  • its the Happy Buddha ! :)

  • thia cant be the reincarnation of buddha.bcz buddha has attained nirvanaya.but buddha has told there are spiritual gainers like buddha ,but they are not making the buddhism again.they are called as "Pase BUddha" in sri lankan language.they appears inthe midst time of two buddhas.they are not lucky enought to be buddhs but they are the second spiritual status gainers after buddha.this boy can be a Pase buddha.

  • whether reincarnation of buddha or not,but he is a boy following the path of the buddha...

  • Comment removed

  • As a Buddhist the reporter offends me there cannot be a reincarnation of the buddha as he already attain nirvana so he wouldn't be reborn.

  • There is no re-incarnation for a Buddha ! and this boy is not another Buddha either. I cannot believe that 'Buddhists' say this is a reincarnation of the Buddha ? sighs....................

  • this is simple to do..just sleeping from 5 a.m to 7 p.m..after that eating,dancing,pissing in the dark of night..nodobdy knows..all budhiest are idiot,they are stupid mankind..-comment pending approval-how stupid they are..lol..put the night vision camera there..stupid

  • @elyna3648 When quartz call all diamonds are stupid, Diamonds stay silent saying nothing to the quartz, saying it all :)

  • Did he ever take a shower in those 3 years? Southern asia has some nice architecture and food, but it's filled with lazy hobos who do nothing but sit all day, meditate naked in the public, have greasy dreadlocks and are covered in ash.

    Eww, eww, eww, eww! Take a shower, get a job, help that old lady cross the street, pay the taxes, feed the hungry, go to the moon - do something beneficial other than twisting your weiner on a stick to suppress your sexual desire. I'm never going to India.

  • 3 years, what els do you want? this guys the real deal.

  • Proof? Whoever needs any proof hasn´t grasped the message yet...

    Peace and Light

  • @natarajfilms Lol, your cheesy message of peace and light doesn't means anything in scientific community. If you wish to be convincing, tell us how he entered the hibernation mode. No, don't bother saying that it's a miracle. There's a scientific explanation for everything. If some energy exists, then ask a particle physicist to investiage. Are quark gluons keeping him alive? Oh, it's that cheesy inner energy? Ah, well, good luck trying to convince a particle physicist that inner energy exists.

  • @StandingRedPanda Where did I say anything about convincing you, and why would I want to do that? Really...peace!

  • @StandingRedPanda By the way, what´s cheesy about 'peace and light"? Would you rather "conflict and darkness" maybe? So be it...just another side in duality.

  • @StandingRedPanda

    A particle physicist is not able to conceive more than his imagination allows him, science does not have an explanation for everything. In fact, science is currently at its beginning to discover more. Take neuroscience for instance, there's millions of questions that have not been answered yet. Maybe you don't know that because you don't really know much about science, you only learn what exists. A scientific theory is still being searched to connect relativity with quantum.

  • looks like a fidgety swindling little fuck to me

  • Buddha doesn't reincarnate. He himself said he has not reached Buddha hood, he is just a "precious one".

  • People dont believe he is the reincarnation of buddha, he is that just as much as YOU or ME folks and he says this too. Its just media talk, anyway forget the close minded comments and propaganda. Stuff like this has been happening throughout time but even today it is happening all over the place. Mostly unnoticed of course. Meditating without food or water is naturally possible for a human to do through energetic practices.

  • People would do anything for money...

    Deep in the Poor & Hungry Struck Nepal, Seems this Kid has learnt to starve himself to get money...

  • @forgottenmemories63 that´s why this world is near to the end... no faith

  • @juanchodelasriveras Lol, you must be ignorant. There won't be any end of the world. If there will be an end of the world, then it will be caused by stupidity and your own narrow-mindedness itself.

    The Earth will be habitable for another 1.5 billion years until our star goes supernova in 5 billion years.

  • He needs to be further away from people. We should not have people so close to him. Why hasn't the committee respected that.

  • He himself has said that he's not a reincarnation of the Buddha as far as I know. It's all the followers creating the hype.

  • Another important Buddhist teaching is that of the Three Characteristics, namely impermanence ( anicca ), unsatisfaction or suffering ( dukkha ), and non-selfhood ( anatta ). Not to know this teaching is not to know Buddhism.

  • I do not think that as YouTube users that we are automatically in the position of judging whether Ram Bahadur Bomjan is the Great Buddha incarnate. If so, the methods we might suggest as tests would render absurd and diminish the truth of what is divine in him. He has said he does not want to be called Buddha. All we have to do then is to look into our hearts, for the truth we already know: Buddha is within him and he emanates Buddha. Let us say no more and simply honor him and his words.

