There is one important point missing : when the king allows Buddha to go out of the palace, Buddha meets 4 things : a little child just born, an old man, a homeless man who was sick and another man dead body. Those represented a circle of life : Birth, Age, Sick and death. This is according to Cambodia Buddha story influenced by India Buddha story.
That is a later addition. The earliest sources merely depict the buddha-to-be as seeking a higher spiritual goal and becoming an ascetic or śramaṇa after being disillusioned with lay life, later legendary biographies tell a more elaborate dramatic story about how and why he decided to leave.
@@andilouis8770 nope he ain't he is the only one worthy and people don't want to acknowledge Christ because they want to justify their filthy and immoral lifestyles
@@jmgonzales7701 The best.. ofc he is the best And dont say prince siddharta Tell Gouthama buddha its not nice idk every religion makes their god the best idk for me its lord buddha
The Buddha’s compassion for humanity shines through in his decision to share the path to enlightenment with others, despite achieving Nirvana himself. Truly selfless.
@@OK.156 It got replanted one time to Bodh Gaya with a branch of a sapling from Sri Lanka of the branch of the original tree after it had withered. After that, branches of this new one got replanted all around the world. But genetically, they are actually all one and the same tree, descending from the original Bodhi tree formerly standing in Bodh Gaya, when the Buddha reached enlightenment.
Lord Buddha the prince of Lumbini, kapilvastu, Nepal is the light of the world, who spread peace in the world. I am not buddhist, but i love the teachings of Buddha.
What is ironic about that is that preserving the tree is against what Buddha would have ever wanted. There is a cycle of life and death, and now the tree is as materialistic as money itself.
Holiest place in Buddhism is the either Limbini, the birth place of Sidhartha Gautam or the boudha stupa located in kathmandu city which It has the remains of Buddha buried under it after he was cremated.
Buddhism is a Dharmic Religion, having more emphasis on the concept of Moksha- high level of enlightenment, the Eightfold Path and liberation from Rebirth which is a form of punishment
Moksha and nirvana are two different things, buddha taught nirvana. Moksha asserts the existence of a permanent soul which the buddha rejected. Rebirth is not a punishment.
@avusookay6743 Our own selves, because we humans have desires and emotion, when certain things aren't being fulfilled or doing karmic act will will results in reincarnation. It is a form of punishment, and also not.
@@nareshkumarn2088 Right, rebirth is more seen as another chance to manifest Nirvana, but the environment you find yourself in is itself Samsara and therefore suffering. Yet, it is a necessary evil, since without suffering Nirvana wouldn't make any sense. It's like Nagarjuna has formulated it: "Nirvana = Samsara" or more precisely "Nirvana *in* Samsara". Samsara conditions Nirvana, but Nirvana doesn't condition Samsara, that's why It's special on one side (because it doesn't condition anything Samsarical and is therefore by definition final), but in dire need of Samsara on the other side in order to be established. Once it is established though, as much as you want it to be different, "there is no way back", since the wheel of the Dharma has already made you enter the stream.
@@エルフェンリート-l3iNirvana is nothingness where there is no rebirth or death.. and samsara and nirvana are not the same.. whole entirely different concepts..Sasara is cycle where we all living beings are trapped and can't be escaped.
One thing I appreciate about Buddhism is that many people Who follows the religion aren’t hateful towards other religions.. they have a very good mindset because they practice their religion and mind their own business. Obviously this doesn’t apply to EVERYONE who’s Buddhist cause I’m sure there’s extremist everywhere .
You forgot to mention a really badass moment when Buddha asked the Earth to be his witness. The Earth Goddess (Also known as a Water Goddess in Thai culture) sprung up from the ground in order to protect Buddha. She started twisting her hair. The twist caused a tsunami of water to overflow and drown the demon army. Also in a famous Buddha painting there were very large crocodiles that also ate these demons to protect Buddha.
Now that's a cool variation I have never heard about. I know of "asking the earth to be his witness" and the "touching the earth" gesture in iconography, but that additional back story is totally new to me :)
The story about the Earth Goddess is a localization version to appeal to the local beliefe during that time. It also serve as a metaphor for "quench down your thirst of desire and free your self from the bound of temptation".
More proof that Buddha story was a historical one. Please allow me to interrupt. 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. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic.
I see some people in comment section disrespectful of Buddha and Buddhism.All religions are good.Rivers, lakes and streams, they all have different names, but they all contains water. So does religion have different names and they all contain god and truth only expressed in different ways, forms and times. What Buddha, Guru Rinpoche taught was right, what Jesus taught was right, what Moses taught was right, what Krishna taught was right. What Isiah, Noah taught was right.God has always sent different prophets to different people at different times for messages for those people and people have decided to choose those prophets as their leader. If a person follows Buddha and do what Buddha said, he'll will good. If a person follows Krishna and live what he preached, he'll be good. If a person follows Jesus and do what he taught, they will see god and believe it. No religion in the world teaches people to do bad . As Buddha said, "Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded" Always remember do not disrespect other religion just because you think your religion is superior or genuine....I'm devoted Vajrayana Buddhist from Bhutan 🇧🇹🇧🇹 much love
They just afraid if their religion are wrong, all religion come from same resource because theres so much different in time line, so the later religion will adapt from the previous religion
Lord Buddha the prince of Lumbini, kapilvastu, Nepal is the light of the world, who spread peace in the world. I am not buddhist, but i love the teachings of Buddha.
Prince Siddhartha Gautama was sure born in Lumbini, Kapilvastu, Nepal but he became Buddha under the Bodhi Tree, Bihar, India. Siddhartha was a normal man. Buddha, on the otherhand was the enlightened one.
@@feniltrivedi5907 Nepal never celebrates Independence day. It was never colonized or occoupied. So this is one of the few countries that does not have Independence day. So there is no question it was a part of indian sub continent.
I apologise for being the 'acktually guy' But Mara isn't a demon (Ashura) he is a God (Deva). Now Gods in Dharmic religions are not like God from the Abrahamic religion. They are more akin to the Olympic and Nordic Gods, powerful entities that can die and other beings can be reborn to take their place. Mara is the self proclaimed King of the Sixth Heaven. His domain (or rather all beings that are reborn into this role holds the domain) is desire and pleasure. He views all the Gods, Mortals, Animals, Ghosts and Demons under him as his subjects and anyone who attempts to leave pleasure behind (gaining enlightenment) is seen to be betraying him and he will do whatever it takes to keep his subjects 'drugged and happy' In a philosophical lens, Mara and the Buddhas are polar opposites. The Buddha teaches that suffering can be stopped by understanding the truth, whereas Mara sells mortals a lie by giving us pleasures and distractions.
Don't apologize! You really made a good point actually. Most people view Mara as a demon but in truth he is divine being who have material realms as his domains (pretty similar to Gnostic Demiurge, Abrahamic Devil). His main goals is to keep soul to trap in material realms by deploying various spiritual distraction that make soul have attachment to material realms, essentially to corrupted and make the soul impured, which prevented them to ascending to higher existences. And in this story Buddha literally will enlighten in his domain, and Mara took that personally. The true form of Mara is our dark self and Buddha is fighting his dark self to completely ascending to Nirvana. Fun fact : In anime Record of Ragnarok, there is a match that have a celestial demon Hajun and Buddha fighting. In which, Hajun is another name for Mara.
The one point that is debatable is Mara is not the king of sixth heaven,he is just the supreme diety that beyond all powers and judgement..the buddism in myanmar called Htayrawara, there was respective rulers in each heavens..Mara is not the king but he is just stronger than the king of sixth heaven..he also has ancestors who are all Mara of their period..Mara's uncle was also buddha's powerful disciple Moggalan who was also Mara in previous buddha's eras.. Moggala's sister is Mara's mother..Like you said he is not evil.but he just interpret mostly buddhas who are about to achieve enlightenment and out of the "Samsara" which means cycle of being born and death over and over.
Tbf, mara didn’t lie, the samsara cycles is many thing, both suffering and happiness, even buddha is agreeing on this matter. Buddha only offer a path so people/beings know of an exit out of samsara, it is our choice that we walk it or not

