@watn85 You're certainly right. But at the same time, Sri Lankan Buddhists are also far too tolerant of hindu dogmas. Why do they still accept the caste systems, for instance, and taking in many other Hindu rites.
Goes to show if you really need God to make your We we bigger. God must have made you have a small one for a reason right. So you can Warship him and ask for forgiveness. And work hard on making the best of what you got. Men with Big Penis wouldn't need to warship as much cause they got the Girls and pride. Grow up people.
@Mearyeaurng Not true at all; it depends on the particular tradition and sect. Theravada monks shave everything, even their eyebrows, while some schools among the Tibetan and Zen traditions have very long hair and beards. Consider the Vietnamese Zen master, Thich Quang Do, for instance.
what a pity your dick is that small, d'ohh!! perhaps you may want 2 try 2 ask that "stupid" monk 2 bless it 2 get bigger. who knows. you'll never know till you try. if it works, certainly you'll be happy, & perhaps you'll be remorseful 4 havin' insulted him as "stupid".
are you aware of evangelical christian organiztions makin' TV shows of their theatrical acts of on-the-scene curin' of the sick & the disabled?? that "stupid" monk is nothin' compared 2 the evangelicals.
sometime, magic can be a strong motivation of doing a certain thing. I believe a lot of students studied hard for the exam, but by the add of animism... they would have more confident in doing it. In the other hand, praising car for what? for safety in traveling? it's not gonna help when you drive too fast, cuz you will just got accident if it happens.
Hey im a Christian and i am not narow minded, i have read many bibles, jwish, koran, and at least 4 total to get a better understanding of a one true Gods message is. I love and enjoy the company of all people of all nations. you are not dictated by a religion but your own heart..
magic power?.WHY not,,he is a man,,We all posses magic power,,,but only few are able to use it...If this monk does a good job...let him continue his mission
@mocny01 bringing out the confidence within someone could come in many ways. Ultimately the bottom line is the hidden power within each human being...consciousness. Perhaps Buddha is the only person who told us the truth.
@audwinj83 I agree. We really have to use our consciousness to figure out the true way. Even in Buddhist teaching you might have to filter out some of the ingredients because these are not the direct teaching from Buddha. People have added a bit here and there from their own understanding which might not be the direct teaching of Buddha (referring to the prince who became Buddha).
Eg, there is no spirit in the buddha statue but some people misunderstood that some physical spirit reside inside.
enkibumbu, What if you are a Christian, and the goverment is trying to change you into a Budhist, would you like that ? Will you change your religion?
Ha ha ha you stupid idiot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe in Budhist. The riligion of piece, and love. Unlike any other riligion that they have to kill other peopple to go to heaven. Budhist is the riligion that teach peopple to love, to forgive and not to kill any living things. Budhist never force or any human to believe in them but to believe in themselves. Unlike Christain, they travel from one country to another counrtry to convert other riligion to believe in them. That I call a force upon which I hated so much.
@smarty2ful Monks used to be great arguers of their believes and yes they did tried to convert or show the light to other people... which I actually appreciate because is actually great advice. But there's also great advice in every religious book. Although, most religious books have a mix of fiction, reality, ethics, traditions and creativity. I'm atheist though but value different things from different religions.
some monk meditate and meditate...and like they say when you go into a deep sleep stahe...getting into deep meditation you really don't know what kind of realm you enter and what powers you possess.....buddhist is not suppose to practice magic..but if he is doing to help others..then it's a great blessing to use..not to compare, but Jesus uses his powers to help people...if magic can be attained by practice and to use for goodness only I agree to it.