  • To be a Buddha one has to eradicate greed, anger and delusion. A Buddha possesses all the supernatural power. No one would be convinced unless he's being tested. One easiest way to test if one is enlightened as claimed, is to ask the person to walk through a wall.

  • What is this obsession with proof? When things happen that are not in the realm of commonplace, there is an automatic assumption of deception. There is so much that we don't know! We may all be on the same path (as it were), but we are certainly NOT in the same place! Some are far ahead in the spiritual journey...

  • @hirlrng we are well aware of such people and have respect for such people, so we invent a word to address them. We call them "FOOLS".

  • If you try and relocate him to the best hospital in the world, he can probably die within a few days. Because he can't live in an environment without moisture in the air. This is one reason he can't really leave the forest. It may sound holy in a religious point of view. "Even a saint will die if he tries to leave God's gifted place." There is nothing more than hardcore science.

  • Science can explain why he can live without drinking or eating. He is absorbing the moisture through his skin. This can actually work for some but not for most others. Even the way he looks is a sign of the moisture-absorbing result. His long hair can probably shade off a lot of sun light and reduces the moisture loss inside his body. And his bulky shape (no offense here) is not a result of good exercise or over eating but because of the extra liquid inside him.

  • arent you supposed to kill the buddha if you see him or somthing?

  • Comment removed

  • Fake

  • he's not a reincarnation of buddha. buddha passed away not to be born again. west should understand the basic of buddists and dhamma.

  • The reporter may not know but we all have the seed to become buddha. and once we achieve enlightenment, we never reincarnate again in any life form but is free from suffering and perpetual cycle of samsara. To become a buddha is to be awaken, one who has attained bodhisattva and is free from all suffering.

  • Ram Bomjon is not meditating about "god". lol.

    Most of us Buddhists either dont care about any god, or dont believe in any god.

    We dont meditate about anything. We meditate on nothing.

  • @pixusbubblejet

    we meditate to attain nibbana. anyone can focus on anything he likes. but should be a neural one. that's why we are taught to focus on our own breath.

  • @padmika. focus on breath is one kind of meditation. but not all buddhist meditation is the same. some has no focus, or focus on "nothing". this is harder to do.

  • progressive commercials suck

  • Nobody can not eat and drink for three years..they die...nobody can sit still for month...it ill lead to all kinds of body injuries and problems....this is not true... It common knowledge.... This kid eats..I can promise you that!! Trust me!!! He lives...so he eats...Hes healthy...so he moves around.....facts........

  • @weirdscience81

    I don't trust you. You are just reiterating some of the paradigms of reductionism and materialism, two unproven beliefs that are cornerstones of modern science. In January 2006 Discovery Channel filmed him for 96 hours without interruption. Their conclusion: Ram has defied modern science by staying alive and continuing his meditation.

  • they should've just titled the " The meditating boy" instead of "Buddha boy"

  • buddha was not divine. not god. some so called buddhists fall back into theist beliefs. hopefully they will wake up from that later.

  • why should he prove he's a re-incarnation of buddha he hasn't said anything about that! fkface media

  • "Buddha" isn't a person's name but it is a state of mind...

    it is said that before the Shakyamuni Buddha, there were also three Buddhas, but only the Shakyamuni Buddha was could share his wisdom with the normal human beings. As the Shakyamuni Buddha(which we all know by the name the lord Buddha) said, "Anyone can reach in my state, anyone can be a Buddha...."

  • yeah fools gotta stop saying that hes the reincarnated buddah, we are all reincarnations of the all

  • Why are all the hot guys either gay or celibate? Why?

  • This is nature of this world. The same way that if you need something it is either very expensive, live very far or married to someone else.

  • I just cannot understand as to why most of the people keep telling reincarnation of Buddha. If so, the basic teaching of Buddha bocomes contradictory. Buddha has discovered the Nibbana. The only path to free from sorrows and sufferings by all the beings on their transmigration. After Buddha's final pass away He attianed Nibbana and will not be born again. There is no reincarnation of Buddha.

  • "Buddha" isn't a person's name but it is a state of mind...

  • @lumalive ...I thought that through compassion Buddha chooses to re-incarnate to liberate all sentient beings before attaining nirvana himself...therefor, the last being to attain nirvana.....is the true Buddha....for he stuck around to see you, me, and everything else through first.

  • @RollingReunion I tried send my comments but failed to send through but you can read it on a separate message on this forum.

