The Difference Between A Bodhisattva And A Normal Person

- The true Bodhisattva has cultivated their minds to such a degree that they have realised the nature of reality.
But the Bodhisattva’s heroic attainment does not finish there.
Their achievement of a profound understanding of the nature of reality merely lays the ground for what is the most heroic and most important of the Bodhisattva’s accomplishments …
That is the awakening of a deep, enduring, and profoundly encompassing compassion.
Now to truly begin to understand the heroic attainment of the Bodhisattva we need to explore exactly what it is they have accomplished.
There are an enormous number of schools and teachings in Tibetan Buddhism.
Thus, there are many, many different opinions and teachings on how to best cultivate the mind to achieve the ultimate goal of Tibetan Buddhism.
However, of the goal itself, there is no argument.
The goal of cultivating the mind in Tibetan Buddhism is:
The radical insight into the nature of self and reality.

“If ye realize the Emptiness of All Things, Compassion will raise within your heart;
If ye lose all differentiation between yourselves and others, fit to serve others ye will be;
And when in serving others ye shall win success, then shall ye meet with me;
And finding me, ye shall attain to Buddhahood.” - Milarepa, Songs of Milarepa
"Meet with me"? Meet whom? Buddha?
What do you mean by emptiness? What do you mean by saying things are empty? What are your arguments to prove your proposition?
@@himanshukhichar4185 Emptiness, or sunyata, is a central doctrine in all schools of Buddhism. If you'd like to have your questions answered, I think it would be best to pick up a few books on Buddhism or to consult Wikipedia :)
The concept is far too complex to possibly receive a satisfying answer in the meagre comment section of CZcams. Have a good day!
I do it out of true love and love for the Budhas trues! ....how to help others before one acumplish the liberation told and praise by Budha sutas on the 5 Nikayas(the 5 Nikayas are the only teatchings original from Budha aand he talk only and all the time about liberation just like he did for him self did. Budha let for us the recipe for full enligtment, and some selfishones that thinking that thay are extra smart monks, knowing bether than Budha him self,lazy, career monks, thay corrupt it and dont bow to Budha in they on hearts)= Compassion is part of it, the goal is liberation, no liberation no true compassion,or compassion from miserable compassionate one, may be! please be compassionate to me and forguive me for telling you the heart or core of Budhas tetchings. Never i heard of true enlighted Mahaianas monks , but Theravada Bush monks are plenty of true ones!(Kudaka Nikaya i consider only the first 6 boks as Budhas words)
@@thesoundsofonehandclapping
Buddhism is full of contradictions! I find Buddhism to be the other side of Nihilism where buddhism constantly teaches about emptiness but fails to describe it without using language. Once you bring metaphysics into it buddhism completely falls apart instantly
Meditation should be mandated in schools with great emphasis. Imagine how it will affect a nation in long term where children practice meditation from their early ages. Depression, bullying, toxicity and crime rate will radically drop as we know conflict within one self is one of the fundamental origins of criminal mentality.
School is to create an obedient work force, not a well rounded, informed human.
@@Unkn0wn1133 Definitely. But still if anyone really critically assimilates all the contents he is taught in school he would be harder to control. But to see beyond current perspective requires extraordinary people.
Schools are meant to produce an obedient workforce, not to promote promote thinking and choosing for oneself. It's got to come from the parents
@@Unkn0wn1133 That is what we thought but no not exactly...look clearly
It would destroy capitalism so it won't happen
Asangoham,
My hats off to you sir. I stumbled on your channel a while ago, and ever since I have been absolutely astounded by the quality of your videos. The information you provide is clear, concise and correct. Most of all I am impressed with the fact that you include so many different angles whenever you discuss a topic, comparing things with various traditions such as the comparison to Western philosophy in this video. Not to mention that you were so alert to include a largely unrecognised female genius when you were discussing intellectual heroes.
You're a man to my heart! We both seem to share a deep interest in philosophy and comparative religion, I bow to you from the Netherlands. Thank you for doing all this work, videos like these truly pave the way to a more peaceful, happier tomorrow. I wish everyone on earth would come to terms with each other and worship the ultimate nature of reality in its infinite manifestations. Your channel helps to do just that. Have a great day :)
PS: If there's any way I could do a small one-time donation, please let me know. I'd be very happy to.
Thank you! We appreciate you for having the heart to think of donating. As of now, the CZcams ad revenue is sufficient for us, but if you want to donate, kindly do so at your local orphanage or any other place that needs it more than us.
We must do everything we can to minimize collective suffering. 🙏
