Interview with a Living Buddha (活佛) Spiritual Leader at Tashi Lhunpo Monastery

- In this video I interview Kyungpo Ngagwang Jampa Gyaltsen (ངག་དབང་། - 琼布活佛). He is considered a Living Buddha (活佛) and was one of the 3 children in the running to become the Panchen Lama. I sat down with him in the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery.
Note, there was quite a vibrant debate on my Twitter account regarding the use of the word "Living Buddha". While this is the literal translation of the word that has been used for hundreds of years, this word doesn't seem to make as much sense in English to many. Kyungpo was identified as the second reincarnation of Kyungpo Rinpoche of Tashi Gephel monastery in Zhad Thongmon County in Shigatse. - Zábava
May I humbly suggest that it might be best to not use the "Living Buddha" title. Rinpoche ("Precious") is much less-apt to be misunderstood as a description of this High Lama. It would be more accurate, in Buddhist terminology, to refer to him as a "Bodhisattva" (a reincarnated, compassionate higher being). Although he has not yet attained complete Buddhahood, he is on the "Bhumis" (the 10 very high, incremental levels that lead to Buddhahood). It's impossible for "ordinary beings" (like us) to even conceive of his spiritual state, but the important thing is that he is here, voluntarily, to benefit sentient beings, and will continue doing that in all of his future lives.
Thank you Mr. Dumbrill, for kindly posting this beneficial video.
Exactly🙏
Yeah
A Tulku isn’t necessarily a “living Buddha “. Could be , who knows ... I had learned that there were many levels of Tulku
Yes, thank you for your correction. It's important that people don't get the wrong idea!
Hi Brad, good point. May I point out "Living Buddha" is exactly the best translation because only in Tibetan Buddhism all sorts of "the precious" can reincarnate into young boys. I would say this translation perfectly reflects the very nature of this institution. In addition, 活佛 has been a term used since Ming dynasty, according to Emperor Qianlong (乾隆) in his article "The Discourse of Lama" (喇嘛说).
@@fighterman8808 That's exactly my understanding, Kenan. All lamas and even Western, "ordinary" practitioners take the Bodhisattva Vow. In this vow they pledge to NOT attain "full Buddhahood until they have helped every other sentient being to do so first". Those that have realized Buddhahood, like Gautama, the Shakyamuni Buddha, no longer take a "Nirmankaya" (bodily) form. This is because fully enlightened Buddhas have extinguished ALL Karma, which is necessary for the production of a physical Human body. On the way to Buddhahood, beings pass through 10 stages of development known as "Bhumis". Beings on these Bodhisattva levels are reducing their Karma more and more with each level they ascend into. By the time they reach the highest Bhumis, (like 9 and 10) their Karmic traces are so fine they are almost indistinguishable. You may remember that the Shakyamuni Buddha had a "headache: on the last day of his life. That, and the bad food (stomach ache) which caused his death (Parinirvana) were the very last Karmic payments he had. After that he was free of all Karmic debt generated through all of his previous incarnations, and became the fully enlightened Buddha. Now he resides in his Buddhafield within the Dharmakaya (a realm of complete Truth and Bliss). He, himself no longer takes bodily form, but works through infinite ways, using a Buddha's skillful means, to continue benefitting sentient beings throughout infinite time and space. That is my understanding. (I am a 30+ year student of the late Dzochen Master, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche (Jigdral Yeshe Dorje), and the late Chadral Rinpoche. H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche, who has already reincarnated in the form of Dudjom Yangsi Pema Shepa Rinpoche, and resides in Kathmandu, when he not traveling internationally, giving teachings and empowerments.
I watched the entire video without even realizing it was more than half an hour. It was that fascinating. Great job Daniel.
Hey. Daniel. I just want to say thank you be able to make those videos. That video is absolutely wonderful. I'm also a Tibetan from Amdo. Obviously, there are so many dark histories was going to, and as life goes on. We are going to realize, people are people. As social animals, we all just want to a happy and peaceful life. That's all. I came to the US as an international student. Meantime, I play baseball for college. It was really awesome for me to see those videos about my hometown. Anyway, just want to say thanks to you.
