In Theravada Buddhism, they tried to preserve the original of the Buddha's way of practicing and wanted to do the same thing like Buddha(Tathāgata or Gautama Buddha)
Very true
Boon, n edwin agustian:
The best way to describe is... crossing the rapid river of suffering.. u can use kayaking alone to reach the other shore. Or you can get in a huge boat with many seekers, captain (buddha) of the boat n stewards (sangha members) to serve your seeking... n the compass (dhamma) that will help you to navigate thru the treacherous waters to reach the other shore.
Which is your own preference.. just do it.

Not exactly. Gautam Buddha didn't eat meat, whereas almost all Theravada monks eat meat. Many Mahayana and Vijrayana monks also eat meat. Only portions of Mahayana don't eat meat. Overall most Buddhists do. Furthermore, even among the Theravada most are polytheistic and include deities.
@@realtalk6195 no Gautama eat meat ,
I was raised as a Theravada Buddhist and this video was fairly accurate, however, the definition of a Bodhisattva isn't totally accurate according to the Theravada tradition. A Bodhisattva is the term used to describe a being who will become a Buddha in a following life, more specifically it is used to describe Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) in his previous lives. Also, it is true that an Arhat (Arahanth) is a being that attains nirvana (enlightenment and ends their cycle of suffering and rebirth upon their death) and a Buddha is an Arhat/Arahanth, because they also end their cycle as well upon death. The difference is that the Buddha teaches and helps others to get on the path to Nirvana. Basically the definition you used for a Bodhisattva is the definition we use for a Buddha and a Bodhisattva is this person in his previous live.
Also a Bodhisatta isn't enlightened.
@@Jessica-bo3kd , @Inclusive Outsider
Boddhisattva must go through 10 stages of Boddhisattvahood. The tenth level if completed successfully, reach the Supreme Enlightenment. Enlightenment has many levels. *SUPREME* Enlightenment is the only one. Logics.
Boddhisattva that reaches the tenth stage level postphoning of becoming Buddha, and come back to teach the agnostic (lacking knowledge) people like you n you n you.... in our samsaric circle of life. There are beings that prefer to forsake their Buddhahood for a time, and remain as Bosdhisattva in order to persuade, to teach, to expound the Buddha's teaching through 84,000 skillful means.
In Mahayana discipline or sect, majority of Buddhists take *Boddhisattva Oath* as part of their commitment. They prefer to cross through the river of samsara with more beings together to reach the other shore instead of being alone on the other side.
Hinayana = the small vehicle to reach the other shore of the samsara river, can be refer as solo Kayaking.
Mahayana = the Larger or Great or Huge vehicle can be referred as a Cruise Ship that can carry thousands of the same minded seekers to reach the other shore together.
The Captain = the Abbot, the Crews = Sangha Community, the Compass = Dharma and the passengers = the seekers...
As to which you prefer, it is up to your personality type. A loner seeker or a groupie type of seeker... does not matter. You get the idea.
@@peacebe2u480 I am Nepali so I learned Pali easily(also because I used to lived in Myanmar). And man your explain is pretty complex.
ya i was just stating this myself before i saw the comment but i speak of it from a spiritual way of being there.. to put it shortly and bluntly simple beneath it all, Thai Theravada buddism seems less advanced and more for people that are beginners like people that will not reach nirvana and will reincarnate..
while the ones that understand Bodhisattva are for people that understood the spiritual..
to me its like theravada is the story of buddha, the journey.. and Bodhisattva is buddhas knowledge after he found enlightenment... so it makes sense Bodhisattva is the more adavance higher form. all the thai moneks ive met and encountered are not and dont feel of high spiritual growth.. i feel they are even far below me in knowledge.
@@Tank1oh wow. U must be someone of high spiritual attainment to be able to judge Thai Bhuddists.
In Theravada Buddhism "bodhisathwa" is a person who develop some skills (like generosity ) necessary to be a Buddha. It's a difficult practice that most people easily would give up. If someone wants to end the Samsaric journey (going life after life which has no end otherwise) they can still do it without becoming a Buddha. Anyone can attain The Nirvana or the enlightenment by following the way found by the Buddha. They are called an "Arahanth".
Wow I just typed a comment stating this exact thing that a Bodhisattva is the term to describe a being who will become a Buddha in a future life. The way you wrote Arhat is also the way we pronounce it as well as Arahanth according to the Theravada tradition.
In Pali: Arahant, Bodhisatta, and Nibbana; in Sanskrit: Arhat, Bodhisattva, Nirvana. What you've described about Bodhisatta in Theravada Buddhism is in general correct. It's a status becoming a future Buddha, and it has to be granted and recognized by a previous living Buddha. There are several other conditions as well. Also it generally takes eons before becoming a future Buddha and start to teach. So it's usually encouraged in Theravada Buddhism to attain Nibbana and become an Arahant, which is much, much easier.

