- Full story: bit.ly/1qOXePW | New data shows that while Buddhism is losing practitioners around the world, it's growing in North America. Coming up, what is drawing Americans, and Hoosiers in particular, to the Buddhist faith.
As an Asian, it is painful to see the Dharma is in decline in the East. But as mentioned by Guru Rinpoche, the Dharma will be brought to the West.
we need it, the West is a mess
@Raggedy Man 4073 Sarva mangalam ... With warm hugs from the East... May you be well and happy...
Buddhism is not only one book like other religions of world it is made of thousands of books and thousands have lost and it is more then philosophy

What Buddhists Believe - Tri-Pitaka (or Tipitaka)
This bible is a lot of books
I found inner peace and tranquillity in Buddhism. Like finding your own true self instead of living with your false self at the present moment.
Heidi K. Peace comes from within and not without. God is within us so we have to seek our own salvation. As the same that we sow our own seeds inside us and so shall we reap. Depending on negative or positive seeds we sow which determines our own destiny.
We'll 🙏🙏🙏❤
And the shout Koreans are just doing the opposite
@@kashyap5849 yep
Is there any doubt that due to the voluntary nature of awareness, the appropriateness of a thing which is not awareness exists in terms of How It Compares TO *INVENTIONS*? Moooooom, is my religion Communist yet?
Buddha lives forever,he is the father of modern psychology.
Don't sell the Buddha so short, he is not the father of psychology.
Talio Divino no other man I HV found other than Buddha who can calm you down as he does ,he let's you understand yourself,all spirituality/religion is a psycholgy ppl just see the tip of the iceberg
Stop lurking videos looking for an excuse to promote your bullshit website, no one here cares about that Jesus crap. That is what your Protestant (I doubt you are Catholic or Orthodox) American Christianity is; it's crap that feeds off of people's fear and guilt. Piss off.
The Catholic and Orthodox Churches are the true legacy of European Christianity, they still have monks. You guys just throw away the monastic life and steal people's money.
As for the bible being the truth, you can't just quote scripture and use that as proof that it is true. Not when talking to a non-Christian at least.

I love Buddhists ❤️
@Heidi K. fool 🤣 Jesus said earth is flat
@Heidi K. the story of merciful father is written by humans not gods 😆🤣
hello hello you got 1 sub😂😂😂
Thank you 🧡
@hello hello: that means he doesn’t exist
Im a pure buddhist forever from srilanka😊😊☸️🇱🇰🇱🇰
i came to meditation and buddhist philosophy through anger management concerns. This has made all the difference.
@black bird - To practice Buddhism, you do meditation by the following method:
Sila (morality or right conduct) ==> samadhi (Concentration or Meditation) ==> prajna (insight or wisdom).
Meditation Is Hindu
@@Hola-hv6cx no sir meditation is not hindu origin.Budha born in 623 BEC
@@kumar-tj2xd Yoga/Meditation Itself Started During The Vedic Hindu Civilization...On That Time Buddhism Doesn't Even Exist
@@Hola-hv6cx would you provide me authentic source to prove your theory?
Tell me who established HINDU religion and it's time period??
Buddhism is shifting from east to the west, it's declining heavily in Korea and Japan.
freedom77 what is it? can you can give me some information about it?
freedom77 link?
Which is sad. Christianity is gaining popularity, and it's unfortunate.
Mahayana Buddhism may decrease in future but Hinayana (Theraveda) Buddhism may not decrease. Though both aim at final liberation ie. Nibbana but it differs in practicing...
So true
By the end of the twenty first century most blind faiths will disappear from the surface of the earth but Buddhism keeps on thriving. The reason is simple, Buddhism follows laws of nature which is acceptable for everyone. The beauty about it it is that you can even question the main belief system and search through your own experiences. The main motto of Buddhism is "Peace, Compassion and Harmony" and the main objective is "Live and let Live" and the main practice is "Sila (Precept or self discipline), Samadhi (Meditation) and Pragya (Ultimate knowledge or consciousness)".
Don't underestimate the humanity stupidity.
@@user-Void-Star I wouldn't even begin to estimate yours.
what about religion of peace ,one that erased Buddhism from India,Maldives and other southeast Asian countries.
@@2DAnimax - Yes ! Islam, so called the religion of peace, tried to obliterate Buddhism completely by destroying the world first University at Nalanda (India) and elsewhere but could not succeeded. Islam, the evil religion is fading away in contemporary world. You will find more Atheists in Muslim countries than any other place.
But buddhist prays to buddha and have various esoteric and metaphysical beliefs.
I love Buddhism and I have unshakeable faith In Buddhism
This really awesome. ..Buddhism is a Beautiful way of life
Proud to be Buddhist!!!
L0ve and Cares From Indonesia Buddhist!!!
at least these people do not force things like the muslims
+Heidi K. shut up you stupid
We only suggest you check it out and give it a try. 💜
Heidi K. time is changing and people now feel religion create hate but dharm or spritulity in english is the best way to unite people like sanathan hindu dharm,buddha dharma or sikh dharma.
george stachura - In fact, there is no conversion in Buddhism but you have to adopt it. You do not become Buddhist but you have to practice it.
Like the muslims AND christians
Where education penetrates Buddhism penetrates
Buddhism main aim is not to increase the headcount of the unwise people but to increase and to collect wise people or wise headcount...
Yep and you see must of people who follow Buddhism don't criticize on other religions which is one of the unique factor Buddhism.
I am proud of Being Buddhist. It makes make peaceful and calm. Sometimes i think, what happen if i live in middle east? Will I be happy??
Then i realize, My good kamma brings me to be born in better country..
No reincarnation and rebirth is not there in buddhism
Buddhism growing in world
Buddhism is the only teachings which withstands the test of time, and human progress in understanding the Nature of the universe both external and internal. The Lord Buddha's teaching has been and always will be the bright torch which opens up the veil of darkness.
May the teachings of Buddhism last forever.
Semoga semua makhluk berbahagia. 🙏
Buddhism isn't declining in East asia.. most Koreans japanese and Chinese still go to temple and wish for their family and their childrens good will.. most Asians actually following buddhism in usa.
Conservative Christian's never let it to increase alot.. as much as I know you all even don't know why east Asians are athiest.. because lord Buddha said you don't need to pray to me just follow moral values and be good with everyone... East Asians favour buddhism more than other religion so don't talk anything without some research
This video reminds me of what Mr.Arthur.C.Clarke once said.He predicted that the U.S would be the only country where Buddhism will be preserved in the future.
Inuri Hettiarachchi - why only USA ?
wrong my friend - only the end of the world can erase Buddhism from E Asia including China