This channel deserves millions of views
i guess no western want to see it. Those guys only want to see what them wanted. I respect the effort but useless
It’s propaganda of CCP.
tsering dickey Sure. Yelling “CCP propaganda!” has become so political correct in the western world lead internet that you don’t even need any proof to say that.
@@YichiLiu3 every one can see how Chinese officials lie without any hesitation
10 om Yup. Just copy and paste my last comment and replace the “CCP propaganda” part with “CCP lies”.
十世班禅的领导小组组长在寻访圆寂了。后来找到十一世班禅灵童后，琼布是掣签的三个灵童之一。在掣签失败后，被大家认定为琼布活佛。很尊贵。地位也很高。
我想問一下.班禪和活佛是同一個人嗎？這點我有點不明白的.
@@fongkimchoong 其实所谓转世，不是随便上街上找一个小孩就定为班禅了。他们会有一个转世的小组，估计会找3个很小的孩子，然后带到寺庙里生活学习几年，观察一下各个孩子的秉性，最后从几个里边选一个最合适的当班禅/达赖，其他几个没被选上的孩子就封一个别的活佛当一当。有些活佛是班禅选剩下的灵童去当新的活佛，有些寺庙的活佛继承 是有一套自己的转世系统。
我一直以為西藏就一位活佛罷了.以前聽的是.當活佛圓寂的時候會指著一個方向.那個方向就是活佛轉世投胎的方向.現在我才知道還有那麼多的.
@@fongkimchoong 转世被说的多神秘，其实一切都是权利和利益。 比如三世达赖，那时西藏其他派系还很强。三世达赖就去找蒙古人的头头，说你帮我把其他派系的老家给端了，我许诺四世达赖就转世在你家里，其实就是一种利益交换。蒙古人把达赖的仇家灭了，四世达赖就是蒙古汗的曾孙，从此班禅达赖这个派系就在西藏独霸了。从一开始这就不是单纯的宗教，他们上位靠的就是勾结其他政治家军事家，那就别怪CPC干涉你所谓的“宗教”事务了。跟欧洲的教皇一样，教皇来自于哪个大家族是有很大关系的，这种东西一定是宗教政治经济结合的产物，割韭菜联合体罢了
@@kenso888 寻找转世的过程是利益交换。但是转世的目的就是财产，教派，地位等的传承。这个转世最牛逼的一点就是:我的地位，财产，没有大的意外，不会被剥夺。因为你传给弟子或者孩子，都会造成争权夺利，然后教派就衰弱了。萨迦，达隆嘎举，霸荣嘎举等都是在家族争斗中，衰弱或者消失。寻找转世灵童是一件非常耗费金钱和时间的事情。历史上很多小的活佛因为没钱被弟子寻找转世灵童，就断绝了。大的活佛财力雄厚，弟子众多，转世没有问题。现在拉卜楞寺的寺主活佛，六世嘉木样当年被寻找的时候，花了好像是两年零十个月左右才找到。第一次找到灵童两千多人，后来再寻找到八百多人。有经过层层仪轨，选拔。才选出现在的六世嘉木样活佛。
That was indeed "pretty special!" Always learning something from your experiences, thank you!😃
This video is the cherry on top of all shown so far. You have shown me countryside and people I will never be able to visit. Such a treat. Xie xie.
很谦逊的僧人，他把自己描绘成一个凡人，但是你却能感觉到他的佛性，这就是邪教和真正宗教的区别。
他不是凡人难道是神人？还是转世神人？宗教出现的根本还不是维护统治，利用了普通人希望达成的美好愿望而进行欺骗。你告诉我他们这些人不事生产，不创造收益，大部分的人靠什么生活？除了少数真正的僧人，大部分现在的僧人作为一种谋生的手段。如果不是宗教影响大，其实还不如一个拾荒老人。最起码靠自己的双手，劳动生活。
上杉レター ……你阅读能力真的是神级的
@@user-ko1tk2qd7w 他心中有业障
@@user-yu9ut6pb4s 你不信教 但应该尊重信教的人 你这样说别人信奉的活佛就是不尊重别人
真佛就是慈悲为怀.