This is basically the story of a an absolute Chad, being born in perfect Chad conditions and ultimately realising the suffering of all the other sub fives, so in the end he sacrifices himself to become a giga Chad monk. Truly a based story
The Buddha chose to be born in such a chad condition! It is said that the Buddha to be in their previous life can voluntarily choose their desired place of birth and get born consciously and fully aware because of their attainments.

What a beautifully told story! Your narration of Prince Siddhartha Gautama's journey to becoming the Buddha is both captivating and enlightening. I appreciate how you bring the life and teachings of the Buddha to life in such a clear and relatable way. Wonderful work
😃😁👏 Well done. Love it! Now that was amazing Complete The Story of Buddha Prince Siddhartha Gautama. May Buddha bless you on your journey awaits you in the afterlife 🙏
I was hoping you may consider doing a film about Jowangsin, the Korean mythological goddess of fire, for your next installment. The excellent job is being maintained, as usual.
Siddhartha really was concerned of the sickness, old age and the bad things that afflicted people, he later despised the sheltered life his parents raised him in, let go of earthly tethers to achieve self-knowledge
I don't know you're a Buddhist or not but you do a pretty good job narrating the story. There are lot of versions to the story but your one isn't not much deviate from what I heard. Any one can take teachings from Buddha to their lives, they don't have to a Buddhist. Buddhism is not just a religion its way of life.

I am so grateful to be able to listen and learn from the teachings shared here.[7:45] This is the perfect place for anyone who wants to explore and apply Buddhism in their life.
That is an except derived the lotus sutra, a mahayana Buddhist text in east asia. The older text from the tripitaka, the Mahāpadāna Sutta, the 14th Sutta of the Dīgha Nikāya, states: Immediately after birth the Bodhisatta(buddha-to-be) stands firmly on his feet, and having taken seven strides to the north, while a white canopy, is held over his head, looks round and utters in fearless voice the lion's roar: "Aggo 'ham asmi lokassa, jettho 'ham asmi lokassa, settho 'ham asmi lokassa, ayam antimā jāti, natthi dāni punabbhavo” (D.ii.15). Translation: I am the highest in this world; I am foremost in this world; I am the best in this world; this is the last birth; there is no further be-coming here.

