In an air of open, respectful debate - let's chat! I think you're agenda to attack "fantasy" is making you less objective.
Truth exists within "attachment is the root of evil". A man putting "an axe in your head" has motivations. Perhaps the axe murderer was attached to money. Therefore, he killed and robbed you.
In seeking "reality" you should read up on quantum physics, specifically space/time. It'll bring into question your notion of reality. Be wary of fixating on literal interpretations.
I like that you are sharing your views..but the dharma is essentially the same as the ten commandments..and Buddhist meditation the same as christian contemplation..and remember that when the two become one you shall enter the kingdom of heaven..Jesus wants you to discover your soul and meditating is a great way to meet it right now..the person you think you are is worldly and sinful..but not your true self which is just under the surface of the ego.. My advice would be to stay with Christianit
for you the only religions you except are the ones you are brainwashed with.. and also you dont know anything about buddhism, I bet you just wikipedia'd it or watched the amazing aethiests video and decided to make a video. buddhist are not vegetarians get your facts right before making a video.
I don't call myself a Buddhist, and I don't care about what the religion says, but I do believe that God is everything, and I believe in reincarnation, and Karma, and you don't need to be religious to believe that at all. It's basic science. Buddha never claimed to be a God, he was only trying to relieve suffering, and in case you haven't noticed, Christianity says pretty much the same thing about desire and the devil.
A 13 year old boy with a thesaurus, a webcam and no knowledge of anything other than what his parents taught him to believe. There is a display of closed minded hostility in your words.........well love to you.
You are NOT your history. Your true nature exists outside of time and space. It has no memory. It lives in this eternal Present Moment. It is Unborn, and therefore, Deathless.
"All this world is filled with coming and going: show me the path where there is no coming and there is no going." (coming and going = birth and death).
At least for Zen Buddhism, what is important to understand is that it gets itself out of the way so that you can SEE. It is a 'finger pointing to the moon, but is not the moon itself'. Zen defines itself as the 'doctrineless doctrine', and so, there is nothing to believe in. It is the path to the spiritual experience, but is not the spiritual experience itself. And that is the beauty of it.
For the producer of this video: here is a small sweetmeat for your eyes of night, that you may b become humble and learn to see: search YouTube for: Alan Watts - What Buddhism's About
"This hawk of truth is swift and flies with a still cry, a small sweetmeat for the eyes of night."
Tao te Ching, continued: The Buddhist way of saying this, that "these two things issued from the same mould', is: "Nirvana and Samsara are One". Because desire produces cause and effect, ie 'outcomes', one suffers their undesirable consequences. Therefore, the wise act without acting. They leave no trace. Remember the kung fu dragon master walking on rice paper without tearing it.
re: "desire and suffering": the key to understanding this can be found in the Chinese Tao te Ching, Ch. 1: "...Truly, 'Only he that rids himself forever of desire can see the Secret Essences' ; He that has never rid himself of desire can see only the Outcomes. These two things issued from the same mould, but nevertheless are different in name. This ' same mould' we can but call the Mystery, Or rather the 'Darker than any Mystery, The Doorway whence issued all Secret Essences."
You are misled. The Buddha did not say that life is suffering. He used the word Dukkha which is the same word used to describe a flat tire or other inconvenience not suffering in the sense of constant pain. Many people let these things ruin their days and after enough of those in a row, their life. I could not help but notice how much effort you put into sounding intelligent but none of it was applied to research of the actual practice or writings.
@TGLymantaiste Yes, 'dukkha'. Translates roughly as 'unsatisfactoriness', or, in more psychological terms, 'metaphysical distress or anxiety' and 'angst'. We are socialized beings, asleep on the 3rd level of consciousness, thinking ourselves to be real. Life is actually fiction. Something tells us something is not quite right. That is dukkha, I believe. What say you?
@danjrael1 I say,,,, Yes your assessment of the meaning of dukkha is accurate it can mean and is used to describe all manner of irritations from minor intellectual anxiety Like "I feel odd today and dont know why" to, "Good heavens,one of my fingers has just been eaten by a tiger"!!!!. I agree that we are social animals. Not sure about what level we are asleep on. I try and avoid those kind of arguments because they do not add to the solution. But to say that most are "asleep" is accurate.......
@danjrael1 When teaching I refer to most peoples normal state as "being on auto pilot" People say that time is flying by. well naturally, you dont notice something when you are not paying attention to it. If you want to live long pay attention to your life. in that "awakened" state each day seems to last much longer and be much more rewarding. As far as the thinking ourselves to be real and life is fiction. Niether statement is answerable and so serves no purpose in contemplation.
@TGLymantaiste The 1st State of Consciousness is Sleep without Dreams; the 2nd is Sleep with Dreams; the 3rd is Waking Sleep, or Identification, which is the state most of mankind is in when it goes about its daily routines. The 4th is Self-Transcendence, which is that of The Observer. It is an Awakened State. Then there is Cosmic Consciousness and Supreme Enlightenment above, the state the Buddha reached.
