So smoothly spoken, literally like eating candy, it's so easy to understand. I have a lot of reading to do but now I know where to start. I was so stressed trying to straighten things out before this. THANK YOU
It took me a world religion class, a lot of reading, a great courses series, and finally attending a local temple to get to know what is taught here in any real detail. I just want to add, this is a really well done overview that I wish I had available when my little journey started. 🙏🏻
Thank u so much! This answered some of my questions about Buddhism. I just joined a Buddhist Meditation group last night so I’m really excited to learn more:)
That’s great Tammy!
Thank you for this overview Peto! :)
Welcome and thank you! :)
Thank you so much. This is very helpful and it’s great that everyone can access this information.
Thanks Joshua! Check out my article on it for a lot more info you might find interesting and helpful.
Hi! I watched a bunch of your video and I'm really glad I did. I'm a beginner and I need to understand these informations and with you, I understand very clearly. Thank you for helping me to begin my journey :)
Thanks Julie! Please check out the complimentary articles on my website if you need more in-depth (and graphics). Also, you can grab the free 14-day planner if interested: gum.co/BuddhistPlannerCOVID
@@AlanPeto Thank you very much :) Could you talk about about your favorite buddha if you have one in your next videos? :)
I will add it to my list :)
Very well made video
Thank you, Elisha!
my girlfriend just got me a book that I've been wanting to read it's the first volume in a series called The Library of Wisdom and Compassion and I've only read a few pages so far but it is pretty good about making it a bit easier to understand from what I've read but I would like a buddhist teacher as well.
What Buddhist tradition are you interested in or a general location? Perhaps I can offer some suggestions. If you have a Buddhist temple nearby, that would be your best bet. You can also get our free 14-day Buddhist practice plan which might be a good place for you to start: alanpeto.gumroad.com/l/BuddhistPlannerCOVID
@@AlanPeto I'm not sure though I did find a Buddhist temple like 30 minutes away from where I live and I know that they meet at like 9:30 on sundays for meditation then after I think they go into some of the teachings but I'm not sure there wasnt much on their website from what I remember, just like dates, times and location. and I'll have to look into that practice plan though I dont have a lot of money right now so I would only be able to do the 14 days to start but will probably continue once I have money and if I like it enough
Do you know what tradition/school they are part of? Completely understand about the financial constraints. If you want to start off your practice, you can use the 14-day planner I linked in my prior comment (alanpeto.gumroad.com/l/BuddhistPlannerCOVID). You'll also find links to online sessions by a variety of Buddhist traditions linked in the guide. You can also follow this daily practice in 14 videos here on RUclips: ruclips.net/p/PLRFx_swvvCHomD_6zwI5y7XlZ0XxJDbWY
@@AlanPeto I'm not sure what tradition they are apart of. I havent had the chance to go yet. I kinda want to go this sunday but I am worried because I've had trouble with meditating myself and I'm afraid of not being accepted and like what do I wear idk I'm trying to get better about not letting my anxiety control me but some days it's easier than others.
This was very insightful.
I had purchased the Lotus Sutra long ago, but my mum lost it >:( will definitely check out your book recommendations though. The only Buddhist temples is Sakya Thubten Ling but it is still very far away. Hopefully I can try it out some day though
Welcome! For temples, note that there are quite a few that are offering services online, which might help between the times you can't physically get to a temple.
@@AlanPeto Thank you for the suggestion!
Can’t go wrong with dhammapada