Another amazing video as usual! As a suggestion for future videos, could you do one on Jowangsin, the goddess of fire in Korean mythology? As always, keep up the great work👍!
This version has many details changed/missing from other accounts of the Buddha's life. This is first time I've heard this story leave out such details.
Buddhism always resonates something inside me, since I love how empathetic their religion is. Buddhism teaching definitely piqued a lot of my interest 💛🪷
I think what happened is that because the King prevented Prince Siddhartha from seeing the true world, once he has seen it it came as a massive shock that it was too unberable.
2:30 The Buddha’s encounter with four sights-a newborn child, an elderly person, a sick person, and someone who had passed away-profoundly symbolizes the circle of life. These are universal human experiences that emphasize life’s impermanence. The Buddha realized that birth, aging, illness, and death are inevitable parts of existence. This understanding sparked his journey to find a path that transcends suffering and liberates from the cycle of rebirth. Reflecting on these truths helps us appreciate the value of each moment, fostering compassion and a desire to seek enlightenment.
One fascinating story is that King Suddhodana and queen Maya Devi were visited by three wise men or sages according to the records (Pali literature). Two of the sages said he would either be the King of Kings or an important sage. King Suddhodana questioned the last examining sage as he looked sad. When the sage mentioned nothing bad would happen to his new born Siddhartha (to later become the Buddha) the Kind was relieved, but the sage added he was sad because he would not see the boy grow up as an important teacher or sage. Concerned that his son would leave palatial life King Suddhodana asked the sage why his son would go down this path. The story goes that the sage told the King that should Siddhartha see 4 signs in life a new born, an old man, an old beggar and a person who was dead and prepared for cremation only then Siddartha would leave the princely life in search of a higher meaning. The King grew more worried thanked the sage and prepared his kingdom or rather Siddhartha's life so that he never saw these signs. Siddartha up until his late teens had never encountered these signs and when he did at the age of 16 he left his princely life, his wife and son in search of enlightenment. He met various teachers along the way but after nearly 14 long years he finally attained Nibbhana/Nirvana and became the (Buddha =enlightened one) at the age of 30. The rest is history!
The only truly teachings to let goes of all attachments, nobles truths, abstain from hates, greeds and arrogantness, true repentance, acquiring great wisdoms of true compassions and responsibilities. Nivarna to escape the continuous cycles of life and deaths! The tenths of thousands perfected souls to becomes the fully enlightened Buddhas, seas of calm Bodhisattvas and its everlasting vows of Bodhicitta! ❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏
Hello, I wanna add something here. Buddha was bald and did not have bun on his head. But according to the traditional of those time, a person is considered bald when his hair is not long enough to tie a bun. So his hairstyle was probably similar to the today military hairstyle. The bun is drawn in the illustrations by the painters probably due to the shadow formed between his head and the shimmering rainbow light around his head. This is said by a very famous monk in myanmar called Ashin Nanda Marlar Bisamma.
It may be, but don't take it for granted. Do you know that the 32 natures of a great man can be found in every name of the Lord Buddha, and only from that you understand that the external form of the Lord Buddha is that. Lord Buddha has 9 infinite qualities (need to know those nine qualities in detail) then you will see the real Lord Buddha.
If you read the book written by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, (he studied Buddhism for 5 years before finished writing the book ), It states that Prince Gautama was a member of Shakya kula and was a part of Sangha (A Republic System of that time). The Kolia and Shakya clans quarreled over the distribution of the water of the Rohini river and for opposing the war that was about to take place between them, Prince Gautama was given three options: abdication, confiscation of his and his families property, and ostracism on his family, He Chose abdication. He left home with the permission of his parents and wife Yashodhara, their son Rahul was only seven days old.
He meditate because he grew up in very rich household but seem unhappy of it all. He found a way to detach from earthly possessions and become part of the universe. Most people nowadays cannot do this type of meditation unless they are willing to give up their materialist possessions. It is hardand difficult ordeal someone will go through
In Buddhism, there is no place after death, one just reaches a state of Nirvana, there is no deity , it is just majorly a teachings of Enlightened person called Buddha
2600 years later and the teachings still rings clear & concise. Dharma will shine as long as sentient beings remain in cyclic existence. I bow to to you Tathagata !
The Mara guy... there are supernatural beings in slavic mythology called Mara, they are scary demon like malicious beings yet usually small, often humanoid. And the word mara itself is closely related to imagination. Mara is modern stem for dreams as your wishes and what you experience during sleep same as in english, yet there are other kind of mara which english doesnt cover, it is a single word meaning 'bad dream' as in sleep. But it isnt as much of a 'bad dream' as it is borderline 'horror dream' of terror so that fits to the Mara described in this video in this aspect yet in a different way. And maras were our explanation for sleep paralysis as it was said that a mara sits on your chest so you cannot move, some slavic languages also called them the 'suffocators' who prevent you from breathing properly after you wake up since they push on your chest. There must be a link there.
One day, while still a young prince, Siddhartha Gautama wandered into the royal gardens. There, he found a farmer, exhausted, struggling to till the land beneath the hot sun. Unlike the servants who looked away, Siddhartha knelt beside the man, quietly taking the plow and helping him turn the soil. The prince's hands grew blistered, but for the first time, he felt a strange joy-one born not from royal luxury but from sharing another’s burden. It was in that garden that Siddhartha first glimpsed the power of compassion, a simple act that would shape his journey toward enlightenment.
how do you know you think know something but really you just a person think you all but you really don't just a human think just they thinking that they know something but don't Buddha, bless you. You have a bless you who ever you are p.s please seek the wisdom of God because the the 666 It's not working for you. Buddha bless you anyway 🙏
i love this and i can relate as i am trying to be buddha and i am very thankful about this so i can get a deeper understanding about my new religion. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 i thank you very much
I do respect Buddhism teaching as it teaches you to be kind and everything in life is based upon good n bad karma . I’m not going to lie coming from a background of Buddhism and growing up here almost all my life I still don’t understand all the praying and chanting in my own language or maybe is in another language but anyway I’m pretty sure kids who born here will have the same struggles and likely they will seek God as their faith bc at least they understanding what they praying for in any languages . K I know I will have a lot of backlash saying that but I’m not far off what going on in the minds of future generations
the chantings are in Pali language. They are not merely chanting but they are Buddha's teachings if you ever have a chance to ask the monks, they would explain it to you.
I like that Siddhartha was a really natural and almost materialistic man with very modern psychological ideas in his age. And now, buddhist people bowing to golden Buddha statues and tell that once the Earth Goddess fought for Siddhartha against demons with her giant crocodile army under a supernatural tree.
Great video! I'm an online English teacher and your videos are perfect for homework assignments-- they're interesting, informative, well-paced and clear pronunciation-- thank you! I'm curious, what software do you use for your illustrations? Is that from an artist or AI?
I remember reading that he actually died from an illness. Food poisoning or something … not sure. So my question is…did he believe and practiced Hinduism? Did he partake in such rituals and worship of deities? If so, how did it fit into his teaching?
There are different aspects of Hinduism and to simply consider it a religion is like trying to simply a complex affair in a very simple aspect. Yes, buddha in many ways was practising hinduism at a spiritual and philosophical level.
From the perspective of Theravada Buddhism - He is seen as an enlightened being whose supernatural powers are rarely discussed! He is viewed as a human made of flesh and blood! From the perspective of Mahayana + Vajryana Buddhism - His supernatural - spiritual aspects are discussed where there is existence of various deities encountering with Buddha. He died from food poisoning (Pork), He didn't worship any deities / Gods of Hinduism or any religion. But, ofcourse he knew about them as his fundemental education was Hinduism centric! He left his kingdom to find the answer to stop birth - death circle which he didn't get from the traditional Hindu teachings! Also, he worked with Hindu saints at the early stage of his life who used to practice extremist path. Later, he left them and went on meditating on his own alone in the jungle - realizing that the most suitable path is the Middle Path. One thing to be cleared - he never said that he was any kind of god - he said he was a human just like us who had found the path of Nirvana - Emptiness! After attaining Enlightenment, he started teaching about the rules and path to NIRVANA. So, all the chanting you hear in Buddhism are the direct speech/teaching/lesson from him! Even from a non-believer perspectives - those lessons are realistic and practical even in this modern era of human civilization.
he study a lot of teaching and philosophy include hinduism but he didn't worship anything but value the knowledge they offer anyway later hinduism claim him to be avatar of their gods which according to buddha teaching it maybe or maybe not true,
Once he became Lord Budhdha he gained all knowledges. Ananda thero didn't invite Lord Budhdha to live further at the right time , therefore Lord Budhdha decided to pass away . Thanks
He was a prophet of only one God. He was "enlightened" one day which means angel Gabriel came to hime as he came to prophets like Moses, Jesus, Npah, Muhammed. But Buddha's message got corrupted and turned into a different ideology.
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to an NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
In Myanmar Theravada Buddhism there's no Earth goddess who protects Buda from demons or something bad , Buddha touches the earth to be his witness and he wins all demon's things by his power (like မေတ္တာ )
Question!🙋 Is there some kind of hierarchy in Buddhahood? I mean the Prince became the first Buddha and all but i mean he wasn't the only one right? TanSan Zang and Sun Wukong ascended to Buddha themselves after the journey to the west. Sure they're had a different kind of Title of Buddha but still those two have it.
He was the only one in this period of time, the other stories saying there were many Buddhas are just part of east and south east asian converted Buddhism, A Buddha is only one person at a time, there can't be many Buddhas at the same time
@@toyouryouth thats right,altough Bodhisattvas can decide to not become completly enlightned ( actual buddhas) in order to help others reach enlightment
The word buddha came from sanskrit word buddhi, means wisdom, understanding or intellect. Buddha means one who achieved true knowledge. Buddha has not achieved knowledge in one life time. There are many lifetimes of various animals, birds and insects form took him to achieve human form. All of those life forms are mentioned in Jatak katha in Buddhist literature. Buddha is not a name of person, rather it is a state one achieves through hardwork in right direction. So it might possible that TanSan Zang and Sun Wukong would be earlier lifetimes of Buddha before enlightenment...
I think there can be many Buddhas at any one time. It's just that we discourage any particular individuals from claiming the status, not least because of the danger of self-deception (enlightenment is a process, not a final destination), but also because it could cause the fragmentation of the Sangha. If different people we're all claiming the authority of the Buddha, and each was teaching even only slightly different practices, then there is the possibility of discord and schism within the community, which would be damaging to this third jewel and its capacity to help us. The Sangha is like a wing that helps all of us feathers to keep from being blown about by the winds of fear and desire; it brings us into a unity of practice that helps us to help each other. When one falters, there's usually someone else who isn't so much at that time and can help us back to our feet, so to speak. When united in a wing, the feathers' only limit is the sky! It's similar to the concept of the mind of Christ in Christianity, or the Oneness of Allah and the seal of prophethood in Islam. These are absolute and non-negotiable concepts in their respective traditions that provide unity and cohesion in their communities, thereby helping those who practice in those contexts. To reject these kinds of concepts in their traditional contexts is like breaking the cups that contain our wine, so that they then spill that wine, making it useless to everyone. Cups are merely vessels; it's the wine that matters. But cups are important nonetheless because without one all we have is a puddle! And don't try to drink from more than one cup at a time! Choose a cup and drink from it. Just respect the fact that other cups exist!
I'll just copy the definition from the wikipedia article on Buddhahood: Buddhahood is the state of an awakened being, who, having found the path of cessation of dukkha[4] ("suffering", as created by attachment to desires and distorted perception and thinking) is in the state of "no-more-Learning".[5][6][7] There is a broad spectrum of opinion on the nature of Buddhahood, its universality, and the method of attaining Buddhahood among the various schools of Buddhism. The level to which this manifestation requires ascetic practices varies from none at all to an absolute requirement, dependent on doctrine. While most schools accept the bodhisattva ideal, in which it takes aeons to reach Buddhahood, not all agree that everyone can become a Buddha, or that it must take aeons. In Theravada Buddhism, Buddha refers to one who has reached awakening (bodhi) through their own efforts and insight, without a teacher to point out the dharma. A samyaksambuddha re-discovers the truths and the path to awakening on their own, and then teaches these to others after his awakening. A pratyekabuddha also reaches nirvana through his own efforts, but is unable or unwilling to teach the dharma to others. An arhat needs to follow the teaching of a Buddha to attain Nirvana, and may also preach the dharma after attaining nirvana.[8] In one instance the term buddha is also used in Theravada to refer to all who attain Nirvana, using the term sāvakabuddha to designate an arhat, someone who depends on the teachings of a Buddha to attain Nirvana.[9] In this broader sense it is equivalent to the arhat. In Mahāyāna Buddhism meanwhile, a Buddha is seen as a transcendent being who has extensive powers, such as omniscience, omnipotence, and whose awakened wisdom (buddha-jñana) is all pervasive.[10][11] This view can be found in numerous Mahāyāna sources, like the Avatamsaka sutra.[11]
Wow, the moment at 07:20 when Siddhartha faces Mara's temptations is incredibly powerful. It shows the strength of the mind when it is fully determined and focused. Truly inspiring!
I like the legend that there was a snake that protected Guatama from evil during his meditation to achieve enlightenment. Most myths and stories portray serpents as evil or malice, but this is one exception that shows a different side to the animal
Gautam Siddharth was the 28th Tathagata He himself was from that family that worshipped Kakusandha Buddha, Koṇāgamana Buddha and Kassapa Buddha Buddhism is an Arya dharma (Moksh-believing religion)
Stranger, if you're reading this, it seems we were meant to cross paths. I wish you and your family a heart free from sorrow, a mind unburdened by worry, a life brimming with joy, prosperity in all endeavors, and enduring blessings.
There is one important point missing : when the king allows Buddha to go out of the palace, Buddha meets 4 things : a little child just born, an old man, a homeless man who was sick and another man dead body. Those represented a circle of life : Birth, Age, Sick and death. This is according to Cambodia Buddha story influenced by India Buddha story.
You are so right that is point of the story thank u man
That is a later addition. The earliest sources merely depict the buddha-to-be as seeking a higher spiritual goal and becoming an ascetic or śramaṇa after being disillusioned with lay life, later legendary biographies tell a more elaborate dramatic story about how and why he decided to leave.
So which part do you believe?
You forget the monk not the baby😂

