MAY THAY (THICH NHAT HANH) REST IN NIRVANA (02/23/2023 12 am, Hue, Vietnam) Today Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh, passed away. I am so blessed to have had time with him as my teacher during my monastic years. He helped me leave the hell of addiction and his teachings on death helped me completely release my suicidal thoughts. We are all so blessed to encounter his teachings and I am very grateful for the technology that will allow such a large number of his teachings to continue on indefinitely. If Thay has touched your life in a meaningful way, please leave a comment here. No coming, no going. No birth, no death. I love you Thay🙏🙏🙏
yes he is a hero. Very educative. 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.

My father died this year and it killed me because I never got to say goodbye. This helped me grow a little more spiritually today. Him and Eckhart Tolle are truly my mentors for spirituality.
I have never thought that such deep and difficult existential issues can be ever explained to children and at the same time be completely understood.This humble spirit whose human name is Thich Nhat Hanh has not only persuaded me that it is possible but he has also convinced me that the 'divine' itself has found expression through him to manifest its wisdom.

@@robertjsmith yes, I think that's what she was asking: "does the self live after death in some other realm or incarnation?" But he answered philosophically. Brilliantly, but philosophically.
I think what she meant was "will my self live after death in some other realm or dimension?" And I think his answer was basically "No". Brilliant answer but pretty indirect. Bill Burr said: "remember where you were before you were born? That's where you go after death" -- or something like that. Guess there's only one way to really find out. Live free or die. For death is not the worst of fates. Death is true freedom from tyranny.
Rest in peace, my friend! “This body of mine will disintegrate, but my actions will continue me… If you think I am only this body, then you have not truly seen me. When you look at my friends, you see my continuation. When you see someone walking with mindfulness and compassion, you know he is my continuation. I don’t see why we have to say “I will die,” because I can already see myself in you, in other people, and in future generations. Even when the cloud is not there, it continues as snow or rain. It is impossible for the cloud to die. It can become rain or ice, but it cannot become nothing. The cloud does not need to have a soul in order to continue. There’s no beginning and no end. I will never die. There will be a dissolution of this body, but that does not mean my death. I will continue, always.” -Thay
I pray you all find the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't believe the lie that there is no life after death or the lie of reincarnation. God told us in Isaiah 43 10 Behold, before Me there was no God, neither will there be any God after Me. Do you also know what Jesus said? Jesus said no one, not a single soul, goes to God but by Me. Jesus said I Am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. You cannot have peace with God without the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus died in the sins of the world and rose from the dead, so that we could be justified and washed by His blood. And yet you choose to follow buddha? Jesus said not a single work I speak comes from Me but from God the Father. The teachings of Jesus came from the mouth of God and no other. I pray you repent and walk in the Lord Jesus Christ and turn from the lies of buddhism so you don't suffer the everlasting gates of hell. Jesus loves you so much He wants Himself in your life and I pray you follow the True Everlasting God for His love for you is Greater than all understanding.
@@likenl4508 Why do you assume that your religion is the right one? Just because it’s yours? Very disrespectful to come into the comments of a video that’s helping people just to push your views on them. Seems you could learn from your Christ a bit more about compassion.
A yes or no would suffice. He speaks like a politician, lots and lots of words but never gives a straight answer. What the students were wondering was if consciousness exists after the body dies. Does the “self” live after the body dies. All he had to say was “I don’t know”
He does speak like a politician. 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.

Finally I understood it when you got to the water/wave metaphor and found it extremely, powerfully moving and inspirational. Perhaps, unless this is a massive oversimplification, an example of what is often misunderstood as the idea of reincarnation. Thank you anyway, again, as always (I watch a lot of your videos and have recently become a subscriber) for your wonderful insights.

partial and imperfect transcript Where is life, there is death; and where there is death, there is life. This requires some meditation. In Buddhism we speak of interbeing. It means that we cannot be by yourself alone. You have to be with the other side. It’s like the left and the right. If the right is not there, the left cannot be. It’s not possible to take the left away from the right. The right and the left want to be together, because without the other, you cannot be. Like above and below. Above cannot be there if there is no below. That is interbeing. They have to be there at the same time. So when God said “let the light be,” and the light said “I have to wait for darkness to manifest together,” because light and darkness they inter-are. And god said, darkness is already there. So the light said, “In that case I am already there.” Good and evil. Before and after. You and I. I cannot be there without you. I cannot be there, the lotus flower cannot be there. There is no happiness without suffering. There is no life without death. And when a biologist observes the body of a human being, they see that life and death happen at the same time in the body. In this moment, thousands and thousands of cells are dying. When you scratch your skin, many dry cells fall down; they have died. Many cells die every moment of our daily life. And because you are so busy, you don’t notice that you are dying. If they die, you die. You think you don’t die yet, you have to wait 50-70 years. But that’s not true. Death is happening in the here and the now. And because the dying of the cells, the birth of other cells is possible. So many cells are born in the present moment, and we don’t have the time to welcome them. So the fact is that scientifically speaking, you can see birth and death happening in the present moment. So you experience dying and being born in every moment. Before you were conceived, you had already been there in your mother and your father in another form. So there is no birth, and there is no ending. So when we know that birth and death are together, we are not afraid of dying. La vie avec la mort. You have to observe life during your daily life, and you see birth and death inter-are in everything. Trees, animals, weather, matter, energy. Scientists have already pronounced there is no birth and death. There is only transformation. So transformation is possible, is real, and birth and death are not real. What you call birth and death are transformation. Chemical reaction. You bring substances together, and that makes a transformation. You think substances have vanished, but when you look deeply, the substance is still there in another form. When you look at the sky, you don’t see a cloud anymore. You think the cloud has died. But it has simply transformed into rain. There is no birth and death, only continuation. When you see there is no birth and no death, you are not afraid of dying. This is an invitation to lead our life more deeply, with more concentration, to be more in touch deeply with what is happening, with the true nature of reality. This is what is Nirvana in Buddhism. No birth and no death. A wave is afraid of dying. But if the wave realizes she is water, she is not afraid. Going up, she is water. Going down, she is water. So it’s very important that the wave does some meditation and realizes that she is wave but at the same time she is water, and when she knows she is water, she is no longer afraid of dying. She feels wonderful going up, she feels wonderful going down. A cloud is like that. The wave does not go and look for water. She doesn’t have to go and search for water because she is water in the here and now. The same is true with god. You don’t have to look for god. God is our true nature. You don’t have to look for nirvana. Nirvana is our ground.
All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...
@@dreamsofturtles1828 + Great analogy but let me ask you this... do you think she heard such chimes or had such revelations after she passed? Probably not.
I think there is no YES or NO for this question, the answer is that there is only the TRANSFORMATION. Like he said "there is no birth or death. what we called birth and death, they are just a form of transformation". He has already given the answer to those kids if you listen carefully. :D
I agree with you .I think there are worldly truths and supramundane truth.worldly truth is like classical physics and supermundane truth is like quantum mechanics. But Buddha using meditation as a microscope realised the supramandane truth but we ordinary beings wouldn't understand it.just like Richard feyman who says if you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't.maybe this truth is beyond thoughts.