Within that emptiness or nothingness, you will find absolute fulfillment of everything you have ever wanted. Kind of the strangest oxymoron in the Universe. But the deeper one can meditate and more one can shave away those ideas that are super imposed on the mind, the clearer this becomes and the more one wants that which can only be found, once you remove everything you think you are or have
त्वमेवहं - You are the one I am
अहं ब्रह्मस्मि - I am the Brahman
Om namo narayanaya nama 🙏🏻
Thank you for this, from the depth of me, thank you.
Last night, I dreamed a woman telling me that I have a calling. Specifically it involved bringing flowers to the cemetery where I live like I had promised when I moved to this new neighborhood about a month ago, because the living are not the only ones who need blessings and guidance from suffering, they deceased do too, especially as they transition. But I woke up feeling different and then I stumbled on this video....
This video reminds me of the beginning of my journey when I awakened to physically see suffering in people, it is like a strong invisible glow, and hard to explain. It happened when I was trying to heal myself that I simultaneously awakened to a love and to be a witness to the suffering of others. For years now, I absorb their suffering, from strangers, from loved ones, animals, and plants, ones who have passed; sometimes it's a lot and because I do not take anything in exchange, pursuing only my grad degree in education to work as a teacher, all this clarity feels confusing at times.
But this video, because I cannot tangibly reach out to anyone who understands, who can respond with actual human conversation, was a reminder of the Bodhisattva vows that I found early on in my journey. I was not initiated by any monk or guru, but I just placed those vows in my heart. And even the Tibetan and mention of Vajrayana Buddhism, is a nod to my next step to study the Tibetan language as someone who works to preserve endangered languages.
So yes, thank you for these affirmations, I am so glad you guide me through these channels, continue to guide me through other ones as well ;)
❤🙏🏼Om Mani Padme Hum 🙏🏼❤
For as long as space remains
For as longs as sentient beings remain
Until then may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the World
That’s a beautiful sentiment and thought. Am I wrong to say also scary? I realize that just means I have a ways to go in the way of peace inside myself.
What do you think?
Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful channel. It's scarce to find both high quality video, and high quality teachings. I am very grateful 🙏 I once heard Bodhisattva described as having one foot in the divine, but instead of taking the other step they come back to help other souls also find there ways to the devine. They come back knowing that they will experience all of the Earhly imperfections, and suffering but they have so much compassion for their fellow humans that they just can't help but stay and help others. They really are true heroes, and they go through life without most people realizing that they are the very best types of heroes.
I love how one of the teachers gave praise to Alan Watts for truly being a Bodhisattva. I thought that was really cool when you guys brought that up .
I'm always so pleased to find a new video of yours. Thank you very much for sharing
Excellent! Wonderful! Amazing! Thank you and bless you beloved! 💖🙏💐
Suffering comes from over identifying with pain not the continuum of consciousness. Happiness is those who perceive perception , not nothing , but something, to perceive creation as it happens and be happy. Zen .
Thank you for creating this video. I had a discussion with a friend just yesterday to explain that I “know nothing” and she didn’t understand what I meant by it when we were discussing about life, knowledge, and more, even though I am a constant observer and learner of life like a “human google” but if I said I knew everything, that I would assert ego which is not who I am living and being in samadhi aka self-realization (in Hinduism) or concentration (in Buddhism) for quite some time. After completing my second sitting In Vipassana two days ago, this hits home. I shared this with my friend. 🙏❤️💯🕉️☯️☮️💟
I just wanted to comment and say thank you for sharing this information. I appreciate it greatly because I’ve been trying to practice Buddhism in the last 3 years and this helps me become a better more grounded person. Thank you for letting me share
Thank you dear friend. Great reminder.
Really beautiful video Teaching
This is lovely; thank you for your offering. I feel it's important to point out something though ... the concept of a Bodhisattva is found throughout Mahayana Buddhism, not just in Tibetan Buddhism.
thank you guruji 😊
your video are so deep deep deep knowledge.
thank you again 💗🙌👍
You should've used the word Jeevanmukta as well, the translation of Bodhisatva in Sanskrit Hinduism. There are millions of Jeevanmuktas in Hinduism.
Jao yaha se 🤬🤬 Gyan mat do
Wonderful 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've always been helping others all me life and I always will. People take that for granted and use you but I still help. Evil people you have to learn to just keep away .
Dont stay stuck as the camel, try to move on to the lion, then hopefully the child.
I’m gonna bring harm to people to cancel out the good your doing

high quality content... enough said
what a great explanation explaining thatin silence there is 100 percent chance a sound is heard