@danjrael1 I thought you rejected Buddhism? You seem to be very concerned with categorizing and naming things. Buddhism is really not that complicated. Yes there are many complicated aspects of the religion and much time can and has been spent studying the psychology behind it but you do not need to memorize or even read them all to get the benefits of the religion/practice. May I suggest that you try it instead of read about it.
@TGLymantaiste Excuse me, but I do believe you are addressing the wrong person. I accept Buddhism. I think you wish to address the producer of this video? I am not that person.
@danjrael1 While I agree somewhat I would say that it is far more important especially for the beginner to practice the meditations and work on the basic mindfulness that can lead to enlightenment. I have read most of the sacred texts and while they are all very good and I would not detract from their historical value an understanding of them is not a prerequisite of enlightenment or happiness an and can acttually hinder progress of the novice by distraction.
@danjrael1 They mistake knowing about enlightenment for enlightenment. Much the same way many on the internet mistake reading about a subject will replace the actual experience. One may read every chiltons manual and still not be able to fix their car.
@danjrael1 But having said that i will also say that yes many of the problems we make for ourselves are fictional and to solve them we need only to eliminate them from our minds. "I cannot possibly be happy unless I have a gold plated 1967 Edsel" Is an example of a fictional problem that is easily solved. "I have just accidently jabbed myself in the eye with a pencil"! is an example of dukkha that no amount of erasing from the mind will change so that would fall into the non-fiction category.
@danjrael1 If I had any short answers or advice and you are free of course to accept or reject this as you see fit is this. It is important and helpful to seek the wisdom and teachings from other masters, Buddhas or just wise people but in the end awakening can only come from inside you. The words in the books are not a replacement for stillness in your mind.
@TGLymantaiste What I mean by 'life is fiction', is that the character we have become via socialization is NOT who we really are. That character is acting out a script written by others, and has taken that character seriously. Our true nature is asleep. Only upon spiritual awakening is it realized that the character is bogus. He is a fraud. What man ordinarily calls 'reality' is pure fiction. If it were real, it would lead to a state of happiness. Instead, it leads to Samsara.
( continuando) Desta forma, vemos o mundo como imperfeito, e certas sitas religiosas querem agir sobre ele para corrigi-lo em função daquilo que pretendemos para nós . Já os BUDISTAS, simplesmente, pensam em corrigir sua visão a fim de ver coisas como elas realmente são. Esta é a principal diferênça na conduta da maneira de agir de uns e a nossa. A diversidade de riquesas, entre os seres não é nem uma dádiva e nem uma provação, mas sim o resultado dos nossos atos. 李李少秦
A realidade é sempre a mesma se nós o vemos sómente pelo lado religioso simplesmente. O problema, portanto, existe tão só em nossa visão da realidade, o que existe na mente humana não é igual para todos. O PROBLEMA NÃO ESTÁ NO MUNDO. seja no pensamento cristão, mulsumano, judeo, budista ou outro pensamento religioso.
REALITY IS ALWAYS THE SAME WHETHER WE SEE IT AS DUAL OR NOT. THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE, EXISTS IN OUR VISION OF REALITY THAT EXISTS IN THE MIND. THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN THE WORLD. CHRISTIANITY SEES THE WORLD AS FLAWED VIA 'SIN' AND WANTS TO ACT UPON IT TO CORRECT IT. BUDDHISTS SIMPLY CORRECT THEIR VISION IN ORDER TO SEE THINGS AS THEY ACTUALLY ARE.
THE UNENLIGHTENED SEE THE WORLD AS TWO, AND THEREFORE, IN CONFLICT. HOWEVER, THIS CONFLICT EXISTS ORIGINALLY IN THE MIND AND NOT IN THE WORLD. THE MIND PROJECTS THE DELUSION OF DUALITY ON TO THE WORLD, AND THEN ACTS UPON THAT DELUSION, CREATING CONFLICT, AND THEREFORE, SUFFERING. THE ENLIGHTENED MIND SEES THE DUALITY AND UNDERSTANDS IT AS DELUSION, KNOWING THE TRUE NATURE OF DUALITY AS ONENESS. IT IS NOT FOOLED BY THE DELUSION, SO DOES NOT SUFFER.
@MegaDwell THE REAL LIARS, MURDERERS, AND DECEIVERS ARE XTIANS. IN THE NAME OF THEIR IMAGINARY IDOL, JESUS CHRIST, THEY KILL, PLUNDER, AND DESTROY WORLDWIDE WITH THE CROSS AND THE DOLLAR. THEY CREATE A LIVING HELL FOR THE REST OF US IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN. THEY ARE POSSESSED BY THEIR IDOL, SATAN.
@MegaDwell YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING: BUDDHA IS IN HELL, BUT NOT THE WAY YOU THINK. HE IS IN HELL BECAUSE HE HAS COMPASSION ON THOSE WHO ARE THERE. A BUDDHA CANNOT BE BURNED BY HELLFIRE BECAUSE HE HAS OVERCOME ALL DELUSION. BUDDHIST HELLS ARE NOT PHYSICAL PLACES, AS YOUR HYSTERIA TELLS YOU. THEY ARE PSYCHOLOGICAL HELLS, AND BUDDHISM HAS MANY WAYS OF HELPING THOSE IN THOSE STATES OF MIND. BUDDHIST HELLS ARE TEMPORARY STATES OF MIND.
@MegaDwell LOOKIE HERE, YOU STUPID FOOL: BUDDHISTS DON'T WORSHIP IDOLS. CHRISTIANS DO. THEY WORSHIP THE IDOLS OF JESUS CHRIST AND SATAN. WE KNOW THIS AS IDOLATROUS LOVE. IT IS NOT REAL LOVE AT ALL, THOUGH THE CHRISTIAN IDOLATORS THINK SO. THEY ARE THOROUGHLY DELUDED.
@MegaDwell REVELATION WAS WRITTEN BY JOHN OF PATMOS, WHO WAS EXILED TO THE ISLAND OF PATMOS BY THE ROMANS. HALLUCINOGENIC MUSHROOMS GROW RAMPANT AND WILD ALL OVER THIS ISLAND. RESEARCHERS HAVE STATED THAT REVELATION IS CONSISTENT WITH A SUBJECT UNDER THE SPELL OF HALLUCINOGENIC MUSHROOMS. REVELATION IS A SHAM.
@MegaDwell YOU'RE WRONG BECAUSE YOU'RE DELUDED. A BUDDHA IS ONE WHO HAS SEEN THROUGH THE FACADE; THROUGH THE GAME. HE KNOWS THAT THE CONFLICT BETWEEN 'JESUS' AND 'SATAN' IS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE BIG ACT. YOU ARE FOOLED BY THE FACADE/ILLUSION, AND BELIEVE IT TO BE REAL. IF YOU COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE DEVIL, DO NOT BE AFRAID. COMPLIMENT HIM ON THE QUALITY OF HIS ILLUSION. DO NOT LIVE IN FEAR. ASK BUDDHA TO SHED HIS LIGHT SO YOU MAY SEE.
@marianxtreme IF YOU CANNOT SEE PAST THE IMMATURITY AND ILLOGIC OF THIS KID, YOU ARE JUST IMPRESSED BY FLUFF DISGUISED AS INTELLIGENCE. YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK BUDDHISTS BELIEVE IN BUDDHA. THE FACT IS, FOOL, THAT ANY REAL BUDDHIST DROPS ALL BELIEFS AND BECOMES WHO HE/SHE REALLY IS: THE BUDDHA. YOU STILL THINK BUDDHA IS AN IDOL. GROW UP.