Good job Daniel! Love your series of Tibet, great collaboration with CGTN!
This living Buddha is so kind, humble, wise, knowledgeable and honest, my best wishes to him. And thanks Daniel for your coverage of your footage to Xi Zang.
I cannot believe he is just 29. He behaves and talks like an old wisdom sage.
29 is pretty old. old enough to have acquired lots of life experiences
The living Buddhas working and study very hard their entire life.
I feel so sorry Dalai Lama left China. I honestly believe that was not his real will to leave and he is probably very regret of leaving his people behind.
Yes, because he lives such a good life that's why internet, TV good just like heaven isn't it? If he is a living buddha he should go down the street in Tibet and serve foods to millions poor Tibetan not let them serve him...
@@alantran1914 Who are you to judge? It is the choice of them of whether or not they want to serve him
@@tibetan.music.universe Hey, dude I am not judging I am simply speaking of the truth, and whoever want to serve him be my guess but I know it isn't going to be me!!!
Thank you Daniel and CGTN for another educational and informative video.
Another extraordinary Vlog! Thanks!👍
I'm amazed by his mandarin. He can talk so naturally, fluently and effortlessly. I thought he might be brought up in the mandarin language environment. It turned out he learnt it all by himself! And I really like the way he talks and his positive attitude towards his career and the world. Love and peace! 🙏
Lots of Buddhists speak good English too, we all study English though😁
Now in China’s most famous temples especially for Buddhist monks, you need at least finished an undergraduate degree to join them, because the scriptures are difficult to read and understand, many characters are rare and unfamiliar to common Chinese people’s language level. So Buddhists like him are really wise and knowledgeable people.
Why are you amazed a Chinese speaks Mandarin?
@@user-su6db6hr5l if you have watched the video, then you will know why he is amazed. because the living buddah didn't went to the regular school as the others, and he is living in an environment with tibetan language, but he was able to learn Mandarin by himself.
@@Alvin-Sy You're still not answering my question, forget about the story behind the video, ofc I watched it. A simple question why amazed by a Chinese speaks Mandarin?
Thanks for sharing this Daniel.
There is a positive vibe from the Living Buddha. There is this wise sage vibe about him that made everyone at ease.
I have seen this from people who walks the path of empathy and compassion.
This is an amazing interview👍
Such precious interview! Thank you! 🙌
FREE TIBET !! TIBET BELONGS TO TIBETANS NOT CCP CHINESE !!! THIS CZcams MUST BE PAID BY THE CCP CHINESE GOVERNMENT!!!... FREE TIBET !!
Very interesting video. The questions and the answers are most olluminating. Thank you.
Many thanks for such an amazing video and experience with a living Buddha. Blessings. 👏👏👏👍
you can feel the aura around him of calmness and warmness
Thanks for giving us that interesting view. I appreciate this break from your other types of videos. It's been so awesome to see tibet. I can't wait to travel there one day!
waoo I like the buildings there, so beautiful! and the living buddha is young and modern, honest. some living buddha try to keep mystery and distance, but he is very kind and open one. Lucky Daniel.
Thanks for the great interview, have learned a lot from it. You are lucky to be blessed by the 'living Buddha" and reveive a bracelet directly from him :)
Just one word “ wow” ... we are so fortunate to see and hear the living Buddha ..thanks Daniel, Jing Jing and CTGN
there are thousands of in tibet
@S Horley almost every temple has a living Buddha，some big temple have hundreds living Buddha, so
Thousands or hundreds but if you are of intelligence, wisdom, enlightenment and respected and defined by their people as a living Buddha, I say “wow” again and again .. your attempts of minimalism are futile
Tsamchoe 1 He is happy being incognito
Tsamchoe 1 Thats your opinion and he is not wearing Gucci shoes and hobnobbing with celebrities for sure
Humble living buddha and peaceful life in Tibet. I visited Tibet about ten years ago. That is the place you can witness the belief.
Awesome journey. Thank you for this video, it is really enlightening to know about this living buddha.
What a harmonic time. Hope people all over the world could respect and understand one another.