  • If there is Buddha, he does not have to "re-incarnate to liberate all sentient beings". He could just appear in the sky to let all the beings know and we will all be liberated..This is simple

  • @RollingReunion - There is nothing called liberation. You are your own saviour. Buddha can only show you the path but he can't extricate you from sufferings. The same way a doctor prescribes medicine for you to use for your sickness. No God can liberate you. Buddha discovered the true path to put a full stop to life/death vice-versa of life circle. Nibbana is the full stop. No life, no death. It is like a burnt out candle. Nothing left to ignite.

  • @lumalive Yeah...liberate through compassion includes compassionately showing the world the path...that's right. I say yes, you say no, you say goodbye and I say hello. Have you heard the knock knock joke that after "who's there?" answers "Any."....?

  • @primitivefiremusic - you are sadly mistaken. I never said no and never had any conversation with you. Neither could I understand your goodbye and hello junk. I think you have got your wires crossed.

  • @lumalive sorry...I was responding from my Rollingreunion e-mail link. Youtube auto signed me from my most recent sign in which was primitive fire...my solo project. The no, yes, goodbye hello candor is from the koan-like Beatles song "Hello Goodbye." Translation of the song is potato :( , potato:). As for the knock joke, it was just a stab at humor...the next and ultimate answer...."ANYWHO."

  • ...."ANYWHO:" def. A colloquialism used insead of the colloquialism "anyways"....a colloquialism implying "let's change the subject." in which the giver of the response is implying a penchant for avoiding a possibly dis-comforting experience.

  • @primitivefiremusic - Okay, you seem to be a decent person. Thanks for your explanation.

  • @lumalive likewise...and I appreciate your insight. Peace.

  • @lumalive You have mis-conceptions about the meaning of "Buddha".

  • @lumalive That is the Hinnayana side of the storie

  • @lumalive In the end you are talking about a theory which i do believe. But it is only a theory and only a few know if it is true or not. It doesnt matter how they call him, what it matters it that you ork with yourslef. If you believe it is enough. Do not let your ego control you.

  • A real Buddha does not want to be worshipped or give blessings. For this creates believers and nonbelievers and then violence and wars as we have seen with Christianity and Islam. A real Buddha would say "Don't worship me, find enlightenment for yourself."

  • Correct you are 100%. We being buddhists normally worship Buddha as a mark of respect, who showed us the way to overcome the sufferings. He is not a saviour only a guide. You are your own saviour and it is up to individulas to follow the path and cross the Samsara the long journey by attaining Nibbana as per His teachings. By worshipping Buddha one get nothing.

  • This is nothing but money making idea.

  • LOL if the reincarnation of Buddha just sits on his ass all day, then there are quite a few in my city, we call them BUMS

  • I see you are not very intelligent person, if your knowledge reaches only up to beer and foolish actions don't make the inference, with such level of mind. Because it only shows your primitive level of thinking and awareness.

  • Oh so you are so intelligent that you know of my actions and beer consumption? The belief on your own level of consciousness doesn't give you the authority to pass judgment or make conclusions of another person's intelligence, actions or character. I made a comment on this fraud and instead of making a rebuttal you attack my character. And you say I am the primitive one....

  • Its only shows your level of mind in the way have you responde to my argument. On internet everyone have authority, doesn't you know that?

    And now Calm down!

  • yeah i guess you can meditate your way to speaking better English LOL you never made an argument, you latvian douche bag

  • Oh how intelligent you are. You better learn more languages before to be proud with that you were born with this one in which you speak. "douche bag" yeah maybe my english is not very well but your is so primitive and dirty that its only shows the reflection of your personality. Low and pathetic.

  • Ho please, please, if you have negative comments to make, make it to you cat, leave this person alone, it is your own risk, the cosmos likes him, you are in great danger if you despise that. This is not a fraud this is real religion, not fighting about technicalities in one or the other book.

  • @hallmonitor98 LOL!

  • The Buddha was enlightened and entered parinibbana upon death and therefore cannot be reincarnated.

    How can a Buddhist country forget that?

  • what's parinibbana?

  • It's typically referenced as "parinirvana", but it's the release an enlightened being receives upon death from rebirth and karma. Obviously, given this, the Buddha could not have been reincarnated.

  • lol well you never know, it's like people's idea of an after life, no one alive knows from personal experience. and besides the parinirvana or whatever aspect to it, I doubt someone as influential as the buddha would just be sitting around collecting rupees for blessings

  • It's the boy's family that accepts the donations. There are also moochers who were selling unauthorized merchandise of him while he was meditating. He left his original tree and went deeper into the forest because there was no peace around him. The Buddha also sat in meditation for years, but there weren't people around him such as was the case with Ram.

    And the Buddha realized the nature of all things and specifically told people he would not be reincarnated when he died.

