Welcome to my channel, please enjoy my travels to Africa where I have visited to date 1 Oct 21, 13 countries and I will be on my journey to complete the 54 countries from November 2021 onward. I have plentiful of information and if you desire to visit or move to the continent, please don't hesitate for a consultation and or my International Pre-Travel guide. Please look at my video given you the information to help and assist you • Video
I showcase Africa in my travels to include other countries. My desire is to change the narrative that the western world painted in a negative light of Africa. My channel has talks, words of wisdom, business, investing, purchase property in Africa and livestream discussions. I further show the negative impacts of America in how it continues to have a disregard for Black people. I know my channel is not for everybody whether you agree or not, but my intent is not to hurt people nor disrespect.

I am Indian Buddhist. Salute to your work Bhante for awakening the people about the real way of living life.
Would love to see Buddhism become a counter balance to the overwhelming presence of Christianity and Islam..
Guess I'm a little biased being a tantric Buddhist.. but it's awesome to to see a Buddhism in Africa ..
Buddhism won’t promise you about savior, protector or gods but it will teach you the paths to inner peace, contentment and enlightenment thru meditation, yoga, philosophy and science. Anyone can become a Buddha (awakened mind) free from suffering !
This is beautiful! I am a black buddhist follower, and to find this video and see that there are Buddhist in Africa as well is so comforting/cool! Makes me feel welcomed more that there are followers of my color. Love to Buddhism🧡💛💚
I have a question for you, would your practice of teachings make you a full on Nun automatically of the faith or would it be that you are starting a self exploration of the teachings and seek more knowledge to be of enlightenment, Just sheer Curiosity. I was always taught that every being on this Earth was allowed to find their truth without consequence if they so choose. What would be your take on this exploration of your truth?
Girl you are going to hell if you continue this statue worship
Sister, Don't say Black yourself. In Buddhism everyone is equal. 😊❤ Namo Buddhay, Please come Buddha's India. Visit Bodhgaya. 🙏☸️🇮🇳
@@edithbean-rg8jmin your dreams
OMG we rarely see black buddhist!! This is so inspiring and fascinating thank you
I'm Buddhist and there's a lot of them.
@@BeeBee-wu1fz where?
Indeed
Congratulations to go black he finally did it, he actually interviewed someone with a way of life closer to black people way of life, before Islam and Christianity was forced and beating into us. By the way the original Buddhist were black.
@@taharka3897yes Siddhartha. 👌🏾👏🏾 ☸️ 🇺🇬
You asked very good questions concerning how/ why this man embraced Buddhism. Your channel is exploring very important topics. Keep up the great work!
I met this guy in Thailand and he was the only black monk among all the monks. Very easy going guy.
What!
..one of many!!!
Africans were the first to populate Thailand and Cambodia. Khoisan Bushmen and the African Bantu people from Senegal. Compare the Thai boxing and Senegalese Wrestling drums, dances etc.. entire African cultures all throughout Asia especially in Thailand and Cambodia.
@@Nimonjeua-Ndiangang Bro are you a Black Ansian or better yet in my country we would say Blackaneese. 🤦🏽♂️ sorry if you feel offended. you seem to look like one and also know alot about the far east
@@JL-pv9vz no I'm not Asian, I'm African braa'da. I'm not offended at all. Actually Asians look like Africans. Look up the Khoisan Bushmen Tribes of Sub Saharan Africa and you will see the direct ancestors of the modern Asian but, no Im Bamenda Cameroonian. Peace braa'da.
@@Nimonjeua-Ndiangang no 😅 stop iy
I stumbled upon. I was looking into Buddhism and here you are 🤣
This channel is for critical thinkers ...wow impressive array of discussions GB✌🏾✊🏿
Wow! Very enlightening and respectful conversation. Good stuff👍🏾
Buddha is a false god. Only Yah is the Elohim of the Heavens and the Earth. He told His people not to bow down to any engraving image, that is part of the reason why they went into slavery.
Such a beautiful dialogue between two wise men of color!
Thank you for sharing this precious interaction.
It was very enlightening!
This was awesome! Your content is becoming more and more enlightening, and your immersion into these different cultures is commendable!! Keep it coming...
