[hollandneverdie]

WOW...just confirmed everything for me. I'm a buddhist for 2 years now. just turned 21. and i was really struggling as to whether to keep my practice going or not...it changes you so much...makes you different from everyone else because you just understand so much more...i dont think ill ever be able to give up the principles of buddhism...they have become what i rely on to be a person.

When you realize that the self is an illusion and you see everyone elses false selves so clearly...you



[Cnethaway019430]

[Achilles9924]

Finally someone who doesn't talk in riddles!!

[KevZen2000]

This is one of the best lectures on Buddhism.

[lcw1980]

Still think buddhist's are simpletons? Shit, I should call this spiritual science than religion!

[Kizenkai]

@lcw1980 Buddhism isn't a religion, it's a spiritual path or way of life!

[AlexanderHarcourt]

this reminds me of the youtube clip total recall return to reality

[sueryun]

his talk gives me great peace, i feel enlightened already

[Shadus13]

Indeed to all~~~

[satjathamma]

very wise and correct, very good spoken

[hexomania]

i like the way that buddhism is self-centered, the perfection of mind and body.. unlike god-centered religions

[timkul76]

so deep

[ekovinil]

very good speaker

[xBrutalEdgex]

That is some good shit!

[salek121]

[hazymoonzencenter]

@SANTIAGOMBU Hi there, unfortunately not at this time.

[goheine]

[jattwooll]

brilliant!!

[samforever321]

i like buddhism

[telfairchaseway]

Very wise words.

[kizure7]

amazing!

[jigglyfidda125]

buddhism is the most peaceful religion

[aperculum]

@jigglyfidda125 I don't think religion is a right word for Buddhism. It's more like a way of life, a philosophy, a way to the end of suffering.

[aloozer]

oh yes it is without a doubt

[1776freedomordie]

@jigglyfidda125

aggreed

[Kannan000]

Amazing. Thank you!

[slamongo]

he's a great speaker

[ProtoMan513]

Can someone point me to the best video that explains a basic introduction to Buddhism?? I am trying to study it and im running into the wrong video's, they are either too long, or too deep into it that i dont understand it yet.

[anatta1111]

We'll said good sir. It's so easy and so close that you end up missing it in all of the searching. Right here, right now, EVERYTHING is just as it should be, and it's really great. Look, but do not seek!

[clickswitchh]

where is this Roshi situated ?

[38vausa]

Excellent!!

[7upIsLove]

most fun i've had all day!

[MM28262]

I wish this monk was close to were I live so I could attend his lectures.He's great!

[exclamation3mark]

such a cool monk, so relevant

[AllahConsciousness]

Words of wisdom eons beyond our time.....LOL! wow!  Superb!

[blaylockcameron]

Please post more! I admire your words

[mujaku]

From the highest realization, that is, from seeing pure mind (cittamatra), there is no one to save. Such a mind is positive, however. Buddhism is just not negation - of sweeping all away and accepting nothingness. Far from it. In truth, *that* which animates this temporal body is the pure mind. But we don't see it because we are attached to what is temporal and subject to destruction. So first we have to negate what is temporal and subject to destruction to see pure mind!

[pinedawg]

Super!

[clickswitchh]

So true ...

[LAGDOW]

very good i love this video .thank you very Much.

[nknowles]

lol awesome!

[LAGDOW]

good to see this video i believe it makes you great what you think that gives you healing .your live

[uhkolieb]

This man is excellent.

[bummercucumber]

This was really interesting.

I never noticed how often I "talk" to myself in my head. I kept catching myself after he said it though.

[SepherEen]

There are lots of esoteric people out there who try to "heal the world" or "save everyone"(from whatever). I like this video, because it is a clear message: People don't need to be saved, if you look through the curtain of illusion.

[softbreeze123]

an insightful, clear message. Very helpful. Thank you.

[appleandgrapes]

Good talk, I think. It is one of the inspiring religious talks on youtube. By the way, is this instructor from Japan or China? Does anybody have any idea about it?

[halfmonk]

This is Nyogen Roshi. Nyogen Roshi is a successor of Maezumi Roshi, who brought Japanese Zen to the United States in 1956 and was widely considered the foremost Zen master of the 20th century. Nyogen Roshi was the last of only a dozen students authorized by Maezumi Roshi to succeed him as a teacher. Nyogen Roshi studied with Maezumi Roshi for 27 years.
