  • Buddhism is a religion and philosophy that originated in ancient India and has since spread across the modern world.
    Buddhism is based on the teachings of The Buddha, or Siddhartha Gautama.
    The Buddha lived in ancient India in the 5th century BCE.
    He was a prince, born into a wealthy and privileged family in the Shakya clan in present-day Nepal.
    However, he became deeply troubled by the suffering he saw around him.
    He made a vow to try to find a solution to this problem of suffering.
    So, Prince Gautama left his family and all his worldly possessions behind and began a search to overcome suffering and to find the source of true and lasting happiness.
    After years of intense contemplation and study, including many years of severe privation, the Buddha attained Enlightenment, or Nirvana.
    He found what he was looking for: the source of true and lasting happiness.
    From this moment on, The Buddha devoted himself to sharing his insights with others.
    The Buddha's teachings, known as the Dharma, are centred on:
    The Four Noble Truths & The Eightfold Path
    The Four Noble Truths are:
    Graphic:
    Life is suffering
    The cause of suffering is desire and ignorance.
    Suffering can be ended.
    The way to end suffering is to follow the Eightfold Path.
    _______________________________________________________________________
    The Eightfold Path is a set of ethical and spiritual practices. They are:
    Graphic:
    Right understanding
    Right intention
    Right speech
    Right action
    Right livelihood
    Right effort
    Right mindfulness
    Right concentration
    ___________________________________________________________________
    The Buddha offered the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path as a framework to understand the nature of suffering and how to overcome it.

    I am a therawada buddhist in sri lanka and things I have learnt and realized are endless. I am a biology student and lot of the time religious concepts doesn't add up with the science I learn. But buddhism was different. Things I learnt from buddhism, things that are in my limits meaning things I am able to experience from senses I have as a human always add up. I encourage anyone who wants to learn it. Meditation is not the only thing that helps. teachings go way deeper in to your mind and is truly amazing. Brings so much peace.

      I have been to some of the villages in Bihar where the Buddha taught the four noble truths. One of them is Bhatgawan mispronounounced as Bandagawan in the Mahaparinirvana story. Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.

      This video is educative. About the eight fold path, I know where the Buddha taught this. Many of the ancient sangarams are today villages. There is one unique village name which is NAWADA meaning eight promises. These villages are common in Bihar. Eight promises can be translated as the eight fold path. It seems these villages had the pleasure of the Buddha preaching to the distant ancesters of the present day villagers, ‘The eight fold path’. Infact Sariputra became an Arhat in a sangaram called NAWADA in Vaishali. Nawada means the eight promises.

      @@Awperan Personally I am not a ashiest, so I do explore "spirituality" as a passion even. Though I am not closed to atheist's ideas or the possibility either. I just think that at least 25% percent of my learning should be skeptical thought and looking up debunking and critical ideas surrounding the religions and philosophies I learn about.
      I have enjoyed learning about zen buddhism and am particularly fond of the idea os shoshin. My critism of it is mostly Japanese cultural bagage. There seems to be a for lack of better words, anally retentive aspect to Japanese culture that made its way in. As much as a westerner reading Koans is simplistic, as I learn more about it it is actually quite ritualistic. Rituals can be powerful, just as trances are to unveil deep aspects we veil from ourselves that lie waiting to be revealed to be sure. Its all balance and tact I guess. Most of my learning is around Therevada buddhism, so most of my critiques are as well. I am not sure how many would still apply to zen but if you are sincerely interested I would be happy to share my critiques of it

    Theravada Buddhism specifically delves into such depths of the human psyche and realizes such unimaginable truths that I'm awestruck every single time I come across it. It is far more to-the-point than its more modern counterpart, Mahayana, which has taken upon itself the methodical and extensive usage of mythology and other magical concepts.

Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic.

    In Buddhism, there are 4 types of practical abilities: 1. Sotapanna, 2. Sakadagami, 3. Anagami, and 4. Arhat. ^^ The details must be studied thoroughly. Some people will say that there is no need to become a Buddhist. Or do not have to come to worship Buddhism This idea is only half right. because of the practice on the Dharma path or middle way It is very important to respect the Three Jewels, namely the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. But when you attain the Dharma Your mind will know that You don't have to cling to everything in the life cycle, as if we were rowing a boat across another coast. When you reach the shore, you don't need to carry a boat with you.

And there is an analysis of how the physical world was created at the quantum level. So, If you can, post videos about Abhidharma in this channel. But it will not be possible to cover abhidharma completely in a single video and it will be necessary to do a deep study because most of these abhidharma books are in Pali or Sinhala language. If someone interested in Abhidharma, you can find some videos on youtube in english. Those videos will provide you kick start for Abhidharma. 👊✨️

It took me on a journey down memory lane as I studied and practiced the Dhamma venturing through the schools as I developed in practice and study and even pilgrimaged to Tibet. The experience was once in a lifetime and absolutely breathtaking. To give a true overview of the Buddha's teachings however, one MUST also include the Lotus school in this video series. The Lotus Sutra is the core principal of all the Dharma teachings. Although helpful, the teachings prior to the Lotus Sutra are elementary in the actual scope of Buddha Dharma and the Universal Law.