I'm afraid of people like you that don't realize it's only one true God
Yep, Black folks would benefit so much from understanding the mind and ego. Yep purifying the mind is a long but fruitful journey.
Bro GoBLACK2AFRICA your work is Emmy-worthy. Thank you for keeping us in the loop. APTTMH!
Thanks Go Black….. another wonderful interview. I love learning from your travels.
I had to stop just after your introduction and share this with other people thank you my brother and to this Monk he is so beautiful hope beautiful for him love and gratitude
Buddhism seems to have many similarities to African ancestral religious beliefs and customs... from an Asian culture theme and and perspective.
See world history, research. It must be exstensive. Uncover
As a Buddhist, I am delighted to know that Siddhartha Gautama Buddhism is practice in Africa by African.
That was a powerful interview. Namasté
One doesn,t have to practice buddhism to be awakened. Everyone,s journey is different. Remember we r all here for a reason. The most important thing in life is self recognition and the respect for all things existing. And that could be achieved through many ways.
True,we are Africans,each to their own.
Buddism isnt our culture, its for EastIndians and Asians. Africans have their own spiritual science.
Basic overstanding of how practically everything is interconnected. Is low-key enough to have respect for all things existing.
There are no two ways to enlightenment. Only one way.That is called Nirvana"
Again, loving the production and interview quality! No doubt! Great job on bringing us nothing but quality GoBlack.
GoBlack; I believe that you’ve outdone yourself, this time.
Though I’ve, thoroughly, enjoyed every, single, episode of your teachings ( that I have absorbed, to date ) - this, particular, detoxification master-sode ( in my opinion ) is, absolutely, profound.
You are a credit to, both, the Diaspora - and; humanity, at large.
One caveat:
The, most, crucial thing that I’ve gleaned, from Venerable Monk Sangharakkhita :
Critical self-analysis and understanding is paramount to, all ( underscored ), external underpinnings.
‘The gravy, on top :
Evil =
Hatred
Greed
Delusion
The Contrary =
Light
Truth
Truth Seekers
So - we should start referring to those that, grossly, oppress others ( especially, us ) as ‘HGDs;’ and our audience as ‘LTTs.’
When one is truly "enlightened" you realize there is no need for titles and costumes! "The Mind is All The Universe is Mental"!

Before you know anything KNOW THYSELF!
There is no Budda in heaven.

Great conversation.
So much respect.
Thanks for this 🙏🏿
Reincarnation vs Rebirth caught my attention and I will be looking further into the difference between these two. Thank you brother for your interviews and great questions🙏🏽
This was well done you ask the right question and i got some very good answers
Most of what he speaks are fundamentals of TRUTH but most won't know it!
That's what I was thinking , it's all the same but said in different ways . I believed in Yahuah and Yashusa ,is the way I am going . To each it's own. I am not the judge take care.
@@denisecoleman5090 Hallelu YAH, YAHUSHA is the one who came to me in my deepest despair, YAHUAH is hidden and indeed it is he alone I too have chosen to follow! For HIS sheep hear his voice, and it’s the only Voice that comforted me. Peace and Light! Shalawam 🙏🏾
Bro.Go Black,thank you again!Teaching,I did not their were Black Buddhist in Africa
BUDDHISM is from Africa...
In the USA there are
Thank you!!!! Love this discussion. East Indians are African Buddhist. ❤❤❤
Absolutely love Buddhism it's very aligned to my "way of life", meditation, knowledge, celibacy, Buddhist are vegetarian and do not eat onion and garlic. Karma involves the eating of all species that have souls it creates negative Karma. Having only good thoughts for self and others. Non violent Living. Living a life of Purity and having a direct connection with God. We live on the basis of the soul and it's qualities (knowing the self).. Really loving Uganda they are open and have a bit of everything there. Our center is also in Kampala Uganda.
Also check out Taoism
@@stacytaylor4876 Taoism is a religion, true Buddhism is a way of life. My practice is a way of life not a religion.
This is a utopian take on life which isnt really compatible with the reality of a brutal physical world, it's great for calming your spirit but it offers zero protection against the harshness of life, and it sure as hell cant protect your family, village or city from others looking to do you evil.. Youd be better off studying Kung Fu b'cus then you would at least know how to karate chop your assailant.