True Self is without form
The key ingredient that was left out of this beautiful video was that of awareness....
In emptiness one realizes the fullness of awareness, and from this awareness in turn arises the great compassion.
All three go together.
Awareness
Emptiness
Awareness
Compassion
Awareness is the connecting bridge between the question of how one goes from emptiness to compassion.
Though in reality, they are all three- One.
Realization shows this truth to the bodhisattva. 🕉
This is a BEAUTIFUL comment 💛🙏🏼
Who sings the Tara mantra that's in your videos? It's so beautiful. Thank you!
It's an original composition and the artist is called Drsyaa. :)
@@Asangoham Is there anywhere I can listen to it?
Yes, please post where one could listen. 😊
We will post it as a standalone piece in the future, stay tuned!

Awesome Life Changing Topics....Many Of Your Topics Solves Very Important Problems of Humankind.Thank You☘️.Stay Blessed Always 🌺.
The world exists, Amazon is burning, stand up , you got legs to stand ! Not to sit .
I thought Bodhisattavas are just some great known individuals who have achieved enlightenment in Mahayana Sect Buddhism..But thats not all, they are more than that ..like Avalokitesvara they are so well known and even the guardian devas have contact with them...That make me feels like them a buddha ..Even Bodhi Dharma himself says he is a buddha...🤔I am depending on their life and teachings rather than what is just known..so it might be..
I don’t think empty and full are used in a opposite terms in Buddhism. Emptiness just means things on a technical level things are without inherent form but rather dependent origination gives them form
The compassion of the Bhodisattvas conviction not to gain God Consciousness until all have attained that is transmuted to Divine Knowledge when he naturally realizes that The Grand Procession of Creation, Whos aim is to love God and Goal to become God, is perfectly orchestrated and it is now time for Him to move on to the God Beyond and then The God Beyond Beyond State.

Everything is Theory unless you experience it yourself.........Me
Complex way of teaching , would be good with easier teaching
I'm fully baked. Lol