re: "On analyzing the 4 NOBLE truths, 'NOBLE' meaning: 'has no bearing to reality,'" Most likely you are here referring to the meaning of 'noble' as being 'aristocratic', hence, 'out of touch', but NOBLE has other meanings, in this case that of possessing an intrinsically superior or excellent quality or nature, especially as being cardinal principles as to how reality behaves. You obviously distort things to fit your teeth in a way which you enjoy rolling around your tongue. LIAR!
re: "Buddhism says very little, and makes no attempt to discover the truth."
Excuse me, sonny, but Buddhism is about the Silent World, which reflects Reality's true nature. Words about reality are secondary. Unlike your cacaphonous & voluminous Western 'knowledge', which is the sound and the fury, signifying NOTHING, Buddhism only need point. If you are alert, you will SEE things as they are, and not as your 'knowledge' thinks them to be.
One thing you fail to grasp is that the understanding contained within Buddhistic teachings is not rationally based; it is intuitively based insight. In other words, it does not come about via THINKING, but via SEEING. SEEING, without the obstruction/distortion of THOUGHT, is KNOWING. THOUGHT, on the other hand, only leads to opinion, belief, conjecture, hypothesis, and yes, FACT, but FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE is NOT understanding.
I just love it when cocksure motor-mouths press their faces up against the window pane and think they know it all from the outside looking in. Carlos Castaneda once said that, in the end, you will know NOTHING, and until you do, you will know NADA. re: 'causal links can never just be declared'. They can if you KNOW what you're talking about, but it is obvious you do NOT know what you're talking about. I'll explain as we go on...
In public school, I learn about Buddism, Islam, and Christian but every one know which religion kill millions of people, calling women who could assist labouring a child "witch" then nail them, drown them or kill them. Which religion and its followers burn scientist who discover that the earth isn't flat & square? that the earth is not the center of the universe? Go tell your family doctor that Darwin evolution theory is wrong & they are witches because they can cure other' illness, Oh, MIRACLE?
Are you in kindergarten? and talking about CARTOON? U just totally a joke yourself. Your opinion just bring shame on you once you look back 15 years from now unless you stuck in the age. Ya, the earth is quare, scientist who invented steam engine are called demon, Satan and get burned, is that what you accept and polish? instead of rejecting? Please fill your brain with knowledge and love, not hatred and cartoon opinion
Cocksure, cocky and stupid kid thinking he knows what he's blabbing about. It is these types that need to be humbled most of all before their eyes can be opened. Ah, but then again, a fool in his folly soon becomes wise....maybe....heh....heh....heh...
Buddhism is not a religion. It's a philosophy. What you said about it was total and utter crap. I'm fine if you disagree with it but judging by your views on it, you obvioudly don't even know what it's about.
'Mind Control"? In Buddhism, there is no such thing as 'mind'. It is an illusion. So what 'mind' is there that can be controlled, and who is there to control it? It is all an illusion of an illusion that is the self created by the self.
'The fundamental difference between Buddhism and other religions is that Buddhism has no God or gods before whom people bow down in return for peace of mind. The spirit enmeshed in the Buddha's teachings refuses to offer a god in exchange for freedom from anxiety. Instead, freedom from anxiety can only be found at that point where the Self (ie; the Infinite) settles naturally upon itself.' from: 'From the Zen Kitchen to Enlightenment', by Dogen/Uchiyama
Relative joy is always accompanied by relative suffering, and round and round you go. The only solution is to transcend these temporal dualities and realize Absolute Joy, which has no opposite. This is what Enlightenment is about.
Existence is suffering because, no matter how much 'fun' (ie; 'sensation; gratification') you pursue, it is TEMPORAL, and your condition remains, which is that of Metaphysical Distress. You don't know where you came from, why you're here, nor where you are going, which adds to your suffering. All pursuits of temporal gratification are balanced with their outcomes, temporal ungratifications, or 'cravings', for more and more, like an addiction.
Reason Buddha death is : ate poison mushroom even he knew it.===> Buddha was a suicide. See "The Buddha" in PBS. That why some his disciples were angry after his death.
Do buddhist believe in soul, karma? After die body return to soil? body is changing but the soul do not change. That why karma stick with each soul. Body can change to any thing. I suppose that the body change to inorganic. Do you think inorganic have a soul and karmar? Buddha make sure a living thing will be a living thing again after death? It could be inorganic-------> Reincarnate is wrong.
He was talking about the desire to have things that you can't obtain, because sociaty has a tendency to want what they can't have and not care about what they do have. The Buddha was teaching that if you get rid of this greed, this disire, to obcess about what you cannot obtain then emotional suffering and greif will be lessened dramaticly.
People have said it but I will once more... do your fucking research before you go making an ass of yourself
learn how to understand other religion first then talk shit about it. u r insane kid. i know that god doesnt created us. why cant people like you understand the fact that those "BUDDHIST" ppl are religious. im not a religious person but i believe in spiritual world and hell. all of religion just teaching us how to be good and we are trying to be good. so like u keep getting bad comments, im sure you know why.. if you dont know it i will tell you, it's u r very stupid to judge others believe.