The Chinese say “Living Buddha” and it’s such a fantasy-filled adjective. The Tibetan word is “Rinpoche” རིན་པོ་ཆེ། which literally means “the precious one”. I’ve seen people call them “Reincarnated Master/Teacher” which seems appropriate. This particular Rinpoche for example, himself says that he hasn’t reached enlightenment, and therefore not a Buddha. I’m so impressed of him being so true to the teachings of the Buddha Dharma and not succumbing to temptations of people wishing to hear some magical description of Buddhism and the state of enlightenment. So, thank you Rinpoche. I wish the interviewers would’ve shared His name or title. They said “Chungpo” in the beginning as they were entering the monastery, but that just means “little brother” or name of an ordinary boy.
Fcku uuu china
@@tanujsharma8427 Yeah - fuck 'em for:
i. the emancipation of the majority (95%?) Tibetan folks who are now free to earn a living & not have to support their nobility
ii. improving the living conditions of the monks - running water, electricity, etc
iii. modernising the transport systems to improve travel & connectivity like the IoT to enable Wechat, etc
iv. the provision of academic study translated into Tibet so the locals can broaden their knowledge & skills in the comfort of their own language
v. fuck em for not allowing the locals to continue living in the stone age
@@spidermann1256 and at price? killing of hundred of thousnds and monks and desructon of over 6000 monasteries? it is better to live peacefully in a stone age then in modern era which foundations is laid by rivers of blood and tears. and for your infofrmation , before the occupation tibet was not a stone age. it was a paradise of kind peoples and thriving dharmas.
@@mrtenzin6713 Or so you claim. I've never been there, nor likely to but there's nothing in Daniel's presentation would suggest that the upheaval was as bad as hyped out to be. I'm just going by measurable data (facts) & they all point to a significant improvement in their living standards. I have no way to form a view on the Tibetan spiritual side.
This is also backed up by Chris Nebe:
czcams.com/video/Xsoc4-QnplY/video.html
czcams.com/video/l2TvRYPthPo/video.html
@@spidermann1256 people are still suffering in Tibet. More then 100 of Tibetans , specially monks has self immolated for Tibetans freedom. It's Chinese propaganda when they speak of good things they claim to have done and removing the history of the dark foundation they laid.
我个人认为…你们真的真的太幸运了！！！和活佛的交流…………
Wow you rock Daniel! Your video is getting more interesting every day!
Excellent video!!!! Very interesting indeed! Thank you for sharing!
I went to many temples in India (many many people). I would like to visit some in Tibet one of these days! It will be so nice to spend a month in a temple!
It's really cool that he uses social media, went to follow him on Weibo right away after watching this video
Woo, Daniel, this is a big surprise! Go go, meeting a living buddha in real life will be definitely something special, not just a meeting a person, but meeting will bring you fortune, healthy.....
Did you guys see how quick that monk folded the scarf? At 30 minutes in the video.
Woah yeah! I didn't notice that
您不提真没注意😂 太专业了
@@tenzinkungyal5726 you must have too much evil karma in your ears and eyes. That's why you cannot see the truth or the bright. Even Buddha cannot save you if you go too far in continuing this agenda.
Tenzin Kungyal why would he speak a language his guests don’t understand?
@@hw4361 well said
Daniel, 你收到的佛珠很珍贵的，很多人都是求不到。祝你好运。
The living Buddha should have more opportunities like this to share his views and spread good teaching to people .... Well done 👍
感谢您的视频，第一次这么近距离见到活佛 ：）
愿所有人都被祝福
Nice interview. It's really cool to see a 29 years old becoming an enlightened person.
Extraordinary interview and very interesting conclusions you and Jing Jing exposed at the end of the video.
I get to see the living Buddha too.
Thanks you for bringing the video to us.
Wow wow, really interesting your interview, and I love to that Lama because his previously incarnation was famous Lama in Tasha Lhunpo Monastery.
A wonderful interview! Thank you for sharing.
Some humble suggestion for the translation:
癡：ignorance (instead of illusion). Because of ordinary person's ignorance, they don't see the truth of reality, therefore, what they perceive is illusion.
苦：suffering (instead of pain). Pain is one type of feeling of sensation. Suffering in Buddhism refers to mental stress or discomfort. Does the Buddha have sensation? Yes, he does. Therefore, he can feel pain. But he is free of suffering.