Emptiness = Fullness , sorry you are Wrong, Emptiness means Empty of ness, whatever it is fullNess or even EmptyNess itself
Something about this video alludes to the use of certain substances. Not judging, just saying.
Miss-taking the finger for the moon with this materialism..
Buddha did not teach that there is no Self. Neither did he teach that there is an eternal and separate Self. The Emptiness teaching is easily misunderstood. If you grasp the snake by the wrong end you are bound to be bitten.
Buddha in Lankavatara Sutra states, “Things are not what they seem… Deeds exist, but no doer can be found” Buddha taught no self. Three turnings of the dharma buddha didn’t teach all his disciples deeper truths until they were grounded in the more simple ones. If you grab the snake from the wrong end you are bound to be bitten.
@@bigmoneymoose4644 yes and also when questioned whether there is no self the Buddha replies, "That is not what I have taught." "Then there is a self?" Again, "That is not what ai have taught." Buddha was very emphatic about skillful means in knowing when and how to deliver which teaching to which student, so as not to confuse or disturb them. The Buddha's teaching is really practical and directly about ending suffering, all these developments of Nagarjuna, Mahayana and Vajrayana are extensions from his teaching. Very beautiful paths, though derivative, and not exactly the focus of Buddha himself. The parable of the arrow. If a person is struck by an arrow they need treatment, not lengthy discourse on the subtle nature of arrows.
Anatman/Sunyata is a very subtle teaching. I cant say that I am fully living in it. But I have found that getting too stuck on "it is this way," or "it is that way," will usually keep me from the deep peace which is being pointed to, in the middle path between all extremes.
Be well!
If you are right, then we are both wrong.
@@bigmoneymoose4644 somethin like that
Modern eastern society is as materialistic as the west.
Ancient Western philosophy took eastern philosophy further. Realizing what the East realized, the West accepted their material body. Learning to master the material universe.
Call it an illusion, but it is real to us. We can learn how to create with in this reality.
That is the Path of Christ. Not to reduce to nothingness where we came from. But to rise to his Father the Creator with in the nothingness
"Modern eastern society is as materialistic as the west." Thats due to the infiltration of capitalism. First it infected the west and now the east. Both are victims. Infact it's our primal nature to satisfy desires. But what the east teaches is to transcend them. To transcend and train the mind to see the illusory nature of the world while being in the world.
That doesn't mean to escape the matrix and go to a mountain. Infact, ancient eastern philosophy encourages us to be in the world and work for the betterment of others. But before that, to work on oneself. There are many ways to it.
The “nothingness”, out of which all things emerge.
Zen is better, it's not escape from samsara but non action. No where to go, without attainment, liberated from attachment ego wanting .
It does not deny the world, saying it is illusion, but rather, embraces the world, with happiness.
@HoboGardenerBen humans assume they know reality yet we define it conceptually.
We share reality with cows, among others, none of which are aware of these concepts supposed existence.
Who's to say what reality is, atleast conceptually, when it denies the realities of God's creatures that do not need conceptual distinction to live and exist?
nothingness is not emptiness
Asagoham. Your wrong it doesn't mean nothingness.
Lmao
But you are like a vacuum how can you be empty forever?
Похоже на яйцо
Jesus is Lord!
Cleary, studying philosophy,science, mathematics is more satisfying than all this spiritual nonsense. Aristotle understood about the nature of reality more than Buddha and all those people called Bodhisattva in Buddhist tradition. You can't just understand about the nature of reality by sitting under a tree and closing your eyes.
Clearly, that's your limited biased opinion. And most people who watch such videos don't feel that way.
Well me friend, I've been studying philosophy for the past 6 years ( not as a student but more because I'm passionate )
I discovered Zen 2 years ago and I practiced and studied it because as a philosophy fanboy I was simply curious about it.
Then I discovered Tibetan Buddhism more recently and there's one thing astonishing.
It completes so well what philosophers have said in the past. Even better, it talks about stuff that we ( today ) put in quantum physics.
So I'm not sure that Boddhisatvas did understand nothing. Tho, though my studies ( cause I'm passionate and just curious about it ), I can tell they have found some fundamental stuff that are quite amazing.
Oh and one thing sir to be sure you don't misunderstand Who is the one you said not to be able to sit under a tree meditate and discover anything...
He first was a prince of India who got the best teachers the king could find him, he was quite talented at anything he'd do whatever the subject ( he even was trained for war, which is fun in a way knowing how his preaching went way after ).
Then he studied with all Yogis he crossed path with being more talented than any of them since he's always been talented as *uck 😂, practiced extreme asceticism such as eating only one grain of rice for a year ( I may say something wrong, I think it was 3 years ) and after all that, decided he'd either die under the tree or find the truth.
That is how dedicated this man was to understand how things and reality works to help all beings to get out of suffering.
I personally don't think any philosopher of any time, have been as much dedicated as Siddartha Gautama ( the Bouddha ) was.
And with all the respect I have for every philosophers I've read, I can say they've all done tremendously well compared to the majority of the people of their time and helped humanity a whole big lot.
But what Buddha did, surely is so much more than they did.
Now Imma watch the bideo to find out what made you so mad in what they said 😂
Well, I now understand why you made such comment.
If I were to be a person discovering bouddhism with such kind of video, I'd just think Bouddhism is just non-sense.
_First point, the author of the video has still a long way to go to understand what he's talking about in the video ( he has understood a part, which is great, but from the way he tells the tale, it's still one part, which is great ).
_Second point, for a newcomer, that is way too much. Words that would need books to be understood are just thrown like that. This is clearly a video that only someone who as already been studying would be interested into watching.
_Last and third point, explanations are a bit chaotic even for the one who study and practice 😂
So please, if you may reconsider your view about buddhism and find out by yourself if this is a philosophy ( not a religion, it has never been one ) worth your time.
To be completely honest with you, teaching bouddhism can only be done by lamas which would be equivalent to say : to be taught philosophy or quantum physics, the teacher must be certified and be a fully accomplished student even before engaging into the path that would give the authorization to teach.
That was all for me, thanks for reading ( if you did :3 / if not, that was still a pleasant conversation to have with myself hell yeah 😂😂😂 )
Himanshu Khichar, a limited mindset who has shutted his mind in his self made comfort zone and doesn't want to believe in the fact that there can be something outside his knowledge and experiences. The world doesn't revolve around your mortal opinions Himanshu. Truth hurts.
If you want to change the external world, science is the way to go. If you want to change the internal world and find peace, which is not something changing the external world can ever give you, Buddhism is THE way. One questions what the meaning of life should be. Is it to build bigger and better skyscrapers to raise people into the sky while their internal state plummets into suicidal depression? Suicide rate is rising 4% year over year.