I don’t understand why people are confused about his answer. I think it is very clear that there is no life and no death. Life and death happen at the same time. We are here even before the day we are born and as we are born and live we are dying and being reborn every day (cells in our body die and regenerate). Since there is NO LIFE and NO DEATH, there is NO Such thing as life after death. There is no beginning and no ending. Life is a cycle. Hope that helps
@@bebedraws1768 -- I had the same reaction. My notion is that individual consciousness dies when the body/brain dies. But I figure Thich Nhat Hanh was making a different point.
Thank you Thay for sharing your wisdom, kindness and heart with us. You have helped me spiritually and emotionally in so many ways, ever since i first discovered you over 6 years ago and fresh in recovery from over 20+ years of active addiction to drink and drugs. I owe a large part of my sobriety to you! Physically you may no longer be with us but you live in every single person who has taken comfort from your teachings. Namaste.
When I think of the ocean, it is me, when I am the wave inside the ocean I rejoice within myself( because, I am a wave that is also an ocean). This morning I asked myself"how can I remain an ocean when there are so many waves not knowing that they are also an ocean? How can I keep my eyes open, when so many eyes are closed? And a voice within answered "You are not only an ocean, you are also, those waves and those eyes, both open and closed.

“Details take away from experience” good point. However in this case even ppl who have the details don’t believe it. It “ will be” for those who believe. Ani-matter is waiting for those who don’t. @Daniel Paulson
I would say that it appears that energy can not be created or destroyed but ironically it appears that everything is made of imagination and even energy only exists in the imagination of the one who is aware of it. I think it's the one who can't be created or destroyed and the energy that we see in the one's imagination represents this Truth. Imagination would seem to be the word and the waters which it is spoken across is the mind of God. Jesus is the light of God, I think, created by the word of God. Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life and the key to the Kingdom of God which is Love and the power of Creation. It seems that the closest anyone can get to going to Hell is to live in the hope that someone else will. We have to forgive those who know not what they do before we can ascend from the cross. I'm pretty sure that's correct and it's the sentiment reflected in the Sound of Silence, Stairway to heaven and Sympathy for the Devil to cite a few Spiritual writings and I think they said something about it in the Vedas. 🙏
I think if you ask a Tibetan Buddhist, he will just say "yes". I think if Thich Nhat Hanh believed "yes", he would say so. Instead, all this sounds like a qualifying "no". Like, "no, but really what you think of as life is not so simple". That's fine, but that's still a no, and it's a different answer from Tibetan Buddhism. Which - one may want to ask - why is that the case? Do Tibbetan Buddhists have different traditions or have they had different experiences?
Thich Nhat Nanh’s perspective is deep and touches the ultimate dimension of life. He said life energy follows the laws of energy. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; thus, we are still around after we died physically. A cloud never dies; instead, it changes only its form of existence. So do we.
This sweet young Girl remained focused on Thay through this whole time, truly beautiful because they needed each other for Wisdom to come through, Thank You to Thay & Thank You for You Dear Soul. ✨ To ✨
That was a great answer to a question that wasn't asked. My guess is that the young lady was merely asking if, after the body dies, does a person's consciousness/personality continue.

But you have to accept impermanence, for that to make you happy. That's the problem. It's not a happy thing, really. Those little girls want to know if THEY will continue to be conscious after death. But if they change into something else, than is it THEM that is conscious? No. It's only their essence, their KNOWING-NESS that is; the personality may in fact be dead. I don't think that's any good thing, or any comfort, because I hate the idea of impermanence. I'm not ready to accept that, or be happy about that. If (insert my name here) doesn't get to go on and experience things after death, then I'm not happy. I don't care if my undifferentiated, collective consciousness manifests as something else. Frankly I think that sucks.
Thankyou so much for the question and answer. This helped me a lot. Although being born as a Buddhist, I have always had that doubt in the back of my mind, bothering me. I just simply couldn't convince myself that there's a 'literal' rebirth. After not being able to find a satisfying answer, I looked and thought deeply about it myself, I realised something very similar to this. (Correct me if I have the wrong idea) I feel like in Buddhism, the idea if birth, death and rebirth means the change, transformation and difference in our character and life everyday, within our lifetime. I am now not the person who I was before I watched this, I will not be the same person tomorrow as I am today. It's because the constant exposure to different elements in life changes us, everyday- everyminute. Both physically and psychologically. This might be the birth and death that Buddhism points at. These changes bring us suffering, good and bad, the idea of karma. And living in such conditions for a long time is hard to anyone I.e samsara? Therefore, the enlightenment we search in Buddhism is a life that is well lived without suffering too much. And it's achieved through controlling our minds. Understanding deeply about life and it's nature. Neither weighing towards too much or too little. Thus the middle path. It's a life that was good for ourselves as well as the world. It's a life where at the end of our lifetime, will be one that is not to feel regret of. It's a one that we'll be satisfied and happy to leave behind. Passing away peacefully to the unknown is be nirvana. This is what I have realised. And the answer from the video enhanced my understanding and ideas. This is probably the only answer that I found to be logical and sensible that aligns with my feelings. Thankyou again.
I asked God for a sign today and something made me go to this Buddhist teacher my favorite one and he explained just as I explained to someone in the forums(comments)🙏😇🤔🙂

Thay has transferred the deep meanings by Buddha into the modern knowledge. It is much understandable and perceivable that enables more people love and practise Buddhism.
This doesn’t explain how consciousness appears to begin at birth and end at death. The children weren’t asking whether the molecules in their bodies exist after death; they were asking whether their consciousness survives.
Who is Sandeep Maheshwari. 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.

behind everything I know, there's a me knowing it. Im the only constant between all thoughts and experiences, shouting ego at me won't make this knower go away. she's only asking if that chain of knowing continues to know itself after the body ceases.
To all the people saying he didn't answer. If you listen closely, he says yes. But he doesn't want you to intellectualize it. Birth is not really the first moment you were born, and death is not the last moment of life, this transformation was present long before this birth and will be long after our death.
Of course that seems like the logical answer she was looking for. But what he was explaining was that from his Buddhist perspective, the question itself is wrong. She is already dead whilst being alive. Likewise, she is alive after what she perceives as, "death." The method of thinking she offers is in itself an inaccurate way of interpreting her life. She's asking the question from her religious/scientific perspective, that being that we were "born" when we were either conceived or physically birthed into the world. From the mindset of the practicing Buddhist, this question cannot be answered as such because the mentality accepts a falsehood from the onset. I think that's why he was trying to use metaphors to explain his perspective.
@thomas seven Nope. Consciousness is not a function of the brain but what animated the brain. Many have experienced consciousness without detectable brain activity.
Is there life after death ? He did not really answer the question ! What is life ? What is death ? In Buddhism there is birth , there must be death. But, birth does not have to there after death. If there is no birth, there is no death. Life is in between them. Buddhist sages are no longer subjected to rebirth after they died ! Birth and death can not exist at the same time ! If you ask me what is death ? My understanding of death is the cessation of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, body sensation, the brain of this body. Death does not belong to any being. No one dies ! No one has ever lived ! The five aggregates can not die !
Yes, this does teach us to live more deeply with consciousness. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar.

