Most peaceful religion too. Super chill... I am buddhist and grew up with buddhist practices but it was never pushed down my throat like "You have to practice buddhism or you're going to hell" or "You have to love buddha with everything or else you're an abomination" If I want to go to temple, I can go to temple. If not, the monks dont even care LOL. My grandma became a monk but it was like a social club for elder ppl to do good work and help the monks. They never made it feel like a cult or that they're better than us because they are hardcore buddhists. No one ever asks me "are you a true buddhsit?" Its like a religion where they just want to spread positive and good vibes and asks nothing in return. If you want to be hardcore, be hardcore. If not, see you when you we see you

Buddhism really is the “live, and let live” religion lol

“Suck my tongue “ -Lama

They who have ears to hear, let them hear: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins! I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." 1 John 2:2 KJV 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Acts 13:26-33 KJV 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.* 27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.* 28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.* 30 *But God raised him from the dead:* 31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,* 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 1 Peter 3:22 KJV 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. John 14:6 KJV 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Mark 16:16 KJV 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 8:24 KJV 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*

Buddhist are not allowed to kill so all meat is of the menu but most people have no idea how much variation there is with vegetairian food

@@definitlynotbenlente7671 Buddhist household have no this restrictions. Only monks are supposed to follow this tough rule.

Yeah, this is very different even from the other East Asian sects of Buddhism.

I argue that Japan's Zen Buddhist vegetarianism is a happy coincidence in a country that has not much plains to sustain large herd of cattle. Eating meat on the daily is rather recent as far as modern history goes but in Japan it has a date: sometime in 1879 when the Emperor of Japan ate beef. The eating of meat in Japan has practical side to its promotion: prevention of Vitamin B deficiency. Navy curry was Japan's answer to what was once an endemic beri-beri epidemic in the Navy that was resolved only in 1889...

NHK World Japan has a whole slew of documentaries about is. They have a series specifically about a Buddhist Temple (granted it is run by nuns) and what they do in a calendar year...

That sounds creepy as fuck especially when you 40

Typical crazy white men. Creeps.

i just saw a comment on a video where a 70 year old woman wanted to be adopted by another 50-60ish yeah old woman. lol

Bear in mind that buddhist temples around the world all have different beliefs around food and other things. Some temples are vegetarian only, some allow meat, some are vegan, and some have more specific rules around food.

What I was taught at the Korean temple where I worship is that those five vegetables are too stimulating and can excite your brain too much for you to be able to meditate calmly. Others say it’s because they are too delicious and will make you greedy for more. We need to calm our instincts if we want to achieve a more peaceful existence. As others have said, there are different types of Buddhist thought and practice. They have different dietary rules depending on their environment. For example, Tibetan Buddhists in general aren’t vegan because very few vegetables grow at that high of an elevation and the bitter cold, so they have to eat animal products to survive. It’s all born out of necessity.

My take would be is to type, Vegan Buddhist Cuisine in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, in the search box of Google Maps.

Thank you! Unfortunately it doesn’t come up…perhaps someone on the ground might know?!

@@jupitermoon8671 you need to use the korean alphabet. search for 도반 instead of doban. the current address is: 2 Ogam-gil, Gangjin-eup, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, South Korea (not in gangnam, seoul)

you can always practise your own way if you really want to

The no garlic or onion is only for ordained monastics. Not for ordinary lay people. Besides, I think there are more important reasons to be religious than food.

There’s different kinds of Buddhism and I think this might just be the one in South Korea? The Buddhists I know in Southeast Asia east so much garlic and onion 😂

I am a buddhist and I take garlic, onion and meat. There is no absolutes in Buddhism

That's nun Jeong Kwan my dude, not the same person

That depends on the tradition. Common in Theravada Buddhism and South/Southeast Asian countries. Some Mahayana traditions also have alms giving traditions, usually Vinaya oriented ones. But not all monastics go out for alms.

Clearly you haven't eaten anything from Zen Buddhist temples, Sikh langar kitchens, and Jain temples. That is their "Normal" food...

It’s called biguni / bukuni in korean. A female buddhist.

shes literally a woman

There are female Buddhist monks. All of them sport the same shaved bald head...

Explain how?

This is a common Buddhist thing, the harsh taste is believed to be bad for the body and temple food is meant to be quite plain. It's not just her preference.

In Korean Buddhism, alliums and aromatics are actually forbidden because they bring forth the yearn for certain desires. They dont participate in anything that may sway their Buddhist will.

Nonsense, how completely disrespectful. Monastics live strict lifestyles. Imagine going up to a monastic and your breath smells of garlic and onions, how would you feel? Pork is not halal, shellfish is not Kosher, so it's all nonsense huh, you get to dictate and determine which culture is correct and acceptable. Cuisines are all full of culture and delicious tradition. Respect, please.

Please be less ignorant next time before making a comment like that. Buddhists have their own rules to follow and so they must abide like not consuming the 5 vegetables. Oh please grow up and stop thinking you’re smarter than anyone in this planet

@@hui-an-xin It’s really sad that a lot of people like them actually exists especially in the comment section 🥲

In certain sects of Buddhism, onion and garlic stimulates the mind towards temptation thereby corrupting your soul (read: makes food tasty and makes you crave for more tasty things)...