Ooooooh....someone's nerve endings got burned by the light of day! You're just like those groupie Christians who huddle together in the dark, shouting to lend comfort to one another, except in your case, you find thumb-sucking solace in hating Buddhism with those of like mind. Mommy, I'm afraid...leave the light on.
Buddhism is NOT a religion you genius...You already lost your argument when you chose the words Buddhism and Religion in the same title...LOL. Go back to school and at least get a highschool diploma!
I imagine you were reading the Wikipedia article on the 4 noble truths for the first time as you composed this video and made up uninformed snarky remarks as you went along. No matter how nice your voice may sound, spewing meaningless insults will never be a valid refutation of something you do not understand. I'm sorry you feel the need to justify your personal beliefs by denigrating others.

At your age you probably don't have the responsabilities of an adult. When you go out into the world and have to pay your rent, raise children etc. You will probably start to realise how much of life is suffering. Young adults spend most of their time fighting boredom, and can't sit still for a moment. Entertainment is a good way of completely ignoing any suffering. But I can tell you that there is only so much entertainment you can have before you have seen and done it all.
@jaykulls BUDDHA WAS AN REAL SHIT AND NOW PEOPLE WORSHIP HIM WHAT THE FUCK ???? PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS SHIT CALLED BUDDHA ARE AMAZING IN THEIR STUPIDITY ..... STUPID PEOPLE FUCK BUDDHA
I'm against Buddhism myself, the Dalai Lama says "The problem is intelligence, and intelligence leads to narrow-mindedness", well that's false peace. Buddhism is screwed up and no sane person can accept such a religion. I used to go loopy when I was a Buddhist, I went soft and stupid, so no, you have to reject Buddhism, and do secularisation, no religion, because at least you frown upon religion because you're rational.
@Hoobifta BUDDHA WAS AN REAL SHIT AND NOW PEOPLE WORSHIP HIM WHAT THE FUCK ???? PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS SHIT CALLED BUDDHA ARE AMAZING IN THEIR STUPIDITY ..... STUPID PEOPLE FUCK BUDDHA
As far as I am aware, Buddhism takes the subjective experience very seriously and has explored the subtleties of it for 2,500 years. It would be appalling to denounce anecdotal evidence of the subjective experience when that is all there is. And just to quickly poke at your reference to suffering: What you said about "fun" experiences is exactly why existence IS suffering when you take it personally or try to find some personal existence in the impersonal Universe. This too is why it is Joyous.