you fuckin' idiot, jesus couldn't even save himself from bein' killed on the cross, so how can he "save" fuckin' you??
what, jesus is god?? d'ohh!! so your god is a dead corpse hung on a cross ehh?? d'ohh!!
the symbol of you religion is death (the cross & the cross with the dead corpse of jesus nailed on it are symbols of death). so shut your fuckin' mouth up & fuck off.
you tried 2 convert buddhists 2 your superstitious christianity. so i have the right 2 defend buddhism, & the most effective strategy of defence against christianity is the offence: attack it. thus no1, let alone you, can stop me.
the christian missionaries are fraudulent. they cheat the poor by posin' as charities. once the poor received candies or rice from them, they start 2 proselytize them. their ultimate goal is proselytization, not charity. so they must be banned.
i aint sure what you mean by "MIS represent". magic?? charity??
well well, since i talked about christian missionaries posin' as charities, let's assume you talk about buddhist charity organizations. as far as i know, most of them declare openly that their mission is charity, not conversion 2 buddhism. they must be distinguished from buddhist organizations who go 2 the west not posin' as charities, but openly declarin' they're spreadin' the dharma (buddha's teachin's).
@teamkvs Really? I don't have any hatred or ill-feelings toward them or the "Magic Monk". It's not my job to judge them, nor the job of any Christian or non-Christian. They're also exercising a basic human right -- religious freedom and freedom to control your own thoughts. That's a beautiful thing.
This looks like a positive thing; bringing the community together. Just look at how happy the people are. And Buddhism carries a peaceful message. I think God appreciates that... that's love! :-)
The magic monk knock the bumper by 3 knock, what the rational reason is... 1. before he became full tlime monk , he worked in automobile industry as QC, to check what the types of materials were used in bumper production...
2. He push the horn button, just because to know how loud horn exceedeng sound polution or not....
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the father. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
full of blind beliefs & wrong views, insulting to the Buddha. Real Buddhist monks never make magic & useless things like this, how fool this monk and people are???????????
we didn't believe bec we are scientist. But, it's hard not to believe that He cured my sister from black magic. My family sent sister to Vietnam, Thailand, and the US. But no treatment. Then, we sent her back to Cambo. Monk cured my sister.Believing or not is not important for us. We jus find possible ways to cure our sister. Now, my sister's health is better because his treatment 70% when doctors cannot help her. I really mad when they said, "she is normal", but why she still in bad situation?
In western medicine, we have what is known as the placebo effect. Western doctors have given basic vitamin pills to patients for treatment of complicated diseases for decades to much success. The human body and soul is complicate and one should accept the many ways of healing it.
@MrTonyshit80 this is just part of our ancient life................it is a habit then tradition and then culture........we are not fool...........we know it is some kind of animism..........but we just wanna make our feeling better
hav u ever heard that if we hav good feeling........our bad health will get better n faster than taking medicine..........
Buddhism in Cambodia is a little different from the original one. Hinduism has influenced the local people, so some form of Hindu still exist, as the combination between Hinduism and Buddhism.
Buddha purpose for his follower is to pass his teachings and words. And that his follower (monks) detached themselves from the outside world. But this individual is passing on his own healing powers. How could this monk have time to learn about Dharma when he has all these crowds of so-called believers? He should use his time wisely to learn about Dharma if he is a follower and believer of Buddha.
Well Said, i believe in only Triple Gems Buddha,Dhamma And sangha.Lord buddha did show us the way to end of suffering (noble eightfold path) . Healing powers can be true but that is not the main thing in buddhism. thaiwanbeauy..haha nice nick
hey im buddhism and didn't buddah found the bible before god then god found it? lol just wondering cuz i hear that sometimes like it happen a long time ago
Jesus lived in India for most of his life, and was probably a Buddhist. He lived and died in Kashmir, India. His name was YUZ ASAF. Research that name in Google or YouTube.
From rumors, ive heard he went there during his missing years in the bible, and that the indians rejected him because he preached the gospel to untouchables. But he died on golgotha, not india.
absolutely not, and i know where your going with that. In the begining, Mans blood was pure and being married to there sisters and brothers and having kids were not a crime in Gods eyes until the change of man in the tower of babel. then mans blood changed and the new law came forth to not have incest and that God despised it.
I sure can. At that time there were slaves, and the law for that was for Masters to treat there servants as they would themselves, and for the servants to treat there Masters with respect. People in those times became servants either from loosing a battle, being born into it, or illegally captured to be sold as slaves. When i get a chance ill look up the verse in the bible about the Master and Servant Rules.
Buddha and the Bible have absolutely nothing in common. The Bible is based on the Israelites from mainly from Palestine, Persia, Egypt and Ethiopia. Buddha was an Indian.
Also, how does one find the Bible before God if God was the author of the Bible?
Buddha was alive before Jesus, but after Moses, Abraham, Jacob-Israel etc.
Some claim that Jesus lived in India and was a Buddhist named YUZ ASAF, who is buried in Kashmir near the Pakistan border.