I have a lot of respect for his wisdom but no one has really been able to answer the question of life after physical death. No one really knows. There is no way to know until we actually go thru it. Every religious book or philosophical theory differs on the topic. All science can confirm is how the body deteriorates after death or how a life is created/birthed. That's it.
You are not only the body, or the mind, or the ego. You are everything combine. If your body is made up of 65% of water. Then aren't you 65% of the whole ocean itself? So in a sense, you are not "inside" the universe. You "are" the universe who is experiencing itself, in a different perspective such as "me", "you" or "this car" or "that car". Everything is literally one single being. You can call it "god" or "the source" or "the universe" or "all that is", there are many names. God is not a seperated being from you. The real you, which is the source of all things, don't die, It's more like you can't die, you just change forms. Can you really get rid of "water"? When water evaporated, it became air, when air became saturated, it became cloud, when cloud is condensed, it start raining down water, and the whole cycle repeated. You can never really completely get rid of "water" out of existence, because it will just change form no matter what you do with it. You are in fact, the same way. You don't die, you just recycle. That's where the idea of reincarnation are made. . Even if we are all are just one singularity being at our core, we are living in a state of seperation , or duality , such as: I am seperated from you, you are seperated from me. When we each have individual thoughts, that is how realities are formed, when one thought collide with another. Imagine if you live in a state of singularity with unity consciousness. In this singularity consciousness, you are living as if you are "everything at once". When you live in this state of singularity instead of duality, there wont be any individual thoughts, there wont be "my thoughts", there won't be "your thoughts", it will just be "our thoughts" always. There won't be any events happening because it won't be any individual "thoughts" collide with one another to make an "event". A whole relationship of 20 years would just happen in a snap of a finger because "time" or duration of manifesation will not exist in this unity consciousness. Unity consciousness, can be called the ending journey of the soul, or "death" for some people. It's a journey of going back to the source. When you are living in "unity consciousness", there will just be an eternal awareness of nothingness. Do you call it death? It's up to your judgement. Nowday many people talk about how they want to get out of reincarnation cycle because it's full of suffering. Do you want to live an eternal life of nothingness? or do you rather live to experience "life", to love, to laugh, to suffer, and to growth, just so you can die and repeat it again. To live life in this state of duality, or seperation is a blessing of itself. :)
+The Sleuth's Report what are you even saying mate.. first of all you said you don't believe in life after death, yet you go looking for your father who have passed away..? Second, when did i say god is nothingness? I clearly said that we are god, which is we are everything combine. You're proprably confused with the singularity consciousness that i stated. So you already know that we everything combine at our core, correct? But we are living in a 3 dimensional state, which is im seperated from you and you are seperated from me, but we are one at our core, so what do you think would happen if we are living as if we are all one? Aka the singularity consciousness? Life wouldn't happen with the singularity consciousness. Life only works with the duality consciousness that we are living right now, where 2 seperate thoughts form into a reality. I've astral travel my whole life so idk how that would help my claim but theres that, if you don't know what it is, just look it up.
+The Sleuth's Report oh no haha, what i was saying is, some people who is deep into the spiritual life, they think the world is full of suffering, so they want to stop the reincarnation cycle. If you stop the reincarnation cycle, which is your energy stop recycling, meaning you'll be living in the singularity consciousness, you'll be everything combine, which mean you won't be able to experience life, emotions, growth or anything like that. Where if you are living in duality, you get to experience what life has to offer, you get to experience emotions and all that good stuff. Singularity consciousness = you'll be nothing but an awareness.
+The Sleuth's Report I've done this in astral travelling and lucid dreaming actually. I don't know where we go when we die, but if it's to the astral world in astral travelling, life is much more fun there. Maybe when we die, we go to different dimensions where duality consciousness still applies, who knows. But to go back to the state of singularity is when your consciousness merge with the "source" or "god", but when does that happen, i have no idea. I've read some books that said it's the final lesson for the soul to go back to the source but yeah, i guess that's beyond our 3D perception right now
Stopping the reincarnation cycle not necessarily meaning living in singularity consciousness in Mahayana Buddha Dharma.People believe that many chan or Zen masters have already reached the stage of Bodhisatava meaning they have already stopped the rebirth cycle and which will lead you to the pure land.However in Vajrayana tradition if you have not achieved the status of higher lamas or Rinpoche you will go through the life cycle or rebirth continuously in different form depending on your karma .Only higher lamas and Rinpoche can be reborn as reincarnated being or enlighten being.
Well i put it this way we are a thought form inhabiting a material body, we are all part of the life force called god =intelligent energy --most people cant remember the "place" we came from to experience life as a human, we are all heading toward enlightment thru different bodys and experiences =love and peace and true happiness!!!
I think the question was referring to the survival of the personality or the body,as that is the level of understanding of the young girl. If you dont know you are in fact "water" or Awareness, not a person, however old you are then his answer would have no meaning . However the wave and water analogy was very good .A wave is the same substance as the Ocean but a different shape,it is neither born or dies , water just has a little movement for a while and it thinks it is a wave, a person. A person is just an idea in the mind based on life conditioning ,a mind construct.
He didn't say anything like, "Nobody here knows". You may think that he doesn't in fact know but that is not what he said. He said, birth and death are illusions that are a part of a single life, to paraphrase. 🤗
I'm pretty sure he said, Grandma is in the ocean and he thinks the being and the not being are two sides of the same coin or as I would term a single Life. Maybe we should all watch the video again with these questions in mind and meet back here to compare notes 🤔
He did answer it. So here is another way of putting it. The question IMPLIES a false perception..that there is a "you" that is separate, distinct..a something or someone that is independent of everything else. Death is, therefore, overcome by SEEING that YOU were not born and YOU will not die. you have always existed in some form..maybe a cloud, a raindrop, a flower, minerals. There is no YOU to point to and say "that is I..that is the separate and distinct self I want to know continues after death"
Merci. Many thanks to plum village and the honorable teacher. So, to those who have forgotten their question, ‘is there life after death’. Maybe this is the short answer: where there is life, there is death, both exist at the same time, yet ultimately life and death do not exist, there is no separation.
There is no honor in error this man is spewing. There is no death because Jesus destroyed it those who proclaim Jesus as God never die. This man steals answers inverts God’s ideas without giving God credit. Hell to this MAN. GOD ABOVE MAN.
Admittedly, this question has no easy answer - and all credit to the young ladies for remaining so focused when so lost. However, this is one of the questions upon which Buddha maintained his Noble Silence - I think it should be left at that.
All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...
@Daniel Paulson God of Abraham? I don't know what you are talking about... Are far as I have understood you could call God Brahman as well as Tao or The Universal One as Walter Russell called it.
@@peaceonearth351 so we have allways been and for ever will be yes there is life after death I will never forget the time this man gave his life for us... His name is Jesus