Whoa young lad, your arguments are fundamentally flawed (though I don't suspect you will read this). First of all, Buddhism is the only frontier (besides certain schools of Psychology) that attempt to fully understand the truth, whatever you want to call that. It's easy to dismiss Buddhism at face-value without any inspection of what these "Noble Truths" are, but then you are the victim of what you are saying Buddhism is: Ignorant to the truth.
While you are entitled to your opinion, you should at least read something on the matter you are going to discuss. I mean no offense, but many of the things you said show you have no knowledge of buddhism at all.
Buddhism is not a religion but rather a philosophy of life that does not want you to believe in anything. Actually the emphasis is in living reality. It seems that you misunderstand Buddhism because you have a prejudice, comparing it with other "beliefs" or religions. You misunderstand the concepts of pain and suffering, for example. The Buddha said that pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. And suffering is caused by the desire of not having the pain ..... different concepts.

i am a buddhist monk fromr myanmar. yes you are true that Buddhism also has some points that today people doesn't liket. i welcome your ideas, but don't forget that , instead of criticizing buddhism, you should find something helpful in buddhism and better build your life.i am sure that buddhism has something irrelevant to today because it was built since over 2500 years ago.furthermore, i think u can't find any religions more relevant to today than buddhism.Buddhism call nos faith from you.
Though we grasp, through it we cannot achieve an end to that fundamental ignorance. Through it, we just can't seem to achieve lasting peace and contentment. Sure, pleasures there may be many for some, less for others, but each condition shall rize and pass instantly. Hence a fool seeks pleasures, but a wisened one seeks the peace of nirvana.
To my humble view; Buddha spoke of life as suffering due to a fundamental discontentment instigating all your actions throughout life. This discontentment comes from ignorance -- not having true existential awareness. Try it; just sit still without anything at all. Most people can't spend more than a few minutes without distracting themselves from a moment pure and still wherein they must face their own existential ignorance. To feel boredom is to feel fear, fear your true nescient condition.
your so young, so immature, so trapped, if your dad was a bhuddist im sure you would love it, come on now you, one being, one opinion, one of many minds controlled by the simpsons and your desire for social acceptence in certain circles that YOU find to be worthwhile because daddy and your school teachers said so, cant upload a video in an attempt to chance peoples beliefs, what was the purpose of this vid? because your biggest mistake was expecting the viewers to be as stupid as you are.
3)There is an end to suffering -- by letting go of that same clinging/craving, i.e not craving for or taking anything be it feeling, thought, form, perception, or experience to be me, mine or myself.
4)There is a path leading to the cessation of suffering -- in other words this third noble truth can be achieved by us by following a certain method. No belief, conversion, or money is required.
1) Suffering exists -- All beings must experience old age, sickness, death, loss of loved ones, loss of material possessions, disappointment, etc. 2) There is a cause for suffering--clinging/craving. So long as we desire some things and are averse to others we will exist in a state of dissatisfaction. No external thing can ever permanently satisfy us because all things are impermanent.
I can see what a tremendous douchebag you're growing into. You write these silly scripts for yourself because they give you a brief glow of power and self-worth. They have little in terms of content but much in terms of tone. It is sarcasm without wit and its sole function is to briefly cause you to feel secure in your modest intelligence. Decades from now, you will have lived and struggled and things will seem more complex to you. Hopefully you will have developed some humility by then.
little boy, the frontal lobe of your brain is not developed enough to understand buddhism. You don't have a chance to understand buddhism for many lives to come....too bad.
Buddhism has transgressed many countries, not only China, within the world.
Don't allow specifics or terminology to create a defined 'answer'.
Zen Buddhism is attached to letting go of control and finding the tantalizing answers. Wait until you are older until you close any options because you are not a constant. However, I share your realism but have found a comfortable position without snuffing the immaculate ideologies of others.
@devsahan BUDDHA WAS AN REAL SHIT AND NOW PEOPLE WORSHIP HIM WHAT THE FUCK ???? PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS SHIT CALLED BUDDHA ARE AMAZING IN THEIR STUPIDITY ..... STUPID PEOPLE FUCK BUDDHA
Eventhough you don't agree with their philosophy checkout the neuroscience articles on meditation, it's a good way of relieving anxiety, pain and to increase focus. Google on: sciencedaily meditation.
@00melo00 I have to side with Void, morphine is still better. Also, on a more serious note, meditation is simply a forced placebo-effect. Good idea to practice? Yes. But I see no argument for the religion itself linked to meditation.
If u happened to live wth the most unfair and most unforgiving environment wth no control over what is happening. What do you call it? Happy? Sad? Suffering? Or neither? You find a suitable word and talk about it. The words u r using are closest examples of ur language and they cannot be interpreted lk Wt u do.
Wow that makes 2 ready-made analogies between Buddha and this guy... They're both very good at projecting an image of what they're not, and both sound a little too sure about themselves... so counting me that's 3 of us in the mirror glass! 3 of us in the mirror glass!!!
And to begin with, Buddha would not have to project the image of being an happy-guy-whatever-happens if he would not live in a world of shit... just like this uninformed guy feels the need to project the image of being informed... sorry to let you know but this rule applies to prophets too... hahaha!!! Oh wait I haven't read 1000 books on the subject yet, I can't form myself a fast-food opinion! It would still be too objective for it to sound "informed"... hahaha! what a morron am I!
Lololol Okay it's obvious this guy sounds like he thinks he knows everything and bla bla (I know, I sound the same too). I really don't agree with all what he says but there is one good point all of you Buddhist purists should try to work on : realize that your stupid monks sound 10 times surer to hold the truth than this guy does. HAHAHA! so hilarious to read all your little frustrated-buddhist comments (no wait, I'm the frustrated-anti-buddhist hahaha!!!) I'd slap a monk over 100 like him!
after watching your videos about islam christianity and now buddhism, i have come to the conclusion that you are one of the most ignorant people on youtube
First of all, the "four noble truths" is an awful translation. It should be translated as something closer to "the noble's four truths". The truths themselves are not noble, the people who spoke of them and kept them alive after the death of Siddhartha Gautama are noble. Second of all, the first noble truth, dukkha/duhkha, can seam rather pessimistic and incorrect if you don't look further into the religion. Your main problem with your argument is your horrid translation of the religion itself.
Okay well before I start this I'd just like to point out something, why is it that it's always fucking limey ass Brits and australians that don't like Buddhism? Someone should answer that btw
Okay so I'm Buddhist, and I understand monks remain abstain-ant and don't mess with technology, but I mean look at the facts of sex and technology: with sex there's a huge risk of getting STD's and aids. With technology there's all that stress that comes from having your computer crash, losing your files
@MakotoSamuraiPanda I am a Buddhist myself, but before you condemn this kid to stupidity, remember to have the right mindfulness. There is no reason to be irritated due to his lack of knowledge. All we can do is attempt to inform him of his mistakes that he has made upon our religion. No reason to get angry at him, he is allowed to believe what he wants. If you really feel the need to pick apart his argument, send a response video, showing the reality of Buddhism, and not his misconceptions.
@MakotoSamuraiPanda With sex you can get on with the same partner over and over, like many do, or do like a friend I have who scored well over 100 girls and is only in his mid 30's : be wise USE YOUR JUDGEMENT (you know this word you're so affraid of!). And the same can be said about technology : I've been using it for over 10 years now and have lost little or no files of actual IMPORTANCE cause those i JUDGE important I "STRESS" more about protecting them... you know, as in "making an effort"
Well, kid. Got to hand it to ya, You have a way with words. I am not sure if you are reading them off a dummy card or not... Never the less, you have no idea of what you are talking about. Why don´t you use that intellectual skill of yours to really try and understand the underlying meaning of the subject instead. Don´t waste it on stupidity like this, making silly statements on matters so far beyond your reach of understanding. Stay in school.
@cyprescrow BUDDHA WAS AN REAL SHIT AND NOW PEOPLE WORSHIP HIM WHAT THE FUCK ???? PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS SHIT CALLED BUDDHA ARE AMAZING IN THEIR STUPIDITY ..... STUPID PEOPLE FUCK BUDDHA
you are suffering right now, trying to understand your self but you are there to understand . I think you are not the right time right now. you are 100% suffering right now by sitting your room. i hope you are not alone and feel lonely. if you don't have a girlfriend.( you are suffering )
@sonyleas Um him not having a girlfriend doesn't mean he is suffering, in fact by saying that your pretty much admitting you need a girlfriend to not suffer. That sounds like a want by your part hence you are suffering as we all are. Suffering will never go just like your thoughts will never go, however what goes or changes is your relationship with them.
Kid, you are seriously misrepresenting the Buddha! You DO NOT have to be vegetarian, meditate all day, or celibate, to be a Buddhist!...in essence, it's about:
Avoiding unwholesonme actions
Practicing good actions
Purifying your mind.
I think you need to go back and study a bit more before making such glib assertions (I say this with no malice, but in kindness).
It is clear you have read the highlight of the religion but don't know anything of what it means. The Headache or axe in the head are not suffering. The desire to not have pain when you can't avoid pain is the suffering.
If you had bothered to delve into Buddha teaching you would know that fun is not happiness. Fun is simply fun and is transitory. Then you desire "fun" when none is available and you suffer. It would be wise for you to know about this topic before critiquing.
2:00 - The aphorism has been around for millenia, not centuries. Pascal, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, etc used similar lines of thought, but Buddhists used it waaaaay before they did.
Plus, your "rebuttals" of the 4NT are totally shite and poor attempts at humor. Why not wipe that smug grin off your face and come up with *real* criticisms?
1:00 - Not all Buddhists are vegetarians, and some sects allow monastics to marry and have children. Laypeople can pretty much have as much sex as they want. Also, most monastics in the modern day use technology. Not all schools of Buddhism promote meditation
wow kid, then after reading Genesis, I should reject Christian faith due to ALL the "funky/non-sense" stories & mystic powers? How about "WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN???" It's very easy to destroy anything little man -trust me, I spent years in the Marines. However, faith and conviction are very difficult things to build.
You have chosen the easier path. Your ego covers your fear...
"Existence is not suffering" Buddhagem counter explains this one quite clearly. I have not seen a better example of this on youtube. Buddha says there will be suffering should we fall to (greed, hatred, anger, ignorance). Once we realise that these are undesirable traits that manifests itself when something does not go our way then we are able to take a step into the right direction. Most of his teachings focus on the wholesomeness and simplicity of life. Happiness is a result of our contentment
@narlzp yes, the word is "duka" and it does not mean suffering.. it equates more to "dissatisfaction".
life is not suffering.. it is however permeated with an underlying sense of dissatisfaction. All things are impermanence, all things are born, come into existence, and die, leaving existence.
the people you love will die, you will die, no matter how many things we consider good happen in our life. there is always the dissatisfaction of sickness, old age, and death.
There are some children who grew up in North Korean Labor Camps and never saw the outside world. There ara many such similar examples in China as well. They are suffering their whole live and their standard of living is so low that for westerners it's unimaginable. But if you ask them if they suffer they will tell you no, and they will tell you that they are the happiest people in the world and that they love and thank the Party. Because they have no standard of comparison.
Sarcasm is dead.