空： emptiness (instead of sunyata). Not because "sunyata" is wrong, it is because "sunyata" is a word of Sanskrit, not well known by most English-spoken persons. Emptiness means that persons or things are lack of inherent existence. When you realize emptiness, you will see the truth of reality.
有愛心的人：compassionate persons (instead of loving persons). Compassionate means feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others. In Buddhism, love and compassion (慈悲) is a big topic. Love, in Buddhism it means the wish for others to be happy, while compassion means the wish to free others from their sufferings.
enlightenment: 開悟 （not 頓悟). 頓悟 is sudden enlightenment, opposite to gradual enlightenment (漸悟).
極樂：bliss (not Pure Land 淨土, although 極樂淨土 can be translated into Pure Land). Bliss means an extremely pleasurable, comfortable and joyous feeling, mainly experienced during deep meditation, or when you are enlightened.
度化：liberate and help others to be enlightened. (instead of take across); liberate sentient beings from sasara (the cycle of existence in three realms of suffering, 輪迴)
特異功能：special powers (instead of magic). Unlike magic that is performed by magicians, Buddhism practice can help persons to develop their potential mental powers. In Buddhism, quite often we talk about clairvoyance, including reading people's minds, knowing your or others's future or past life. But, as Jampa Gyaltsen mentioned, that is not supposed to be your focus in your journey of enlightenment. Why? Let's make an analogy here: if your destination is New York city, you don't want to be trapped by the street view of Buffalo city.
Finally, I rejoice your your opportunity of meeting with Jampa Gyaltsen. Wish you would learn more about Buddhism, so that you can ask more profound questions in your next meeting with him. May Buddha's teaching benefit you!
感谢👍👍👍
can't agree with you more, except for the translation of "空“， because emptiness can be somewhat misleading. people who don't know much about the concepts of Buddhism may think of this word as nothing existed, all is empty.
He is really a very nice and easy going "living Buddha " regardless what his superior status is
Bhuddha does mean to be statue and all..
It means awaken one..
Every human being got ability to do that.. Deep practice.. With deep knowledge..
very interesting. He is definitely wise man and deserve the title of living buddah. Buddha is not a person but state or level of mind purity/wisdom. Everyone can achieve buddhahood.
another impressive trip Daniel. cannot thank you enough.
15:00 His answer is so honest! Omg he is only one year older than me?
Wow great subs! Very accurate translations of some of the key points he made. Curious to know who’s providing the subs?
Amazing interview, the living Buddha is so nice and so knowledgeable . Dalai and Panchen are the most prominent Buddha, there are also other living Buddha. he was one of three candidate for Panchen.
You guys asked really good questions!!! Well done with the interview! BTW the background where you ended the video was so beautiful!! ☁☁⛅

FREE TIBET !!! TIBET BELONGS TO TIBETANS NOT CCP CHINESE !!!!! THIS ALL FAKE PAID BY THE CCP CHINESE GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA!!!! NO HUMAN RIGHTS IN TIBET !!! FREE TIBET ✊🏾✊🏾🐲🐉🐉🙏🏾📿
Wow, Daniel, thanks for asking those questions that I am always curious about! Regarding your questions on enlightenment, I am currently reading the book "Why Buddhism is True". Highly recommended! The author researched on Buddhism from a scientific and western angle and I, as an Asian, learned a lot from it!
Me: Man, wondering if it's worth keeping up with my Mandarin.
*Watches this video*
Me: Ok I'm gonna keep learning Mandarin.
@Hartono I'm going through HSK 2 material at the moment. Current goal is to ace level 3. Ideally I'd like to get to 4 but depends how I do in practice.
@@gottahavfaith07 fighting～if you get to 4，you can go to the college of china with schoolship, that's a really good chance!
wait what he is 29 years old??? Lut I'm 28 and I feel like a child most of the time. Yet he is so wise and mature...
Same.. I still feel as a kid d. 😂
@R WG I know that. They are different from us. They have spiritual knowledge and matured mind than normal people. They get specialized teachers to norture them. They are blessed one.
