 Are we ready? Yes. Ready? Cheers. Cheers. I like it. Thank you, Jess Cup. No problem. What is that? Healthy? You gotta do label out, too. Let's do the little clinkly. Nice. No. He sounds hollow. No, it sounds hollow. Not the same. So a couple months ago, I did an outer sleeve on my client. With that being said, I'm gonna tell you guys a story about Buddha. I need to give you guys some juicy... Is he a guy or is he a god? Hold on. Relax, my dude. Is that a bad question? It's a bad question. It's gonna be in there. It's gonna be interesting. Buddha means the awakened one. He was an ordinary person named Siddhartha Watama, whose profound insights inspire the world. Insights. Insights. Whose profound insights... Profound insights. What did I say? What did I say? Insights. Intestines. Let me just say that one more time. Profound. Whose profound insights inspire the world. Yes. Siddhartha Watama was born in 623 BC, in the famous garden of Lumini, Nepal. 600 BC. Beautiful place I heard. Don't you have it? I was just like... Me, I was just like, what place did you just say? You know, I'm still trying to get over there. I'm still trying to get over the name. 600 BC. Okay. 600 years before Jesus Christ happened. Okay. It's a lot of years. He was the son of a king, and he was born into wealth. He was rich. He was rich. It's called bringing you a beautiful face. He was rich with a lot of passion. No, he was just rich with a lot of kindness. Maybe? No. Just rich. He was just rich? When he was born, the king, as any other father, wanted to know, what does the future hold for my son? So the king consulted a yogi to predict the future of his son, and the yogi said that he will either become a great emperor or a great sage. In a sage, it's a profound philosophy. Who's the other guy? He's not a very great yogi. He asked me, someone comes and be like, I'm going to tell you your future. You're either rich or you're either broke. I'm like, boom. Wait, who's the other guy that it was? The father? No, it's like another Buddha. Is there many Buddhas? Every backtracking fool would know this one better. Just wait. Okay, okay, okay. We have no idea who this one is. Okay. I'm barely starting. Caught up. As far as you need to know. I'm here to learn. So, as any other, because his dad is royalty, hey, relax, we just got started. What are you doing? You never really got it. I suck at history. That's why I'm trying to make it interesting. I wish I had you as my teacher. The good parts don't. Dirty thoughts, stop it. You're a high school teacher. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to get a hot towel. Or a professor. Oh, dude. Concentrate. Okay, here we go. Because his dad was royalty, he needed him to become a great emperor. Like, that was no question. Like, this dude, my son, got to be the next king up in here. So, the king wanted him to become a great emperor. He thought, by being exposed to some suffering, misery, he may turn into a sage. So, his dad didn't want him to experience any suffering, misery. Wait, what are you doing? Your baby's popping out. What is going on? This is really connecting with her. This is hitting on all the chakras. I think this is an awakening for her. She's reaching enlightenment. She is reaching enlightenment. What is in that container? I don't know what this is. What I thought it was, like, some hydrating powders. Turns out it was tequila. You must have got the same drink. You got a drink? Cheers. Hey, man. I'm going to repeat the whole thing one more time. Well, not the whole thing. That's what we're going to do. I got a little dizzy out here. And we'll take a break. We're going to pause right here. Back from a commercial break. The king wanted him to become a great emperor. He thought that by being exposed to some suffering or misery, he may turn into a sage. So, because if his son was experiencing misery and suffering, he might be like, you know what? I think I want to be a sage instead of an emperor. So he kept him in the palace for years with the best food, clothes, and pleasure. He was showing him like everything that's great about being an emperor. Also, he didn't want him to see the outside. What? Because the outside is nothing but misery and suffering. So he kept him in the palace for years and years. When he was 16 years of age, his father got him married to a very young princess and later had a son. You know what's kind of cringy about the person that Buddha married? It was the cousin. Oh, I was going to say, it's easy. Keep it in the family. La prima se la rima. No. Easy. Prince Siddhartha was 29 years old when his life changed. He snuck out of the palace to go outside and explore. He said, I'm going outside. I'm a snake out. Like, I'm tired of being in this palace. Yeah, I know. 29? Everyone's just like... His parents were Mexican. While he was outside the palace, he first saw an old man. Then he followed that old man because he had never seen such a thing. Then after following the old man, he came across a sick person. As he kept exploring, he came across a funeral with someone that was dead. He realized that his privileged status were not protecting from sickness, old age, and death. So after he realized that everybody gets to experience misery and suffering in real life, the prince left everything behind. Oh, his royal life behind. His wife left her behind. The son left them behind. Why? He left everything. He gave away his clothes, everything he owned. He disappeared. He left. He left. That's it. Can we get it? He left. He didn't. He didn't write it. So you're saying he did leave? OK. OK. He's going to like, what is that? I know. Sorry. I just wanted to... He left. You guys understood that, right? He left. He left. He left the wife. He left the son behind. He left. He just... Gone. Where is that boy at? He's gone. He's gone. Didn't you hear me? He left. He's gone. He began studying with other gurus so he can understand suffering so he can gain wisdom and freedom. But none could answer his question. They believed the way to elevate the mind and the door to wisdom was found at the age of death. So in order for you to find wisdom, you have to basically be almost dead. That's the only way that they believe to reach freedom and wisdom. However, after six years of Siddhartha fasting and going through torture to understand suffering, it wasn't working. His body just kept getting weaker and the prince only felt frustration. Eventually he realized that the path to peace was through mental discipline. That's when he realized, I