In an air of open, respectful debate - let's chat! I think you're agenda to attack "fantasy" is making you less objective.
Truth exists within "attachment is the root of evil". A man putting "an axe in your head" has motivations. Perhaps the axe murderer was attached to money. Therefore, he killed and robbed you.
In seeking "reality" you should read up on quantum physics, specifically space/time. It'll bring into question your notion of reality. Be wary of fixating on literal interpretations.

I like that you are sharing your views..but the dharma is essentially the same as the ten commandments..and Buddhist meditation the same as christian contemplation..and remember that when the two become one you shall enter the kingdom of heaven..Jesus wants you to discover your soul and meditating is a great way to meet it right now..the person you think you are is worldly and sinful..but not your true self which is just under the surface of the ego.. My advice would be to stay with Christianit

I don't call myself a Buddhist, and I don't care about what the religion says, but I do believe that God is everything, and I believe in reincarnation, and Karma, and you don't need to be religious to believe that at all. It's basic science. Buddha never claimed to be a God, he was only trying to relieve suffering, and in case you haven't noticed, Christianity says pretty much the same thing about desire and the devil.

At least for Zen Buddhism, what is important to understand is that it gets itself out of the way so that you can SEE. It is a 'finger pointing to the moon, but is not the moon itself'. Zen defines itself as the 'doctrineless doctrine', and so, there is nothing to believe in. It is the path to the spiritual experience, but is not the spiritual experience itself. And that is the beauty of it.

Tao te Ching, continued: The Buddhist way of saying this, that "these two things issued from the same mould', is: "Nirvana and Samsara are One". Because desire produces cause and effect, ie 'outcomes', one suffers their undesirable consequences. Therefore, the wise act without acting. They leave no trace. Remember the kung fu dragon master walking on rice paper without tearing it.

re: "desire and suffering": the key to understanding this can be found in the Chinese Tao te Ching, Ch. 1: "...Truly, 'Only he that rids himself forever of desire can see the Secret Essences' ; He that has never rid himself of desire can see only the Outcomes. These two things issued from the same mould, but nevertheless are different in name. This ' same mould' we can but call the Mystery, Or rather the 'Darker than any Mystery, The Doorway whence issued all Secret Essences."

TheRagingFoxhound 2 weeks ago
You are misled. The Buddha did not say that life is suffering. He used the word Dukkha which is the same word used to describe a flat tire or other inconvenience not suffering in the sense of constant pain. Many people let these things ruin their days and after enough of those in a row, their life. I could not help but notice how much effort you put into sounding intelligent but none of it was applied to research of the actual practice or writings.
TGLymantaiste 2 weeks ago
@TGLymantaiste Yes, 'dukkha'. Translates roughly as 'unsatisfactoriness', or, in more psychological terms, 'metaphysical distress or anxiety' and 'angst'. We are socialized beings, asleep on the 3rd level of consciousness, thinking ourselves to be real. Life is actually fiction. Something tells us something is not quite right. That is dukkha, I believe. What say you?
danjrael1 2 weeks ago
@danjrael1 I say,,,, Yes your assessment of the meaning of dukkha is accurate it can mean and is used to describe all manner of irritations from minor intellectual anxiety Like "I feel odd today and dont know why" to, "Good heavens,one of my fingers has just been eaten by a tiger"!!!!. I agree that we are social animals. Not sure about what level we are asleep on. I try and avoid those kind of arguments because they do not add to the solution. But to say that most are "asleep" is accurate.......