A fine video series on Tibet!
My interview would have went slightly different, starting off with the softball question, "Yeti. True or false!?"
Eventually ending up at, "In The White Palace there is a secret library with thousands upon thousands of ancient texts (still untranslated), and these ancient "books" were written more than twelve thousand years ago, and they contain the true origin story of mankind. True or False!?
Good thing Daniel was conducting the interview...
Wow! You all very lucky to meet living Buddha in Tibet.Hope too. I hope chance to meet him.
It's refreshing to see a spiritual leader living in a humble environment. This just makes them more credible. Oh, the place looks like a labyrinth.
he is such a wise guy. and he is such a proud Chinese
Off course proud Chinese he is made in China rinpoche
@@tenzinkungyal5726 Well, Tibet is part of China after all, so the Tibetans in Tibet are Chinese citizens by birth (it says so on their Resident Identity Card) and there's nothing wrong with being Chinese.
霍去病 hope that he will be able to learn more and also communicate more with the people and followers around the world so that we all can learn from him too.
Tibet is never part of China Chinese illegally occupied my motherland Tibet but we Tibetan will and always fight back.Watch out for karma China the spirt of god and goddesses will hunt you down soon.How can you say it Tibet is part of China when ours language we speak n write,face Structure,clothing we wear,religion we follow,way of living,National flag and on on is totally different than Chinese.
Tenzin Kungyal hahahaha how angry you are.go back to school and learn the history,whether you think xizang is China or not means nothing,so enjoy your selfsatifaction on Internet and your dream,poor guy
Your best episode ever. Wonderful conversation with the enlighten one. 阿彌陀佛！ thank you very much! 🙏
Very interesting, many thanks for sharing
20:20 or so, the translation is wrong. Daniel was asking about the core doctrines of Buddhism, but she translated as core requirement of Buddhism. There're some good video about the child Buddhas at school.
Enlightenment, 开悟。顿悟是开悟的一种。开悟有不同的程度，是智慧和慈悲增长的衡量。
Namo Amitabha Buddha!!! Daniel asked great questions!!!! SInce you got his wechat, I hope you will consult him more with how to cultivate and achieve non-duality!!!!
I know it's probably inappropriate but I have to say Kyungpo Lama is so lovely and so kind.
He is totally humble and very accommodating.
Lots of love and respect to him.
Wow, his mandarin is so good I don't even notice any accent. It's also great to know that they study everything in Tibetan! The local culture seems well preserved.
In Inner Mongolia, Chinese Mongolians also study their own language. It’s also written everywhere alongside mandarin. In Mongolia, they don’t write the Mongolian scripts anymore, instead replaced by Cyrillic script due to Russian influence. Chinese government really works hard to preserve our minority cultures, as we Chinese people are all very proud of them, yet always being smeared to be a party that goes around China committing culture genocide. It’s really unfair and insulting.
It's nice to see Chinese government putting emphasis on the development of every part of China equally. To see that Tibetan language is still used in education means the language is still not just alive but continues to be developed, which so is opposite to the perspective you get from the western media, where you're told that the Chinese government is shoving Mandarin down the throats of the minorities.
No what you think is wrong if it is so then why did they send Dalai lama to india who was there spiritual leader

Go to India if want to see the real deal....
Daniel we who usually live in low lands should never underestimate the effects of high altitude even being young and healthy.
In your first video of this series, Journey into Tibet, I gave you the medical instructions and the medicines that alpinists and andinists usually take before, during and after climbs. These precise instructions were given to me and my friends group by a neurologist and we always follow them whenever we go to high altitudes in the Andes mountains. The danger of suffering a cerebral edema should be avoided. It's no joke.
Most unfortunate your battery broke down...some skeptics will prefer to believe you put words in his mouth, well they can go check ouy the CGTN part of the interview.
But what an interesting audience. Seems a genuinely humble looking and approachable chap.
Was hoping maybe you could have asked something about how if anything religious practises has changed over the years that he has been on earth in Tibet, are people experiencing a renaissance in Tibetan Buddishm or is encroachment of modern life also slowly eroding spiritualism?