How? It set off my death anxiety more knowing I’ll die and live on in the memories of others but will never see know or experience anything again. If this man is correct then I think it’s a horrible thought and would rather have a blind faith or something else 😂
Perfect example of mindless nonsense! Incredible sleight of hand semantics. Never did address the real question!! Is there life after the time, space, matter continuem. That is the real question that Buddhism totally ignores!!!!!!
The answer to these deep questions cannot be understood with “science” or “logic”. Spirituality is experimental learning. What one feels cannot be taught to another like a science lesson. One has to come to a certain mental stage to comprehend and not everyone is in those states.
buddhism states reality is a projection of our mental afflictions, desires, and past karma. buddhism believes in rebirth, that we have been in samsara for an infinite period of time. also, buddhism doesn't believe in a "self" in that there is no "I-ness" in consciousness just karma and mental afflictions. this is where people start to misinterpret buddhist teachings. we are simply a process, one with everything (or, the rest of the process) essentially. once you realize the true nature of mind, which is emptiness and void of self, you will thus be liberated aka reach nirvana. "what happens after death" is not a good question, its better to ask what happens during life. and buddhism doesn't "ignore" this question, they simply view it as a silly question that's not worth addressing and only causes further suffering. i think you are trying to understand what "nirvana" is, but the truth is that it's beyond the concepts of space, time, matter, dimensions, existence, non existence, etc. it's unfathomable from an intellectual standpoint, just how most buddhist concepts can only be understood from an experiential basis. no buddhist can tell you what its like to not exist, or even to exist, i mean just think about it: can you explain to me what the color red is like? can you tell me what an orange tastes like? in neuroscience these examples of "felt conscious experience" would be considered "qualia". but just like you can't explain these experiences, you can't explain or fully comprehend the state of realization or awakening
Jesus said: If your leaders say to you, "Look! The Kingdom is in the sky!" Then the birds will be there before you are. Rather, the Kingdom is within you and it is outside you. They asked him: When is the Kingdom coming? He replied: It is not coming in an easily observable manner. People will not be saying, "Look, it's over here" or "Look, it's over there." Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is already spread out on the earth, and people aren't aware of it. - Gospel of Thomas
I hate what God hates. When people think they know anything about life and death and exclude God from the context that is denial. This guru is not proclaiming Christ as the ultimate source of information. This guru thinks HE KNOWS. That’s extremely arrogant. He needs to give God credit where’s its due. Most of the world hates and denies Jesus you are in the dark. @Sammy Scotch

Rudolf Steiner wrote an excellent little book, actually a series of lectures on the topic of what specifically happens after death, called, 'The Inner Nature of Man: Our Life Between Death and Rebirth.'
What is alive eating flesh with flies? ◄ Colossians 3:3 ► For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Seeing that you were dead [al-Baqarah 2:28] He who is forgetful of the Self, mistaking the physical body for it. Ramana Maharshi ----- Is the world real? So a genius can work out the dead? Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Albert Einstein. ------ However: (Which see) (Matthew 2:18) "Nothing is as it seems. Nor is it otherwise." Lankavatara Sutra - Mahāyāna Buddhism There is no greater mystery than this; that being the reality we seek to gain reality. Sri Ramana Maharshi Plato’s cave analogy. Inprisoned inside the cave (Us), prisoners see the shadows on the wall and mistakenly view the shadows as reality. Greek word "cosmos" Meaning "In The World" functioning apart from God And according to Early Christian gnosticism - "Seraphims" Keter - Crown Divine Plan ~ The Angel of Death. (Read John 7:7) Satan is the ruler of this "cosmos" (John 12:31; 16:11; 1 John 5:19) Islam. The Surah takes its title from the sentence, Wa anzalna' l-hadida, of verse 25 The iron Hinduism. (Caught up in Samsara - Maya ~ The Malevolant illusion) ( Sanskrit: “magic”) In which this universe like a snake on a rope imagined appears.
He didn't answer the question really. Don't get me wrong - I think he was a wonderful individual. But I don't think any living person actually knows the answer to this question. It doesn't matter whether you are a Buddhist Monk or not. The girls were asking "is there life after death", not "can I see myself in other things" or some such similar question. Life after death has no meaning unless there is a continuity of awareness on the part of the dying being.
It's not possible to understand if you think dualistic that life and death are separate things but like he said they go hand to hand and there is continuation.
I have researched (in a non-professionaly way) a lot about life and death or life after death in the experience of many people, and based on what I have partially concluded, I can say that the preacher above has described the flow of "being" from one physical form to another. And to that I think he is correct that our consciousness flow from one physical being to another physical being (or maybe even metaphysical being) and in those "lives" we don't really remember anything about the former, nor do we know the next, as if our selves are gone after one life. But what he did not point is that before we transition from one physical(or metaphysical) life we go through another phase/place, and in that place and time we remember and realize exactly everything. And that our basic consciousness have always been the same through out all those forms, and all those times. To some religion this phase/place is called being in heaven, although most religions do not believe that after heaven or before being born on Earth there is something else.
@@123pripri Yes, I think there is some evidence of a complete form of consciousness and knowledge outside life. This seems to be what NDEs allude to. There's a different way of visualising that though. Instead of me traveling from life A to divine consciousness to life B to divine consciousness to life C... etc.... we can imagine all those lives, life A, life B, life C... expressed radially from the centre (divine consciousness) and individually pointing back in towards the centre. In that sense, there isn't a jumping "from life to life" in a reincarnation type sense, as there is no need. Divine consciousness already is all of those lives expressed simultaneously. Moreover, if as life "B" I truly have no memories of life "A" then it doesn't seem to make much sense to say that "I" was that previous life unless the "I" spoken of is again, simply, completed or divine consciousness, which returns us to the same picture I just described. I think the idea of serial lives and the Buddhist idea of impermanence too are sponsored by our human experience of linear time, which doesn't appear to be the way things are under the surface.
@@greensleeves7165 Good insight there, which I will not really add on further, only that (just in theory / 2nd hand knowledge through my research) the best way to realize "these things" is actually through meditation and mindfulness, which apparently the preacher above has been doing most of his life, and "these things" are not really best understood just by speculation, theory or even research.
Love this man. Can somebody help please. What about consciousness though? Our physical bodies may continue as part of the cosmic body like waves and clouds do but what about the consciousness within our bodies? I think that’s where the fear of death comes from, losing the consciousness that allows us to experience. Please could somebody advise?
@@lisamac8503 thank you. Since I wrote this comment a year ago I now understand that I am infinite consciousness and that I am eternal. I cannot lose what I am. After this body dies, I remain. Thank you x
Is there life after. SURE But there is a problem and after one die as a human the next birth is no more human. The next birth fall into lower realm they are Hell realm, animal realm, hungry being realm, ghost and demon realm. That is what was told by the Buddha. BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI
I had to literally pause the video some time to just understand what he is saying lol but overall I get what he is trying to say! Very deep and wise man!
But when you die today , everything about you and the knowledge acquired in this life , your name and gender will cease immediately. Nobody knows your next life including yourself. Be kind and enjoy your life to the fullest and also be generous to your parents everyday. Do not worry about afterlife but do well in this life by helping people.Your contribution to society is most important than personal meditation.
Basis of Budhism is reincarnation and law of karma . The necessity of Budhism is impermanence , sufferings and concept of no soul . Budhism guide us to remain in human world and heavens until final stage is attained 🙏🙏🙏

