of a fictional religion..so they may sound alike..they even sound and look like the catholic fraud they call a pope.

+Aleksandr Cotto Hmmm. Does, he.

+Aleksandr Cotto :-) It's the other way around

Sorry I see your ash, Love ya brother for doing what you due

YEPPPERS

And The Dalai Lama, I saw him quoted as saying [Paraphrased from memory]. If science ever disproves any part of our Buddhist teachings, we will abandon that part.

Yes

What is holy about a priest? Why so much attention to a man?

That's how God lives. He is God in human body.

His naughty days are long gone.

rebel ram he has a lot of respect for the Dali lama & what he stands for. I think that's why.

rebel ram Russell is all attention to this man just as everybody struggles to decipher what Russell usually says.The old man is so boring.But Russell is so patient and attentive. Roles reversed.Hahaha

Russell makes me happy! During the KP era, I thought he was just a bit too arrogant but now he's all grown up and grounded.

Russell is only rude to people that are rude to him......

Tsnafu really, what about Tibetans still not free and he's having fun!

Tsnafu No, he is not. He was a CIA stooge back in the 50s and 60s when he cooperated with it to arm Tibetan militias to depose Mao Zedong, killing 1 million people in the process. Even today, he is still an agent of US imperialism in China, not promoting Tibetan nationalism, but Tibetan expansionism, wanting to take 1/4th of all Chinese territory to integrate into Tibet. That's not even getting into his Zionist anti-Palestinian racism.

Quq Balam. You're talking about something that happened over 60 years ago. Furthermore Dalai Lama promotes democracy now, and freedom, and wishes autonomy for Tibet. The Chinese Government has been oppressing Tibet from the start. Even now, they limited the amount of Tibetan scripture that can be read in their language. They limit the religions of their people, and oppress Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, and anyone who is not an athiest. Zionist? He isn't a Jew. Doesn't believe in anything even remotely Jewish. Wanting your own land for you and your people is not Zionism. Call it what you want but I call that preserving a culture.

"Tibetan expansionism" holy fuck listen to yourself.

Yes,absolutely right..

Exactly what I was thinking. I was lost within 15 seconds of him talking.

That's awsome.

hellafree your not around foreigners or old people much huh? lol those direct experiences is why I could understand him

pls

Angel Provincia same thing here, my experience with foreigners is the reason I can understand him

Sir Pyro he takes charge with those who need it

Sir Pyro Russell Brand has been exactly the same with Hindu yogis too

sir pyro he is very smart and behaved

If the others are all dumb, russel can do all the talking and it helps the situaion

Beautiful q

Mossfaerie where can i read more about this?

The Dalai Lama pays and waits. Then after a while ask's; "What about my change?" The counter-guy answers; "Change only come's from within."

Bravo, sir.

wesmatron You're too kind, sir.

MexxPowers Can you two keep this going though haha? You're both geniuses.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

your description of him is perfect :)

John O'Shaughnessy Well, you have to be around a person to really get a feeling for them. To be fair, under all of the 'show' the guy has a deep heart.

Buddhist James What? Surly you jest.

Adelaide Marie I take it you know him too?

My Person has yet to meet him but I am coming to know him through these vids. I have found energy knows no bounds and the heart is witnessed even though mere words.

The internet opens up a portal, free to explore by the entire world. If I did not see a comment section without hate, I would very much doubt the internet to be a free place. Then I would worry.

what is it that you cant find a comment section without commenthaters like you? love is not acting. Dalai Lama is an actor.

Without the so called hate, you'd probably not grow. There must be contrast in order to grow and understand. After all, nothing can ever continually be the same.

They are called Trolls.

internet also offers people anonymity to express their beliefs without consequence. often those beliefs are hateful and ignorant, some are just trolling of course but some are not, and they would probably never say these hateful things to someone in person, maybe some would but I doubt it.

