I had a near death experience when I had my oldest son and I had cancer but I'm free from it, five years on. TWICE God has healed me and brought me back to life. Your body might be dead, but your soul will always wander. I was looking down at my body from the ceiling before entering my body again.

As a Buddhist, I can say his idea on Buddhism is baby infancy. No offence but it is wrong place to learn about it here

Christianity teaches about “love” and “morality” On the other hand, Buddhism teaches scientific and philosophical reason about the reality we are living in and the purpose of living in this universe. Buddhism tells about the realization of this world.

I love Buddhist teachings. More you detach from almost everything, you see happiness.

Buddhism is not a death cult, it is about dampening your ego which bring peace.

As a Buddhist, I would have to say, you did a quite good presentation of Buddhism. ^^

Buddha was Born In Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵

To my understanding of Buddhism Let go of anger, resentment, egoism, clinging to material things, harmful speech excetera excetera so you can live a happier life in the past present and future

The Buddha's Words on Kindness (Metta Sutta) This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech. Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied. Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful, Not proud and demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in saftey, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born, May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings: Radiating kindness over the entire world Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.

I think this guy did a pretty excellent job explaining Buddhism from a Christian perspective. However, I disagree that Buddhism teaches that everything bad that happens to us is our bad karma. The Buddha clearly denies this in the Samyutta Nikaya scirpture: ​​“Master Buddha, there are some spiritual figures and religious leaders who hold such a doctrine and view as this: ‘Whatever a person experiences, whether it be pleasant or painful or neither, all that is caused by what was done in the past.’ What does Master Buddha say about this?” “Some feelings, Sivaka, arise here originating from bile disorders...phlegm disorders ... wind disorders ... from an imbalance of the three ... produced by change of climate ... produced by careless behavior ... caused by assault ... produced as the result of karma: that some feelings arise here produced as the result of karma one can know for oneself, and that is considered to be true in the world…Therefore I say that this view of karma is wrong on the part of those spiritual figures and religious leaders.” -Samyutta Nikaya, page 1,279 Also, most Buddhists don't believe that spiritual liberation is a state of non-existence. In the majority of Theravada Buddhists, they believe that nirvana is a state of aggregates that are permanent, rather than consisting of the impermanent aggregates that are in samsara. Only a minority of Theravada Buddhists believe that nirvana is an annihilation of life. And then the Mahayana Buddhists believe that a liberated person should be a bodhisattva--someone who keeps being reborn in samsara but as a spiritually liberated figure that helps others reach salvation.

This guy misunderstood the term "no self" as Buddha taught. Maybe he focused too much on himself. A little effort to research the correct meaning is better than to be lazy and display that ignorance for the world to see.

The difference is simple. The Buddhist won't knock on your door.

this is One of the smartest, brightest, and really have a knowledge of true Buddhism Christian speaker I've ever seen on youtube.

As i understand it, Buddhists are not saying that you can't love your family, be with your family, and cherish your family. All the text is saying is that you should not let your family become the main source of your happiness, that should come from within.

Although as a Muslim I think Buddhism is a good religion as instead of trying to give a answer to a cosmic equation that we'll probably never get the a answer to it seems to teach that for every reaction there's as opposite reaction. Good deed carry you in life life well bad deeds destroy your viewpoint on morality. Plus I haven't seen nor head now talked to god so I can't say he exists. Lots of people will probably call me out but if you haven't seen god you than you shouldn't follow everything blindly.

You gave a more accurate description of Buddhism than most Buddhists, very cool, keep it up.

You did a great job explain budhdisam As crstian faster. I really respect you for that

Buddha Wisdom of Enlightment will exist forever in the truth of the Dharma, and in the practice of the Dharama. He who sees merely my body does not truly see me. Only he who accepts my teaching truly sees me the Buddha.

I'm a Christian and I went to Thailand. Their people are very friendly their temples are beautiful but I'm a Christian no doubt about it and I will not deny that

"You can get Americans to believe anything if they think it was said by a Buddhist monk." -a Buddhist monk

If anyone or any organization ever tells you that if you do not believe as they do, you will surely spend your never ending existence in pain and torment after you die, RUN!!!!

What is the greatest enemy of enlightenment? "Fear." "And where does fear come from?" "Delusion." "And what is delusion?" "To think that the diverse flowers around, that does not think like you nor look like you, are poisonous snakes." "How shall I attain to enlightenment?" "Open your eyes and see." "What?" "That there isn't a single snake around."

