This one is really great!

[JamesBurkeWeb]

Yes, fantastic.

I need one of those globes with movable land masses!

I believe Buddhism is a philosophy similar to a theory based on observation or experience. People choose to make it into a theocracy or a religion.

I find it strange that anyone would say "that's not what Buddhism is" when he is telling you with a backdrop of the Himalayas. He is sitting where it is practiced. Maybe modernity or westernization has stripped away the gods it once had to make a new version, but there is no sense in denying it's past.

Thanks for uploading these, it really helped me in writing an essay!

@ca1980sl  True...in the purist sense of Buddhism, it not there...but I suppose Burke was talking about Nepalese Buddhism...or Tibetan buddhism, which blended with the local gods.

[ca1980sl]

Nice video, but this is so much in ERROR when it starts talking about gods and sub gods in Buddhism. there is absolutely nothing as such in pure Buddhist scriptures.

I love the last posts people put up about global warming, because among the biggest group of scientists fighting (AGW) global warming, were the American Association of Petroleum Geologists--for whatever self-interest the industry may have.

Coincidentally, they were also THE biggest haters of Wegener's ideas...so much so, that they actually formed a symposium to refute him.

The AAPG now admits that human activity plays a part in global warming. Funny how science does change the truth.

Not only does Buddhism, sort of, do the same things science does, Buddha actually advocated the scientific method (minus the peer review)