gotta get my act together. Like, it's not just fasting and going through suffering. In here. He saw in meditation beneath a body tree until he was awakened and reached enlightenment. So for days and days, he was under this tree and he was just meditating with his eyes closed. Oh! How did we miss a high five? We're gonna add that up. Wait, so they didn't have prenups back then? So they married family, right? They said like, they married family. She was also a prince, a princess. But like, if you wanted to- You need your money? If you wonder when the prenup was invented. So when you get married, you get a prenup? No, 100% in. That goes to your third wife. To the future? To the future you. To the future you. No prenup. He sat there with determination and I quote. Is that how you say it? And I quote. That's what you gotta do. Quote. Either I must see in ultimate, either I must see ultimate nature of my existence now or I will sit here until I die. So we are threatening his mind. It's like, yo. Better be it there or I'll stay until I die. He's like playing chicken with God. He's like, who is gonna move first? I will not open my eyes until I know this and he in fact reached enlightenment and because of that, because of his patience, the first ever Buddha was born. So it worked? It worked? I don't know what they're in my mouth. That's how you gotta do it. So he gained all this. Oh, he got burning. Oh, he'll die. So because now you guys know about the story behind Buddha, I pulled out some interesting facts. There's more? Just facts. Top, my top favorite facts that I found. Top twisted facts about Buddha. Buddhism comes from Hinduism. Buddha used to practice Hinduism. So he took a few things from Hinduism, religion and applied it to his own practice. Buddhism didn't exist before, Sanata. So tweak the laws a little bit. Yeah, he said, I like this from Hinduism. So I'm gonna take this and apply it to my practice. And then once he became Buddha, he created Buddhism. So that leads me to my next fact. Buddhism is not a religion. It's a way of life. And is it reincarnation too, part of it? Or is that being pretty crazy to end up in like a bee's life and an animal's life if you go that route? Cause you could go animal or human, right? If you live it well, you become something well. And if you live it bad, you become something less than what you were in this previous life. I think that's the philosophy. How on that stage, what's the good and what's the bad? It's like all organisms matter. Good question. Right? In Buddhism, they teach the life is full of suffering. And by practicing Buddhism, they can minimize the suffering that you feel. And the more you practice it, there will be a point when you reach nirvana. Practice makes perfect. That's what they always say. So before I talk about nirvana, basically in Buddhism, they teach you that life is just suffering. There's nothing good about life. Really? Yes. It's negative. It is? Not very enlightening to what it started out with. And that's because I'm leading up to nirvana. So... So there's like an end goal. There's an end goal to this. So the end goal is because life is full of suffering, you keep getting reborn. You keep getting reincarnated into a different body or any living thing. By following the four noble truths, there's four noble truths that you have to follow in Buddhism. By following the four noble truths, it revolves around an understanding of why we suffer and how we end suffering. So once you reach nirvana, you're gone forever. You stop reincarnating. Where do you go? That's it? You didn't come back? I think the goal is just to cease to exist. I think you go to the next realm that's your ticket in. No, it's not a next realm, nothing. That's the goal? The goal is to die and never come back. It's like you're just gonna suffer, suffer, suffer, bring your lettuce, help you minimize the suffering that you're feeling. While you're living. So you can reach no existence. That's Buddhism. Really? Yeah. So the first part of the four noble truths is the suffering part. Understanding the suffering. So understanding the suffering is inevitable. Yeah, so it's like you're gonna be suffering. So that's number one. The second is the truths of the cause of suffering. So then you're like, okay, I'm suffering, but why? I'm at a good place because I know that I can control my feelings and can control and everything around me is not gonna cause me any harm. And that is the suffering that. Understanding the cause. Understanding the cause and you can control that. Like, okay, I understand why I'm suffering. I get it. Now, what am I gonna do about it? A little bit of therapy there, right? Yes. Then the third noble truth is the truth of the end of suffering. So after you understand it, you're like, now I can stop it. Like now I know that suffering is just this thing that I can stop. Yeah, okay. And the fourth one is the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering, which is nirvana. Over time, do they try to make him a god or? No. Okay, so he always stayed like, hey, I'm not a god. He never had to say it. Just a way of life. Yeah, it's a way of life. He never had to say it because it was already like. Known. Yeah, it was known. It wasn't something that they had to pray to someone. Even the temples that they have in Nepal and Asia and all these places about Buddhism, the temples are not meant for you to go and pray to someone. It's just you go in there and you meditate and practice what the books that they give you because they have books and books of how to reach enlightenment and nirvana. That's the main thing. Did you have some? Yeah. But yes. Why are you wiping it? Huh? Why are you wiping it? What do you mean? You're wiping my saliva. I saw a video where it says wipe your husbands or not like your partner's thing to see what they would do. I don't know what it is. So yes, what do you guys think? That's heavy, huh? That's interesting. It's a very interesting topic, yeah. I mean, it's. It's a little confusing, to be honest. I thought it was a religion. Yeah. I think I was the one who didn't think it was a religion. Yeah, a lot of people do think it's a religion. That's why I wanted to like. I feel like it kind of still falls under religion. It kind of falls under religion because at the end of the day, Buddha did take a few things from Hinduism, the religion, it takes on practice. So I feel like technically, it is. For me, it's just strange. It's strange, huh? That that's the end goal to just like not exist.