We have many Buddhists in Albuquerque, NM!

Amen

19:00 I am surprised he did not mention the movie "Groundhog Day"

Buddhism is about liberation from suffering in daily living through the eight fold path.

This was wonderful thank you.

The word of God is never change. I tell you.. Simple

May our lord Jesus Christ have mercy on sinful people who have commented here by letting down the prophecy . May lord Jesus Christ gives them wisdom . Thank you pastor for showing people the truth.

I do believe that it is of utmost importance to include the part of Buddha's life story that explains his Royal upbringing. To me, this does many things; a) It makes itself a necessarily compelling story for Rich people. b) It gives a more accurate and detailed explanation of his character (the problem he had with seeing people suffer, when he lived such a privileged life) and his life. But, what I find the most intriguing about the contrasts of Buddha's and *JESUS'* lives is, the Tree symbolism. When *JESUS* was confronted by another Rich young ruler, *HE* ended up telling him to; 1) Go your way. 2) Sell everything that you have. 3) Give it all to the poor. 4) Return unto *ME.* 5) Take up your *CROSS.* (Tree) 6) Follow *ME.* So the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, has led us to the Tree (Cross) on Calvary, which should inevitably lead us to the Tree of Life? It would seem that the Rich young ruler who tried to justify himself to *JESUS* was not as willing to grow spiritually as the Rich young ruler who went and sat under that Fig Tree.

I respect to all religions.... because I'm a Buddhist.SUPREME BUDDHA TAUGHT US TO RESPECT ALL RELIGIONS.THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUDDHISM AND OTHER RELIGIONS.

It's relevant to me. I need this video. I'm a Christian (and a Star Wars fan btw) with a Buddhist girlfriend and we are...having issues on our beliefs.

Look at the way his suffering trying to figure all this out … God has made different religions to suit different aspirations, times, and countries. All doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God Himself." All religions are like the spokes of a wheel that all end in the same center. Consequently, it does not matter which religion one belongs to in the end. When we stop merely professing our allegiance to our own faith and start actually practicing it, we begin to uncover the central truth at the heart of all religious life..

Beautiful sermon. I pray every church will have a pastor who teaches humility, grace, and love for all!

good thing he didn’t spoil the titanic! i’m planning on watching it for the first time. so excited!! no clue what happens!!

Buddha's attitude to prayer is that if there was a god who answers prayers then surely we would all get what we wanted. This is impossible as we would come into conflict with those with opposing needs.

Nirvana = Free of worries letting go of anger or hatred resentment clinging to material things free of worries

In Buddhism there is no belief only the truth

This dude gave Buddhism a fair shot...

Studying Buddhism has brought me to be more Christ-like than any Christian religion has

Peter Kreeft PhD explains well in his book, Making Sense Out of Suffering. He takes the reader on a safe thought journey.

Amen Brother in Christ Jesus. 😇🙏😘

One is detatorship the other one is democracy. One is rule by fear the other one is help with compassion One is i am the only way there is no other way. The other one is do not believe on me simply because I am the one telling it. Judge with your own commonsense. Guess who is who.

Whoever wins the war, says his religion is greatest 😂,buddha taught us to stop looking for god, focus on yourself.and very first thing there is no god in buddhism,not even buddha himself. this is best thing in buddhism.

And evil Palpitatine convinces Anakin that if he has more power he can save Padme.

I think they are the same thing, I mean Jesus visited India and brought Eastern religion to the middle east. The Christian texts have just been manipulated so much over the centuries that they are unrecognizable from what they originally were.

I love Buddhism🙏🙏

There is always "I's" being born all over the world. When you're body dies and what think is your consciousness (your ego) dies with it but consciousness lives on and is reincarnated all the time as "I"

If you earnestly want to understand Buddhism listen to Buddhists, not Christian apologists giving their take on Buddhism..

I always marvel how someone with no real experience, can speak at length, on something they truly know fuck all about!

Let it go Baldy

☸

There is no fire like lust and no crime like hatred. There is no ill like the aggregates (of existence) and no bliss higher than the peace (of Nibbana). Buddha

My kids love Star Wars

Buddhism theres NO God, what does a god have to do with human emotions. No fortune tellers, No Prophets, No resentment words like infidel, Pagan, Gentile, No telling non believers that there going to hell if you do not believe in Buddha !!!! We believe in cause and effect and cause and condition self afflicted KARMA by oneself through the natural phenomen of one’s own DEEDS. No self, Soul which is the Ego I,Me, Mine, that cause mind suffering, resentment, anger, hatred and war.