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 have never thought that such deep and difficult existential issues can be ever explained to children and at the same time be completely understood.This humble spirit whose human name is Thich Nhat Hanh has not only persuaded me that it is possible but he has also convinced me that the 'divine' itself has found expression through him to manifest its wisdom.

@@robertjsmith yes, I think that's what she was asking: "does the self live after death in some other realm or incarnation?" But he answered philosophically. Brilliantly, but philosophically.
I think what she meant was "will my self live after death in some other realm or dimension?" And I think his answer was basically "No". Brilliant answer but pretty indirect. Bill Burr said: "remember where you were before you were born? That's where you go after death" -- or something like that. Guess there's only one way to really find out. Live free or die. For death is not the worst of fates. Death is true freedom from tyranny.

“This body of mine will disintegrate, but my actions will continue me… If you think I am only this body, then you have not truly seen me. When you look at my friends, you see my continuation. When you see someone walking with mindfulness and compassion, you know he is my continuation. I don’t see why we have to say “I will die,” because I can already see myself in you, in other people, and in future generations.
Even when the cloud is not there, it continues as snow or rain. It is impossible for the cloud to die. It can become rain or ice, but it cannot become nothing. The cloud does not need to have a soul in order to continue. There’s no beginning and no end. I will never die. There will be a dissolution of this body, but that does not mean my death.
I will continue, always.”

partial and imperfect transcript
Where is life, there is death; and where there is death, there is life. This requires some meditation. In Buddhism we speak of interbeing. It means that we cannot be by yourself alone. You have to be with the other side. It’s like the left and the right. If the right is not there, the left cannot be. It’s not possible to take the left away from the right. The right and the left want to be together, because without the other, you cannot be. Like above and below. Above cannot be there if there is no below. That is interbeing. They have to be there at the same time. So when God said “let the light be,” and the light said “I have to wait for darkness to manifest together,” because light and darkness they inter-are. And god said, darkness is already there. So the light said, “In that case I am already there.” Good and evil. Before and after. You and I. I cannot be there without you. I cannot be there, the lotus flower cannot be there. There is no happiness without suffering. There is no life without death. And when a biologist observes the body of a human being, they see that life and death happen at the same time in the body. In this moment, thousands and thousands of cells are dying. When you scratch your skin, many dry cells fall down; they have died. Many cells die every moment of our daily life. And because you are so busy, you don’t notice that you are dying. If they die, you die. You think you don’t die yet, you have to wait 50-70 years. But that’s not true. Death is happening in the here and the now. And because the dying of the cells, the birth of other cells is possible. So many cells are born in the present moment, and we don’t have the time to welcome them. So the fact is that scientifically speaking, you can see birth and death happening in the present moment. So you experience dying and being born in every moment. Before you were conceived, you had already been there in your mother and your father in another form. So there is no birth, and there is no ending. So when we know that birth and death are together, we are not afraid of dying. La vie avec la mort. You have to observe life during your daily life, and you see birth and death inter-are in everything. Trees, animals, weather, matter, energy. Scientists have already pronounced there is no birth and death. There is only transformation. So transformation is possible, is real, and birth and death are not real. What you call birth and death are transformation. Chemical reaction. You bring substances together, and that makes a transformation. You think substances have vanished, but when you look deeply, the substance is still there in another form. When you look at the sky, you don’t see a cloud anymore. You think the cloud has died. But it has simply transformed into rain. There is no birth and death, only continuation. When you see there is no birth and no death, you are not afraid of dying. This is an invitation to lead our life more deeply, with more concentration, to be more in touch deeply with what is happening, with the true nature of reality. This is what is Nirvana in Buddhism. No birth and no death. A wave is afraid of dying. But if the wave realizes she is water, she is not afraid. Going up, she is water. Going down, she is water. So it’s very important that the wave does some meditation and realizes that she is wave but at the same time she is water, and when she knows she is water, she is no longer afraid of dying. She feels wonderful going up, she feels wonderful going down. A cloud is like that. The wave does not go and look for water. She doesn’t have to go and search for water because she is water in the here and now. The same is true with god. You don’t have to look for god. God is our true nature. You don’t have to look for nirvana. Nirvana is our ground.

All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...

I think there is no YES or NO for this question, the answer is that there is only the TRANSFORMATION. Like he said "there is no birth or death. what we called birth and death, they are just a form of transformation". He has already given the answer to those kids if you listen carefully. :D
I agree with you .I think there are worldly truths and supramundane truth.worldly truth is like classical physics and supermundane truth is like quantum mechanics. But Buddha using meditation as a microscope realised the supramandane truth but we ordinary beings wouldn't understand it.just like Richard feyman who says if you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't.maybe this truth is beyond thoughts.

I don’t understand why people are confused about his answer. I think it is very clear that there is no life and no death. Life and death happen at the same time. We are here even before the day we are born and as we are born and live we are dying and being reborn every day (cells in our body die and regenerate). Since there is NO LIFE and NO DEATH, there is NO Such thing as life after death. There is no beginning and no ending. Life is a cycle. Hope that helps

@@bebedraws1768 -- I had the same reaction. My notion is that individual consciousness dies when the body/brain dies. But I figure Thich Nhat Hanh was making a different point.

Thank you Thay for sharing your wisdom, kindness and heart with us. You have helped me spiritually and emotionally in so many ways, ever since i first discovered you over 6 years ago and fresh in recovery from over 20+ years of active addiction to drink and drugs. I owe a large part of my sobriety to you! Physically you may no longer be with us but you live in every single person who has taken comfort from your teachings. Namaste.
When I think of the ocean, it is me, when I am the wave inside the ocean I rejoice within myself( because, I am a wave that is also an ocean). This morning I asked myself"how can I remain an ocean when there are so many waves not knowing that they are also an ocean? How can I keep my eyes open, when so many eyes are closed? And a voice within answered "You are not only an ocean, you are also, those waves and those eyes, both open and closed.
It feels to me that you very much are one with the teaching of Thay here.