This Bodhi tree still exist in India it is the holiest place for Buddhism
It got destroyed and replanted multiple times tho
@@OK.156 It got replanted one time to Bodh Gaya with a branch of a sapling from Sri Lanka of the branch of the original tree after it had withered. After that, branches of this new one got replanted all around the world. But genetically, they are actually all one and the same tree, descending from the original Bodhi tree formerly standing in Bodh Gaya, when the Buddha reached enlightenment.
Lord Buddha the prince of Lumbini, kapilvastu, Nepal is the light of the world, who spread peace in the world. I am not buddhist, but i love the teachings of Buddha.
What is ironic about that is that preserving the tree is against what Buddha would have ever wanted. There is a cycle of life and death, and now the tree is as materialistic as money itself.
Holiest place in Buddhism is the either Limbini, the birth place of Sidhartha Gautam or the boudha stupa located in kathmandu city which It has the remains of Buddha buried under it after he was cremated.
Buddhism is a Dharmic Religion, having more emphasis on the concept of Moksha- high level of enlightenment, the Eightfold Path and liberation from Rebirth which is a form of punishment
Moksha and nirvana are two different things, buddha taught nirvana. Moksha asserts the existence of a permanent soul which the buddha rejected. Rebirth is not a punishment.
@avusookay6743 Our own selves, because we humans have desires and emotion, when certain things aren't being fulfilled or doing karmic act will will results in reincarnation. It is a form of punishment, and also not.
@@nareshkumarn2088 Right, rebirth is more seen as another chance to manifest Nirvana, but the environment you find yourself in is itself Samsara and therefore suffering. Yet, it is a necessary evil, since without suffering Nirvana wouldn't make any sense. It's like Nagarjuna has formulated it: "Nirvana = Samsara" or more precisely "Nirvana *in* Samsara". Samsara conditions Nirvana, but Nirvana doesn't condition Samsara, that's why It's special on one side (because it doesn't condition anything Samsarical and is therefore by definition final), but in dire need of Samsara on the other side in order to be established. Once it is established though, as much as you want it to be different, "there is no way back", since the wheel of the Dharma has already made you enter the stream.