The Buddha teaches rebirth, not reincarnation. Reincarnation implies a stable soul or self. The buddha's teaching about "no self" make reincarnation impossible. after you die, you are dead, but there is a karmic continuation. Re-birth in the Buddhadharma is moment to moment.

For follow my thought thoughts on Buddhism are the fact that Buddha state that everything is your choice.know one is born good or bad. Just choice. Lots of people say Buddhism is aethissm without understanding that buddha never said god exists or not he just said open your eyes.

Middle East = middle east Asia but somehow christian is western religion 🤔

A close friend of mine who is "born again" told me that Jesus said, "you are with me, or against me" to which i replied, "i don't think i could ever trust with the whole of my life a "God" who was a Godfather in the Mafia. of course, he took great offence and told me i would go to hell for such blasphemy. at hearing this, i was tranquil enough to say, "so be it, if according to you"

That was a good ending

Great teaching!

According to Buddhist teaching it is the idea of self that is one of the cause of suffering. Greed selfishness, Anger and Hostilities and delusion arise from the idea of self.

He was from nepal not india . needs correction sir

ive been thinking of going into Buddhism but i have decided to go against it. I enjoyed your talk. I am currently Catholic

Bible scriptures on slavery However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

Sorry, for my own reference when I come back to this video. 8:29 10:36

The Buddha wasn't worried about truth or followers. So he encouraged people to investigate. The only places where investigation is discouraged is where truth isn't found.

The tone was somewhat condescending, but the overall presentation of Buddhism is surprisingly okay, compared to other videos from evangelical leaders. Your presentation of karma is wrong though, and the critique apologists typically use (saying a sick child brought it on themselves) is a misconception. Karma does not explain EVERY thing that happens to you (there are five orders of conditions, karma is one of them, biology is another one that would explain sickness much better).

He doesn’t understand Buddhism.

Many of the things he said about Buddhism are quite correct except about Nirvana. The goal of Buddhism is to become enlightened and reach nirvana. Nirvana is believed to be attainable only with the elimination of all greed, hatred, and ignorance within a person. Nirvana signifies the end of the cycle of death and rebirth which is called Samsara. In Buddhism, all beings are cycling in the 6 realms of samsara which are Heaven, Asura, Humans, Animals/Insects, Hungry Ghost, and Hell. The lowest realm is hell, and the highest realm is heaven. Heaven has 7 levels. Even staying in Heaven isn't permanent and one has to be reborn again. Only to Nirvana one exits Samsara and ends suffering.

As my last though for people who believe in God I don't want to offend anyone but isn't in science they say that energy can't be destroyed only transferred. So what if we reincarnated over and over due to this entry law. As for Buddha escaping this cycle it could be seen as him transcending this energy law I guess.

That’s sad. I was actually just planning on watching citizen cane for the first time.

Most people doesn't understand their own religion. Christianity is all about FAITH. FAITH in yourself and in God. And that's why Christianity is better than Buddhism. Buddhism is mostly about "no conception, no worries, just empty your head". And that's ok, if you suffered a lot and in search for therapy for trauma. Jesus teaches us that this life has a meaning, every single step, that we are born to be alive, joyful and strong because each soul matters. And to put our worries in God's hands, to BELIEVE in his power of love (which is inside each of us). WE ARE OUR OWN HEALERS.

Buddhism isn't a religion. You can be a Christian and a Buddhist. You can be an Athiest and a Buddhist. The pastor even acknowledges that he didn't have enough time to explain a religion... yet he still tried to explain Buddhism knowing he was actually explaining it very well.

metadist buddhist is a buddhist believing in God of love, instead of an Force of love, as the most buddhist believe.

Christianity says there is no reborn.but in my country there are few people who can remember their last lives. In Buddhism teaches us there is a reborn untill you attain to supreme of nibbana

Pastor. I am disappointed that you had to tell your congregation that the picture you put up was George Lucas. Lol. I would start a church split based on that. Lol... joking. Adding this to a post on my site regarding Buddhism.

There is no other name like Elohim… Yeshua is our Elohim.. means Salvation is our Elohim

when you blindly believe in some of the religions only brings you suffering, no matter which religion, you still have to see a doctor when you are sick or get Covid.

Simple point is Buddhism is not a dogma.