+Gingerbread Girl There is no god. At least, not the kind that religious people have invented ; [ie. a god/s that resembles a human] I'm not trying to be mean. Just telling what is 99.9999% probably the truth ; unless the you want to consider the tiny possibility that the most absurd fairy-tales designed to control human minds might actually be true. But that is for you and your "open mind", which is possibly a closed-mind to all evidence to the contrary.

+SixSixSix Ohhhh dude, I'm an atheist, hahah. I'm just saying, there's no point in ragging on anyone else's beliefs :)

Gingevkl might

Haha

I had blocked the Lama cause he was sending too many posts, I recently set him free

Thank you! It is frustrating the amount of people bitching on here without actually having a clue what they are talking about!

The Dalai Lama himself renounced his given title and even fled his home. He hopes in time before he dies he can return to his people and live with them in peace. Never has he ever claimed to be anything more then a simple monk and the only reason he fled his home was to protect his people. In the teachings of ZEN anyone who claims to be a zen master is a fake for zen can't be mastered and everyone is constantly learning and striving for absolute peace.

We are all Buddha

@@stevenglansburg856 no, some refute to be. This modern day egosystem does not allow many to connect to their higher self. They throw away the water and worship the container.

@@stevenglansburg856 correction: we are all POTENTIAL buddhas.

True , but if hes surrounded by practitioners who (by nature) are calm and serene , could someone not ask him to speak through a TRANSLATOR ! . I havnt meditated in years , so unfortunately I find it extremely difficult to understand what hes trying to say (in very bad english) . If he used a translator he could communicate far more efficiently . Not very "Zen" at all. Buddhism is often synonymous with efficiency

And the dalai lama wasn’t bad either!

Yes. Life is actually very simple. We only need to eat and sleep. Between these two points, we work. But "work" has been so complicated as we've made it so. All the complexity of our very complex 'economic systems', Whether capitalist or communist ...... neither system is natural. We are simply animals living on a very beautiful planet. It really is that simple.

meghan42 It is and it isn't; that simple. Yes we are animals, but we will perish if we try to live as an animal. We have lost our body hair, we cannot tolerate raw meat (even uncooked veggies will give you an upset stomach if you grazed) and we have no claws to burrow shelters with. So the whole complex economic systems are in place to provide food shelter and clothing to large numbers of our population. It's the only way we could manage, until recently: the smart computer, married to hydraulic machines, could let us return to simple work. And the work would be whatever makes us happy; work for the sake of work, not work for survival. That's a truly beautiful concept! Now if we could just keep the population under control...

meghan42 you win.

aaron sheppard That implies a competition, am I missing something? I don't dispute her comment, I only expanded on it. You feel like going without economics you go right ahead. And when we've automated the work we need to provide food for all and clothes on our backs, I'm sure you'll figure out how to make a valuable contribution yourself.

Im just saying i like her comment. I didnt even read urs clown.

Long Live This Holiness the Dalai Lama! It is up to us to pray for this man and to protect him from people who want to bring him down. They are terribly misguided. But I believe that truth will win and he will come back as 15th Dalai Lama. China is trying to say that the next Dalai Lama will be born in China only. They are mean and want to hurt Tibetan Buddhists and HH. Please do not worry.

technically he is the "incarnation" of a deity or principle called Avalokitesvara (bodhisattva of compassion), and the dalai lama ("ocean teacher") lineage which traces back to Tsong Kha Pa (13thcentury), not the historical Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama, ~5th-6thth century BCE) It should be emphasized that the position is a means to unite diverse schools (hence the term "ocean" signifying its universality), and trying to limit or trace reincarnational models in a simple 1-to-1 sort of way is almost certainly the wrong way to look at it. Think digital reproduction - Avalokisevara as software, reproducible ad infinitum. Shit, we are, after all, as George Lakoff and Mark Johnson have written, "metaphorical beings"

also, Buddhism has shitloads of gods, they just dont think that one of them created everything (as in the figure of Brahma in Hindu myth, or Plato's Timaeus), peep Bob Thurman (Uma's dad btw): library.fora.tv/2009/02/09/Robert_Thurman_at_City_Arts__Lectures

elgreatestweight No, Hinduism has many gods. Buddhism has no gods, not even the Buddha himself. The Buddha never claimed to be a god.

false. do your history, bud.