You forgot to mention a really badass moment when Buddha asked the Earth to be his witness. The Earth Goddess (Also known as a Water Goddess in Thai culture) sprung up from the ground in order to protect Buddha. She started twisting her hair. The twist caused a tsunami of water to overflow and drown the demon army. Also in a famous Buddha painting there were very large crocodiles that also ate these demons to protect Buddha.
Now that's a cool variation I have never heard about. I know of "asking the earth to be his witness" and the "touching the earth" gesture in iconography, but that additional back story is totally new to me :)
@@エルフェンリート-l3i this a really popular story in Thailand. The Goddess of Earth/ Water appearing is my favorite part.😌
I think this story is unique to thailand, I'm a sri lankan buddhist, but we never heard this version. We all follow theravada buddhism though. 😊
never heard this story before. but it is amazing
The story about the Earth Goddess is a localization version to appeal to the local beliefe during that time. It also serve as a metaphor for "quench down your thirst of desire and free your self from the bound of temptation".
This video has no supernatural story. That's why I love this. Thank you very much 🤍🙏🙏🙏
More proof that Buddha story was a historical one. Please allow me to interrupt. 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. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic.
I see some people in comment section disrespectful of Buddha and Buddhism.All religions are good.Rivers, lakes and streams, they all have different names, but they all contains water. So does religion have different names and they all contain god and truth only expressed in different ways, forms and times. What Buddha, Guru Rinpoche taught was right, what Jesus taught was right, what Moses taught was right, what Krishna taught was right. What Isiah, Noah taught was right.God has always sent different prophets to different people at different times for messages for those people and people have decided to choose those prophets as their leader. If a person follows Buddha and do what Buddha said, he'll will good. If a person follows Krishna and live what he preached, he'll be good. If a person follows Jesus and do what he taught, they will see god and believe it. No religion in the world teaches people to do bad .
As Buddha said, "Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded"
Always remember do not disrespect other religion just because you think your religion is superior or genuine....I'm devoted Vajrayana Buddhist from Bhutan 🇧🇹🇧🇹 much love

I apologise for being the 'acktually guy'
But Mara isn't a demon (Ashura) he is a God (Deva). Now Gods in Dharmic religions are not like God from the Abrahamic religion. They are more akin to the Olympic and Nordic Gods, powerful entities that can die and other beings can be reborn to take their place.
Mara is the self proclaimed King of the Sixth Heaven. His domain (or rather all beings that are reborn into this role holds the domain) is desire and pleasure. He views all the Gods, Mortals, Animals, Ghosts and Demons under him as his subjects and anyone who attempts to leave pleasure behind (gaining enlightenment) is seen to be betraying him and he will do whatever it takes to keep his subjects 'drugged and happy'
In a philosophical lens, Mara and the Buddhas are polar opposites. The Buddha teaches that suffering can be stopped by understanding the truth, whereas Mara sells mortals a lie by giving us pleasures and distractions.
Don't apologize! You really made a good point actually. Most people view Mara as a demon but in truth he is divine being who have material realms as his domains (pretty similar to Gnostic Demiurge, Abrahamic Devil). His main goals is to keep soul to trap in material realms by deploying various spiritual distraction that make soul have attachment to material realms, essentially to corrupted and make the soul impured, which prevented them to ascending to higher existences. And in this story Buddha literally will enlighten in his domain, and Mara took that personally. The true form of Mara is our dark self and Buddha is fighting his dark self to completely ascending to Nirvana.
Fun fact : In anime Record of Ragnarok, there is a match that have a celestial demon Hajun and Buddha fighting. In which, Hajun is another name for Mara.
The one point that is debatable is Mara is not the king of sixth heaven,he is just the supreme diety that beyond all powers and judgement..the buddism in myanmar called Htayrawara, there was respective rulers in each heavens..Mara is not the king but he is just stronger than the king of sixth heaven..he also has ancestors who are all Mara of their period..Mara's uncle was also buddha's powerful disciple Moggalan who was also Mara in previous buddha's eras.. Moggala's sister is Mara's mother..Like you said he is not evil.but he just interpret mostly buddhas who are about to achieve enlightenment and out of the "Samsara" which means cycle of being born and death over and over.
Tbf, mara didn’t lie, the samsara cycles is many thing, both suffering and happiness, even buddha is agreeing on this matter. Buddha only offer a path so people/beings know of an exit out of samsara, it is our choice that we walk it or not
Finally you said that
In Buddhism 'Mara' is a state of mind, its the combination of 7 sins which is what keeps a human from progressing, and achieving one's best version

Hello Im from the Philippines & I really love the story of Buddha😁👍❤

This is basically the story of a an absolute Chad, being born in perfect Chad conditions and ultimately realising the suffering of all the other sub fives, so in the end he sacrifices himself to become a giga Chad monk. Truly a based story
What?
The Buddha chose to be born in such a chad condition! It is said that the Buddha to be in their previous life can voluntarily choose their desired place of birth and get born consciously and fully aware because of their attainments.

