Only people following Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the war religions of hate, could dislike this video. Buddhism is for individuals to be happy. Religion is for groups to have wars and hate. Judaism, Christianity, Islam have lost their moral authority to be a world belief system. Only Buddhism has the moral authority and history to be a world belief system. Groups have no true love. Only individuals have true love. Let go to have true love and true happiness.
@jackgoldman1 Well its not necessarily religions that cause war, its the people. The Dalai Lama said himself that all religions have the same philosophies and are all different paths to enlightenment. He even stated "I am a Bud-Christ". I don't mean to be naggy or offensive to your views but this sort of comment may offend others and cause other people hatered and suffering. Please if you have a negative opinion agaianst other religions, keep it to yourself. No offense intended :)
totally wonderful. theres so many words here that i place in my life and theres so many words i can use in my life now for me and for loved ones :) :)
When I was in highschool I used to make plans about how to destroy the world, I don't know why but I was being very serous about it, this is one of the reasons why I went to computer science school, my big plan was to create superios artificial inteligence and replace human beings completly. I now realize that I had those thoughts because I diden't think I was good enough for this world. It's a good thing I've discovered buddhism, otherwise I might have succeded in my evil plans.
I am well aware of he fact that letting go of the self can bring one to enlightenment, and nirvana, breaking you free of repetitiveness of rebirths. But in this life time, I will be great, and I will take my ego with me. Ill become enlightened next time.
actually plasma screens tend to have a full picture, while older little tvs have picture cut off on the side and bottom. seriously. lol not that it makes too much of a difference.
shall i take weed again in order to get happy again? cause ever since i quit (which is a year ago) i feel down all the time, just like before i did weed. no matter what i try, i keep feeling shit. is it bad for me to go back to weed in order to live "happy"?
@Mattorzo When you learn to master the reactions of your mind and body through meditation you will know why you don't need weed to be happy. I smoked for thirteen years. I had four varieties on our farm shortly before doing Vipassana meditation. I did five courses. I have zero interest in smoking because I have realized the power of the mind. Weed drains your chi and limits the power of the mind. Good Love

Next person who watches this: Could you help me quote exactly what he says about the wise man saying a gist of "Make sure your thoughts are worthy to break the Silence."
What he meant by " Make sure your thoughts are worthy to break the silence" is "when your thought is not pure, your speech won't be right. So, if our mind is not pure, it is better to remain quiet.
Eight fold path: (the path that leads to enlightenment- the state of mind that is blissful and eternal). This is the path that lead to the end of rebirth.

Insightful reminders to flatten my ego. Sometimes, the message just hit me when I felt that I am "getting there" [acting a bit proud and arrogant] and having a superior feeling. Thanks.
Very true, his delivery isn't catchy with punch lines, etc... It is pretty plain but it actually adds to the calm soothing effect that lecture has. Cool.
I wasn't impressed with his delivery at first, but you can't deny how much this guy makes sense. But of course he's an experienced Buddhist. I like how he addresses spiritual wealth adding to self. Very wise. Ah, if I could sever my attachments. I've got a long way to go, but at least I know it. :)

people don't realize that advertisers and car companies spend thousands of dollars to brainwash you and make you give. them. your. money.
-That's why you want to 'impress your neighbors'
-That's why you feel like retirement at 50 with a huge house and fancy car means 'you've made it'
you're making someone ELSE rich when you buy those clothes, that car, and those movies.
do yourself a favor and put THE MONEY IN YOUR OWN BANK ACCOUNT.
life would be so much easier if we all just used our brains!!!

richb2004 2 years ago
@richb2004 it is considered a very bad
thing to ask a buddhist monk to officiate a
marriage ceremony. Why? Weddings are
a symbol of attachment, the exact opposite
mode of thinking for a Monk.
Unless you're being cheeky, commenting
on his manner of speech, in which case
there's nothing that can be said.