Study original Buddha teaching ONLY
based Theravada moment
Buddha just taught the way he did not practiced it. Japan.
Buddhist now growing in europe.
It is because of deep amazing practice places like Gyobutsuji Zen Monastery in America :)
I love Japan
Buddhism is declining because it doesn't force any one to follow. You can come, look and follow or leave. It say if you feel it as your way go onit.
Check out Buddhist Churches of America & Soka Gokkai International - USA. These Buddhist groups have the largest number of participants within the United States and they have a long history within the country as well.
Sorry Soka Gakkai is not true buddishm at all. Japan
Love Buddha / Love Buddhists From Thai Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu !♥️♥️💜
I am Indian Budhhist! ☸
Buddhism means giving up all bad things and to gain all good deeds.🌼✨
Wrong. After years of suffering from Christian Colonism, Buddhism is growing back very fast in China, Viet Nam, and India but sharp shrinking in South Korea mainly because South Koreans look up to the USA, a richest and strongest Christian country, as their role model. It seems to grow in USA because of Asian Immigration, not by convertion.
There is not conversion in buddism..😄😄😄😄
South koreans are obsessed with west thats why Christianity is growing.India is still colonized by brahmins and muslims
Buddhism is not a religion, it’s a way of living.
Actually, its a religion, as well as a philosophy, and way of life.

- It depends how you define religion. The Buddhist philosophy is acceptable to everyone and you do not need to be a Buddhist to follow it.
Buddhism is a religion , philosophy or how the mind works. It depends on how you choose it. But it's actually a religion
@@sangelama5070 no it's not a religion and neither buddha ever established a religion but he just shown a path to the people on the basis of what he himself experienced through meditation.
His most famous words are "Appa dipo bhava" meaning Be your own light . Don't believe anyone's if it's not fit on your argument even if anyone is higher than you saying and trying to convince you or even if it's me . I think these three words enough to understand whole buddhisam although it's the biggest philosophy in the world .
So basically it was never a religion , people misinterpreted it as time passes .
Abject lies
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu,,, Namo Buddhay 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
Namo Buddhaya!☸️❤️🇱🇰
You understand the uncertainty of life in details and lot of teaching make sense...most importantly they are peaceful and can give up anything and everything when u practice as we have to leave everything and disappear someday...
It is the knowledge that the seeker finds.😹🐾🐾🐾🐾💕
Anyone that says they are more spiritual than religious, is just making excuses for their laziness in practice. They can get the hippie points by saying they are spiritual, but they don't actually have to do anything about it, so it justifies their egocentric behavior.
I was hoping I wasn't the only one noticing that. It really made no sense
@Lee Sims-Brooks It is. If it has a set of belief systems, its a religion. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Can't have your cake and eat it too
@Lee Sims-Brooks Ah, while everything you said may indeed be true, but still makes a point about it been a religion. It still has the things of what makes it a religion. A view of the afterlife, religious beliefs, rituals, faith, ect. We can cry "Religion is control" all day, but understand that true religion is not on control here. Even if religion "is" control, than those are not true practitioners of whatever religion. Oh, and contrary to popular belief, Buddhism does believe and worship the concept of Deity
"According to Buddhologist Richard Hayes, the early Buddhist Nikaya literature treats the question of the existence of a creator god "primarily from either an epistemological point of view or a moral point of view". In these texts the Buddha is portrayed not as a creator-denying atheist who claims to be able to prove such a God's nonexistence, but rather his focus is other teachers' claims that their teachings lead to the highest good.[4]
Citing the Devadaha Sutta (Majjhima Nikaya 101), Hayes states, "while the reader is left to conclude that it is attachment rather than God, actions in past lives, fate, type of birth or efforts in this life that is responsible for our experiences of sorrow, no systematic argument is given in an attempt to disprove the existence of God."[5]
The Pali Canon however also gives a different view. In the Nibbana Sutta of the Udana Nikaya, the Buddha says, "There is, monks, an unborn, unbecome, unmade, unfabricated. If there were not that unborn, unbecome, unmade, unfabricated, there would not be the case that escape from the born, become, made, fabricated would be discerned. But precisely because there is an unborn, unbecome unmade, unfabricated escape from the born, become, made, fabricated is discerned." Buddhism thus acknowledges an Ultimate that transcends the material world. This in Theravada is called Nibbana and in Mahayana it is called Sunyata and worshipped as Adi Buddha.[6]"
But take what you will and God bless
In the Buddhist, I believed the beginning and will be end when time is come. That is why you needs to life happily and to love all nature.
At least it's not Islam..