+hu go good one

India is with you!

Tibet was Chinas and will always be Chinas

@@Liam-yw8uv Is that true?

You’re all bullshit. The closer we become to “Earth currency” the better we are as a species on the galactic scale. Stop trying to reduce things and start trying to grow things. It seems to me that your little pee brain is thinking country size- cmon man you gotta think bigger and better. You’re better than that.

fuck you made my day ahahahha

and jesus kept silent and listened, how appropriate

ahaha, good one

Well, his religion is significantly younger. He must learn from his elder.

hopefully he won't get crucified this time.

A smile is beautiful on everyone

Why wouldn't Russel Brand be an appropriate choice?

If anything, Russel was the perfect choice.

Russel has all those attributes.

Are you saying you'd make a more appropriate choice of interviewer than the Dalai Lama (who picked Brand himself) :) :P? I think it was partly coz he could be the link between the Dalai Lama and the young people.

Are you kidding?! I couldn't think of anyone more appropriate!

I was thinking that while watching it too!

Noooo. . . I think Yoda reminds everyone of the Dalai Lama. And it wasn't accidental.

lol!!! when I read the quote it was in Yoda's voice.

Actually the core of the movie and Buddhist philosophy is taken from Hinduism so maybe that's why ..

+massivethrobbingmast they both are of the astrological sign Cancer

Lol awesome remark

Cause he's wearing that stupid hat, that's why

Hahaha so true 😂😂

oh fuck!! HH does kinda resemble Hunter S.T.!I guess its d hat dats adding to it !lollll

because his cup is filled with alcohol and drugs xD

Hat and glasses hahahhaha

I've been doing some digging on this man lately and I'm liking him and gaining respect for him more and more. He seems very intelligent, genuine, and caring.

i'd say very intelligent, and likely more than you. i feel you saying he is 'fairly intelligent' says a lot about you though lol :)

Paulie Walnuts with all due respect, nobody is "just" a sex addict or a junkie... Everyone on the planet has something special to bring to the world, including the unfortunate souls who get lost on paths of addiction. It bothers me when I hear grossly over-simplified assumptions and generalizations about people who have made bad choices in their lives by other people who have also made bad choices. Think about the last bad choice you made... Did you have to pay for it everyday of your life from that point on!? Shaming those who have fallen into this trap is only adding to their suffering, not to mention, inhibiting the potential gifts the person being shamed may have to offer from ever manifesting out from under the immense shame and scrutiny of others. Society is essentially robbing itself of the potential gifts found in others through it's own hypocracy. Most of us learn at a young age that choosing to do drugs will lead us to undesirable places in our lives... But the problem doesn't stop there... There are reasons people make the choices they make, and I guarantee that most addicts didn't become addicted to drugs because they wanted to be junkies. As a society, we need to practice a bit of humility in realizing that a person's mistakes in life doesn't necessarily represent who that person is fundamentally... And perhaps if we approached them with compassion and a willingness to understand and help, we could help those who are lost find their true selves and thereby contribute their unique talents to the world instead of slowly withering away in the dark being shamed for mistakes they pay for daily and tragically never realizing their potential in what they could have offered this world. This concept goes back to the old saying "one who lives in a glass house should never throw stones."

Paulie Walnuts... You are very correct. The more we listen to Russel Brand, the more intelligent we realize he really is just that... and with a great amount of compassion for his fellow man.

Russell is a great speaker, and he's not just fairly intelligent, he's very intelligent

+Tom Pike (Pikey) I thought exactly the same, and I knew some other dude would have written it already...

+Tom “Pikey” Pike I hope u r kiddin!

Dear +Merc With A Mouth Please read my reply to @LionEntity

Pabitra Bag Who were you talking about in your first comment? And what is your point?