  • God is the ultimate giver. And to resemble God ,one has to become a giver. For all of us are already receivers. A stone Idol receives many gifts, But what does it give? Likewise, a human Idol also receives many gifts, but we say he gives us words of wisdom and spiritual teaching. This is not so, for what is said resonates with us because it is already in us,but we do not see. Let us not confuse giving with confirmation. To confirm is not the same as to give...

  • Comment removed

  • i wanna try do that

  • Amazing being

  • it is time to tell you, i am from fire clan, i carry the sacred sheild of my clan .the hopi speak of us in their prophecies. working with the hopi of the second mesa and is why the blue kachina star, holmes comet appeared and grew sun to set all things into motion for the great purification buddah disappeared because i needed to talk to him. he came to the puged sound area where i was. i shared our conversation with second mesa. i am now on the big island searching for those i recognize

  • there are some people that are have gifts and are spititually on a higher level. there is no one religion in this world, but we have to follow our conscience and do what's right.

  • can I be frank to all people,good thing will happen as long as individuals believes,

    so don't put other believes down,.

    also he is not the recarnation of buddha,

    please get this fact right,but he will be the next Buddha or close to!!

    blesses to everyone,let remember why we here??

    Good day all:):)

  • braz31mj why can't u just mind your own business and not disrespect others beliefs n' religions.

  • And if you repeat what some book says because you're too lazy or too afraid to discover for yourself what is true or to ask questions you're lost,baby.Why would it disturb you what somebody else does with their lives?Who the # are you anyhow,the holy inquisition?kzam,7:27

  • jesus can go fuck himself!!!!!!!! i use the bible to wipe my ass

  • he does the will of the father, because as jesus said we should first seek the kingdom of god. And where is the kingdom? as jesus said, the kingdom of god is within you. where is palden dorje searching? right, within himself.

  • and what is to "accept Jesus Christ"? What's the real meaning of this?

    It's only by saying: "I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord" that I will actually being save? It's all about repeating this combination of words?

    Or it's about following his teachings with all of our hearts that we will actually be accepting Jesus Christ?

    And aren't his teachings about true love, devotion and compassion?

  • honestly feel that's it's not just about repeating a combination of words like "I accept Jesus Christ".

    I think that John did not meant it so literaly.

  • This kid isn't "starving" at all. He learned how to control his body to dedicate full time by meditating about God. This is not demoniac at all, it's only a different process.

    Why such a dedicated person like this young kid, that gave up many things in life only to meditate about God could not give his blessings to people?

    His commitment and renounce to live only by a saintly path of purification are inspiring many people, that's the reason they praise him, braz31nj.

  • @uuugho

    "meditating about GOD??"There's no god in Buddhism...

  • @kabasak

    take GOD as a concept. God is The supreme reality. Brahma Nirvana, is an aspect of GOD. It´s the absolute inconceivable platform of reality...

    This "buddhism is an atheistic religion" thing is wrong.

    the Eastern understanding about God is much more complex than ours.

  • @uuugho The word God implies a person-'a supreme being'.In Western theology,it's used in this sense.As such ,it has no place in Buddhism.Supreme Reality yes,but why call it god?Also,Buddhism is not a 'believe and you''ll be saved' religion.It's a 'do it yourself' science of studying the self and the cosmos in general.

  • @kabasak

    i´m sorry, that´s incorrect.

    GOD has three aspects in eastern theology: Bhagavan (the absolute form of God - "personified"), Paramatma (the Supersoul sustaining each atom in the material manifestation and accompanying living entities in anahata chakra - in the heart) and Brahman (the impersonal aspect that permeates the cosmic manifestation). Each one are interconnected and these THREE TOGHETER are what the EASTERN tradition defines as GOD: the absolute reality.

  • @kabasak

    there´s no question about God being divided. God is absolute according to Eastern tradition. God is personal and impersonal at the same time. God is inconceivable and that´s why we try to understand or feel Him separately from His absolute aspects. that is incomplete knowledge.

    as well as the core of the Sun, the Sun's surface and the sun's rays form the Sun star, in the same way, Bhagavan / Paramatma / Brahman is God.

  • @kabasak

    Brahman are nothing but the impersonal aspect of God. It is also God, but it is the first knowable aspect of God, the "sun rays", the "white light", it´s "life".

    you said: [Buddhism is not a 'believe and you''ll be saved' religion.It's a 'do it yourself' science of studying the self and the cosmos in general.]

    Buddhism is Yoga, Vaishnavism is Yoga, Christianity is Yoga. Yoga is the original science which connect us with the absolute reality, Yoga is "do it yourself".

    om tat sat

  • @uuugho I don't see how Christianity is yoga,though.It's all about blindly believing to a saviour God that will save someone's ass instead of doing all the hard work himself.Please spare me the new age cliche about the sameness of all religions,this is just IGNORANCE.Dangerous ignorance.

