    Wonderful. However, one thing has bugged me my entire life. Whether it's a catholic nun, a buddhist, a buddhist nun. They all preach the same things - love, compassion, positivity but not one of them knows how to smile. The greatest gift from God.

    • @modernbuddhismpodcast
      @modernbuddhismpodcast 4 часа назад

      Thank you for your comment @weareirishdogs I agree, a smile is certainly one of the most beautiful gifts we can bring to the world. I've met lots of nuns in the Kadampa Buddhist tradition and they all have lovely smiles. This was certainly a discussion about in-depth, potentially challenging subject matter, so maybe it's context dependent. Thanks for watching!

    Even if the mind and Brain work in a independant way, they are inseprable. The mind responds to the brain neural function and its condition. As soon as we learn to practice mindfullness, then the mind has the power to reshape and rewire the brain. In other words, our brain can become the most powerfull tool for a deeper more meaningfull life.

    • @modernbuddhismpodcast
      @modernbuddhismpodcast День назад

      @janicehenry5636 hiccupping? In the Buddhist understanding of the workings of the body, we explore the element energies of earth, wind, fire, and water... and as we approach death these energies weaken... hiccupping while urinating can be a sign of the wind element weakening and so indicate that the death process will begin over the next months... of course it could also be a coincidence. In any case Gen Gomlam was referring to this in her episode.

    The Bible is clear what happens at death. We stand before Jesus Christ for judgment. Why? Because we are all sinners. He died to pay the penalty for sin, which penalty is death. He was sinless, so death could not hold him. He offers pardon to anyone who acknowledges they are a sinner, believes he rose from the dead, and accepts his payment on their behalf. If you refuse to acknowledge you are a sinner worthy of death, you will pay for your sins forever, in Hell. None of us know how long we have in this life. Please turn to him before it is too late. Hebrews 9:24-28 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

    Regarding death, "something leaves".... In Buddhism there is something called fundamental ignorance. It is the human tendency to support an illusion of independence. So does "something leave"? Sure, some illusion of static and immortal existence of a person leaves. Actually the absolute truth of all things is interdependence. So all things change and all things are interdependent. In that nature of reality things are always changing,waxing and waning.

    I believe that consciousness is everything, it is all encompassing. We are not separate from anything. I love watching NDE accounts here on RUclips. However- I don’t agree with this Nun when she says that we can/will “die without regrets”. It’s a nice thought but there’s no way. We all have regrets, what if’s. Regret is a part of life. We have choice and free will, and so, we have regret too.

    Buddhism is the most boring and empty of all religions/philosophies, it is the antithesis of LIFE. Life is about creativity,individualism,being eccentric and original, while buddhism basically advocates for a very flat existence. Just look at buddhist monks, there is no life going in them, all grey and indifferent and regurgitating the same stuff for centuries

      @patriciasedgewick5005 Hi Patricia, that's a big topic, but one thing I have seen is people with advanced Alzheimer's who have largely forgotten the people and events of this life, who none the less continue to show a real affection, kindness and compassion to others. The surface memories may dissappear, but if we have made our heart one with compassion that seems to linger - and that continues to protect the mind.