Mahayanists trying to become a Bodhisatta is ridiculous. What will world do with so many Bodhisattas? A bodhisatta must have been prophesized and blessed by a buddha for being a future buddha. And a Buddha blesses and prophesies only one bodhisatta because it's extremely difficult and any normal person would give it up. So millions of Mahayanist trying to become bodhisatta is pointless :)... It's even better to live a meditative and disciplined life rather than worshiping any deities and imaginary Buddha. A true bodhisatta would never practice any type of ignorances like those practices. Practising Theravada doesn't mean you're gonna seek for Nirvana in shorter time or just arhantship, rather it's also a place for those who really deserve trying to achieve buddhahood with original Buddhas teachings while its still available, not defending on any imaginary misconceptions but realities those Buddha stated by himself, under shades of arhats(I'm saying it as only the side of theravadists has arhats). Just vowing for salvation of all beings doesn't make any sense for buddhahood to me.... It's not possible even for a Buddha to save all beings from suffering, but it's possible to save a lots, millions of beings with bodhisatta himself... So taking vow to save all beings is a type of great ignorance in fact it'll be a factor to struck into cycle or limitless rebirths for a impossible effort to save all the beings at once. Mahayanists, don't make this misleading vow and practices.
@@keshnipunchihewa312 yeah right
Thanks for the video, I kicked drugs after 7 years from a teacher who taught bhuddism he did a lot to wake me up to life and he never made me feel like I was to give blind trust cus everything he said seemed like forgotten common sense
I love your phrasing--"forgotten common sense"
this is literally what I am studying right now. great timing
Ey bro same, it's already been 4 years
I’m a Westener Buddhist🥰
I’m more in Therevada(simplicity and into the Pali Canon, but open to other ideas of Mahayanan monks) but I like the figure of the Boddhisatvas(because of what they represent) and some techniques of meditation developed by other schools, like mantras in Tibetan and Zen meditation.
basic buddhist
@@tenzinnams-w7x you calling Buddha basic?
@@floptaxie68 nope,
Which country ?
@Pratik-tk6ts India hinayan is basic buddhist
The Buddha did not teach ‘Theravada’ or ‘Mahayana’, he taught the Dharma.
that is totally truth !!! namo buddhaya!!!
YES!
@ Dhamma in Pali, Dharma in Sanskrit. I was taught in the Mahayana school which is mainly Sanskrit based.
@ All is one my friend, (as was my original point) best wishes on your journey.
@ what *original* ??
Do you think he taught in Pali ?? ........he taught in ardhamagadhi language not in Sanskrit or Pali
Later it was his disciples who started teaching his dharma in their own language which included Pali , Sanskrit , Prakrit , and other indian languages prominent at that time
Thank you, Khan Academy for taking your time, energy and effort to upload and share this video. I appreciate it.
I like the idea that the Buddha can only show you the way. It is up to us to investigate and practice the Dhamma. We make the path as we walk the path.
Do not try to separate two great tradition of Buddha dharma.Both Theravada and Mahayana tradition contains great teachings and wisdom.We should embrace each other rather than trying to find out differences because both teachings came from the one and only mahayogi,mahapurus Tathagat (Siddhartha Gautama)..
A lot of people don't know the difference as simple as meals most people think monks can't eat meat this is wrong view only Mahayana can not eat meat.
Theravada buddhist and Mahayana teaching are different.
The two teaching is different when come to the end. The original one is theravada.
In the time of the BUDDHA,
The BUDDHA reject DEVADATA for asking all monk to go vegetarian and the buddha teaching to accept vegetarianism.The BUDDHA reject such request.
And today vegetarian exist.
So guy it is ver clear it is not the original teaching of the BUDDHA. There are many differences only those in the theravada will know.
