[placeksue]

Boy for all his supposed "whatever"....he is a cliche....it just goes to show how walmarted out you americans have become with your flouride brains of reality. if this sells you....then you are a "shoe" in for the like of JIM jones and coolaid

[killercreek450]

[2ManyNoobs]

GOT IT!!?? (high voice)

lol!

[mrcuteblackie]

But I knew this all the time. This is not new at all.

[khororu]

I've never heard of this guy, but he surely is a very deep person...

[SeracRavel]

"Love" what a meaningless word

[Silenus6]

@SeracRavel "Sound" is a meaningless word... to the deaf.

[mrcuteblackie]

@SeracRavel True, a meaningless word. Everyone uses it. Wjhy is this guy preaching the same thing that others do? Nothing is new here. Do miracles for once to be different. I am tired of preachings.

[SeracRavel]

@mrcuteblackie Yes. - Also, another thing I dislike in these new age preachers is how they equate everything. "Mohammed , Buddha, Jesus, whatever you wanna name it ... they all teach love and to express love" ... - I am studying Buddhism currently and I can say Buddha's teachings isn't centered about love, but dukkha ("suffering"). There are differences between religions and saying they are all expressions of the same is just new age drivel.

[mrcuteblackie]

@SeracRavel Youare right. I am tiored of their new age cliches. Another thing is that the Buddhists always quote the bible with their own meanings. They do not know that Christians do not appreciate that at all.

[monsieurhassan]

Budha's teachings are not about dukha or suffering but freedom from it, big difference.

[SeracRavel]

@monsieurhassan Before you can even think of freedom, you must understand the first noble truth. It's not easy to understand even the first one, to really understand it.

[monsieurhassan]

How can you assume that I do NOT understand it?

[SeracRavel]

@monsieurhassan I do not assume you understand it or don't understand it. I am merely saying that one must first understand the first noble truth fully before progressing to the next three, and that even though the first noble truth looks easy to understand, it is not so, and takes years to fully grasp what is meant by "dukkha". I am not implying anything about your understanding, since I don't know you. I said "Buddha teaches Dukkha", which is absolutely correct.

[monsieurhassan]

@SeracRavel .. . Anyone who has lived beyond his or her childhood years can understand the first noble truth (some get a taste of it even in childhood), and although I don't presume that my understanding of it is deeper than anyone else but I think everyone has an innate understanding of what "dukha" means . .. my point is that you can dwell on it all your life and not get anywhere unless you grasp the other noble truths, and in that sense Budha's teachings were not solely about suffering

[magnet2money]

this guy makes so much sense, how did he learn this?

[shunyotube]

I like what he says about how nothing is everything and his point about how identification with mind and body returns after deep sleep in answer to the question "What reincarnates?" But I still don't get how that answers the question of what reincarnates. How could a life after this body's death be "me" in a way that is more "me" than any other person's life? What would relate a different specific life to "me" more than another, in light of anatta/ anatman?

[trespire]

@shunyotube Found reading the book "The Tibetan book of the Dead" helps with understanding this question.

[shunyotube]

@trespire

Thanks, but it didn't for me.

[Richardnewmed7]

Never, EVER took a dime from us in trade for his Love and Truth. In his eighties, he met us in Golden Gate Park by the Hall of Flowers and walked with us to the ocean, where he bought us each an ice cream cone. Formerly a Vaudeville singer and union rep. for the strippers union, he 'fell awake' and shared awareness with us at the San Francisco Theosophical Lodge and at various Sufi gatherings

[KarameloKaramelo]

I never heard of this man, but he speaks the truth as I see it. All there is is what is happening. The 1 source expressing itself through seeing, thouching, hearing, walking, etc.

[Silverstring]

Ya Hayy! Ya Joe! Ya Shakur,

with great gratitude for this opportunity,

Zubin Nur

[naradaian]

Great to see you Joe  just great

[WESSYS]

YES!