This monk does not represent the religion itself. There is no magic in Buddhism. I can't blame on Cambodian for believing in his magical power since Hinduism rooted in Cambodia even before Buddhism arrived. However, as a monk, he gave the religion bad name. If he's not doing it to get money and gift, I would still think the monk actually thought he has the power while in reality he has none of the magic.
Just because your conception of Buddhism doesn't include magic, that doesn't mean you should insult Hinduism. Belief in spirits and spirit possession, certainly, is rooted in Cambodian culture.
The purpose of a Buddhist's life is to attain enlightenment. Buddhists are not suppose to dwll into supernatural powers as Buddha said that it will cause suspicion Once a Buddhist attain enlightenment, he is in a blissful mental state. It is eternal and he will not suffer anymore. He will not be reborn anymore. There will not be anymore new kamma but just the old. The mental state is in its purest form as he has eradicate greed, hatred and delusion. There's no more attachment . Who needs god?
Buddhists should meditate to attain 4th jhana,. with the help of Vipassana meditation, one can actually heal physical and mental illness. It's real and those who know this technique will not go around boasting as it is against the teaching of the Buddha. Lord Buddha wants us to walk the path ourselves and not to rely on others all the time.
why you guy acuse each other, i wonder how much education you all have about budha? do you go to religion school? all the comment yiu have expressed is reflected your ignorant, right there.

This is such garbage. It's too bad there are so many uneducated people there who believes just about anything. But then again they just got out of the Pol Pot reign so they are seeking for anything that gives them hope. Superstition should no longer exist in this country as well as old Indian religion we all call Buddhism.
Buddhism is the teaching of self improvement, of compassion and reason. What's wrong with that? Seems to me that YOU were one of Pol Pot's buddies who got away! The Khmer Rouge hated religion.

