Buddhism is beautiful 🕉️ really following the teachings paired with recently joining Kung Fu at a dojo, and I feel like I am taking my life back

Buddhism is Not a religion, it is Not indoctrination. It's simply another 'ism' if you want to label it.

We believe in the teaching not god. So it nothing but gain

Epictetus and the Buddha both offer practical guidance for living a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Which of their teachings do you find most inspiring or challenging? Do you think Epictetus could be considered the 'Stoic Buddha'? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Buddham Saranam Gacchami

Who said so ???????.???????????

I appreciate and commend this video, so nicely illustrated. As a Hindu Indian-American, I can't help but comment: 1. I have often wondered why Buddhism disappeared in India. We tend to completely forget how a Turk Muslim general went with his army into Nalanda the great Buddhist university and destroyed it. The hapless monks there were slaughtered. I suspect that Buddhists felt that Hindus across the subcontinent would never protect them against the marauding Muslims so decided to go elsewhere. It is easy to see why the Buddhists in Myanmar as so paranoid about Muslim Rohingyas. 2. Why does the Dalai Lama need a picture of Avalokiteshvara in his living quarters? Perhaps it is to constantly remind himself to be the like the deity, an embodiment of compassion, the Avalokiteshvara? 3. The Buddha would ridicule Brahmins as being misguided, and rejected the Brahminic sacrificial practices. Ironically, even the Hindu Upanishads had taught the same, against relying on rituals. One Upanishad stated (I forget which one): "Verily, these rituals are unsafe boats. They will not take you to the farthest shore." The bottom line is that the goal is to become a Buddha and not a Buddhist. To be limited to Buddhism will not take you to the farthest shore either! 4. And oh, the name is Gauthama (the tham is as in 'thumb' and not Gau-taa-ma. British transliteration leaves a lot to be desired. The letter T as in 'time' does not exist in Sanskrit/Pali. The British transliterated "Th" as just "T." 5. The phrase "Go" or "Gau" refers to the sacred cow. The Hindu deity Krishna is often referred to with names using a "Go" prefix such as Govinda. I have read that Go also means "light," while "thama" (not thaama) refers to darkness. So Go-thama refers to a being who dispels the darkness with light.

1. Faith that the universe is on your side. 2. Patience. 3. Diligence. Diligence refers to careful and persistent work or effort. It involves a steady, earnest, and conscientious application to a task or duty, often characterized by thoroughness, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. Diligent individuals are typically reliable, meticulous, and committed to achieving their goals with persistence and attention to quality.

Jesus learned from the great bhakti Buddha teaching 🙏

Thank you for this great summary 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Brother I liked the effort you’ve put to make such a nice and informative video however I couldn’t ignore the fact that you mentioned all other countries except for “Nepal” which is the birthplace of Buddha. You may think Nepal is a part of India but you’re wrong, Nepal has always been a separate independent nation so the Nepalese get offended when people acknowledge them as Indian or Nepal as India.

Im not a thing to pass around

I can't and humiliated 4 37 years its enough

It's all the same thing no matter what we call it. 👵🌠

Every day is a challenge.. Thank you so much for the reminder Matt ❤❤❤

Buddha goes on his own way, but it is wrong that he preaches what he found by himself. If you are aware of yourself ， you must find your own way, not Buddha , Jesus Christ or prophet Muhammad preaching you.

👍👍👍

If they bleave in the spiritual being which means they bleave some one. be sure brother there is a creator of all of us that is why we get question in our life sometimes. we are not free if you trust on God's excited you are his. if not you will be some one's property there is no free Dame don't make a mistake on your internal life! There is a huge God we can not even understand him that much because of his greatness! Jesus loves you it's not ideal the bible say that he made us I don't mean to desrspect you.but to tell you the truth life is not only the thing we see in our physical eyes. self God no because there is God almighty, I believe him even if I don't see him, to be honest with you we see him day to day. Look at air, water, plants, animal, your face, your physical appearance, your hands, night, morning, 🌞 Sun, moon, we can say a million things to improve his presence We don't have to say there is no God for our internet no he bring us in to this world so it's better to find our calling God bless you and he loves you and I love you too for the seek of our savior Jesus Christ there will be a time you will ask your self I know one of Buddhism he says now he asks him self a lot of questions You see you will get this types of question when your strength goes away so wake before it gets near ❤❤❤

More to my mind is, "who/what designed these physical bodies of insects, bugs, birds, animals humans, trees, myriads of different plants and fruits?" Can some "enlightened" human tell me? Thanks in advance. 😊

God ! God God !! Where can I meet really God ??

bro, you are doing such a good work. I really appreciate your effort. namo buddhaya...

Thank you! The video is great and very clarifying. I wish it had subtitles in other languages ​​(Spanish in my case) so I could share it with some people who don't understand English. This material is very helpful. Kind regards.

Buddha is not a god. We are all our own gods and devils. Tibetan teaching tells us we are all our own cruitics.