For new buddhist beginner they will not know.
If these beginner go straight into the sector of mahayanis they they will never know that their buddhist are not the ways instructed by the BUDDHA.
No need to explain further.
BUDDHAM GACCHAMI
@@vijjanandadhamma Buddha said not to eat meat
In dhammapada he said not to slaughter or encourage slaughtering of animals
In jivaka sutra he said the if the monk know that there is meat in his plate then he shouldn't eat it
Wrong understanding about eating meat. The Buddha already explain very clearly. Those who propagate vegetarianism are not following the BUDDHA teaching. They misinterpreted the meaning of non killing.
They forget it was DEVADATA that tries to promote vegetarianism.
The BUDDHA reject his view on this matter.
BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI
@@vijjanandadhamma devadatta wasn't in favour of vegetarianism
He just made it too strict that even if the monk didn't know that he was eating meat then he is committing sin.......devadatta was simply a hypocrite just like meat eating monks
In jivaka sutta , Buddha said , when a monk didn't know that the food he was eating was meat then it's not his fault
In dhammapada , Buddha said that put yourself in the place of animal being slaughtered , you will realise that slaughtering animals or encouraging it is bad and generate bad merit
Buddha's dharma was in favour of non violence , not animal slaughter
Hypocrite Meat eaters always misinterpret his dharma for their own desires (including meat eating)
I like how he pronounces it correctly :)
i think he’s also from the middle east
@@qwex4350 nope he is from the US however his parents are from Indian subcontinent (one from India other from Bangladesh) perhaps this is the reason as to why he pronounced those names correctly.
I think it’s so annoying pronounced correctly
@@Cats18888 Is this ignorant or sarcastic?
@@ragininorris5084 no it’s cause I actually think it’s annoying.
End goal of Mahayana is not Bodhisattva but Buddha hood. Mahayana remain as Bodhisattva to help others along the path to Buddhahood than going alone.
Bodhisattva in Tibetan is translated as Jang Chup Sempa aka compassionate mind or soul.
Arhat in Mahayana is one who has overcome / conquered all the causes of sins - desire, anger and ego.
Arhat is stage below Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva is stage below Buddhahood or Buddha
It's a big good karma and bless so I can born as a Buddhism and to learn both of that tradition.😊 Sabbe Satta Bhavantu Sukhitatta , Amitabha
In theravada there are 3 ways to acheive nirvana. Become a Buddha, become a 'Pase Buddha' and become a Arahath. If someone become a Buddha he has the ability to (know how to) teach others to acheive nirvana(if they have will), but to become other 2 mean, they don't have ability to do so.
Arahat can also teach the way to enlightment. Only pacheka Buddha are not able to teach the way to ENLIGHTMENT.
BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI
Guys do you know why the BUDDHA after attainment stay back to teach?
Do you think the buddha staying back is to tell you to become a BUDDHA will be better?
Guy in the dhamma, wake up be wise.
If the BUDDHA staying back is about getting everyone to vow to become Bodhisattva, it would have been thought initially by the BUDDHA himself. But this never happen because the BUDDHA know it is not the correct ways to teach and wrong way to encourage Bodhisattva vow.
So wake up Bodhisattva friends your vow are not recognised as real Bodhisattva vow has to be put in front of a living BUDDHA.
And the living BUDDHA acknoledge it. Only then that is genuine.
BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI
Definately just a vow is empty.
@@vijjanandadhammaa Arahat thero, may or may not know the darma and may or may not have the ability to teach someone to become enlightened. for instance, in first buddhist council, from all the thero who attended only the Anadna thero who wasn't arahat at that time(of course he became arahat just before the occasion ) had the knowladge of all the Lord Buddha's teachings.

