Robert Thurman :: How to Save the World Interview

[PeaceWithTheseEyes]

In "With These Eyes" a young woman embarks on a journey that holds the pieces to the puzzle that will reveal the secret behind Quantum Energy.

Buddhist wisdom and the goodness of her heart are the only weapons Isabelle de Fleur possesses in her battle against an army of covert spies sworn to protect their employer at all cost.

Dr. Chukanov's real life Quantum Generator serves as the inspiration to a free society in this suspensful and wittingly entertaining novel by Horst Steiner.

I love that Dr. Thurman talks about the Act of Truth because I was expelled from Nalanda College of Buddhist Studies for writing an essay on this topic based on the Jataka, which my professor refused to accept was Buddhism. thank you!

[TheDaily365]

Dr. Thurman are right thank you very much :):)

[1543fiitl]

wow! I'm so blessed by Dr. Thurman's beautiful yet truth speech. May we all learn to appreciate life and may all beings be happy. Thank you :)

Compassion born out of wisdom displaying & manifesting in the West. Enlightenment becomes the goal rather than distractions such as the neurotic pursuit of material things to the detriment of precious lives.

Capable people of the West entrust yourself to the Triple Gem.

Lost Wall Street banksters tormented by samsaric delusions

- selfishness causing the evil karma of food shortages (rebirth by the way as hungry ghosts or dung beetles)

sad -May all beings realize enlightenment!

Spoken like a true Lama thank You Robert Thurman * * * * *

[superjew1000]

I disagree without people with the courage to stand up and help each other we arenot going to see peace..Your own happiness is totally seperate from that.Selfishness?

[gekekoons]

the concept of being eternal is what phyhscal being can not see or hear

video Interview : Robert Thurman Buddhist Scholar on Global Lens with Ashok Gangadean

[happyseaurchin]

sitting on sidelines or acting from a place of universal complacency, is not what is required at this moment in human history

we need a form of engaged buddhism :)

[jpageaddict]

I am very curious about what you may consider to be engaged buddhism?

Do you have any idea of what your enlightenment would mean to this world? Would that not be engaging? Or is it that you are just looking for a fight? That would not be very biddhist, would it? I am genuinely curious and not trying to "get your goat". Please respond.

[bSangs]

"crempel71002 (2 months ago): Is it just me or does he seem a little drunk?" . . . no it is not just You, but Your Ever Sober Daddy as well . . .

[SpechLGoDDeSS]

this man is so intelligent that all I want to do is sit on youtube and be a sponge that applies his teachings to my life and y surroundings : )

transcended being. : ) ALoha

[SpechLGoDDeSS]

the act of truth is being proactive rather than reactive.... :)

[lucienumbers]

a like this lifephilosophy!i agree that *non-violence* is the keything

[patrickmahoney]

thanks for posting this interview.....its very interesting.

not sure I can be as pragmatic as Dr.Thurman, and "let go" of the world quite as easily.....maybe I am still too "attached," eh? ;-)

BUT, I do agree with: "let go, and let the universe 'decide;' cuz much is out of our hands."

[patrickmahoney]

My experience is such that I think the real terrorists of the world....the economic terrorists that place so much unnecessary pressure on the majority of the people on this planet, out of their greed and domination issues....need to be usurped by the majority of us. If we simply refuse to participate in their "program" (combined with non-violence) THEN we can change the world.

Sitting on the sidelines while these maniacs destroy all is a little to fatalist for me ;-)

[jpageaddict]

AHHH! Finally! Someone with some intelligence! You have the right idea, Mr Mahoney!

[SacredAnou]

I agree with what he is saying. As Gandhi said 'Be the change you want to see in the world' is what is going to 'save the world' as it's put. In truth we aren't destroying Earth, what we are destroying is our chance as humans to live on the planet. I am happy to be witnessing extraordinary times. Though it often feels like everything is just going crazy and there is talk of The End, there is so much awakening happening simultaneously and people are opening their eyes,minds and hearts to Beauty