  • @kabasak

    yoga is meditation, it´s all about sense/mind control and connection.

    what Jesus Christ taught is yoga. if Christians are not practicing what Jesus taught thats a different problem. The "hard work" leads you only to the limit between Mahat-tattva (the cosmic manifestation/ this reality) and Brahmajyoti. You will depend ENTIRELY on Paramatma, "God´s Will" to transcend this limit. This is Yoga and you know nothing about this...

  • @uuugho ,In Christianity he have prayer:asking things from god-not yoga,you are making things up.Jesus asked so little :Just BELIEVE and you will be saved.Easy,heh?This is why Christianity it's so popular.Throwing away Hinduist terms may make you look like you know stuff,and you are right I don't know and don't care about Hinduism.On the other hand I know one thing for sure:You don't have a clue about the principles of Buddhism,so stop mixing all religions,you are confusing yourself and others

  • @kabasak Set aside religions and think about science. When things happen out of ordinary, it is not a miracle; it is the work of science within. Just because you believe in something, it doesn't mean that it is real. You may win lotteries 10 times in a row, but others may lose 1000 times in a row. It is just that you happen to see yourself in luck (with God). What happens if you lose on the 11th lottery? Do you blame God for it? NO! Because the image of God is always "good" inside you.

  • @kabasak

    this is the beggining of the process: believe (sraddha). it´s yoga, acceptance of a spiritual master (guru), follow principles and regulations (yama and nyama), delivering the result of all activities (karma) to God. There are many lines of yoga: Jñana-Yoga, Dhyana-Yoga, Kumbhaka-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, Hatha-Yoga.. many lines. If yu search deep you will find many instructions in Jesus teachings that fit in many lines of yoga, especially karma-yoga.

  • @kabasak

    Vedic knowledge has nothing to do with hinduism. Hinduism is a pejorative term given by the Muslims, it´s Indian popular culture also. The Vedic Scriptures has nothing to do with "hinduist terms". if you had the slightest knowledge you would know that.

    your knowledge of Christianity, Buddhism and yoga are biased and limited. you're just writing bad things without any scriptural basis or scientific research. that´s lame.

  • @uuugho This Mr KnowItAll attitude will get you nowhere.I am telling you,that your initial comment that started this thread “meditating about God” just reveals your complete ignorance on Buddhism.Actually if you have not done solitary meditation in the jungle for 5 years like this meditator has,you can only make arbitrary,speculative,subjecti­ve assertments as to what he is actually doing as he sits there.How can you know?

  • Comment removed

  • @kabasak I understand a lot of Buddhism, Yoga and the Vedas because I´m dedicating my life to study this. You are just writing crap on youtube.

    it´s said on the Vedas that God expands himself infinitely through His illimitated energy. Everything is GOD! even this computer, this eletric energy is God, but God himself exists appart this reality. That´s a paradox. Everything i´m saying its based on the Srutis and Smrtis, the same vedas that talk about yoga.it´s not MY conclusion.

  • @kabasak

    @kabasak

    this "there´s no God in Buddhism" is just lack of understanding, western understanding. Its a desperate cry of those who want to deny their own identity and live in illusion. Buddha Deva never stated "there is no God", everything He said was: this world is pain, this is the metod to escape from it - merge in Brahman". it´s the first step

    when asked about Bhagavan, Buddha said: first focus yourself with the leaves that fit in your hand, then you ask about the forest.

  • @uuugho @uuugho All of your analysis is based on terms used in Hinduism(Brahma etc).Buddhism is a very different ball game.You are probably an advocate of the naive New Age cliche "All religions are the same and talk about the same God".Buddhism is influenced by Hinduism but goes WAY beyond the latter,not to mention Christianity.Christianity is not 'yoga',it's 'believe in me and I promise you'll go to heaven when you die,or else you'll rot in hell".

  • @kabasak "All of your analysis is based on terms used in Hinduism(Brahma etc)"

    what about Lord Buddha (an avatar f Lord Visnu!) teaching about Brahma-Nirvana??? The Vedic Knowledge its the same knowledge Lord Buddha spread on India. Its the same purpose: to enlight people in the path of yoga. Buddha means "the intelligent one", "the one iluminated by knowledge".

    Try to understand this: all of this "terms" i´m talking about it´s THE SAME knowledge spread by Lord Buddha! same language also

  • @kabasak

    Buddha (the illuminated by knowledge), Buddhi (inteligence), Samsara (birth/death cicle) Brahman (absolute reality), Nirvana (extinction of the florest [vana] of material reality) and a lot of "hinduist terms" like these were used by lord Buddha to preach.

    you know so little about this subject that you didnt even realize that Lord Buddha was an avatar, himself appeard in India, spoke Sanskrit, Devanagari and was versed in the Vedic literature.

    you have been destroyed.

