History of Tibetan Buddhism (1 of 15)

[MrWhoboy]

I saw the film My Reincarnation. Wonderful documentary. About a Rinpoche who fled from Tibet and is now residing in Italy teaching Buddhism and going abroad around the world spreading his teachings. The film takes you into the personal lives of the Rinpoche and tells you his and his families story. Shot over twenty years the film is an excellent journey into the life of a Rinpoche. myreincarnationfilm. com

[melisse1123]

I need to go through all of these videos!!! I just saw the film My Reincarnation and I'm totally hooked on Buddhism. I wish I'd gotten into it sooner. Has anyone else seen the film? bitly .com/t3FuWB

buddhism in tibet is very different from the buddhism that is practiced in different pars in asia.

[taliesin939939]

i think the interpreter could have done a better job... but all in all.. this video helps people. so i like this video.

[BubblesXplode]

That interpreter needs to open his mouth, I could barely understand what he was saying :/

[ActraiserIII]

Tibet is the new Isreal. This time Buddhism will spread like a virus and adapt itself to the Western cultures. It's already happening with the Mind and Life Institute and other high level studies. The Chinese are killing Communism by propagating multiple humane alternatives to despotism. Which will succeed in crowding it out in the future. It's the only alternative sensible people will accept, given the potential of our present age. Thanks to Tibetans keeping the flame lit.

rather do Bon

inspiring...love it !

The truth does not require an interpretation nor a defense. No amount of premises render the truth untrue. The truth cannot be attacked because it is invunerable. A defense is only required against an attack but a defense is attacking back. True knowledge is truth, so to know truth is to be invulnerable. The truth lies within so stop fighting and let the truth set you free.

[UnknowablEnigma]

@CoryJames25 I appear to be confused by your words, "truth", or "the truth"?

Which truth 'is' truer?

*sigh* I guess I don't know enough 'true' knowledge, maybe I should know more?

Last time I checked within I found indigestion and mild flatulence, perhaps I'm looking within the wrong place? Maybe truth lies some other place maybe in you? I wonder if you'er "the truth" is truer then any other 'true' truth?

*sigh* Alas this fool will have to be satisfied with gaseous expulsions for the moment.

[iloveoatmeal88]

man this is boring... it might be original but this long video with the poor translator is just killing interest.

[charlies550]

fuck tibetan buddhism and tibet those people are confused and dont know what they want

[chimidashark]

best buddhism! free tibet. fuck chinese govt.

[DRSamSamSamurai]

@chimidashark its comments like this that ruine videos like this that are trying to explain the background and history of a religion. All your comment does is distract people from the message of the video.

[NKTsurvivors]

Five years since leaving the cult, and I still haven't been able to put together a modicum of daily practice. I know the NKT does not have ownership over the Dharma, but I find it a lot harder to practice without the support. I find it a lot harder to practice without the benefit of receiving teachings. There is nothing in my area for meditation centers OTHER THAN THE FREAKIN' NKT! They're everywhere, in disguise. All the websites of their local centers are like "meditationin______ dot orrg."

[Gavriel0]

Don't give up... You should travel to learn Ngondro from a lineage you lie, and practice on your own. You can do it!

I believe in you.

@NKTsurvivors

[charlies550]

[cIoserelative]

@charlies550

Yawn. Just another of Dale's playthings.

[cIoserelative]

@charlies550

Yao shi ni bu ai Tibetan Buddhism, then just don't follow it! Sheesh!

TMD wumaodang.

[charlies550]

@cIoserelative who says im going to im criticing on the page you dumbass tibetans bastardized the whole philosophy mixed it with bon and there fucked up culture

[the26thhour]

@charlies550

Tibetan Buddhism is said to be the purest branch to the original teachings of the Buddha

What is ur definition of true Buddhism?

[charlies550]

@the26thhour the religon was made after gautams death buddha didnt need a following only people hearing his words breaking people free from ignorance and tibetans just put themselves in the ignorance that the jains and hindus did in buddhas time spining holy objects and praying to deity king thinking that he is going to save their lives there is no pure branch of buddhism

[the26thhour]

@charly

Not trying to be smart but I'm guessing u already know its not a Religion,right?

& I did ask u about Buddhism,not how the layman chooses to view it.

I suspect u r right in that today,there probably isn't a 100% pure strain of Buddhism,other than those whom choose to only study the original teachings

Even the Dalai Lama says there's too much unnecessary ritual in Buddhism but when asked why he doesn't change it,he replied (paraphrasing,sorry) Buddhism is not just his.