Couldn't agree with you more. They all say they believe in Buddhism, but they don't even know what that means. They don't even know what it's about. They believe in it b/c of passed down what has become "tradition." Not even their parents, grand parents etc. know that means. It's just a stupid Indian religion that was brought to our country many centuries ago, accepted by our retarded Khmai king.
Buddhist is not same with others religions, even after you said shit like this, buddhist follower will not anger! They taught to respect and love all lives.
I don't really believe in it but I always follow it cos it's my culture :D this monk used to tell me about what will happen to me in the future but I didn't mention about it cos i think it's rally to happen but finally it really happen to me feel so sad with it. Can u give me other change to redo it please.......... I want to do the right thing for myself but there would be no more change for me right? how silly am I
After reading everyones comment, there are many things to say that cannot be done with 500 character. First of all, the translation is not accurate, the person who translated this wasnt even cambodian, you can learn a language, bt unless you are born a cambodian you translation will always be off. Secondly I agree with alot of things people said, People have no right to say he isnt a monk, I dont not c how he lost his monk privileges? and anyone is welcome to enlighten me on this issuse.
i actually was blessed by him. that temple is pretty new too. almost everyday they would have kids dressing up in custome and do a traditonal ritual dance (those kind that suppose to scare off the demon and evil spirit) .
I like Buddhism and have much respect for BuddhaDharma, but the Buddha himself forbade this kind of practice amongst his own Sangha. The Buddha said that such practices usually lead to con men and when they are discovered, the damage to the population is great because they lose faith in the teachings. Thus the monks are forbidden to show miracles or do anything for recognition or ego boosting. If the people lose faith, then the faker has done great harm to them.
You have to understand, as a scholar, many people incorporate Buddhism to their already existing cultural beliefs. To demand an entire group of people to abandon their indigenous beliefs just to satisfy YOUR standards of what Buddhism should be, is very very unrealistic. Should Tibetan Buddhists abandon their Bon tradition? Should Chinese Buddhists discard Bodhisattva Guanying?
People of all traditions sometimes have very strong healing energies. It is not about Buddhism and its beliefs - if he has developed these vibrations so highly, he probably can help cure a wide variety of ailments.
I have an immense respect for Buddhism but this is just ridiculous. Its fine to help people by whatever means available but to actually do so for reasons without limits is absurd, especially guising as a monk.
I assume you regard yourself as Theravadin. First, you should realise that no Buddhist sect, Theravada or Mahayana, can claim to be the sole inheritor of Sakyamuni's teachings. The Pali Canon was set down centuries after the death of Sakyamuni. Each of the eighteen Hinayana sects had subtly-different scriptures and different interpretations. Of these eighteen Hinayana sect, Theravada was merely one obscure sect which gained power due to political fortunes.
When Xuanzang visited India during the seventh century, he reported that virtually all Hinayana monks were Pudgalavadin. If Islam did not invade India, then you would be calling Theravadins heretics now.
In any case, scholars have long discovered different interpretations of the Pali canon. See Coomaraswamy, Edward Conze, Mircea Eliade, and others.
In any case, this "scientific Buddhism" or "Theravadin fundamentalism," which you, Kasey Akira, appear to espouse, is in essence a modern phenomenon based on the infiltration of western rationalism and Christian protestantism. These rationalists, who wished to portray their religion as modern, naturally projected their vain imaginations onto the ancient world.
All of this discussion matters little, seeing as we are fighting over names. Besides, if you, Kasey Akira, are so great, why aren't you enlightened already?
I just want to point out, that first of all you do not have a monopoly on Sakyamuni's teachings. Second, Buddha does not refer to Sakyamuni specifically. How do you know that Sakyamuni is better than Naropa, Milarepa, Nichiren, Kumarajiva, Nagarjuna, or other enlightened people?
And now furthermore, the Vinaya is not historically solid either: "He[Gregory Schopen] argues that there is no evidence that this represents a decline from an early period of observance, and suggests that the Vinaya may be an attempt by a self-appointed elite to impose their standards on everyone else."
Buddha refers to all enlightened beings. Buddha also refers to dharmakaya, tathagata, and the ground of being. Therefore, Sakyamuni, Amitabha, Vairocana, and other Buddhas are equal. Their respective followers should not attack each other out of ignorance of religious dogmatism.
Having experience in several schools of Buddhism, I have unique regard for Cambodian Buddhism, because it preserves the profound teachings of ancient tantra, Brahmanism, and esoteric Buddhism.
Korean and Japanese Buddhists are invariably proud of their ancient shamanic heritages. It is the liberal synthesis of shamanism, Daoism, Shintoism, and Chinese Buddhism which produced the delicate flowers of Tendai and Shingon. And what is Chan Buddhism but Daoism in Buddhist garbs?
Only people who have inferiority complexes cling to a dogmatic, rationalist version of Buddhism which exists only as vain fancy of modern humans.
people are so fast to judge whats wrong and right when it comes to religion.. thinking they are certified and shit to know everyting about buddhism..especially western society. our people and monks have been doing this and embracing this for hundreds of years, even if you read hundreds of books you still will never be qualified to teach us the real meaning of buddhism...so please worry about your own RELIGION haha cause yours is not perfect either haha
As for what sunyata88 says below, you should know that Sakyamuni acknowledges nature spirits. Both the Sutta and the Vinaya testify to his interactions with nature spirits, including several instances where he settles disputes between devata and men.
While many of Sakyamuni's followers became enlightened, Sakyamuni had greater merits because he mastered all six siddhis. Siddhis are intrinsic parts of Buddhism.
Those people who criticises Buddhist magic are all wannabe Buddhists, usually from non-Buddhist(western) countries, who read one or two short pamphlets then pretend that they know everything about Buddhism.
If you're familiar with the history of Buddhism, you will discover that virtually all accomplished seekers have magical powers or siddhis. This includes Theravada. In fact, the Path of Purification itself describes the acquisition of magical powers
Those very same scriptures make it explicitly clear that when a person has gained "powers", he must let them go to continue enlightenment. Clinging to them by using them for crowd entertainment and fame instantly gives rise to ego, removing all your progress. Claiming to have powers to non-monks is also a 3rd degree offense which can get you disrobed.
There are variation of Buddhism. Two example are Mahayan and Theravada. There even still are variation within the 2 types also. This is the same with Christianity and Islam.
thats like saying if you know it so well why wont you be the manager yourself? reading people comments on youtube its like they typing nonsense or they just being silly hahahaha. typing while high??? (TYH) that should be a new bilingual slang for youtube-er
hahah im laughing hard. people seem like they know the 'rule and 'culture' religion more than the real Buddhism them self. its ironic how people act like they know everything. imagine the vid is about business management and they act like they know how to control a business to make it more prosperous.
cambodia buddism is not fully followed the other buddism. there are many branches of buddism. therefore, you can not say that what he did is wrong. u cant criticize any buddism with just one country. different country has different rules.
And one of those 3 was started by a sect of monks who, several hundred years after the Buddha's death, wanted to add their own "flavor" to the religion by including things Buddha did not - meaning they do not follow Buddhist doctrine or teachings, but still call themselves Buddhist. I'm sure there's plenty of other offshoot cults from this that call themselves "Buddhist", meaning we absolutely CAN call them wrong. Because they are.
This man is no more a monk. What he did has automatically disqualified himself as a monk by violating the monk's Vinaya Monastic precepts. He is, in effect, now a common man masquerading as a monk, and creating name and fame for himself. There are better ways to make a living. Pathetic man.
People, speaking as a Theravada Buddhist, I must say that this is simply pathetic. There is nothing magic about this monk, and there is nothing BUDDHIST about this monk either! There are so many things wrong with this video I dont even know where to begin, and I wont even try to fit it into a 500 character limit.
As a Theravada Buddhist, you should know that Animism and Brahmanism is very much an important part of the religion. depends on location. If your in Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, you will see this a lot. Sri Lanka might have its own traditions and same with Burma.
Every buddhist faith has some infusion with another religion, from China to Japan.
Don't say its pathetic if you your self don't know how others practice Buddhism around the world, because saying its pathetic isnt very buddhist of you.
Ok, so if we take Islam, put in elements from the Church of Elvis, include scientology's prehistoric spaceships somewhere in there (Muhammad used them) and add just a dash of James Bond, its still "Islam"? No, its a pathetic mish-mash of myths and traditions with little, if any, of the original doctrine being acknowledged or even practiced.
Clearly ridiculous. Very few good things have come out of Buddhism.