If someone ever wanted to know about tripitaka (pali canon)
Wooww..
Love it
The only religion that is that loves humanity peace harmony because there are many examples the maney kings fighting with others and brutally killing other people resorted to Buddhism and they became peace lover and this tyranny of fate the Buddhism become the prey of violence and massacre this is the real history of world king Ashoka decided not to fight any battle and not to conquer the world because of this religion I think the if the world has had resorted to this religion the sorrow are this world would have been eradicated. But the Buddhism is being misinterpreted from its original form people need high level of intelligence to understan this bad customs are being added in this religion to disturb the original form. Because once Buddhism was against Idol worship but today Buddas Idol has been worshipped.

I LOVE BHUDDHIST 🇱🇰 srilanka SRILANKA ....
@anuj meshram dont worry many of people in the world will turn into buddhism in next decade see how they turn ....yeah iam protecting buddhism in Srilanka donnt worry....❤❤👍👍👍
Namo buddhay
❤️❤️❤️
Just wondering...how can one project how many people will leave a religion by a certain date? Seems like a false premise to begin with.
Chili B - By the end of Twenty first century most blind faiths will disappear from the surface of earth.
@@dumbtom6831 . i like your name. Anyways, you cannot make a declaration like that will full certainty. You patently cannot. You may couch it with prefacing the statement with "I believe that...." or "current trends indicate that...." or "most experts predict.." but you or anyone else including myself cannot predict the future. You do realize that right? And BTW, I am one of the people that would guess that most religions in their current form will be gone, but they will cross pollinate and blend into something all together different. But you see, I have prefaced my statement to show that it clearly is a guess.
@@chilibonze - I accept you view. If you look at changes that took place from 19 century to 20 century and compare with 21 century, communications has been so world wide that everyone can question what is right and what is wrong and on basis of that my statement will become true.
Pew research shows wrong data always
Addressing the questions of suffering O don't believe other religions do.
সাধু সাধু সাধু
Wrong
Buddhism is definitely expected by experts to grow continually . Google it.
Just obseve with out identifying anything. When u see something dont identify. when u touch some thing dont identifying. like this with other sence. Just practise when ever ur free. . Then you will see there is no ego or the self as I am born in that monent. Ones you identify anything immediately self come to exist. Self is just an dilution comes from the memorry that you gather . Example I am so and so I was born this date my nation is this my body is me etc etc etc.doing this.meditation u wil see mind stops. Time eill come no thoughts just see ,hereing testing ,touch and smell. No obsever who observe.. other words ur beyond time snd space.in this state no stress . And you wil start to understand ur world you create no one crater anything for you.ur saffering joy you crater no one do it for you. And everthing is impermanence. There is no being in ur body to die. Just this mental birth as I am just an dilution.self or ego born many times per dsy from 5 sense the 6 th is the thinking part and die every moment. No one to die here . Idia of a self is just a thought.
Wrong to say shrinking
Namo Buddha
they want to awakening their air bending ability

Folk religion is declining also
Buddhism isn't a philosophy but a religion. Go and read Shurangama sutra which talks about the various deities on astral plane. The rituals are man-made and not part of Buddhism. So you can do away with the rituals.
Buddhism is the only vision of philosophy,, Don't judge read only one sutta, Buddhism have 80000 sutta for better understanding also Buddhism is not a religion, No God here
It was never a religion but just a way
@@NN94887 bs. That shows how little you know.
God Buddha
Just learn from Nichiren Buddishm from life from Nichiren Shoshu. Japan.🧑🦳