[charlies550]

@the26thhour there is no rituals in buddhist philosophy so i dont know what the you heard from the dalai lama the answer i gave you isnt in layman terms its in the correct view either you understand it or dont tibetan buddhism is stupid and the chinese for destroying temples and statues thats great because you dont need temples and statues

[the26thhour]

@charlies550

I think we're having a misunderstanding

I didn't say u said it in laymen's terms, I said ur answer, was discussing how the public chose to perceive the teachings & is not relevant to the teachings passed down to the Monks,which is what I was refering to

I didn't say ritual in the philosophy I just said ritual.

For eg, if all the ppl who practice the same pastime, choose to meet up 1 day a week, at a certain time on that 1 particular day, more than once, that alone, is a ritual

[charlies550]

@the26thhour there is no misunderstanding i dont think you comprehend english well when i said that tibetans use holy objects and rituals i said that that has nothing to do with buddhsm even praying is unnessacry fuck tibetan buddishm and fuck tibet

[the26thhour]

@charlies550

Are, ok so you understand me, you're just not interested in confirming that

Only that you clearly hate a philosophy & a ppl that don't deserve it

Not that any do but it would just make more sense if you hated the oppressor rather than the oppressee

[charlies550]

@the26thhour tibetan buddhism isnt a philosophy its a religon thats dumb and tibetans fucked themselves they couldve been rich and devolped but they isolated themselves and destroyed themselves following a man thats unfit for a leader and that man can go and jump off a bridge tibets a disgrace in the himalayan reigon

[the26thhour]

@charlies550

No, the West declared it a Religion while it itself has always maintained that it is a Philosophy

U can choose to acknowledge that fact or deny it

Buddha's goal was to attain a state of self liberation

Haven't u noticed that it is the only 1 (including dead Religions) that doesn't discuss gods or the need to bow in servitude to any Lord to attain happiness?

& the rest of ur comment is just an opinion, & we all have our fare share of those 8)

[charlies550]

@the26thhour  the west didnt declare it a religion i dont think you know what the definition of religion is the words of buddha is philosophy you keep repeating what i say your arguement is weakkkkkkk

[the26thhour]

@charly

Well there in lies the problem,u r the only 1 having an argument

U r young & therefore,know everything without actually going to the source yourself & finding out what the truth really is.Just by ur remark about the definition of what a religion is,who decided that?Do u know,I don't but it only confirms the fact of what I only just told u

Regardless of what 1 circle declares as the definition of what a religion is,the actual person who created Buddhism,defined it as something else

[the26thhour]

@charlies550

Another eg of what it is I'm saying:

In the middle of Australia is a big red rock that the world came to know as Ayers Rock

& why was it called that,cause some white guy who was the first Westerner to see it,continued the tradition of declaring himself the 1st person to have discovered it

& the Western school system & every doco thereafter continued that illusion by telling the story as such... regardless of the ppl whom had already been there for 60 thousand yrs who called it Uluru

[randomlaughingman]

@charlies550 = faggot liar. they were invaded and plundered because they were (are) so rich in all the qualities that actually matter in existience. evil wanted to own that, without evolving itself properly to attain knowledge and so forth. and cause dumb people like u exist, evil was able to destroy that last sactuary on this planet for evolved normal people to exist in. now it's even less accessible than it was and there won't be a real teacher ever again, til u r all gone. kill yourself.

[respaixnorbu]

I am a tibetan, have been learning english for many years. Here, I confirme to the viewers that many parts of Rinpoches's teachings are translated uncorrectly!!

[buhdagoddess]

I have been to a thai buddhist temple. is this the same as tibetan buddhism?

[xingyibeast]

... what about the Jonangba ?

[Kalatiso]

agree. they were beaten up and lost all of their monasteries in central tibet on the directive of the 5th dalai lama.

[utubecrayz]

Buddha (Siddhartha Gautam) was born in Kapilvastu of Lumbini District of Nepal. He travelled to Bodhgaya in the state of Bihar of India where attained Enlightenment under a Bodhi tree. He founded and started his Buddhist teachings there which slowly spread to Nepal first and then in parts of India since Hinduism was predominant religion. Buddhism's spread into Burma, Bhutan, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia and China came later and even much later into Tibet, Korea and Japan.

[wyttse]

Buddhism was first spread to the greek empire. The first buddhist image was created by the persians in Afganistan

[greatbydesign33]

@wyttse That is a LIE. Buddah was a Black man and the earliest statues in India depict him as a pure Black. Wooly hair, thick lips - thick nose and all.

[MoiraKelly1]

Thank you for this great video. I have watched a video Tsem Tulku Rinpoche teaches PROSTRATION. I would like to know if prostration is a Tibetan meditation practice as I always see Tibetan Buddhist doing prostrations. Also, the way to prostrate taught by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, is it only for Tibetan Buddhism?

[badinfluence1985]