Sometimes it's a test for a monk to overcome the destructive spirit

Buddha purpose for his follower is to pass his teachings and words. And that his follower (monks) detached themselves from the outside world. But this individual is passing on his own healing powers. How could this monk have time to learn about Dharma when he has all these crowds of so-called believers? He should use his time wisely to learn about Dharma if he is a follower and believer of Buddha.

I sure can. At that time there were slaves, and the law for that was for Masters to treat there servants as they would themselves, and for the servants to treat there Masters with respect. People in those times became servants either from loosing a battle, being born into it, or illegally captured to be sold as slaves. When i get a chance ill look up the verse in the bible about the Master and Servant Rules.

Buddha and the Bible have absolutely nothing in common. The Bible is based on the Israelites from mainly from Palestine, Persia, Egypt and Ethiopia. Buddha was an Indian.
Also, how does one find the Bible before God if God was the author of the Bible?
Buddha was alive before Jesus, but after Moses, Abraham, Jacob-Israel etc.
Some claim that Jesus lived in India and was a Buddhist named YUZ ASAF, who is buried in Kashmir near the Pakistan border.

This monk does not represent the religion itself. There is no magic in Buddhism. I can't blame on Cambodian for believing in his magical power since Hinduism rooted in Cambodia even before Buddhism arrived. However, as a monk, he gave the religion bad name. If he's not doing it to get money and gift, I would still think the monk actually thought he has the power while in reality he has none of the magic.

Just because your conception of Buddhism doesn't include magic, that doesn't mean you should insult Hinduism. Belief in spirits and spirit possession, certainly, is rooted in Cambodian culture.

The purpose of a Buddhist's life is to attain enlightenment. Buddhists are not suppose to dwll into supernatural powers as Buddha said that it will cause suspicion Once a Buddhist attain enlightenment, he is in a blissful mental state. It is eternal and he will not suffer anymore. He will not be reborn anymore. There will not be anymore new kamma but just the old. The mental state is in its purest form as he has eradicate greed, hatred and delusion. There's no more attachment . Who needs god?

Buddhists should meditate to attain 4th jhana,. with the help of Vipassana meditation, one can actually heal physical and mental illness.

I like Buddhism and have much respect for BuddhaDharma, but the Buddha himself forbade this kind of practice amongst his own Sangha. The Buddha said that such practices usually lead to con men and when they are discovered, the damage to the population is great because they lose faith in the teachings. Thus the monks are forbidden to show miracles or do anything for recognition or ego boosting. If the people lose faith, then the faker has done great harm to them.

You have to understand, as a scholar, many people incorporate Buddhism to their already existing cultural beliefs. To demand an entire group of people to abandon their indigenous beliefs just to satisfy YOUR standards of what Buddhism should be, is very very unrealistic. Should Tibetan Buddhists abandon their Bon tradition? Should Chinese Buddhists discard Bodhisattva Guanying?