No such sect as Neo Buddhism. Just an Indian political term. Even Dr. Ambedkar was a Theravada Buddhist.
@@buddhaexhumed9922😑 mhaahm, thanks for the information.
@@thecuthwulf yup 👍, but neo buddhist is kind of mixture of hindu and Buddhism because neo also celibrate all of hindu festivals.
BUDDHA is like the main character of this world
Buddha looked for enlightenment but Jesus is the light itself
@@joel20596 it can not be proven 😂😂both enlightenment and light are different from each other and how someone can be the light? No hate and there is no logic
@@gamingdisal8533 You think God can be contained in the logic of the human mind, Jesus is the truth, the way and the light.

What a beautifully told story! Your narration of Prince Siddhartha Gautama's journey to becoming the Buddha is both captivating and enlightening. I appreciate how you bring the life and teachings of the Buddha to life in such a clear and relatable way. Wonderful work
Whoever reads this, remember you are valued and loved. I hope life rewards you with beautiful moments and endless blessings!
I appreciate the practical advice on mindfulness. It's refreshing to see a channel that focuses on real-life applications of Buddhist principles!
I'm Buddhist from Cambodia ❤️❤️❤️🇰🇭
Hindu here.....
Thank you so much for spreading the story of the Buddha. It is giving a message of compassion and humanity.
😃😁👏 Well done. Love it! Now that was amazing Complete The Story of Buddha Prince Siddhartha Gautama.
May Buddha bless you on your journey awaits you in the afterlife 🙏
May we be well and happy
May we be free from harm and danger
May we be free from all suffering
May we attain Nirvana peacefully

Some facts are outdated though
I was hoping you may consider doing a film about Jowangsin, the Korean mythological goddess of fire, for your next installment. The excellent job is being maintained, as usual.
Siddhartha really was concerned of the sickness, old age and the bad things that afflicted people, he later despised the sheltered life his parents raised him in, let go of earthly tethers to achieve self-knowledge
are there any books you recommend?
This is a great video summarizing the life of the Buddha in a concise and easy-to-understand way. Thank you for sharing this useful knowledge!
I don't know you're a Buddhist or not but you do a pretty good job narrating the story. There are lot of versions to the story but your one isn't not much deviate from what I heard. Any one can take teachings from Buddha to their lives, they don't have to a Buddhist. Buddhism is not just a religion its way of life.
A lot of Buddhism hasn't been explored yet. Please allow me to interrupt. 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. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying.

I am so grateful to be able to listen and learn from the teachings shared here.[7:45] This is the perfect place for anyone who wants to explore and apply Buddhism in their life.
Where's the
"Throughout heaven and Earth, I alone am the honoured one" quote??
Lol
That is an except derived the lotus sutra, a mahayana Buddhist text in east asia. The older text from the tripitaka, the Mahāpadāna Sutta, the 14th Sutta of the Dīgha Nikāya, states:
Immediately after birth the Bodhisatta(buddha-to-be) stands firmly on his feet, and having taken seven strides to the north, while a white canopy, is held over his head, looks round and utters in fearless voice the lion's roar: "Aggo 'ham asmi lokassa, jettho 'ham asmi lokassa, settho 'ham asmi lokassa, ayam antimā jāti, natthi dāni punabbhavo” (D.ii.15).
Translation: I am the highest in this world; I am foremost in this world; I am the best in this world; this is the last birth; there is no further be-coming here.

Another amazing video as usual! As a suggestion for future videos, could you do one on Jowangsin, the goddess of fire in Korean mythology? As always, keep up the great work👍!
Thank you! We have a short about Jowangsin. Planning to make a full video in the future! ;)
@@SeeUinHistory You’re welcome!
My mum went to India and a Leaf from the Bodhi Tree fell right at her feet. We have it framed in our home now, so so special.
This version has many details changed/missing from other accounts of the Buddha's life. This is first time I've heard this story leave out such details.
Buddhism always resonates something inside me, since I love how empathetic their religion is. Buddhism teaching definitely piqued a lot of my interest 💛🪷
I think what happened is that because the King prevented Prince Siddhartha from seeing the true world, once he has seen it it came as a massive shock that it was too unberable.
That is exactly what happened
He had practice of ten things of his past incalculable lives to become Lord Budhdha in last life . Thanks
A beautifully crafted story that resonates deeply. 📖✨ Thank you for sharing Buddha’s incredible journey! 🙏🌟
yes u got the story correct. well done research! hats off
This was an eye-opening look at history.
ข้าพระพุทธเจ้า เลื่อมใส และ ศรัทธา ในพระพุทธองค์และหลักธรรม คำสอน

2:30 The Buddha’s encounter with four sights-a newborn child, an elderly person, a sick person, and someone who had passed away-profoundly symbolizes the circle of life. These are universal human experiences that emphasize life’s impermanence. The Buddha realized that birth, aging, illness, and death are inevitable parts of existence. This understanding sparked his journey to find a path that transcends suffering and liberates from the cycle of rebirth. Reflecting on these truths helps us appreciate the value of each moment, fostering compassion and a desire to seek enlightenment.
Buddha teaching is so enlightening
Buddhism teaches us that peace is not a destination but a journey we experience in each moment
Although some factswere bent, the video is very short, simple, and beautiful. Thank you for this video.
One fascinating story is that King Suddhodana and queen Maya Devi were visited by three wise men or sages according to the records (Pali literature). Two of the sages said he would either be the King of Kings or an important sage. King Suddhodana questioned the last examining sage as he looked sad. When the sage mentioned nothing bad would happen to his new born Siddhartha (to later become the Buddha) the Kind was relieved, but the sage added he was sad because he would not see the boy grow up as an important teacher or sage. Concerned that his son would leave palatial life King Suddhodana asked the sage why his son would go down this path. The story goes that the sage told the King that should Siddhartha see 4 signs in life a new born, an old man, an old beggar and a person who was dead and prepared for cremation only then Siddartha would leave the princely life in search of a higher meaning. The King grew more worried thanked the sage and prepared his kingdom or rather Siddhartha's life so that he never saw these signs. Siddartha up until his late teens had never encountered these signs and when he did at the age of 16 he left his princely life, his wife and son in search of enlightenment. He met various teachers along the way but after nearly 14 long years he finally attained Nibbhana/Nirvana and became the (Buddha =enlightened one) at the age of 30. The rest is history!
Wonderful song i am still listening years of this particular❤ style simple and lovely....... Thank