@danjrael1 When teaching I refer to most peoples normal state as "being on auto pilot" People say that time is flying by. well naturally, you dont notice something when you are not paying attention to it.

As far as the thinking ourselves to be real and life is fiction. Niether statement is answerable and so serves no purpose in contemplation.

@TGLymantaiste The 1st State of Consciousness is Sleep without Dreams; the 2nd is Sleep with Dreams; the 3rd is Waking Sleep, or Identification, which is the state most of mankind is in when it goes about its daily routines. The 4th is Self-Transcendence, which is that of The Observer. It is an Awakened State. Then there is Cosmic Consciousness and Supreme Enlightenment above, the state the Buddha reached.

@danjrael1 But having said that i will also say that yes many of the problems we make for ourselves are fictional and to solve them we need only to eliminate them from our minds. "I cannot possibly be happy unless I have a gold plated 1967 Edsel" Is an example of a fictional problem that is easily solved. "I have just accidently jabbed myself in the eye with a pencil"! is an example of dukkha that no amount of erasing from the mind will change so that would fall into the non-fiction category.

@danjrael1 If I had any short answers or advice and you are free of course to accept or reject this as you see fit is this. It is important and helpful to seek the wisdom and teachings from other masters, Buddhas or just wise people but in the end awakening can only come from inside you. The words in the books are not a replacement for stillness in your mind.
TGLymantaiste 2 weeks ago
@TGLymantaiste What I mean by 'life is fiction', is that the character we have become via socialization is NOT who we really are. That character is acting out a script written by others, and has taken that character seriously. Our true nature is asleep. Only upon spiritual awakening is it realized that the character is bogus. He is a fraud. What man ordinarily calls 'reality' is pure fiction. If it were real, it would lead to a state of happiness. Instead, it leads to Samsara.

re: "On analyzing the 4 NOBLE truths, 'NOBLE' meaning: 'has no bearing to reality,'" Most likely you are here referring to the meaning of 'noble' as being 'aristocratic', hence, 'out of touch', but NOBLE has other meanings, in this case that of possessing an intrinsically superior or excellent quality or nature, especially as being cardinal principles as to how reality behaves. You obviously distort things to fit your teeth in a way which you enjoy rolling around your tongue. LIAR!

Excuse me, sonny, but Buddhism is about the Silent World, which reflects Reality's true nature. Words about reality are secondary. Unlike your cacaphonous & voluminous Western 'knowledge', which is the sound and the fury, signifying NOTHING, Buddhism only need point. If you are alert, you will SEE things as they are, and not as your 'knowledge' thinks them to be.
danjrael1 3 weeks ago
One thing you fail to grasp is that the understanding contained within Buddhistic teachings is not rationally based; it is intuitively based insight. In other words, it does not come about via THINKING, but via SEEING. SEEING, without the obstruction/distortion of THOUGHT, is KNOWING. THOUGHT, on the other hand, only leads to opinion, belief, conjecture, hypothesis, and yes, FACT, but FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE is NOT understanding.

At your age you probably don't have the responsabilities of an adult. When you go out into the world and have to pay your rent, raise children etc. You will probably start to realise how much of life is suffering. Young adults spend most of their time fighting boredom, and can't sit still for a moment. Entertainment is a good way of completely ignoing any suffering. But I can tell you that there is only so much entertainment you can have before you have seen and done it all.

As far as I am aware, Buddhism takes the subjective experience very seriously and has explored the subtleties of it for 2,500 years. It would be appalling to denounce anecdotal evidence of the subjective experience when that is all there is. And just to quickly poke at your reference to suffering: What you said about "fun" experiences is exactly why existence IS suffering when you take it personally or try to find some personal existence in the impersonal Universe. This too is why it is Joyous.

Whoa young lad, your arguments are fundamentally flawed (though I don't suspect you will read this).

The Buddha said that pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. And suffering is caused by the desire of not having the pain ..... different concepts.

i am a buddhist monk fromr myanmar. yes you are true that Buddhism also has some points that today people doesn't liket. i welcome your ideas, but don't forget that , instead of criticizing buddhism, you should find something helpful in buddhism and better build your life.i am sure that buddhism has something irrelevant to today because it was built since over 2500 years ago.furthermore, i think u can't find any religions more relevant to today than buddhism.Buddhism call nos faith from you.

Though we grasp, through it we cannot achieve an end to that fundamental ignorance. Through it, we just can't seem to achieve lasting peace and contentment. Sure, pleasures there may be many for some, less for others, but each condition shall rize and pass instantly. Hence a fool seeks pleasures, but a wisened one seeks the peace of nirvana.

To my humble view; Buddha spoke of life as suffering due to a fundamental discontentment instigating all your actions throughout life. This discontentment comes from ignorance -- not having true existential awareness. Try it; just sit still without anything at all. Most people can't spend more than a few minutes without distracting themselves from a moment pure and still wherein they must face their own existential ignorance. To feel boredom is to feel fear, fear your true nescient condition.

3)There is an end to suffering -- by letting go of that same clinging/craving, i.e not craving for or taking anything be it feeling, thought, form, perception, or experience to be me, mine or myself.
4)There is a path leading to the cessation of suffering -- in other words this third noble truth can be achieved by us by following a certain method. No belief, conversion, or money is required.
EverythingSpirals 5 months ago
1) Suffering exists -- All beings must experience old age, sickness, death, loss of loved ones, loss of material possessions, disappointment, etc. 2) There is a cause for suffering--clinging/craving. So long as we desire some things and are averse to others we will exist in a state of dissatisfaction. No external thing can ever permanently satisfy us because all things are impermanent.