Against Kasey Akira:
I assume you regard yourself as Theravadin. First, you should realise that no Buddhist sect, Theravada or Mahayana, can claim to be the sole inheritor of Sakyamuni's teachings. The Pali Canon was set down centuries after the death of Sakyamuni. Each of the eighteen Hinayana sects had subtly-different scriptures and different interpretations. Of these eighteen Hinayana sect, Theravada was merely one obscure sect which gained power due to political fortunes.
Zoomzan 4 years ago
When Xuanzang visited India during the seventh century, he reported that virtually all Hinayana monks were Pudgalavadin. If Islam did not invade India, then you would be calling Theravadins heretics now.
In any case, scholars have long discovered different interpretations of the Pali canon. See Coomaraswamy, Edward Conze, Mircea Eliade, and others.
Zoomzan 4 years ago
In any case, this "scientific Buddhism" or "Theravadin fundamentalism," which you, Kasey Akira, appear to espouse, is in essence a modern phenomenon based on the infiltration of western rationalism and Christian protestantism. These rationalists, who wished to portray their religion as modern, naturally projected their vain imaginations onto the ancient world.
Zoomzan 4 years ago
All of this discussion matters little, seeing as we are fighting over names. Besides, if you, Kasey Akira, are so great, why aren't you enlightened already?
I just want to point out, that first of all you do not have a monopoly on Sakyamuni's teachings. Second, Buddha does not refer to Sakyamuni specifically. How do you know that Sakyamuni is better than Naropa, Milarepa, Nichiren, Kumarajiva, Nagarjuna, or other enlightened people?
Zoomzan 4 years ago
And now furthermore, the Vinaya is not historically solid either: "He[Gregory Schopen] argues that there is no evidence that this represents a decline from an early period of observance, and suggests that the Vinaya may be an attempt by a self-appointed elite to impose their standards on everyone else."
Zoomzan 4 years ago
Buddha refers to all enlightened beings. Buddha also refers to dharmakaya, tathagata, and the ground of being. Therefore, Sakyamuni, Amitabha, Vairocana, and other Buddhas are equal. Their respective followers should not attack each other out of ignorance of religious dogmatism.
Having experience in several schools of Buddhism, I have unique regard for Cambodian Buddhism, because it preserves the profound teachings of ancient tantra, Brahmanism, and esoteric Buddhism.
Zoomzan 4 years ago 3
Korean and Japanese Buddhists are invariably proud of their ancient shamanic heritages. It is the liberal synthesis of shamanism, Daoism, Shintoism, and Chinese Buddhism which produced the delicate flowers of Tendai and Shingon. And what is Chan Buddhism but Daoism in Buddhist garbs?
Only people who have inferiority complexes cling to a dogmatic, rationalist version of Buddhism which exists only as vain fancy of modern humans.

And consider that Milarepa, one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist yogis, began his career as a sorcerer.
There is a Chinese idiom, "not knowing the height of heaven nor the thickness of earth." It certainly refers to these wannabe-Buddhist critics here.
Zoomzan 4 years ago
As for what sunyata88 says below, you should know that Sakyamuni acknowledges nature spirits. Both the Sutta and the Vinaya testify to his interactions with nature spirits, including several instances where he settles disputes between devata and men.
While many of Sakyamuni's followers became enlightened, Sakyamuni had greater merits because he mastered all six siddhis. Siddhis are intrinsic parts of Buddhism.
Zoomzan 4 years ago
Those people who criticises Buddhist magic are all wannabe Buddhists, usually from non-Buddhist(western) countries, who read one or two short pamphlets then pretend that they know everything about Buddhism.
If you're familiar with the history of Buddhism, you will discover that virtually all accomplished seekers have magical powers or siddhis. This includes Theravada. In fact, the Path of Purification itself describes the acquisition of magical powers
Zoomzan 4 years ago
Those very same scriptures make it explicitly clear that when a person has gained "powers", he must let them go to continue enlightenment. Clinging to them by using them for crowd entertainment and fame instantly gives rise to ego, removing all your progress. Claiming to have powers to non-monks is also a 3rd degree offense which can get you disrobed.
So, you learned Buddhism from a pamphlet?

There are 3 branches of Buddhism, not that many.
And one of those 3 was started by a sect of monks who, several hundred years after the Buddha's death, wanted to add their own "flavor" to the religion by including things Buddha did not - meaning they do not follow Buddhist doctrine or teachings, but still call themselves Buddhist. I'm sure there's plenty of other offshoot cults from this that call themselves "Buddhist", meaning we absolutely CAN call them wrong. Because they are.
