- A talk from Jnanavaca given at the Mid-Essex buddhist centre.
‘A human being is part of a whole, called by us “Universe”, a part limited
in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to the affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.’ - Albert Einstein

Wow....one of the best & subtle explanations I have ever come across. As the Buddha said, impermanence is the ONLY permanence in the illusion
The sense of human cannt percieve the the real universe. The bat ,the color blind, r good sample. This is amazing. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing a “mythological” view that works for western scientific minds! :-)
Beautiful dhamma talk. Has definitely left me with a larger sense of wonder and curiosity. Much appreciated.
It's not dhamma. It's dharma it is the word is used both in Hinduism and Buddhism.
@@crazyrebel7406 dhamma is pali spelling. Dharma is Sanskrit spelling. Many Theravada people prefer to use the Pali spelling instead of the official english which adopted the Sanskrit spelling.
@@crazyrebel7406 hey u like hermione, it's not( wingardium) leviosa not leviosa
(>.
Pali expression and has links with India - but its own spelling and even meanings, of course. Fare thee well - rebel. Hee hee@@crazyrebel7406
Thank you so much for the interesting discussion.
Our brain waves effect matter .......in the Quantum field. ONENESS IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL.....
You think!!
I wrote the most extensive and wide-ranging book on the issue, and much much more - my 2010 book 'Quantum Buddhism'. You can do a search and my work generally comes top of the search results. So odd no one seems to mention it!
why not create your own youtube channel... or even better tiktok it...
Thank you so much. So interesting
gaia matrix is in my veins, gaia matrix is my nervous system , gaia matris is all my concepts , gaia matrix is my sence of self, gaia matrix is a Toroid in and of the deep sea of awareness, and in her gift of creation she offers soverenty in the form of the backward step into a cultivated self Toroid , through the bacward step
Thanks Jnanavaca
You're Welcome!

Lord Buddha saw and said about everything before 2500 years, what nowadays scientists invent using modern apparatus, telescopes, computers etc.
Consciousness is an activity of the body according to buddhism
It is too deep for me now. Perhaps i should use my intuition to understand it. Thank you.
49:30 brings it down to normal level. I still didn’t see the connection of meditation
It's true. meditation is an exercise for your mind. Like we do training to achieve something. We train our physical body to achieve something. Meditation is a method to train your mind. To which direction you train your mind is based on what type of training you undergo.
Isn’t meditation a method to reduce the normal ‘filtering’ of the brain?
Ultimately, meditation is becoming aware. Nothing to do. Nothing to look at. Just remain in a state of clear awareness.