@@anonymousvip1665 I do just fine with my meditation practice . There is no need for me to be violent to anyone even in my thoughts everyone close to me is protected.
@@anonymousvip1665 oh those of feeble minds seek pleasures of the hades to come
Thank you Bhante explaining about the universal truth everyone must follow FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS and NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH namo buddhaya
It's good to see and hear a perspective that is just not the same old same thing 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
William just by the words you spoke here let me know that ancient had more then one particular spiritual systems but you can tell they're of Cush.
That was interesting. Thank you Goblack ❤❤
Yay! Awesome interview
Black Buddhist. Now we're talking! Buddhism is *exactly* what many who came from the West need. Buddhism cuts right through the programming no matter how powerful and abiding it may be. I always say you can't really understand Torah until you've gotten to the higher levels of Buddhism.
You look very happy in his presence.
I hope I can visit this place some day.
Thank you for sharing parts if my country that I didn't know existed. This was an awesome stop and interview.
I enjoyed the interview with the monk thanks for sharing.
Yes and my gratitude and love to this wonderful servant to you my brother for posting this
SADHU SADHU SADHU, I have never seen such an interview till date. The person asking the question is also trying to know the right thing and the person ( BHANTE) telling is also giving the right answer.
Sadhu!Sadhu!Sadhu !🙏🙏🙏
This Was Remarkable! We Need to Cleanse Our Minds.
great video. this monk shared something profound in the last 15 minutes. so many of us black folk do not know ourselves, but we put energy and time into believing in things way beyond our understanding. then time passes and we still have not solved the issues directly related to knowledge of self and how we got here. interesting, this monk sounds alot like malcolm x.
He should have developed the African thought than buying into Eastern thought which is different though similar in some ways.
@@justinamusyoka4986 i think he probably thought about that, along with other highly intelligent african people. what's interesting is that the development of buddhist ideals occurred under very similar pagan-social circumstances that this monk came from, even though he admits he was catholic.
in agreement with you, i too believe that we could have a situation where some african uses the information developed by milenia of native african beliefs and religious systems to create a unique spritual system associated with native african history. the same way buddhism is directly associated with native indian history and native pagan-indian religious systems. that is something this monk could probably do. but i do admit that it would look very similar to buddhism because of such similar historic & rich pagan experiences between subcontinental india and continental africa. this monk probably thought about all this already and settled with being a buddhist.
@@jondo3817 Dr Kihura Nkuba comes from Uganda and I'm very sure he would take this monk as a big joker because he's copying a people who are very much recent on this planet.
The Black race were the original people found in every continent,this other people copied and modified our way of life.
@@justinamusyoka4986 i agree that both hinduism and buddhism are copies of more ancient pagan themes. i also agree that, and i also hinted at it in my above comments, that this monk is just "settling" for something that is basically a copy of what is already apart of his own historic experience. on a different note, i would say that indians are also black. right ? obviously, not black african, but black melanated nonetheless.
@@jondo3817 True I agree and thank you so much for this conversation.Shalom.
Great video Goblack. Full of vital information.🙏
Buddhism teaches everyone around the world to be free from suffering. Train your mind to be good. When your mind is good and calm, there will be no problems or wars like today.
I am not of the buddist mindset BUT, I would often listen to a monk share enlightening ideology that really encouraged me in my spiritual journey and life .....this particular monk shared "if you give me a gift and I refuse it then, who does it belong to?....the same applies if you render hatred, jealous, strife and all other negative behaviors....and, I refuse that...to whom does it belong to?" ...You see it was never yours to have or own as you can reject the foolishness and move on with your life it has to go back somewhere....for its (The Law of Reciprocity) it returns back to where it came twice fold ....blessings people!
You misunderstood. There is no gift. Only the concepts that we create. It doesn't belong anywhere or to anyone.
Uganda has everything.😳
Prayers for Ian and you brother for doing good work out there
❤❤❤Namo Threeratnaya(Buddha,Dhamma,Sangha)❤❤❤.Sadhu,Sadhu,Sadhu.
Belief is an amazing thing!