Hello, I wanna add something here. Buddha was bald and did not have bun on his head. But according to the traditional of those time, a person is considered bald when his hair is not long enough to tie a bun. So his hairstyle was probably similar to the today military hairstyle. The bun is drawn in the illustrations by the painters probably due to the shadow formed between his head and the shimmering rainbow light around his head. This is said by a very famous monk in myanmar called Ashin Nanda Marlar Bisamma.
It may be, but don't take it for granted. Do you know that the 32 natures of a great man can be found in every name of the Lord Buddha, and only from that you understand that the external form of the Lord Buddha is that. Lord Buddha has 9 infinite qualities (need to know those nine qualities in detail) then you will see the real Lord Buddha.
If you read the book written by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, (he studied Buddhism for 5 years before finished writing the book ), It states that Prince Gautama was a member of Shakya kula and was a part of Sangha (A Republic System of that time). The Kolia and Shakya clans quarreled over the distribution of the water of the Rohini river and for opposing the war that was about to take place between them, Prince Gautama was given three options: abdication, confiscation of his and his families property, and ostracism on his family, He Chose abdication. He left home with the permission of his parents and wife Yashodhara, their son Rahul was only seven days old.
Dude totally abandoned his wife and child
No there is another reason
He told them he is out for a moment to buy cigarettes
Please be respectful
He meditate because he grew up in very rich household but seem unhappy of it all. He found a way to detach from earthly possessions and become part of the universe. Most people nowadays cannot do this type of meditation unless they are willing to give up their materialist possessions. It is hardand difficult ordeal someone will go through
In Buddhism, there is no place after death, one just reaches a state of Nirvana, there is no deity , it is just majorly a teachings of Enlightened person called Buddha
We did go perpetual cycle of reincarnation though.
There is, and it will depend on your karma. Also, you will be reincarnated endlessly until you attain Nirvana
It's pretty insane that in the age of information, people still have no idea what Buddhism is
So I take it you have not learned of the Bhavachakra? Might wanna read up a bit!
Read the tibetan book of the dead.
2600 years later and the teachings still rings clear & concise. Dharma will shine as long as sentient beings remain in cyclic existence. I bow to to you Tathagata !
It is said that the dhamma is apparent here and now and is timeless.
The Mara guy... there are supernatural beings in slavic mythology called Mara, they are scary demon like malicious beings yet usually small, often humanoid. And the word mara itself is closely related to imagination. Mara is modern stem for dreams as your wishes and what you experience during sleep same as in english, yet there are other kind of mara which english doesnt cover, it is a single word meaning 'bad dream' as in sleep. But it isnt as much of a 'bad dream' as it is borderline 'horror dream' of terror so that fits to the Mara described in this video in this aspect yet in a different way. And maras were our explanation for sleep paralysis as it was said that a mara sits on your chest so you cannot move, some slavic languages also called them the 'suffocators' who prevent you from breathing properly after you wake up since they push on your chest. There must be a link there.
Well India is land of dharmic religions...
One day, while still a young prince, Siddhartha Gautama wandered into the royal gardens. There, he found a farmer, exhausted, struggling to till the land beneath the hot sun. Unlike the servants who looked away, Siddhartha knelt beside the man, quietly taking the plow and helping him turn the soil. The prince's hands grew blistered, but for the first time, he felt a strange joy-one born not from royal luxury but from sharing another’s burden. It was in that garden that Siddhartha first glimpsed the power of compassion, a simple act that would shape his journey toward enlightenment.
Wow! Amazing video! Om mani peme hung
Amazing content. Great work man!

I love you buddha, many blessings to all

He can't because he had already attained Nirvana = Total salvation from the birth - death cycle - EMPTINESS/ NOTHINGNESS !