    As a Romanian Buddhist, I practise aspects from all the schools. Mindfulness and philosophy are very important, leading to enlightenment. Compassion and equality are also core values, but worshipping is not something for the Buddhists. Mantras and tantras are almost as powerful as meditation. I also practise Vedic Chanting, even though this one is a Hindu practice. I am also a Christian, I believe in the resurection of Jesus Christ, who was a pure manifestation of the Divine Potential on Earth, truely a conscious offspring of God. I basically have a new school of Buddhism and a new neo-protestant sect. More than that, I have a whole new religion just for myself, a cult of love, peace, mindfulness and divine compassion and faith.

    Thank you for the amazing video! Some of my thoughts:
    The 1st noble truth can be described as “suffering exists” (rather than life is suffering and the way out is to get rid of life).
    The 2nd truth explains the arising of suffering. Through the six senses, different kinds of feelings, perceptions, and volition are born. When under ignorance, wrong views and grasping tangle us, bringing about sufferings.
    The forth truth shows us the way, usually summarised as the eightfold path. But we can also understand it this way:
    Following the precepts and living a righteous life, we can easily be mindful and aware in each moment. Meditation on the breathing, loving-kindness and impurity calm our body and mind, bringing ease, joy, happiness, for concentration to be possible. This in turn allows reality to reveal itself. Understanding and non-grasping then help liberate our afflictions or knots.
    The 3rd truth talks about uprooting ignorance, craving and hatred, that is the extinction and quenching of wrong views and dukkha’s chain, leaving us freedom, solidity, peace, freshness...
    This is my alternative way to clarify the teaching. Hope it is useful for our practices.

    The meditation that you referred to a "Vipassana meditation" is actually "Samatha meditation". It's often taught as if it is just the intro to Vipassana but it is actually a stand alone and foundational meditation that focuses the mind and detaches it from distraction and fear, putting the mind in the perfect state to then progress to other forms of meditation like Vipassana (insight)meditation, metta (loving kindness) meditation, etc.

      The Vipassanā movement, also called (in the United States) the Insight Meditation Movement and American Vipassana movement, refers to a branch of modern Burmese Theravāda Buddhism that promotes "bare insight" (sukha-Vipassana) to attain stream entry and preserve the Buddhist teachings, which gained widespread popularity since the 1950s, and to its western derivatives which have been popularised since the 1970s, giving rise to the more dhyana-oriented mindfulness movement.
      The Burmese Vipassana movement has its roots in the 19th century, when Theravada Buddhism came to be influenced by western modernism, and some monks tried to restore the Buddhist practice of meditation. Based on the commentaries, Ledi Sayadaw popularized Vipassana meditation for lay people, teaching samatha and stressing the practice of satipatthana to acquire Vipassana (insight) into the three marks of existence as the main means to attain the beginning of awakening and become a stream-enterer.

      The visuals are good. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.

    Your video is educative. About the eight fold path, I know where the Buddha taught this. Many of the ancient sangarams are today villages. There is one unique village name which is NAWADA meaning eight promises. These villages are common in Bihar. Eight promises can be translated as the eight fold path. It seems these villages had the pleasure of the Buddha preaching to the distant ancesters of the present day villagers, ‘The eight fold path’. Infact Sariputra became an Arhat in a sangaram called NAWADA in Vaishali. Nawada means the eight promises.

    I want to wish many merits to those who aided this video,I felt very emotional when i heard my beautiful Island. I am Sri Lankan ,my country protected this great teaching but now my country is beyond repair it seems. The colonizers have made sure of that. I live in an area with a heretic( fake monk/Chivaradari) who molests little boy monks and no one can punish him because of the connections, tricks etc he uses.
    Sri Lanka needs immediate reordination!!!
    There are so many heretics in Sri Lanka now its just such a shame. A famous monk said only 10% of the total monk population of Sri Lanka are all good monks, the rest are just heretics. My country has gone through a 30 year civil war with the worlds first terrorist organization (LTTE), tsunamis, floods, terror attacks from ISIS and economic and political turmoil. I don't if my country can take it anymore.

    Dear Orator,
    Vipassana is an ancient form of meditation which was present even in the time before Buddha in india in 5th century BCE. It’s not originated in 19th century in Burma. However in modern times it’s get popular under leadership of SN Goenka.

      Oh! I realized now what you meant. Ok, that’s right. DHAMMA ( i.e. law of nature) has already presented and presents all the time. But no body know it until it was discovered by a person who known as “ Sambasambuddha”(Buddha). Right? But I meant that Vipassana hasn’t well known before Buddha taught to others. Is that right? Anyway thank you for sharing knowledge each other. You have a wonderful Mingala.