  • @uuugho Thanks for letting me know that Sakyamuni was speaking Sanskrit,I did'nt know that.Of course he was well versed in Vedic scriptures -he had teachers of this tradition.What you forget is that he LEFT these teachers and never succeeded them because he was not satisfied with their teachings.Who is destroyed now?You just read some books,memorized some Sanskrit words and toss them around in youtube to impress people and feed your arrogance.

  • @kabasak You know you had no idea about that, if you had any clue you wouldn't have written so much nonsense like this: "All of your analysis is based on terms used in Hinduism(Brahma etc)."

    what HE left was the Karma Kanda section of the Vedas, because this section deals only on the topic of material advancement. What's the use of material knowledge for transcendentalists? Even Lord Krishna stated this same view on Bhagavad-Gita

  • @kabasak

    what happened was that because of the advancement of Kali-Yuga, the Brahminical culture was corrompide. He just taught the neglected topics of the Vedas, questioning the brahminical authority and monopoly of the scriptures, and that was the purpose of the advent of Lord Buddha ACORDING TO THE HISTORY, THE SCRIPTURES and THE BRAHMA-MADHAVA-GAUDYA SAMPRADAYA.

    and by whom you speak? your own speculation?

  • @uuugho And worst:Mixing up all religions claiming they are the same.About Sakyamuni being an avatar of Vishnu,that's YOUR crazy theory,Buddha never said I am Vishnu,never claimed that he was a god.I get the impression you are the leader and only follower of your own religion.I have no problem with that,I could even respect it,as long as you respect Buddhism and don't talk nonsense about it.

  • @kabasak

    —Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.24

    tataḥ kalau sampravṛtte sammohāya sura-dviṣām ।

    buddho nāmnāñjana-sutaḥ kīkaṭeṣu bhaviṣyati ॥

    Translation: Then, in the beginning of Kali-yuga, for the purpose of confusing the enemies of the devas, He (Visno) will become the son of Anjana, Buddha in the Kīkaṭas.

    Bhagavatam was spoken 3,000 years before the appearance of Siddhartha Gautama - Lord Buddha

  • @uuugho Oh so you are referencing MYTHOLOGY to answer .As I said ,Buddha never said I am a god.

  • @kabasak @kabasak

    arrogance is speaking for your own speculation, for "I think that..." , without being supported by the scriptures and the authorized comment of the previous Acaryas. and this is what mess the process of understanding.

    nobody needs to false humility, then I defy you to show me any teachings of Lord Buddha on "meditate on the emptiness" or "absence of a supreme controller - God"

  • @kabasak

    you wont find it because Buddha never preached that! If you really had deepen your studies and take seriously the process of yoga you would know that.

    this is the problem-Kaly Yuga, any rascal goes on to talk about transcendence and the supreme goal of life with authority, without having even the slightest foundation.

    Your comprehension is weak and you can't help anyone, so stop talking nonsense.

  • @uuugho Emptiness is a HUGE topic in Buddhism,actually it's one of the main principles and is exhausted in Hinayana and Mahayana scriptures.I am dumbfounded to hear from you that Buddha never spoke of emptiness.How can you speak about Buddhism without having the slightest knowledge of basics?A lifetime would not be enough for me to mention all references to the concept of emptiness in Buddhist scriptures

  • @kabasak You took a lifetime and didn't get it yet.

    That is no "void", that is no "nothing", that is no "emptiness".

    Lord Buddha is explaining this subject of emptiness so exhaustively so people can understand and realize reality without duplicity, but he never asserted that reality is empty of content, that's the point! Duality is a quality of conditioned platform of life.. life in Samsara.

  • @kabasak The light on the teachings of Buddha is in it's knowledge and application that elevate us to the absolute platform of life, Brahma-Bhuta.. Brahma-Nirvana.. this has NOTHING to do with "meditate on emptiness", as if the object of meditation was "the emptiness". Lord Buddha never, NEVER stated this nonsense. this is lack of comprehension.

  • @uuugho Take this for starters:Large Sutra On Perfect Wisdom with the divisions of the Abhisamayalankara.In chapter 15 “The Concentrations” Buddha describes not one,but twenty kinds (or aspects )of emptiness and how to medidate on them.

  • @kabasak Yes, I've read it.

    Just to start, they refer to the Lord Buddha as THE LORD - in other words - GOD. That's a very clear point, you should read it again..