I can see what a tremendous douchebag you're growing into. You write these silly scripts for yourself because they give you a brief glow of power and self-worth. They have little in terms of content but much in terms of tone. It is sarcasm without wit and its sole function is to briefly cause you to feel secure in your modest intelligence. Decades from now, you will have lived and struggled and things will seem more complex to you. Hopefully you will have developed some humility by then.

You're extremely bright and equally negligent.
Buddhism has transgressed many countries, not only China, within the world.
Don't allow specifics or terminology to create a defined 'answer'.
Zen Buddhism is attached to letting go of control and finding the tantalizing answers. Wait until you are older until you close any options because you are not a constant. However, I share your realism but have found a comfortable position without snuffing the immaculate ideologies of others.

Eventhough you don't agree with their philosophy checkout the neuroscience articles on meditation, it's a good way of relieving anxiety, pain and to increase focus. Google on: sciencedaily meditation.

And to begin with, Buddha would not have to project the image of being an happy-guy-whatever-happens if he would not live in a world of shit... just like this uninformed guy feels the need to project the image of being informed... sorry to let you know but this rule applies to prophets too... hahaha!!! Oh wait I haven't read 1000 books on the subject yet, I can't form myself a fast-food opinion! It would still be too objective for it to sound "informed"... hahaha! what a morron am I!

First of all, the "four noble truths" is an awful translation. It should be translated as something closer to "the noble's four truths". The truths themselves are not noble, the people who spoke of them and kept them alive after the death of Siddhartha Gautama are noble. Second of all, the first noble truth, dukkha/duhkha, can seam rather pessimistic and incorrect if you don't look further into the religion. Your main problem with your argument is your horrid translation of the religion itself.

Okay well before I start this I'd just like to point out something, why is it that it's always fucking limey ass Brits and australians that don't like Buddhism? Someone should answer that btw
Okay so I'm Buddhist, and I understand monks remain abstain-ant and don't mess with technology, but I mean look at the facts of sex and technology: with sex there's a huge risk of getting STD's and aids. With technology there's all that stress that comes from having your computer crash, losing your files
MakotoSamuraiPanda 9 months ago
@MakotoSamuraiPanda I am a Buddhist myself, but before you condemn this kid to stupidity, remember to have the right mindfulness. There is no reason to be irritated due to his lack of knowledge. All we can do is attempt to inform him of his mistakes that he has made upon our religion. No reason to get angry at him, he is allowed to believe what he wants. If you really feel the need to pick apart his argument, send a response video, showing the reality of Buddhism, and not his misconceptions.

@MakotoSamuraiPanda With sex you can get on with the same partner over and over, like many do, or do like a friend I have who scored well over 100 girls and is only in his mid 30's : be wise USE YOUR JUDGEMENT (you know this word you're so affraid of!). And the same can be said about technology : I've been using it for over 10 years now and have lost little or no files of actual IMPORTANCE cause those i JUDGE important I "STRESS" more about protecting them... you know, as in "making an effort"

@sonyleas Um him not having a girlfriend doesn't mean he is suffering, in fact by saying that your pretty much admitting you need a girlfriend to not suffer. That sounds like a want by your part hence you are suffering as we all are. Suffering will never go just like your thoughts will never go, however what goes or changes is your relationship with them.

Kid, you are seriously misrepresenting the Buddha! You DO NOT have to be vegetarian, meditate all day, or celibate, to be a Buddhist!...in essence, it's about:
Avoiding unwholesonme actions
Practicing good actions
Purifying your mind.
I think you need to go back and study a bit more before making such glib assertions (I say this with no malice, but in kindness).
hearts0ngs 11 months ago
It is clear you have read the highlight of the religion but don't know anything of what it means. The Headache or axe in the head are not suffering. The desire to not have pain when you can't avoid pain is the suffering.
If you had bothered to delve into Buddha teaching you would know that fun is not happiness. Fun is simply fun and is transitory. Then you desire "fun" when none is available and you suffer. It would be wise for you to know about this topic before critiquing.

2:00 - The aphorism has been around for millenia, not centuries. Pascal, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, etc used similar lines of thought, but Buddhists used it waaaaay before they did.
Plus, your "rebuttals" of the 4NT are totally shite and poor attempts at humor. Why not wipe that smug grin off your face and come up with *real* criticisms?

1:00 - Not all Buddhists are vegetarians, and some sects allow monastics to marry and have children. Laypeople can pretty much have as much sex as they want. Also, most monastics in the modern day use technology. Not all schools of Buddhism promote meditation

"Existence is not suffering" Buddhagem counter explains this one quite clearly. I have not seen a better example of this on youtube. Buddha says there will be suffering should we fall to (greed, hatred, anger, ignorance). Once we realise that these are undesirable traits that manifests itself when something does not go our way then we are able to take a step into the right direction. Most of his teachings focus on the wholesomeness and simplicity of life. Happiness is a result of our contentment
narlzp 1 year ago
@narlzp yes, the word is "duka" and it does not mean suffering.. it equates more to "dissatisfaction".
life is not suffering.. it is however permeated with an underlying sense of dissatisfaction. All things are impermanence, all things are born, come into existence, and die, leaving existence.
the people you love will die, you will die, no matter how many things we consider good happen in our life. there is always the dissatisfaction of sickness, old age, and death.

There are some children who grew up in North Korean Labor Camps and never saw the outside world. There ara many such similar examples in China as well. They are suffering their whole live and their standard of living is so low that for westerners it's unimaginable. But if you ask them if they suffer they will tell you no, and they will tell you that they are the happiest people in the world and that they love and thank the Party. Because they have no standard of comparison.
