The question about purpose of one’s life used to bother me. Until a hermit (Poornaji) told me that the purpose of life is to live. Be good, do good, serve others.
Wonderful blog. Pls dig deeper on internet concerning Buddha first words after enlightenment. There are different versions ! :1) ,, O builder , you will never build house again ,, . Those words refer to Buddha experience of ego disappearing - source of suffering. So no more reincarnations. ! Ego disappearence gave room to enlightenment appearence which Buddha compared to ambrosia, space like ( emptiness ) happiness. Again, Your work is mind blowing, deep gratitude.
This is a brilliant way of explaining what the Buddha went through during his quest for enlightenment. Matt, you're an accomplished knower of Buddha's teachings. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Wow, this was such a captivating breakdown of Buddha’s path! The way each teacher contributed to his growth and understanding is inspiring. It’s a reminder that wisdom can come from different places and lead to something truly transformative. Thanks for making this complex history so engaging and relatable!
Very educative. I love your videos. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
Simply to “be here now” is true, but misleading. What he found was that everything he had learned from his former teachers was true, but like the blind men examining the elephant, they hadn’t put all their insights together at once to see the elephant ‘as it is.’ Only then could he see: “The radiant awareness that is always present.” And the keys to it all, that he left for everyone, are the Four Noble Truths. But you do not, you cannot simply dispense with all of your desires at once. You must meditate in stillness until: fading away your desire comes within reach.

GOTAMA BUDDHA FULLFILL THE 10 PERFECTION IN 3 WAYS TO ATTAIN NIRVANA LIKE DIPANKARA BUDDHA. THE AWAKENING ONE NOT BECOME DURING ONE LIFE OR MILLIONS LIFE. AT LEAST, IT TAKE 4 INFINITY WORLDS AND 100000 WORLDS .
First (4) is understandable but last (1) yagnavalkya can't be before buddha because Upanishads are in language not existed before buddha. Newer research says Sanskrit is later developed that is Upanishads are written in classical Sanskrit which is much later at least 1000 yrs after buddha. (Rethink about it)❤
It's not kapila he is kapila rishi...Sankhya philosophy is the philosophy from Veda...Buddha did not meet kapila because kapila was born before Lord Krishna and kapila is mentioned in bhagvad gita by Lord Krishna...Sankhya darshan is shaivasm where consciousness and prakiti is symbolised as Shiva linga...
An AI voice, obviously (weird pauses, but moreover, the different pronunciation of the same words...), is it also an AI script? Why not be transparent about it?
What bull! Most of the teachings you mentioned came after Buddhism. That was the false matrix not the “influence”. You mention teachers that Lord Buddha never mentioned. Fake news! In the end all he had to do was breath and be calm. No teachings even came close.
It’s a valuable observation that much of what’s considered “Buddhist teachings” evolved over centuries as different schools, cultures, and influences incorporated their interpretations. The Buddha’s original teachings, found primarily in the early Pali Canon, focus on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, emphasizing direct experience over elaborate doctrines. The simplicity in his teachings-such as mindfulness of breath and understanding suffering-reflects his emphasis on experiential wisdom over intellectualization. Later texts and commentaries do add layers, but the Buddha’s core message is often about the simplicity of observing, understanding, and letting go.
@@MindPodcastEnglish actually, the only reason merely breathing worked was because he had been practicing Sila and paramitas over kalpas of lifetimes - something other Indian sects have NO clue about - the perfection of Sila and paramitas comes from Buddhism- where Lord Buddha is the Law! Sakyamuni’s body was very different, and had developed over lifetimes - that’s why he said he didn’t honor anyone as his teacher except the Law.

This is what made The Buddha so unique. He was a self seeker of wisdom, and encouraged his students to be the same way.

Buddhism is the origin of all religions.

ALSO, You are Freaking Amazing.

Hi Matt, awesome video. If there is no-self/Anata. Then who or what is reincarnated ? Buddhists do believe in reincarnation.
Said 5 teachers were not hidden. In fact it is mentioned very many times in Tripitaka
First (4) is understandable but last (1) yagnavalkya can't be before buddha because Upanishads are in language not existed before buddha.

Gee I wonder why no one knows them?
Because it’s fake news.
Stop seeking
An AI voice, obviously (weird pauses, but moreover, the different pronunciation of the same words...), is it also an AI script? Why not be transparent about it?
All wrong. It’s not understandable by the western intelligence.
I stopped watching when you compared to Tony Robbins