Exactly. As of yesterday I now believe that “belief” is more powerful than faith like in speaking things into existence
@@YariSoul3604 Are individual beliefs/belief systems are the most powerful thing that we possess.
Buddha didn't teach you to believe. He teaches you the path to find the ultimate truth by yourself. Sorry, my explain may not correct. I'm not an expert and my English isn't good.
Buddha is the one who came over all kinds of suffering and who understood every secret in the Universe. Who first showed the path to Nirvana for human beings! Compassion for all living beings is the path he taught.
Namo Buddhaya. ❤❤❤
Thank you, I love the content you are putting out.
Loved this!!
The children look so pure.
I really enjoyed the Q & A
I am so glad that I know the most high YAH ; who is in Christ Jesus / Yahshua Hamashiach , the way, the truth and the life.
No turning back !
Halleluyah Kumbayah.
No ma'am.
this monk did not mention Jesus anywhere, stop hallucinating
That was peaceful. It helped me connect a lot more with myself.Thank you brother.
I've never imagined in my life that an African person would be ☸️ buddist
Me neither
We copy right ,left,East and North but we should stick to our own spirituality which all those pinks copied.
There is nothing absolute about concept of our identity as African, Universal doesn't see us as concept or race but a divine energy express in different forms... We must see our selves way beyond our skin color and geographical location.. Humans are paralle species.
Wonderful interview.
Interesting conversation! He's got so many things to share with others!
He was right, we all choose our own paths. I'm "woke" through Christ Jesus.
The original statues of Buddha found in Asia(India,Thailand,China,Japan,Cambodia ect,) built 1,000 of yrs ago had KINKY HAIR because Asians used to worship Black people..
🤣 Those are Snails _(108 Snails)...._ China, Japan and other Asians countries each have their own religions.... Daoism, Confucianism, Shinto, Tengri and many more are their main religions.... If you ever watch Anime, you are actually watching Japanese Religious mythology and characters.
BTW.... *The oldest Monotheism and Messianism religion in the world actually worships **_MAZDA._*
I'm Nepali Buddhist Namo Buddhaye ☸️🙏🙏🙏
Nice to heard you.
This is the very last thing I would've expected to see. Wow. GB2A is just...Wow. Remember, Buddhism is the only major religion that's spread without the use of violence and/or repression. I've been to a lot of Shinto Temples, and even Shinto was weaponized. Like, share and subscribe. Amazing work, amazing interview.
Finally peace restored in Africa
once you conquer your mind you are a buddha
I hope that what the Buddhist monk was saying is clear.
We become the Masters of our reality when we accept this hard truth: Our experiences are all the children of our own consciousness. What we have experienced we gave birth too. If there is something wrong with the womb of our consciousness, and for most of us there is something wrong; we have to do the internal work of healing that.
Haven't you ever noticed that the Whites look like phantoms/ghosts, while Blacks look like shadows? That is because while you are real to yourself, you are a shadow my consciousness is projecting. While I am real to myself, I am a phantom you are projecting. The change has to come from within, which, it seems to me, you already know.
As for victim shaming: Compassion comes in not because the person is a victim of someone else, but because they are the victims of their own uncontrolled consciousness which beats them up in the forms of phantoms and shadows they project without knowing they're doing it. Compassion, real Compassion, is helping people understand how the mind works and get it under control so that they don't hallucinate their own worst enemies.
When you asked the monk if he believes in a God who created the world, he evaded your question because he knows that anyone who talks about God in the third Person needs to get their consciousness under control.
By the way: The Hebrew word for wombs is the same as the Hebrew word for compassion. The way to fix the womb of your consciousness is to intentionally increase your compassion.
Clearly and accurate well stated expansion.
Thank you.
I agree it is learning of the self along with compassion for the self that helps us to inner/over/understand our connections with our own self and the Nature itself.
I'm Nepali Buddhist sadhu sadhu sadhu☸️🙏🙏🙏😇
Great video💯
There is a HareKrishna temple by SamSam junction near the Kumasi/Accra road in Ghana....FYI
Once you get to know about how mind works through the Buddha's teachings, you find the forever happiness in you by yourself.
