This by far is the best dharmma talk i have ever heard. This partial glimpse of enlightenment is like begining of the path to true liberation. It is true, that is only scratches the surface of buddhism but provides great inspiration for those who seek to find true liberation from this world of "problematic" suffering. sadhu sadhu sadhu.
@champion1098 it would be the Teaching of the Buddha: 'This is suffering. This is the end of suffering.' Understand that and you understand the heart. See that and you see the heart.
Buddha's teachings are just that, teachings to be reflected upon. It is based on understanding and wisdom; developing wisdom comes with true understanding. One basic theme in his teaching is learning to let go of attachments-those that causes suffering to oneself and others. Every human being has attachments; this is one connection in humanity. Another theme is to avoid wrong views-i.e., expecting no diversity in a diverse World. These concepts are just scratches on the surface of "Buddhism".
Sorry to post this on this video. Why do some muslim people have serious issues with Budhists. Whenever I look at videos on youtube like this I see at least a few comments from Muslim people gettin their mad on haha :)
I mean why all the anger when not provoked at all. But in the words of the Buddha
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."

Keep your dignity!
There is a better way to attain happiness in this life and succeed in the next, than Walking around in rags, begging for food and kissing the feet of stinky old monks.
I agree. There is much more dignity in developing hatred for those who believe in anything different from us, strapping a bomb on our bodies and blowing ourselves up. You go first.
very practical and helpful teachings, that make me realise how and where ive gone off track in life, but which at the same time give me hope that i can get back thru setting myself these noble goals. Thank you
i wish that everyone could hear and understand this beautiful teaching. (as an aside, i see many videos about islam with buddhist tags.i hope some of those folks wander over here.)
This is genuine Buddhism. There is nothing said that is impractical and there is nothing said that is "out of reach". Plus the monk translates the 1st Noble Truth correctly. Life is problematic, it has challenges to be earnestly and joyfully overcome.
1st Noble Truth, Buddha said: "There is dukkha". Dukkha translates as "difficulties" and not "suffering". The difference is subtle and important for practicality. Be free. Get enlightened from the ground floor. Do not look too high.