I guess you are now on his wechat so that won't be a problem to ask anytime...:D
It's a really hateful thing when westerners say "development and urbanization is ruining the traditional culture" in Tibet, Africa, South America etc. what they are really saying is "development is spoiling my instagramable safari" they rather the lives of people don't improve to give the tourists a "authentic experience". Selfishness meets patronization.
You’re absolutely right. I hate it so much when they say things like that, as if they care anything about other people’s cultures. They only like the romance of ancient cultures, never cared about people’s lives.
Full agree! The people saying in village and high mountains e.g. Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou are really had very difficult life in the past. The transportation difficulty, low natural resource. similarly for many people in middle east, latin america, Africa, they must be living in this life (so call "tradition, culture" in wester media) for ever? Culture is part of life, tradition is way of living. But it does not mean never changed. People are equal, they should have right to develop own economics and improve living conditions. Chinese people in Tibet or other provinces have new way to connect to other locations, electricity and clean water supply, they have more new technology and materials to build house, more tools to work and enjoy life. Why not? Many places also got high way, high speed train, internet, broadcasting and telecomminication coverage. That is good things for locals. Their tradition and life style will change a bit to adapt new living conditions. That is normal.
您说的太诚实了，看到一个德国人在中国搭便车的视频，就常说中国没有原始的自然，都是城市发展破坏！没有自然是他自己走的路线必须是城市才能到达目的地，中国那么大，山脉那么多，怎么会没原始自然生态的环境呢？
I was smiling when watching the entire video.
As so young age, he is already very wise and also very friendly. Respect him! Great video! So Daniel, you got wechat of living buddha! haha. The western media is still lying that China Gov destroying the local language. Your videos show me the real life in Tibet! thanks!
Thank you very much for the interview with the Living Buddha. The meaning of Buddha is a person who had achieved Bodhi, which means Wisdom, "Universal" Consciousness, Selflessness, Inner Peace etc in other words, Enlightenment (free from mental sufferings, emotional cravings etc). The Living Buddha from the very first interaction, even before he speak, radiates the peace, calm, positive humane feelings that immediately put one at ease and calm....seeing it that, even on your video, the positiveness can be felt from faraway land through modern technologies. It is really amazing and incredible that Siddhartha Gautama (through his own self observation, analysis, dedicated pursuit etc) discovered this more than 3,000 years ago...Wow, that's the ultimate demonstration of the power of the mind..if put to good use. Cheers.
Yes now, I could very clearly know your Vision and mission. If there is a living Buddha in the World, it is non other than Dalai Lama. Any how I wish you, Mr Daniel a lavish material success..
My goodness, that girl reporter kept asking questions like what you like to wear? What you like to eat? ...He has been so patient.
U mean u don't think the questions r not good? I do like her questions cause for us none Tibetan they r kinda mysterious. Good to learn what their normal life is
They could not record her serious questions. They say it at the end.
@@HJ-wg3nw exactly. Those are the questions I am curious about. I don't really care about his religion theories but I want to know the difference between us.

Love you,
Love what you are doing.

My favourite movie in the recent years is also path and soul! That was a great one!
The theme song by Pu Shu is also recommended!
such a beautiful & nice place👏👏👏
The Greatest men are the wisest, humblest, and the most compassionate. The living Buddha is the living example.
Thanks. I didn't know that they teach subjects in Tibetian. I was misguided by other medias.
Bilingual to multilingual education for ethnic minority peoples
Nice subtitles!
This is a very interesting interview with the Living Buddha. Very impressive. Can you possibility share and advise how to become the Living Buddha’s friend on WeChat? Thank you in advance for your response.
As a young spiritual leader, he is so wise yet so humble and practical
It seems that their life is very simple.
We can feel the natural purity from their life.
Are the walls made of a kind of adobe, or are they brick? Excellent documentary. I really appreciate your channel. You are doing a great service
he's so humble

thumbs up 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Very cool interview Daniel. Makes me want to go to Tibet and visit him. Did you have to give him a monetary donation to get access to him?
This Video deserves a big thumbup 👍
When I press the #IntoTibet2020 link, the CZcams prompt a channel "free tibet" seems just started just a few days ago and host by some Indian looking guy?😂