Theravada is the original unchanged preserved teachings of Gautam Buddha. It can lead to enlightenment. Whereas Mahayana Buddhism was formed after 500 years after Gautam Buddha's Nirvana or passing away. Mahayana Buddhism was edited over the period of time by monks adding this Buddha and that Buddha and Bodhisattva etc for worshipping including change of attire, way of living, adding more requirements into scriptures thus making the original Gautam Buddha's teachings impure. Over the course of time, It became more suitable for ordinary people instead of practicing actual cultivation to reach enlightenment. Mahayana was widely spread across other countries like China, Japan and South east Asia. Theravada was an orthodox cultivation practice and not a religion. Whereas Mahayana turned into a religion called Buddhism over the course of centuries.
Yup , Adi Shankaracharya defeated Mahayana in debate but i suppose it would have been a tie if he debated Theravada
@@vedicarya7 Advaita Vedanta is also a very beautiful philosophy. Im a theravadin and have started to dabble in this school. Im at that stage of grasping duality vs non duality. Its very esoterical compared to most "religious" ideologies.
What do you mean that Theravada is not religion, my country is Thailand, and majority of Thai people are Theravada Buddhists

The ultimate aim of Mahayanist is Buddhahood which is far beyond Nirvana. Arhat has already achieved Nirvana - escape from cyclic existence - aka Samsara.
Mahayana Buddhism that came to Japan includes sects such as Pure Land Buddhism, Esoteric Buddhism, Lotus Sutra, and Avatamsaka Sutra. I noticed that these sects preach about the universe. Pure Land Buddhism preaches about the Pure Land, a world of the pinnacle of awakening, ruled by Amitabha Buddha far away in the universe. Buddha speaks passionately about that world. Esoteric Buddhism preaches about awakening through compassion and wisdom by the super Buddha, Vairocana buddha, who personifies the universe. Avatamsaka Sutra is the content of Buddha's enlightenment itself, and preaches that the true form of the universe is fractal. And the Lotus Sutra, which is said to be the highest teaching, preaches about the eternal Buddha, which I think preaches about the cycle of life in the infinite universe. In other words, God (of monotheism) creates man, man attains enlightenment and becomes Buddha, the wisdom of Buddha acquires knowledge of life, and when man appears by that knowledge, Buddhas becomes God.
Siddhartha Gautam Buddha was born in the place called Lumbini, in Nepal.
But he got enlightenment in India, spent most of his life in India and got nirvana in India. Cremated in India too.