Once Buddha said, "Life is full of Sorrow and the last truth of life is Death."
I'm Nepali Buddhist Namo Buddhaye Everyone ☸️🪷🙏🙏🙏😇
I do respect Buddhism teaching as it teaches you to be kind and everything in life is based upon good n bad karma . I’m not going to lie coming from a background of Buddhism and growing up here almost all my life I still don’t understand all the praying and chanting in my own language or maybe is in another language but anyway I’m pretty sure kids who born here will have the same struggles and likely they will seek God as their faith bc at least they understanding what they praying for in any languages . K I know I will have a lot of backlash saying that but I’m not far off what going on in the minds of future generations
the chantings are in Pali language. They are not merely chanting but they are Buddha's teachings if you ever have a chance to ask the monks, they would explain it to you.
I like that Siddhartha was a really natural and almost materialistic man with very modern psychological ideas in his age.
And now, buddhist people bowing to golden Buddha statues and tell that once the Earth Goddess fought for Siddhartha against demons with her giant crocodile army under a supernatural tree.
An Error: Nepal was never a part of India. Other than that great video!
Great video! I'm an online English teacher and your videos are perfect for homework assignments-- they're interesting, informative, well-paced and clear pronunciation-- thank you! I'm curious, what software do you use for your illustrations? Is that from an artist or AI?
I remember reading that he actually died from an illness. Food poisoning or something … not sure. So my question is…did he believe and practiced Hinduism? Did he partake in such rituals and worship of deities? If so, how did it fit into his teaching?
There are different aspects of Hinduism and to simply consider it a religion is like trying to simply a complex affair in a very simple aspect. Yes, buddha in many ways was practising hinduism at a spiritual and philosophical level.
From the perspective of Theravada Buddhism - He is seen as an enlightened being whose supernatural powers are rarely discussed! He is viewed as a human made of flesh and blood!
From the perspective of Mahayana + Vajryana Buddhism - His supernatural - spiritual aspects are discussed where there is existence of various deities encountering with Buddha.
He died from food poisoning (Pork), He didn't worship any deities / Gods of Hinduism or any religion. But, ofcourse he knew about them as his fundemental education was Hinduism centric! He left his kingdom to find the answer to stop birth - death circle which he didn't get from the traditional Hindu teachings! Also, he worked with Hindu saints at the early stage of his life who used to practice extremist path. Later, he left them and went on meditating on his own alone in the jungle - realizing that the most suitable path is the Middle Path.
One thing to be cleared - he never said that he was any kind of god - he said he was a human just like us who had found the path of Nirvana - Emptiness!
After attaining Enlightenment, he started teaching about the rules and path to NIRVANA. So, all the chanting you hear in Buddhism are the direct speech/teaching/lesson from him! Even from a non-believer perspectives - those lessons are realistic and practical even in this modern era of human civilization.
he study a lot of teaching and philosophy include hinduism but he didn't worship anything but value the knowledge they offer
anyway later hinduism claim him to be avatar of their gods
which according to buddha teaching it maybe or maybe not true,
Once he became Lord Budhdha he gained all knowledges. Ananda thero didn't invite Lord Budhdha to live further at the right time , therefore Lord Budhdha decided to pass away . Thanks
He was a prophet of only one God. He was "enlightened" one day which means angel Gabriel came to hime as he came to prophets like Moses, Jesus, Npah, Muhammed. But Buddha's message got corrupted and turned into a different ideology.
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to an NDE...
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
It's very good video. Thank you very much 🙏❤️👍
In Myanmar Theravada Buddhism there's no Earth goddess who protects Buda from demons or something bad , Buddha touches the earth to be his witness and he wins all demon's things by his power (like မေတ္တာ )
Story is so greate ❤
Question!🙋
Is there some kind of hierarchy in Buddhahood?
I mean the Prince became the first Buddha and all but i mean he wasn't the only one right? TanSan Zang and Sun Wukong ascended to Buddha themselves after the journey to the west. Sure they're had a different kind of Title of Buddha but still those two have it.
He was the only one in this period of time, the other stories saying there were many Buddhas are just part of east and south east asian converted Buddhism, A Buddha is only one person at a time, there can't be many Buddhas at the same time
@@toyouryouth thats right,altough Bodhisattvas can decide to not become completly enlightned ( actual buddhas) in order to help others reach enlightment
The word buddha came from sanskrit word buddhi, means wisdom, understanding or intellect. Buddha means one who achieved true knowledge. Buddha has not achieved knowledge in one life time. There are many lifetimes of various animals, birds and insects form took him to achieve human form. All of those life forms are mentioned in Jatak katha in Buddhist literature. Buddha is not a name of person, rather it is a state one achieves through hardwork in right direction. So it might possible that TanSan Zang and Sun Wukong would be earlier lifetimes of Buddha before enlightenment...
I think there can be many Buddhas at any one time. It's just that we discourage any particular individuals from claiming the status, not least because of the danger of self-deception (enlightenment is a process, not a final destination), but also because it could cause the fragmentation of the Sangha. If different people we're all claiming the authority of the Buddha, and each was teaching even only slightly different practices, then there is the possibility of discord and schism within the community, which would be damaging to this third jewel and its capacity to help us.
The Sangha is like a wing that helps all of us feathers to keep from being blown about by the winds of fear and desire; it brings us into a unity of practice that helps us to help each other. When one falters, there's usually someone else who isn't so much at that time and can help us back to our feet, so to speak. When united in a wing, the feathers' only limit is the sky!
It's similar to the concept of the mind of Christ in Christianity, or the Oneness of Allah and the seal of prophethood in Islam. These are absolute and non-negotiable concepts in their respective traditions that provide unity and cohesion in their communities, thereby helping those who practice in those contexts.
To reject these kinds of concepts in their traditional contexts is like breaking the cups that contain our wine, so that they then spill that wine, making it useless to everyone. Cups are merely vessels; it's the wine that matters. But cups are important nonetheless because without one all we have is a puddle!
And don't try to drink from more than one cup at a time! Choose a cup and drink from it. Just respect the fact that other cups exist!
I'll just copy the definition from the wikipedia article on Buddhahood:
Buddhahood is the state of an awakened being, who, having found the path of cessation of dukkha[4] ("suffering", as created by attachment to desires and distorted perception and thinking) is in the state of "no-more-Learning".[5][6][7]
There is a broad spectrum of opinion on the nature of Buddhahood, its universality, and the method of attaining Buddhahood among the various schools of Buddhism. The level to which this manifestation requires ascetic practices varies from none at all to an absolute requirement, dependent on doctrine. While most schools accept the bodhisattva ideal, in which it takes aeons to reach Buddhahood, not all agree that everyone can become a Buddha, or that it must take aeons.
In Theravada Buddhism, Buddha refers to one who has reached awakening (bodhi) through their own efforts and insight, without a teacher to point out the dharma. A samyaksambuddha re-discovers the truths and the path to awakening on their own, and then teaches these to others after his awakening. A pratyekabuddha also reaches nirvana through his own efforts, but is unable or unwilling to teach the dharma to others. An arhat needs to follow the teaching of a Buddha to attain Nirvana, and may also preach the dharma after attaining nirvana.[8] In one instance the term buddha is also used in Theravada to refer to all who attain Nirvana, using the term sāvakabuddha to designate an arhat, someone who depends on the teachings of a Buddha to attain Nirvana.[9] In this broader sense it is equivalent to the arhat.
In Mahāyāna Buddhism meanwhile, a Buddha is seen as a transcendent being who has extensive powers, such as omniscience, omnipotence, and whose awakened wisdom (buddha-jñana) is all pervasive.[10][11] This view can be found in numerous Mahāyāna sources, like the Avatamsaka sutra.[11]
Thanks for sharing team 😊
Thanks for the video
Wow, the moment at 07:20 when Siddhartha faces Mara's temptations is incredibly powerful. It shows the strength of the mind when it is fully determined and focused. Truly inspiring!

Ascetic is pronounced a-SE-tic, not a-SEE-tic
Reject all other religions of war and violence embrace Buddhism
I don't think there was any country called India or Nepal back in the day. So it should be "Lumbini now in Nepal".
Knowledgeable video
I would consider myself Catholic but I don't like putting labels on God. If you are good to others that's really all that matters.
I dont believe in jesus
But i believe in buddha
God The Father
God The Son
God The Holy Spirit
I believe in both ❤❤
I like the legend that there was a snake that protected Guatama from evil during his meditation to achieve enlightenment. Most myths and stories portray serpents as evil or malice, but this is one exception that shows a different side to the animal
Gautam Siddharth was the 28th Tathagata
He himself was from that family that worshipped Kakusandha Buddha, Koṇāgamana Buddha and Kassapa Buddha
Buddhism is an Arya dharma (Moksh-believing religion)
Buddha is the smartest human being on Earth (in a modern team)
Buddhism is all about self improvements not other like religions, worshiping a manmade god.
Stranger, if you're reading this, it seems we were meant to cross paths. I wish you and your family a heart free from sorrow, a mind unburdened by worry, a life brimming with joy, prosperity in all endeavors, and enduring blessings.
So many stories but basically the theme
We are buddha. Everyday, hope mind&positive mind are with us in any situation 🙏Save calmness everyday in buddha heart.