  • @kabasak Anyway, this very chapter addresses perfectly the subject of "emptiness" as something way different from "nothingness", trying to explain the nature of "empty" as a concept that has nothing to do with "what has no content".

    It's much more a metaphysical/philosophical treatise than a scientific treatise, since it's own nature is inconceivable. Qualify "the empiness" as an object of meditation it's absurd! Lord Buddha never did that, He only taught the path of Dharma!

  • @kabasak "empty" according to Lord Buddha is what has no cause, beginning middle or end, that is eternal, "immovable", that can't be altered or destroyed etc.. and be attend to this point: this "emptiness" is experienced in both worlds: conditioned and unconditioned. In other words, the MATERIAL and SPIRITUAL platform of life.

    Lord Buddha is talking about BRAHMAN - the absolute unqualified reality. Everything is Brahman, and it's just an aspect of God!

  • @uuugho I never said emptiness=nothing.You assumed that I hold this view so that you get the chance to unleash one more sermon and preach some more.There are two kinds of meditation,shamatha and vipashyana.Shamatha is for quieting the mind,and vipashyana is introspection on a mental concept or principle of the teaching.Buddha instructed that both should be practiced and he gives detailed instructions on how to do so on the Sutra of Complete Enlightment.

  • @kabasak First of all, thank you very much for letting me preach.

    I assumed that and you're still taking that "emptiness" as "void".

    You are running in circles and still can not explain what is this "emptiness" Lord Buddha is talking about.

  • @uuugho Man,you could write a book with all those comments!It's hard to explain emptiness with words,that's because as soon as you make an assertion about it,you are immediately contrary to it.Trying to talk about non duality with a language that was invented to describe duality is not easy.Buddha said even emptiness is empty.And the emptiness of emptiness also is empty.

  • @kabasak You are presenting it as "devoid of self" and identity, but theres two different self and identity: Material and Spiritual - Illusory and Absolute.

    You don't know about that because Lord Buddha only taught us how to break samsara. It's true he never professed anything about the PERSONALITY of God. He NEVER said anything about God being a "illusory personality, non existent and only imagined in the ignorant minds" also.

  • @uuugho The doctrine of emptiness that Buddha taught applies to EVERYTHING.Everything is emtpty.This includes all arbitrary speculations about a super person you call god.He never talked about a spiritual personality.He also did'nt say that Santa Claus is an illusory person,so maybe Santa Claus was a real person after all,right?

  • @kabasak really, your argument capacity is brilliant. this one about santa is even superior to that one about the british parliament. i'm impressed. haha

  • @uuugho Meditating on emptiness means introspecting the empty(=devoid of self,core-not nothing) nature of all things,including persons:oneself and others.You can read in this sutra that Buddha encourages practitioners to meditate on the empty nature of things,this is called meditation on emptiness ,not annihilation.So again,the scriptures prove you wrong,it's totally absurd to discuss Buddhism and say that Buddha never taught meditation on emptiness.

  • @kabasak The "emptiness" is empty of material identity and elements.

    there are 24 elements (Body/senses/mind/intellect etc) that compounds the illusory-self (ahankara) and all the material variety that fills the infinite material universes.

    This material elements comprises the material personality - the false understanding of self and reality - THIS is the concept of illusion.

  • @kabasak You believe you are touching/eating/breathing etc, and this illusion is so realistic that you actually experiences "death" if you stop breathing, eating etc. But we are unmoved and indestructible, we are Brahman, so that's the illusion.

    Meditating on emptiness means meditate on Brahman, not "the empty".

  • @kabasak Lord Buddha call it "emptiness" because Brahman can't be experienced by the connection between senses and sense objects, therefore it is empty for the mind. There's no MATERIAL activity or MATERIAL elements in the supreme platform of reality, therefore it is "unmoved" and "indestructible" by essence.

    Even so, this illusion is also Brahman, because Brahman is everything...

  • @kabasak There is a spiritual identity, which has nothing to do with the fallible material personality and variety of body/senses/mind/intellect.

    The true self, the real identity is compound of "sac-cid-ananda", and it exists in the same platform of God - Brahman. In order to experience this reality as an individual you should first reach this platform of reality - Brahman, by the liberation of material influence (moksa)

  • @kabasak You said: "You are attached to the notion of an entity that exists out of yourself"

    There's no question about God being "apart" from anything. God is the absolute reality, even this very "false" reality is God and, according to the scriptures, He/She is a Person but this person is incomprehensible to our mind/intelligence. We can only conceive "personality" in our own gross aspect, but there is a Supreme Personality.