BUDDHISTS Don't Believe in GOD...but believe in spiritual and super natural being like brahma baka, right?

You should cover babylon 5

I really liked this video... It covered many of the "bugaboos" I've encountered over the years... There is also the difference between "Buddhism" and the simple teaching taught by the Buddha himself, along with many PESKY mistranslations that make the MESSAGES seem way more "mystically obscure" than they are... (another video?) But the core teachings are still intact. Buddha urged his students to speak plainly in the (local) languages that average people could understand, steering away from the elitism that Brahmins of his time were cultivating.

Great podcast, but perhaps next time no background music? So annoying!

Very well explained.... Thank you very much 🙏

Wow! I have learnt a lot. Thanks for creating this video.

Buddhist don’t worship!

ආයුබෝවන් AYUBOWAN 🙏 ( meaning - have a long life) nicely explained about Buddhism, thank you, Iam a buddhist from Sri Lanka.

Totally agree...🙏 Buddhism is all about finding unconditional happiness which lies within. This is for all truth seekers🤍 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7x7eZiEta7alaM.html

An excellent video, well researched and presented.

I believe there are multiple Goddesses and Gods out there. The one who funded buddhism didnt say we are God ourselves but he found a way to detach from materialistic stuff. In order to learn buddhism, u need to study the man who first funded it. If we really are God then how come we cannot predict earthquake still to this day? How come 70% of ocean were being studied? How come we cannot stop the destructionand cration of the mother nature? People that study universe blieves in Gods and Goddesses. Our thumb alone proves that

✅️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of the His new and holy name" (Behavior that cannot fully obey Me is betrayal. Behavior that cannot be loyal to Me is betrayal. Having many understandings and spreading them everywhere is betrayal. The inability to affirm My testimonies and interests is betrayal. These are all acts of betrayal that you have always been able to do, and they are common to you as well. None of you may think this is a problem, but I don't think so. You think that some act of treachery is only an occasional occurrence, not your characteristic behavior, and should not be discussed so seriously, in a way that damages your pride. To think like this is to be an example and example of rebellion. Man's nature is his life; it was a principle on which he depended to stay alive, and he could not change it. This is also the nature of betrayal---if you can do something to betray a relative or friend, it proves that it is part of your life and you were born with this nature. For example, if a person enjoys stealing from others, this "joy of stealing" is part of their life, although they may steal sometimes and not steal sometimes. Whether they steal or not, it cannot prove that their stealing is just a form of behavior. Rather, it proves that their thieving is a part of their life--that is, their nature. This is why I say that the source of this thought is not something that just breaks out from time to time, but is in this person's own nature.) Almighty God said BEHAVIOR that CANNOT FULLY OBEY Me is BETRAYAL. BEHAVIOR that CANNOT be FAITHFUL to Me is BETRAYAL. CHEATING on Me and USING LIES to DECEIVE Me is BETRAYAL. HAVING MANY UNDERSTANDINGS and SPREADING them EVERYWHERE is TREASON. The INABILITY to AFFIRM My TESTIMONIES and INTERESTS is BETRAYAL. OFFERING FALSE SMILES when the HEART is FAR from Me is BETRAYAL. These are ALL ACTS of BETRAYAL that YOU have ALWAYS been ABLE to DO, and they are COMMON to you as well. ☀️🙏 NONE of YOU may THINK this is a PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T THINK SO. I CANNOT TREAT SOMEONE'S BETRAYAL of Me as a SMALL MATTER, and I ESPECIALLY cannot ignore it. 🛑 Now, when I work among you, you act in this way---if the day comes when no one is there to watch over you, will you not be like bandits who have declared themselves kings? When that happens and you cause a major disaster, who will be there to fix the problem? You THINK that some ACT of TREACHERY is ONLY an OCCASIONAL OCCURRENCE, NOT your CHARACTERISTIC BEHAVIOR, and should NOT be DISCUSSED so SERIOUSLY, in a way that DAMAGES your PRIDE. If you really think like this, you lack common sense. To think like this is to be an example and example of rebellion. MAN'S NATURE is his LIFE; it is a PRINCIPLE on which he DEPENDS to STAY ALIVE, and he CANNOT CHANGE it. THIS is ALSO the NATURE of BETRAYAL--if YOU CAN DO SOMETHING to BETRAY a RELATIVE or FRIEND, it PROVES that it is a PART of your LIFE and you were BORN with THIS NATURE. 🛑 😪 THIS is SOMETHING that CANNOT be DENIED to ANYONE. For EXAMPLE, if a PERSON ENJOYS STEALING from OTHERS, this "pleasure to steal" is PART of THEIR LIFE, although they may steal sometimes and not steal sometimes. WHETHER they STEAL or NOT, it CANNOT PROVE that their STEALING is JUST a FORM of BEHAVIOR. Rather, it PROVES that their THIEVING is a PART of THEIR LIFE--that is, their NATURE. 🛑 Some people will ask: Since this is their nature, then why, when they see beautiful things, don't they sometimes steal them? The answer is very simple. There are many reasons why they don't steal. They may not steal something because it is too big to snatch from watchful eyes, or because there is no suitable time to act, or something is too expensive, too closely guarded, or maybe they are not particularly interested here, or notthey see how it will be of use to them, and so on. All of these reasons are possible. But anyway, whether they steal something or not, it cannot prove that this thought only exists as a fleeting and fleeting moment. On the contrary, it is a part of their nature that is difficult to change for the better. Such a person is not satisfied with stealing only once; such attitudes to claim other people's possessions as their own are formed whenever they encounter something beautiful, or a suitable situation. ☀️ This is the REASON WHY I SAY that the SOURCE of this THOUGHT is NOT a THING that just CUT off SOMETIMES, but is in this PERSON'S own NATURE. 🙏 From The WORD, Vol. I. The Manifestation and Work of God. A Very Serious Problem: Infidelity 1 📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/KZfaq! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥 "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 💌

