The left seeks social justice through redistributive social and economic policies, while the right defends private property and capitalism. The nature of the conflict depends on existing social and political cleavages and on the level of economic development.

Where are you getting your information regarding Mahayana from? You're way off.

How do you know Sayadaw attain enlightened?

Here above the monk exposed himself with that one his so endearingly said phrase "...IN OUR THERAVADA...", perhaps. 😮

🙏🙏🙏

❤❤❤

What did the people of India and Nepal eat 2500 years ago? The Buddha was born into a Hindu family, along with much of these countries. It probably also became customary to serve vegetarian meals to monks and everyone, not just for religious reasons.

I really hope meeting you someday. You are really brave.

The speaker seems to have some misunderstanding about Mahayana. Speaker better discusses again with more practitioners

Already found nirvana yet its not a huge boom like i expected its more a slow growing peace that makes things empty like ideas point of view etc and if deep enough in it i cant give one f if in pain its helping to keep me alive

what do u do if are awake to a level yet am not a Buddhist? this ego knows what it is and that its fiction like right now no one is even writing this

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

I dont believe in western monk haha

You should also adress, in asia parent or senior monks forcing children to meditate to show off western people for money and donation and if childern sleep they get punishment. Speaking from my experience. Meditation is a bad word for me.

Buddha,dhamma and sangha its rare but also a safe a place not much problems but living at 20% or less buddha,dhamma,sangha in your own country it feels like losing the truth.

Total nonsense

sadhu sadhu sadhu

If there is No Self (Annata) and no hard substance but just process does this mean only the Karma is transferred during the rebirth from one Individual to the next? And does this mean a individual is reborn not only after death but also in the mid of lifetime. Or another question: are some of the 5 Skandhas much longer present then others (for example a spirit that could be transferred) from one individual to the next? And maybe a last question: Could Nirwana something like a world-soul that is - in the form of Buddha Nature (as long as it is not just a potential to become Buddha) - eternal and already us, as all humans, and finally reached when we have left Samsara?

Buddha said to look within and find the truth. All that has to be done is for laypeople to be asked politely not to offer meat. We live in times of abundance generally speaking, meat eating should be for survival purposes just as it was in the beginning. True enlightenment will come when both monks, nuns and lay people understand this.

Thank you, Bhante, for this useful video 🙏🙏🙏

Can someone answer me why Buddha had hair but not his disciples & other followers?

nice throne

Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🙏🙏

🙂🙂🙂 sadhu x3

A simple-minded analysis. No enlightened person and never an enlightened Lama has spoken such trash. Philosophically this person is ignorant of the subject, which is far more subtle and complex than he understands. Don’t be misled by the color he’s wearing for he has nothing to do with Tibetan Buddhism.

sadhu sadhu sadhu

SADHU SADHU SADHU🙏🙏🙏

Do theravada believe there is a self?

🙏🙏🙏

Positivity, Stillness & Understanding will ALWAYS attract the opposite. This fact must be accepted & understood universally... Yet, Submitting to another with hurtful intention, only reinforces that behaviour as an Avenue of solution. The Balance must be maintained.

"So if you experience pain in your meditation... that is not exactly what was expected....." Hahaha! That is very nicely said, indeed. Thanks, Bante Sarana.

Also I can speak to one of my great grandfather teacher who was asked what is the most important thing in human life and he said a strong mind. He meant this because humans have a strong mind and without a strong mind one cannot do sadhana. I have attested to sometimes one needs medication to strengthen the mind during certain illnesses and weakness due to a person’s contsitution and trauma. I also have a vajrayana teacher who is also a psychiatrist MD and Psychoanalyst who teaches at my institute PANY in NCY. If you need any advice navigating your CMHC masters program or some references on this area please reach out anytime. 😊.

This is so important. I am a MA in clinical mental health counseling / psychotherapist and psychoanalytically trained counselor. and a eastern religious practitioner in a Hindu tradition who is now studying Theravada because I have a seemed to met a block in my meditation practice over 20 years and I am beginning to question and investigate in a more Buddhist way. You may like to read the American Buddhist Psychiatrist Mark Epstein. Who has books such as “psychotherapy without a self”. He is Theravada. I’m sure he would speak to you as well if you contacted him 😊. Thanks for your teachings! Best to you! Brian

The list from the vinaya I saw excluded monkeys but also don't eat monkeys.

A DI ĐÀ PHẬT BUHATABAHA

Thank you for this dhamma talk. It has helped my understanding and inspired me although I am not sure about a couple of points. I think of the brahmaviharas as being ways a person of goodwill responds to different situations so although metta is often seen as the basis of them all I’m not sure you need to work on them consecutively. You could also argue that you need equanimity to maintain the other three. Equanimity can sometimes sound like a coldly rationalising indifference but that is actually its near enemy as I understand it. Isn’t it really a quality of calm unshakability and wisdom that allows us to respond kindly and skilfully to whatever arises?

Sadhu

In the Amagandha Sutta, the Buddha said: 'Neither meat, nor fasting, nor nakedness, Nor shaven heads, nor matted hair, nor dirt, Nor rough skins, nor fire-worshipping, Nor all the penances here in this world, Nor hymns, nor oblation, nor sacrifice, Nor feasts of the season, Will purify a man overcome with doubt.'

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you sadhu 🙏🏻🇹🇭❤️🇻🇳🙏🏻🇨🇳❤️🙏🏻