Actually, Bodhisattva means someone who are becoming/Will become a buddha. If all focus to be Buddha - (Bodhisattva), there will be no one to help nor achieve Nirvana. So there is a direct straight way to Nirvana,There also is another loop for you to lock you there never get to nirvana. so choose wisely ^ ^
Well, Theravada way is like obtaining your fire yourself and sharing how you did it to others. Mahayana is like recruiting others to make fire together while you still haven't obtained it yourself.
Let us see what Buddha himself did. He tried to obtain Nirvana himself and then he help others with how to obtain it.
Isn't spreading the dhamma, instructing, and teaching it to save sentient beings from the cycle of suffering?
In Theravada Buddhism, praying, chanting, ritual, worshipping and faith cannot escape the cycle of samsara and sentient beings only be freed from samsara if they rely on themselves and practice the Dhamma righteously.
Thanks for pronouncing the words correctly.
Pronunciation is pretty good. Some of the words and names are generally mangled but not here.
@Andrew Friend really??! Is he an Indian?
i read a theory that mahasamgika sect from which mahayana evolved is the one that was majority sect and was closer to the buddha's teachings. it however became more diverse and became less original in comparison to theravada as time went on.
Some meditators make jana focusing on womb to make concentration.
Just focus on one object first to go vippasana( insight meditation)
This is for beings who would like to attain and go Nibbana( absolute peace)
Explained correctly, Thanks ❤
Buddhism is suppressed in India. India still has Buddhists but they don't get significant recognition.
I'm Mahayana Buddhism practicioner.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful information on budhhism..... From Nepal
Thanks for the explanation I always wondered about the different kinds
Eight conditions
1. The person must have fourth jana that can attain Nibbana easily( Near to Nibbana)
2. The person must pray in front of one of the Buddhas( must wait one of the Buddhas)
3. The person must be male
4. Must be human to pray as buddhahood
5. Must know causes and effects
6. Must be filled with gratitude of jana
7. Must do wholesome, giving own life if need
8. Must aspire wholesome wish to be Buddha
About Fourth Jana
To go Fourth Jana, have to start with First Jana
First Jana
Applied thought, Sustained thought, Rapture, Bliss, One-pointedness of mind
Applied thought= trying to focus on breath
Sustained thought = stable on breath ( no thinking)
Rapture = pure state with joyfulness
Bliss= Feeling peace and joyfulness
One-pointedness of mind= calmness upon peace and joyfulness
Second Jana
Will start with stable breath
Sustained thought, Rapture, Bliss, One-pointedness of mind
Third jana
Will start with rapture during sitting time
Rapture, Bliss, One-pointedness of mind
Fourth jana
Bliss and One-pointedness of
mind
Pers Fourth Jana can become back third jana, second jana, first jana if there is no insight vippasana.
In India Buddhist were absorbed into Hinduism plus the repeated Turkic invasion of India lead to the collapse of Buddhism in India and Bangladesh etc from 10AD onwards.
In fact most of Central Asian countries including Pakistan and Pakistan were Buddhist they were first to succumb to Arab invasion since 7AD. The founder of Zen, Chan Buddhism practiced in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam is Buddhist monk brothers Äsanga and Vasu Bandu from Peshawar, Pakistan around 4AD.
The founder of Tibetan Buddhism hails from Swat region of Pakistan who escaped Pakistan following the religious persecution and moved east wards towards India and Nepal and finally came to Tibet via Nepal at the invitation of Tibetan king in 8AD.
Even east Afghanistan... Look at gabdhara Buddhist sites! All are destroyed!
Peta Gonkyi if you still beleive this you are living in dark ...historical data proved that buddhism was destroyed by brahmins beacause buddhism rejected cast system and blind faith and devotion to many gods which was a threat to brahmin dominancy...

Searching this subject and nice surprise ur voice in the video.
In Theravada tradition, the use of the term "bodhisattva" is very limited - primarily referring to the Buddha Shakyamuni in his previous lives before enlightenment; and actually there is just ONE bodhisattva - Maitreya or Metteyya, THE future Buddha, generally recognized; and
that there can only be ONE Buddha at a time
I like Theravada
Hahaha... it is not about like or dislike. This very idea is totally wrong. Very discriminating mind.. the teaching will lead you to transcend this discriminatory mind set.
U should say.. preference or affinity.
The best explanation
Theravada (teachings of the elders) generally uses the Pali terms (because the most complete collection of the original teachings of the Buddha are in Pali), so arahant, nibbana, etc.
The Mahayana generally use hybrid Sanskrit terms (despite the Buddha explicitly forbidding it) presumably to appeal to the growing popularity of brahminism in India (and later traditions such as tantra, which literally means weaving threads from many traditions including one's own home brew new ageism). "Great vehicle" is correct but "maha" also means wider, majority, popular, and that's important to understand when discussion the (de)evolution of Buddhist teachings and practice.
Mahayana buddhism is more influenced by Hinduism, Ganesh,Tara(Durga), Mahakal(Shiva) etc are important Gods and Godesses in Mahayana buddhism.