Thank you for explaining the fundamental principle of Christianity. I have yet to finish listening to your entire video. Just thought to say that another fundamental point is that Jesus was born free of SIN as He was not conceived in the usual human way. He is not another human who found enlightenment. And He laid down His life, not died due to the physical body's inability to support life any longer. And He conquered death by rising up on the third day and ascended. His birth was prophesied in the book of Genesis. And the bible is complete, not losing the last half. Nor is it based on oral transmission for a few hundred years. It is important that christians know Who and what principles they believe in.

𝓑𝓾𝓭𝓭𝓱𝓲𝓼𝓽 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓫𝓮𝓼𝓽

I consider myself a Christian but I absolutely think that the tone in your voice while you were explaining Buddhism was pretty condescending . You made it look clownish kind of like a lot of people do with Christianity . With our giant boats and fish swallowing people . But like everybody say's nowadays , you do you .

All humans have Buddha nature !!!! All humans have the potential of becoming a Buddha 😃 .

I believe in Jesus ❤ as my savior and practice some of the teachings of Buddhism ☸ and Taoism ☯️. I have two Buddhist rosaries and say prayers with them by saying my own mantras. I also have a dharma wheel pendant that I carry everywhere I go with my rosaries. Helps with my anxiety and schizoaffective disorder.

Of 8000 volume of Buddha's teaching he read the 20 page from the 1st volume , understood the literal meaning of 10 and gathered no insight

In Buddhism God is not the center of religion, man is the center of religion. As fedrich nietzche says "God is dead, man has to take responsibility to himself and evolve ubermench/buddhahood.

People are putting an limit on everything. Which is not letting them reach there higher slefs. You can believe anything you want.but don't put your beliefs on people without facts. This guy is saying you should not believe this because it's not true without facts but saying what he's saying Without facts is true

Buddhism isn't a religon It's philosophy.. only wiser ,dedicated people can understand this and end all suffering. Lord buddha is just one who ended all suffering and he told us the way to end suffering . "I'm a science student but buddhism is beyond science. "

I see we have a lot of bhuddist here which is cool. I have a question for you guys. How do you know that bhudda existed when we have no real evidence for the existence of a historical bhudda like we have of jesus? And on top of that the earliest texts of gautama comes centuries after his death so how do you know you can trust those writings that you have?

Can’t the two be brought together? Can you not believe in God but strive for inner peace through meditation?

During the Kuomingtang Northern Expedition Christian war lord Feng Yuxiang 1882-1948 destroyed Buddhist assets on a large scale, forcing monasteries to disrobe and join the Army. Temple properties were confiscated and turned into school, shelters, and even entertaining the houses. This was another disastrous episodes for Buddhism in the China Buddhist do not judge anyone they just see an evil warlord that harms innocent people.

11:59 "How does that work?" Totally NOT condescending. Sad thing is the person who would most benefit from the realization didn't/hasn't found it. At least not in 2018.

They are all made up but with messages that can help to enhance one's self, they are not to be taken too literal.

I disagree with the way he talks about karma. That’s a western view of bhuddism. Karma is actually you do bad things and you feel worse about yourself, and do good things and you will feel better. As it is a spiritual bond between you to reach nirvana. Karma doesn’t actually have control over the things you do in your life. Bad thing just happen as do good things. Of course if you surround yourself with good there will be good. Doesn’t mean there will be no bad at all.

16:40 That is not what it means. You recognize the impermanence of things so you understand the nature of the world. Jesus told his disciples to go sell their things if they were going to follow him and as a result the same outcome was done. This is an opportunity to let go of the fear and attachment we have to our possessions. The pharisee understood that he could not follow Jesus because he had made a life for himself but could not give it away to follow Jesus and his ways. Jesus taught, compassion, the fruits of the spirit, and how god is in you and me. Why was St. Paul not married in the first place? And many other saints the same reason holds true it is because they have found peace in themselves. There are some that are religious and delusional but Buddhism studies the change of the natural world. We chase protection and want to control our destiny but a lot of these are out of reach we cannot 100 percent guarantee our outcome in life. If you study the ten fetters you understand the origin of the human intentions. If you study the three poisons you understand the daily struggle to obtain things. Overall, even though Buddhism varies from tradition, you end up finding more of yourself in it.

They say people shld respect others faith which is fair knowing its their own life, the other thing is when religious people trying to brain wash others to follow them & join their unti Christ gang. It is for everyone to find God in them selves & not religion

Thank u👍

Buddha teacher of Gods God's wish they could become a Buddha

One who invented Yoga, Mahrishi Patanjali was atheist. so yoga cannot be considered religion.