  • @uuugho You are free to say anything you want about a supreme personality,but that is not Buddhism.There are no persons material or immaterial.What we call personality is the accumulation of causes and conditions that take the shape of habits.To say that this accumulation is one thing: a person,is false. We started as a cell,multiplied and became what we are.If we had a personality from the beginning,then a cell should have personality.

  • @kabasak "We started as a cell,multiplied and became what we are.If we had a personality from the beginning,then a cell should have personality."

    hahaha...

  • @uuugho You just made fun of Nagarjuna.It's his analogy, not mine.You are so disrespectful towards Buddhism.

  • @kabasak

    "That supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned Brahman is infinite. The infinite proceeds from infinite. Then through knowledge, realizing the infinitude of the infinite, it remains as infinite alone."

  • @kabasak

    "Beginning with the late Vedic Upanishads, Brahman is the Absolute Reality or universal substrate (not to be confused with the Creator god Lord Brahmā)."

    "It is said to be eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and ultimately indescribable in human language. The sages of the Upanishads proclaim Brahman to be the reality behind everything in this universe. Later, Brahman was described as infinite Being, infinite Consciousness, and infinite Bliss"

  • @kabasak you are actually taking the most gross bodily concept of life: "we are body"

    there are different classes of body. even this whole universe is a body expanding unlimitedly (virat-rupa vigraha), a mechanism.

    nevertheless, everything has personality, material (anything compound by the 24 elements and their aggregates) or spiritual (sac-cid-ananda), from the smallest to the largest, and in the absolute reality.

  • @kabasak

    The origin of all activity, desire etc (like playing drums) in material manifestation - in the "illusion realm" - is a "perverted reflection" of the activity in the absolute reality. The "emptiness" is only a "qualification" to determine that existence has no material cause or activity and that the essence of reality is inconceivable by its own nature.

    one more time: emptiness is different from "void"

  • @kabasak We live in this reality, taking the contaminated conception of personality by our bodily concept, connected with the material varieties as if we were experiencing reality.

    But if we are no different at all from God, why we are under control of illusion, why we are deluded? What is the origin of variety, shape, desire? If we have an A.I. mechanism called mind to calm, what are we? Body? Intelligence? Void?

  • @kabasak We are soul, and our nature and identity is inconceivable to be analyzed by the mundane intellect.

    Lord Buddha preached to the ignorant people who did not have the slightest understanding of spiritual background, who were deprived of studying the essence of the Vedic scriptures for the corrupted brahmin class, suffering birth, old age, disease and death. By His MERCY He "came down" and gave us a simple path to liberation, that's all.

  • @kabasak if there's no "mercyfull God" or personality, what is the purpose of such personality as Lord Buddha, that descends to our conditioned platform of reality only to enlighten and free us from suffering?

    Buddha felt MERCY for us, and was He deceived by illusion for this?

    If there is no personality there is no relationship between, therefore what's the purpose of all these teachings? what is this compassion?

    admit it, you are being superficial...

  • @uuugho I just can't believe what I am reading.It's obvious what you do: you are projecting a Jesus-like messiah attribute to Buddha.A Buddha could never feel mercy for anything,he is beyond any mundane feelings.His absolute body,the Dharmakaya is one and the same with that of all beings.

    He does not differentiate “me and poor living beings”.He is demostrating compassion though,as an expediate means to inspire Bodhissatvas to do the same for the benefit of unenlightened living beings.

  • @kabasak and what's the necessity to inspire any Boddhisatva "to do the same for the benefit of unenlightened living beings"?

    God is beyond sat/asat, sukha/dukha and everything thats dual, that's a fact indeed.. but He/She only show the path to illumination for what we call MERCY. What is the problem with this word?

  • @uuugho The necessity is to help living beings.From their perspective there is suffering,From Buddha's viewpoint there's not.The problem with the word mercy is that you are promoting a human sentiment to a quality that describes the absolute.That's totally absurd.You are really imagining that there is a big guy in the sky who cares and feels sorry for people,don't you?Oh and you can't decide his sex!!Huge problem:He or She???

  • @kabasak ok, so "help"is better than "mercy" for you. that's ok with me. nevertheless, it is still an exchange of feelings. what's the necessity of helping people (we are not even "people")?

    the words "causeless mercy" fits better.

    this "big guy" exists, but you are taking "him" as a fallible personality like you and me.

    it's "he or she" because God is simultaneously Energy and Energetic.. it's not about penis and vagina.. that would be your conception of life.

  • @kabasak No, Jesus Christ is Different than Lord Buddha because Jesus Christ is an "ordinary" soul, and Lord Buddha is Visno-Tattva - the Supersoul - God, playing His role as an ordinary person (this also has a purpose)

    His teachings are the manifestation of his causeless mercy.