Budhism like Jainisim, and like similar religions as theirs. Believe in one and most important truth : Deeds are of higher priority. For example I believe in Bhagwaans, I met Bhagwaan, and if I Hurt,harm,grief and cause loss to an innocent does that make me dear to Bhagwaans? Does it save me from anger of Bhagwaans? Can it save me against my own deeds? Same is true with God. Adam and Eve were cursed, they were told only one thing never to do. Nor they spoke to God about their experience with serpent and ate what was forbidden. Moses who was given longest list of commandments live upto every single commandment. Who was dear to God? How you live, and if you live upto what you should for the love you have for God or Allah you may know Him if born in faith with Quran. Or Bhagwaans. Deeds are of higher imoortance. Deeds makes you dearest to God-Allah, Bhagwaans. Deeds makes you undear to the one you believe in. Deeds were the reason God, chose to create heaven and hell to seperate the two kinds of people. Deeds of right, and your love and longing is true for the one you worship, you will become dearest of the one you worship. You get nothing less than kindness, love , mercy, favours from God. With wrong doings against others, you get anger, wrath, hell and punishments from God. Deeds are of higher imoortance that makes live for God meaningful. You shall be judged not by your love for God, but by your deeds. Brother of Adam's son too lives God, but he had wrong habits, jealousy, and many other mistakes. Yet God chose offerings from his elder brother. Love if same yet differentiates them. Then he thought, if God does not accept my offering, if I kill him , then I will be the only remaining son of Adam and then God will accept my offerings. He killed his brother, and got cursed by God instead. Live for God, teaches to seek guidance why God did not accept my offerings and to self correct. It cannot teach to be wicked and kill, thinking then Ias only son God will have no other choice but to accept my offering. You cannot force God to have have the option you choose. Love for God is innocense. Wickedness cannot get God's love. And live for God are or many kinds. True love, will make you life just life, seek guidance to live in ocent life. Love, will teach you worship is not that important live as you want you will get forgivness whenever you want. With greed, profit at the cost of loss against any cannot be love for God. May I not be in loss, may you not be in loss. A just way of living is love towards God. Hence, Raavan had met Shivji a Bhagwaan of Hindu religion. Had got many blessings too. Ram too worshipped Shivji and defeated Raavan. It does not matter if you live and have faith. What matters is what is your meaning of live for God-Allah, Bhagwaans. It is determined by two things. 1. Your longing to worship to exoerience one you worship. 2. You way of living if in ocent and involves well being of others. Combined together is your meaning of love for the one you believe in.

The gift of Dhamma excels all other gifts 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for clarifying, this is Enlightening and I totally resonate with it. I have encountered many self-serving individuals who call themselves 'Buddhists'. They worship Buddhas like God. And their way of cultivation is going to temples to pray for their wishes to be granted or solve a financial problem. They think 'Cultivation" is only for retired older people, and not for those who have work and commitment. How sad is their concept! For them, their 'bad Karma' stems from bad luck and they have no role in it. One of them even told me it is after all a 'blind faith'. Please do more videos, I rarely have a chance to hear the correct Way of Cultivation anymore. I pray that the image of Buddhism will not be ruined by these people.

Love your videos ❤🙏

If these so called dieties are called advanced beings, does it mean they might be beings from different dimensions or something?

You vedio full of energy. Mat you had entered the stream entry and beyond. The best merits is the merit through dharma teaching. Your clear understanding of the dharma is so heartwarming. May your stewardship of the dharma awake those longing to the light of dharma. 24:40

Buddha is human. God is nothing. It's only a referring to something that doesn't exist. That's why some people do not believe in god.

The ethics of food is something that I struggle with. I understand the principle of nonharming but if I want to actually do the least amount of harm then I need to eat locally and fish and hunt which reduces my carbon footprint. I don't think the ethics of our industrial food supply are easy to navigate this day and age.