“Details take away from experience” good point. However in this case even ppl who have the details don’t believe it. It “ will be” for those who believe. Ani-matter is waiting for those who don’t. @Daniel Paulson
I would say that it appears that energy can not be created or destroyed but ironically it appears that everything is made of imagination and even energy only exists in the imagination of the one who is aware of it. I think it's the one who can't be created or destroyed and the energy that we see in the one's imagination represents this Truth. Imagination would seem to be the word and the waters which it is spoken across is the mind of God. Jesus is the light of God, I think, created by the word of God. Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life and the key to the Kingdom of God which is Love and the power of Creation. It seems that the closest anyone can get to going to Hell is to live in the hope that someone else will. We have to forgive those who know not what they do before we can ascend from the cross. I'm pretty sure that's correct and it's the sentiment reflected in the Sound of Silence, Stairway to heaven and Sympathy for the Devil to cite a few Spiritual writings and I think they said something about it in the Vedas. 🙏
Thank you teacher ♥️ your teaching always bring me calmness
I think if you ask a Tibetan Buddhist, he will just say "yes". I think if Thich Nhat Hanh believed "yes", he would say so. Instead, all this sounds like a qualifying "no". Like, "no, but really what you think of as life is not so simple". That's fine, but that's still a no, and it's a different answer from Tibetan Buddhism. Which - one may want to ask - why is that the case? Do Tibbetan Buddhists have different traditions or have they had different experiences?
Thich Nhat Nanh’s perspective is deep and touches the ultimate dimension of life. He said life energy follows the laws of energy. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; thus, we are still around after we died physically. A cloud never dies; instead, it changes only its form of existence. So do we.

But you have to accept impermanence, for that to make you happy. That's the problem. It's not a happy thing, really. Those little girls want to know if THEY will continue to be conscious after death. But if they change into something else, than is it THEM that is conscious? No. It's only their essence, their KNOWING-NESS that is; the personality may in fact be dead. I don't think that's any good thing, or any comfort, because I hate the idea of impermanence. I'm not ready to accept that, or be happy about that. If (insert my name here) doesn't get to go on and experience things after death, then I'm not happy. I don't care if my undifferentiated, collective consciousness manifests as something else. Frankly I think that sucks.

Thankyou so much for the question and answer. This helped me a lot. Although being born as a Buddhist, I have always had that doubt in the back of my mind, bothering me. I just simply couldn't convince myself that there's a 'literal' rebirth. After not being able to find a satisfying answer, I looked and thought deeply about it myself, I realised something very similar to this. (Correct me if I have the wrong idea)
I feel like in Buddhism, the idea if birth, death and rebirth means the change, transformation and difference in our character and life everyday, within our lifetime. I am now not the person who I was before I watched this, I will not be the same person tomorrow as I am today. It's because the constant exposure to different elements in life changes us, everyday- everyminute. Both physically and psychologically. This might be the birth and death that Buddhism points at. These changes bring us suffering, good and bad, the idea of karma. And living in such conditions for a long time is hard to anyone I.e samsara? Therefore, the enlightenment we search in Buddhism is a life that is well lived without suffering too much. And it's achieved through controlling our minds. Understanding deeply about life and it's nature. Neither weighing towards too much or too little. Thus the middle path. It's a life that was good for ourselves as well as the world. It's a life where at the end of our lifetime, will be one that is not to feel regret of. It's a one that we'll be satisfied and happy to leave behind. Passing away peacefully to the unknown is be nirvana.
This is what I have realised. And the answer from the video enhanced my understanding and ideas. This is probably the only answer that I found to be logical and sensible that aligns with my feelings.
Thankyou again.
I asked God for a sign today and something made me go to this Buddhist teacher my favorite one and he explained just as I explained to someone in the forums(comments)🙏😇🤔🙂

Jesus IS the only path back to ABBA, AND ... the path of enlightenment (in which the man and messenger named Buddha taught, is the process.
No one gets into heaven without believing that Jesus Christ is our savior and the only begotten son of God. Jesus is God incarnated.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for this excelente question and the wonderfull answer. My honor ti our Venerable Thay, in this answer he gave us a full class, for my is a great gift. I'll listen several times in order to learn a little bit more every time. Thank you to the smart girls for doing this question. Lots of hugs. Evangelina Cortes.
He deserves everyones thanks for this video. 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.

Thay has transferred the deep meanings by Buddha into the modern knowledge. It is much understandable and perceivable that enables more people love and practise Buddhism.
Excellent Teaching. Thank you, Pranams.
This doesn’t explain how consciousness appears to begin at birth and end at death. The children weren’t asking whether the molecules in their bodies exist after death; they were asking whether their consciousness survives.
Thats because he him self doesen’t know the answer.
true but thats a question no human ever can answer. 🙏🏻

behind everything I know, there's a me knowing it. Im the only constant between all thoughts and experiences, shouting ego at me won't make this knower go away. she's only asking if that chain of knowing continues to know itself after the body ceases.
Bingo💥
To all the people saying he didn't answer.
If you listen closely, he says yes.
But he doesn't want you to intellectualize it. Birth is not really the first moment you were born, and death is not the last moment of life, this transformation was present long before this birth and will be long after our death.
Thank you very much for uploading this great dhamma 🙏🙏🙏
Thay is radically changing my life! Why did it take me 74 3/4 years to find his teachings? Is this part of my Karmic destiny?
I think she wanted to know whether life continued after death, that is be conscious of yourself after the physical death.
Consciousness continues, yes.
what is life? is a mental construction? is sensory perceptions? meditate
I'm not sure that little girl was happy with the answer that she was currently dying....
Of course that seems like the logical answer she was looking for. But what he was explaining was that from his Buddhist perspective, the question itself is wrong. She is already dead whilst being alive. Likewise, she is alive after what she perceives as, "death." The method of thinking she offers is in itself an inaccurate way of interpreting her life. She's asking the question from her religious/scientific perspective, that being that we were "born" when we were either conceived or physically birthed into the world. From the mindset of the practicing Buddhist, this question cannot be answered as such because the mentality accepts a falsehood from the onset. I think that's why he was trying to use metaphors to explain his perspective.
@thomas seven Nope. Consciousness is not a function of the brain but what animated the brain. Many have experienced consciousness without detectable brain activity.
Rest in peace
Is there life after death ? He did not really answer the question ! What is life ? What is death ? In Buddhism there is birth , there must be death. But, birth does not have to there after death. If there is no birth, there is no death. Life is in between them. Buddhist sages are no longer subjected to rebirth after they died ! Birth and death can not exist at the same time ! If you ask me what is death ? My understanding of death is the cessation of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, body sensation, the brain of this body. Death does not belong to any being. No one dies ! No one has ever lived ! The five aggregates can not die !
wave example made this answer very much easy to understand.. thank you Thai..

True!!