Pabitra Bag Nobody in India actually does those anymore other than idiots of blind faith and uneducated people. We aren't actually fully supporting those terrible things like racism and homophobia. It's just the oldies that keep screaming"HURR DURR WE ARE OLD WE ARE WISE" Unfortunately, half of those oldies are politicians. There will come a day when people of India will be as liberal in their thinking as any other country. Because each succeeding generation happens to be more open minded than the before one. Also, I am extremely sure Sadhguru doesn't follow those ideals either.

DJWaterman, I agree. The subservience accorded this old con man is sickening.

he is human lol what did u expect?

Humane is the word

No human was the word. Lots of people in his position would act it up. Try and act like they were above humanity. He just seemed human.

Samson Cooper The Dalai Lama isn't supposed to believe he is above anyone else

Why wouldn't he?

+jayaybe1 ha ha ha..you made my day :)

"Lord Buddha" xDDDD hahaha "the greatest" hahaha yea man praise him he was the greatest of all son of god who died for our sinds .... wait, oops! Wrong guy^^ Maybe read what the buddha wrote my friend. Its not about being the best. Or Lord. The middle path...

I know; I was using shorthand there, and reading it again, see that I fucked up. Of course I was referring to his acts and words, not his actual development of the belief system. In fact, I believe that's true of most major religions. Certainly Jesus didn't found Christianity, nor Muhammad found Islam. Thanks so much for clarifying my statement and cleaning up my act. :) My Greek is so rusty, that if it were the floorboard on the driver's side, my foot would go right through it when I braked. But do I see "logos" or something close in Λόγια Σx? Or something near it? I'd love to know how it translates.

tekobari Yeah I think it's the case with the major religions. I'm not quite sure if we're on the same page but what I'm basically saying is that Buddha was uncompromising about ideology. He would say experience but don't believe anything or cling to ideas and systems. He would emphasize formlessness. So, for instance, he may not kill animals and/or eat their meat but will not say "I am vegetarian/vegan" or look down on you for eating meat or living differently from him. The Buddha has no interest whatsoever in changing anyone ... he is entirely fulfilled in his own being and realizes that everyone can have that, and would love to share it but will not go out of his way to do so. It's nothing really, just making up for missing the discussion I guess lol (of which I have to say I learned plenty about the Dalai Lama) Can't say I know Greek myself but I'm deeply interested in it mostly coz I have studied philosophy extensively and took it as a minor. I love Classical Greece and Plato, Socrates, Parmenides, and Heraclitus to name a few. I also love language and linguistics in general, especially etymology. So, you know how some English words have a Greco-Latin origin, I have a fascination with that that I can't really explain lol. The name is Logia Ex (as in Logia Ex Machina).

Λόγια Σx I was hoping it was Logia Ex, but was wary of posting it in case I was way off. Gorgeous name to take. Yes, I completely agree with what you said about Buddha's beliefs, particularly appropriate regarding what the disagreement before you arrived was about. A guy wrote that the Dalia Lama shouldn't be called Holiness, in part because he ate meat. That no Buddhist clergy is allowed to eat meat. The guy didn't grant that it was a basic form of address, such as the Honorable Justice or Senator; the Reverend Whomever, etc. That went nowhere fast so I skeddadled, then you arrived. Pleasure to meet you. I'll follow you if you don't mind.

Thanks. The name is deeply inspired by Heraclitus' logos. lol the whole thing about the "holiness" was funny. IIRC a friend once talked about the Dalai Lama needing to eat meat for health reasons ... no idea whether this is legit or not: samvidbeauty.com/2013/02/a-lesson-from-the-dalai-lama-on-meat-eating/ I don't mind, but I'd suggest adding me on FB instead. I may be mistaken but most of my KZfaq comment are for lols. Hard to find a good discussion. Good to meet you too. What exactly is your interest in Buddhism? I'm really curious, coz I get the impression that you know more about it than the typical/religious Buddhist.

Λόγια Σx Mate, your understanding of the teachings of Guatama Buddha is seriously lacking!

HOOT!!..