May you all get to know the cause of suffering and free from suffering 🙏
Well said
I like what you said goblack. The More you are expose to things the more you have to cleanse. But me personally to my knowing . food play a big role in purifiering the mine. Blessed love.
The low-key spiritual side or element to food

😂 whatvis African spirituality? Nothing comes out of Africa. Their language and culture was given to them by outsiders
I'm a Sufi Muslim and respect all faiths. It is interesting that we Africans follow so may different types of religion yet we'll be hard pressed to find any Africans following African tradition.
Because we are suppress into believing that which we had beforehand is cult because it was demonized by the colonization.
Maybe you should start and stop following an Arabian religion! Those Arabs did nothing good for your ancestors.

So true 👍
Love your work brother.
About food ,I want a little bit to share
Buddha said don’t have food that get kill specially for us(monk) food we have, we mustn’t know that get kill for us by didn’t see,heard or thought that they kill(slaughter) for give to us.
And the drinks (food too) that cause to lower consciousness as alcohol,drugs,etc.
Because core of Buddha’s teaching is consciousness in every moment and actions that by full control not driven by emotion ,attraction or desire.
We shouldn't be surprised to see Buddhist temples in Africa or elsewhere. The Dhamma is a universal truth. I think it's important that as the Dhamma moves west, that the traditional practices are brought with it. I believe that in this way, people can get a taste of how the Buddha taught and not some diluted version that may miss some of the important principles. Great respect to the African Sangha.🙏🙏🙏
I am a Buddhist practitioner. Excited to learn there are Buddhist in Ghana - will definitely need to visit when I travel to Ghana. Thank you for the interview.
This is Uganda not Ghana, yeah the names sound similar.
I understand Buddhism had a Jesus who died in Kashmir, What happened?
How many of us know Buddhism was first practiced in Africa? If you go to dominantly budhist countries, many of their ancient shrines are full of black buddha.
When you start a journey, there are many options that you can take to get to your final destination.
There are many pathways to the Creator.
And depending upon the individual, some spiritual pathways are a better fit with one's life experiences and needs compared to others.
Truly it is a personal matter imo.
Exactly right 👍
i think you missed the monk's point. reaching a "creator" is meaningless when you do not know yourself. why? because the issues we have to solve on earth can only be solved by us who live on earth. trying to connect to a "creator" is a way to escape from problem solving and escape from knowing and addressing one's self and one's own history.
in addition, any "creator" is not some friend that's gonna bail you out with a miracle when your decision making is poor. not to mention, there are many americans whose belief in a "creator" did not stop them from ending up in jail or prison.
Try convincing adherents of Abrahamic religions. Good luck
@@jondo3817
I didn't miss his point. You missed mine.
My point was that only an individual can be comfortable in their own skin...... for their chosen spiritual journey or enlightenment.
You're focusing too much on the semantics of the word "Creator".
Since it seems to be bothering you, focus on the part where I said "final destination" in your spiritual journey.
Better?
Buddhism, no matter how much you preach to the choir may or may not be the best fit for an individual's spiritual nourishment. Again, It's a personal matter. That's all. 🤷🏾♀️
Even if one choses to be an athiest.
Even an athiest can have transformational experiences without necessarily having an organized belief system of anything in particular.
The problem is when we all feel the need to police other people's spiritual decisions or lack thereof.
Therein lies the problem.

Truth
Now go interview Bhante Buddharakhita, my teacher, like he said.
I wish Africans would "know themselves" before converting to foreign invasive beliefs.
When you say Africans you are "generalizing" it's 1.3B people on the continent.
Too late. Islam and Christianity have for many centuries already destroyed traditional African beliefs and spirituality.
Breaking away from 'European Imperialistic' religion, is most difficult for blacks to do.
At least questioning the indoctrination, and breaking the chains of this 'Psychological
mental enslavement' to accept another philosophy, which is based on 'Knowing SELF'
is a great step forward. Christendom is fundamentally based on 'European / white superiority'! 😢😞
Buddha/Sambo isn't foreign though, we've been migrating back and forth. Africa is West Asia and there wasn't a borderline stopping Afroasiatics from going back and forth at different periods 💚👣✌🏽