I have a lot of respect for his wisdom but no one has really been able to answer the question of life after physical death. No one really knows. There is no way to know until we actually go thru it.
Every religious book or philosophical theory differs on the topic. All science can confirm is how the body deteriorates after death or how a life is created/birthed. That's it.
2day He went home bless up brother!
You are not only the body, or the mind, or the ego. You are everything combine. If your body is made up of 65% of water. Then aren't you 65% of the whole ocean itself? So in a sense, you are not "inside" the universe. You "are" the universe who is experiencing itself, in a different perspective such as "me", "you" or "this car" or "that car". Everything is literally one single being. You can call it "god" or "the source" or "the universe" or "all that is", there are many names. God is not a seperated being from you.
The real you, which is the source of all things, don't die, It's more like you can't die, you just change forms. Can you really get rid of "water"? When water evaporated, it became air, when air became saturated, it became cloud, when cloud is condensed, it start raining down water, and the whole cycle repeated. You can never really completely get rid of "water" out of existence, because it will just change form no matter what you do with it. You are in fact, the same way. You don't die, you just recycle. That's where the idea of reincarnation are made.
. Even if we are all are just one singularity being at our core, we are living in a state of seperation , or duality , such as: I am seperated from you, you are seperated from me. When we each have individual thoughts, that is how realities are formed, when one thought collide with another.
Imagine if you live in a state of singularity with unity consciousness. In this singularity consciousness, you are living as if you are "everything at once". When you live in this state of singularity instead of duality, there wont be any individual thoughts, there wont be "my thoughts", there won't be "your thoughts", it will just be "our thoughts" always. There won't be any events happening because it won't be any individual "thoughts" collide with one another to make an "event". A whole relationship of 20 years would just happen in a snap of a finger because "time" or duration of manifesation will not exist in this unity consciousness. Unity consciousness, can be called the ending journey of the soul, or "death" for some people. It's a journey of going back to the source. When you are living in "unity consciousness", there will just be an eternal awareness of nothingness. Do you call it death? It's up to your judgement.
Nowday many people talk about how they want to get out of reincarnation cycle because it's full of suffering. Do you want to live an eternal life of nothingness? or do you rather live to experience "life", to love, to laugh, to suffer, and to growth, just so you can die and repeat it again. To live life in this state of duality, or seperation is a blessing of itself. :)
William Saekao well said
+The Sleuth's Report what are you even saying mate.. first of all you said you don't believe in life after death, yet you go looking for your father who have passed away..?
Second, when did i say god is nothingness? I clearly said that we are god, which is we are everything combine. You're proprably confused with the singularity consciousness that i stated. So you already know that we everything combine at our core, correct? But we are living in a 3 dimensional state, which is im seperated from you and you are seperated from me, but we are one at our core, so what do you think would happen if we are living as if we are all one? Aka the singularity consciousness? Life wouldn't happen with the singularity consciousness. Life only works with the duality consciousness that we are living right now, where 2 seperate thoughts form into a reality. I've astral travel my whole life so idk how that would help my claim but theres that, if you don't know what it is, just look it up.
+The Sleuth's Report oh no haha, what i was saying is, some people who is deep into the spiritual life, they think the world is full of suffering, so they want to stop the reincarnation cycle. If you stop the reincarnation cycle, which is your energy stop recycling, meaning you'll be living in the singularity consciousness, you'll be everything combine, which mean you won't be able to experience life, emotions, growth or anything like that. Where if you are living in duality, you get to experience what life has to offer, you get to experience emotions and all that good stuff. Singularity consciousness = you'll be nothing but an awareness.
+The Sleuth's Report I've done this in astral travelling and lucid dreaming actually. I don't know where we go when we die, but if it's to the astral world in astral travelling, life is much more fun there. Maybe when we die, we go to different dimensions where duality consciousness still applies, who knows. But to go back to the state of singularity is when your consciousness merge with the "source" or "god", but when does that happen, i have no idea. I've read some books that said it's the final lesson for the soul to go back to the source but yeah, i guess that's beyond our 3D perception right now
Stopping the reincarnation cycle not necessarily meaning living in singularity consciousness in Mahayana Buddha Dharma.People believe that many chan or Zen masters have already reached the stage of Bodhisatava meaning they have already stopped the rebirth cycle and which will lead you to the pure land.However in Vajrayana tradition if you have not achieved the status of higher lamas or Rinpoche you will go through the life cycle or rebirth continuously in different form depending on your karma .Only higher lamas and Rinpoche can be reborn as reincarnated being or enlighten being.
9:40 The Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can never be CREATED (Birth) or DESTROYED (Death). The Essence never ceases to exist.
And the children: What is this man talking about?! 😅
great speach, really like the presence of transformation every moment
Well i put it this way we are a thought form inhabiting a material body, we are all part of the life force called god =intelligent energy --most people cant remember the "place" we came from to experience life as a human, we are all heading toward enlightment thru different bodys and experiences =love and peace and true happiness!!!
I think the question was referring to the survival of the personality or the body,as that is the level of understanding of the young girl.
If you dont know you are in fact "water" or Awareness, not a person, however old you are then his answer would have no meaning .
However the wave and water analogy was very good
.A wave is the same substance as the Ocean but a different shape,it is neither born or dies , water just has a little movement for a while and it thinks it is a wave, a person.
A person is just an idea in the mind based on life conditioning ,a mind construct.
Seems like a long way of saying “nobody here knows”.
He didn't say anything like, "Nobody here knows". You may think that he doesn't in fact know but that is not what he said. He said, birth and death are illusions that are a part of a single life, to paraphrase. 🤗
You are both correct and yet both wrong.
I'm pretty sure he said, Grandma is in the ocean and he thinks the being and the not being are two sides of the same coin or as I would term a single Life. Maybe we should all watch the video again with these questions in mind and meet back here to compare notes 🤔
@@imaginaryuniverse632 ....a coin? Maybe a pocketful of change but the trousers are on fire. And yet you have still read this.
He did answer it.
So here is another way of putting it.
The question IMPLIES a false perception..that there is a "you" that is separate, distinct..a something or someone that is independent of everything else.
Death is, therefore, overcome by SEEING that YOU were not born and YOU will not die.
you have always existed in some form..maybe a cloud, a raindrop, a flower, minerals.
There is no YOU to point to and say "that is I..that is the separate and distinct self I want to know continues after death"
Merci. Many thanks to plum village and the honorable teacher. So, to those who have forgotten their question, ‘is there life after death’. Maybe this is the short answer: where there is life, there is death, both exist at the same time, yet ultimately life and death do not exist, there is no separation.
There is no honor in error this man is spewing. There is no death because Jesus destroyed it those who proclaim Jesus as God never die. This man steals answers inverts God’s ideas without giving God credit. Hell to this MAN. GOD ABOVE MAN.
Very beautifully explained, very beautiful. It's amazing how beautifully metaphors can capture that which is beyond.
Admittedly, this question has no easy answer - and all credit to the young ladies for remaining so focused when so lost. However, this is one of the questions upon which Buddha maintained his Noble Silence - I think it should be left at that.
All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...

If there is day there is night. If life there is death. Important is being alive do good karma. That will help u both this life n next life.

How? It set off my death anxiety more knowing I’ll die and live on in the memories of others but will never see know or experience anything again. If this man is correct then I think it’s a horrible thought and would rather have a blind faith or something else 😂

Perfect example of mindless nonsense! Incredible sleight of hand semantics. Never did address the real question!! Is there life after the time, space, matter continuem. That is the real question that Buddhism totally ignores!!!!!!
Thank you. I thought the exact thing. Everyone else on this forum commenting are all enlightened it seems.
The answer to these deep questions cannot be understood with “science” or “logic”. Spirituality is experimental learning. What one feels cannot be taught to another like a science lesson. One has to come to a certain mental stage to comprehend and not everyone is in those states.
buddhism states reality is a projection of our mental afflictions, desires, and past karma. buddhism believes in rebirth, that we have been in samsara for an infinite period of time. also, buddhism doesn't believe in a "self" in that there is no "I-ness" in consciousness just karma and mental afflictions. this is where people start to misinterpret buddhist teachings. we are simply a process, one with everything (or, the rest of the process) essentially. once you realize the true nature of mind, which is emptiness and void of self, you will thus be liberated aka reach nirvana. "what happens after death" is not a good question, its better to ask what happens during life. and buddhism doesn't "ignore" this question, they simply view it as a silly question that's not worth addressing and only causes further suffering. i think you are trying to understand what "nirvana" is, but the truth is that it's beyond the concepts of space, time, matter, dimensions, existence, non existence, etc. it's unfathomable from an intellectual standpoint, just how most buddhist concepts can only be understood from an experiential basis. no buddhist can tell you what its like to not exist, or even to exist, i mean just think about it: can you explain to me what the color red is like? can you tell me what an orange tastes like? in neuroscience these examples of "felt conscious experience" would be considered "qualia". but just like you can't explain these experiences, you can't explain or fully comprehend the state of realization or awakening
Jesus said: If your leaders say to you, "Look! The Kingdom is in the sky!" Then the birds will be there before you are. Rather, the Kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
They asked him: When is the Kingdom coming? He replied: It is not coming in an easily observable manner. People will not be saying, "Look, it's over here" or "Look, it's over there." Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is already spread out on the earth, and people aren't aware of it. - Gospel of Thomas

In which this universe like a snake on a rope imagined appears.
He didn't answer the question really. Don't get me wrong - I think he was a wonderful individual. But I don't think any living person actually knows the answer to this question. It doesn't matter whether you are a Buddhist Monk or not. The girls were asking "is there life after death", not "can I see myself in other things" or some such similar question. Life after death has no meaning unless there is a continuity of awareness on the part of the dying being.
It's not possible to understand if you think dualistic that life and death are separate things but like he said they go hand to hand and there is continuation.
I have researched (in a non-professionaly way) a lot about life and death or life after death in the experience of many people, and based on what I have partially concluded, I can say that the preacher above has described the flow of "being" from one physical form to another. And to that I think he is correct that our consciousness flow from one physical being to another physical being (or maybe even metaphysical being) and in those "lives" we don't really remember anything about the former, nor do we know the next, as if our selves are gone after one life.
But what he did not point is that before we transition from one physical(or metaphysical) life we go through another phase/place, and in that place and time we remember and realize exactly everything. And that our basic consciousness have always been the same through out all those forms, and all those times.
To some religion this phase/place is called being in heaven, although most religions do not believe that after heaven or before being born on Earth there is something else.
@@123pripri Yes, I think there is some evidence of a complete form of consciousness and knowledge outside life. This seems to be what NDEs allude to. There's a different way of visualising that though. Instead of me traveling from life A to divine consciousness to life B to divine consciousness to life C... etc.... we can imagine all those lives, life A, life B, life C... expressed radially from the centre (divine consciousness) and individually pointing back in towards the centre. In that sense, there isn't a jumping "from life to life" in a reincarnation type sense, as there is no need. Divine consciousness already is all of those lives expressed simultaneously. Moreover, if as life "B" I truly have no memories of life "A" then it doesn't seem to make much sense to say that "I" was that previous life unless the "I" spoken of is again, simply, completed or divine consciousness, which returns us to the same picture I just described. I think the idea of serial lives and the Buddhist idea of impermanence too are sponsored by our human experience of linear time, which doesn't appear to be the way things are under the surface.
@@greensleeves7165 Good insight there, which I will not really add on further, only that (just in theory / 2nd hand knowledge through my research) the best way to realize "these things" is actually through meditation and mindfulness, which apparently the preacher above has been doing most of his life, and "these things" are not really best understood just by speculation, theory or even research.
You will never know until you meditate and look deeply It is not conceptual thinking that gives the answer
What shall I become after my death ?
Answer: Nothing and everything.
After I die, I become what I was before I was reborn--
the will to live.
I get what you're saying. Life is a choice.
what happens after death? will we all go to heaven?
Love this man. Can somebody help please. What about consciousness though? Our physical bodies may continue as part of the cosmic body like waves and clouds do but what about the consciousness within our bodies? I think that’s where the fear of death comes from, losing the consciousness that allows us to experience. Please could somebody advise?
See Threefold Lotus Kwoon vids from Nichiren Buddhist perspective - which says, no our consciousness expires but Buddha nature is forever.
This is where deep meditation comes in You will find the answer in meditating on your question I promise
@@lisamac8503 thank you. Since I wrote this comment a year ago I now understand that I am infinite consciousness and that I am eternal. I cannot lose what I am. After this body dies, I remain. Thank you x
He is a great teacher🙏
Best explanation I have ever heard.
Is there life after. SURE
But there is a problem and after one die as a human the next birth is no more human. The next birth fall into lower realm they are Hell realm, animal realm, hungry being realm, ghost and demon realm.
That is what was told by the Buddha.
BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI
I had to literally pause the video some time to just understand what he is saying lol but overall I get what he is trying to say! Very deep and wise man!
HE STEALS GOD’s IDEAS AND INVERTS THEM TO CONFUSE YOU SO THAT YOU WORSHIP HIM. HE IS NOT WISE HE IS EVIL.

But when you die today ,
everything about you and the knowledge acquired in this life , your name and gender will cease immediately.
Nobody knows your next life including yourself.
Be kind and enjoy your life to the fullest and also be generous to your parents everyday. Do not worry about afterlife but do well in this life by helping people.Your contribution to society is most important than personal meditation.
Basis of Budhism is reincarnation and law of karma . The necessity of Budhism is impermanence , sufferings and concept of no soul . Budhism guide us to remain in human world and heavens until final stage is attained 🙏🙏🙏
Life is so crazy. Praise God.