Thanks for sharing so much information on Buddhism....
Nirvana here is kind of biased. In theravada buddhism especially nirvana is not becoming born again and there is no concept of emptiness.
i wAS WATCHING THIS foR WORLD HJSTORY AND I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN HE DIDNT PRONOUNCE IT LIKE “BOODISM”
Hinayana is defined by some as a bad term since Mahayana means "yana", vehicle & "Maha", collosal, thus collosal vehicle; which makes hinayana means "destruction vehicle" because "hin" means decay or abomination. However, hinayana can also defined as small/self vehicle. Hence, hinayana=theravada, both means personally believe to find oneself a middle way towards Nirvana (according to my understanding).

From what I remember, the “th” in “Theravada” doesn’t inidcate the English “th” sound as in the word “thin,” it actually represents the initial, aspirated “t” sound in the English word “tear.” It differentiates from the non-aspirated “t” found in the English word “stop” or as used in Spanish or Italian.
EDIT: At 0:10 and 5:40 you use the unaspirated “t” that I mentioned in English “stop,” and as used in Spanish and Italian.
Also, Vajrayana Buddhist believe it is possible to become a full fledged Buddha in one lifetime.

The former Buddha's meditation time was six years to attain Buddha wisdom, attaining Nibbana
Next Buddha mediation time will be 7 days. After seven days, Arimettaya Buddha will become Buddha, attaining Nibbana
i saw buddha in meditation a vision, and the buddha i saww i didnt even know existed. so that further confirms what i saw was real and not of the mind, because other than that fact, i google it and the pictures depicted of buddha is unbelievably accurate, i saw buddha almost exactly like the paintings of him, and the buddha i saw was BLUE BUDDHA.. yep never knew he existed but there are 12 buddhas.. and blue buddha is the most powerful healing buddha, thats what he does hs is a healer... and the amitabha buddha, his hair the way its in like round plat knots, it is exactly like that.. blue buddha however was incredibly slim. body like shiva, but the head was buddha and hair the same...
its incredible these pictures and paintings can be so accurate that there was certain very spiritual and great people beofre us that seen and understood alot ot things, i mean like so much more than i do and have seen, i am still young, but people before us was 100% far wiser and smarter in anceitn times.. we do not compare. also i say angel jophiel who came purely as angel of light GOLD in colour, after i saw her/him, for jophiel is of no gender and can appear as both, which was funny cause i saw and jophiel was stuning, the name literally means beauty of GOD.. imgiane seeing the most beautfful woman and your heart swoons and lusts, well thats what it was like but 100 times more. so beautiful you admire and respect it..
so google again angel jophiel and there are pictures again exactly as a saw, and before never knew of jophiel either.. and there are pictures showing exactly again like 90% accurate to what i saw.. like just a outline of a spirit of light, a body of light , like neon gold, and there are depictions of jophiel on google exactly like this.. when i saw buddha he was even sat the exact same way. ive never seen or witness these beings before let alone seen those pictures..

Theravada in the house
Better to explore a bit about the history of Nepal- where we have ample of Mahayana as well as Hinayana practiced and developed. Many historical evidences suggest that Mahayana and Hinayana- originally spread across Asia from the Nepal (especially Kathmandu Valley) many Hinayana Buddhism Practices.
There is no such thing as Hinayana.....It is just Mahayana people calling themselves "Great Vehicle" and non-Mahayana as "Lower Vehicle" or Hinayana
Very well explained 👏👏
i not believe budhis mahaya, i only believe budhis therawada !!
brainless became theravad
Om mani padme hun 🙏🙏namo aryaputra buddha joy mahayana

Hindu is a name given by mughals when they were the rulers of India. Indias religion name is Brahmin religion who came from Eurasia and created the caste system and all those scriptures were copy pasted from buddhist folk tale from Jataka which is buddhist book the statue and idols from Mahayana and vajrayana were converted into Hindu gods and deity by brahmin to eliminate buddhas existence and it's still being to this days.
Abe Kalu Pojeet, the Sramans (Jains, Buddhists) were Eurasians or Upper caste Aryans too.
Question: in mahayana, why should I hold off from attaining Nirvana to help others? The Gotama attained enlightenment, before teaching others.
Thank you it helped me a lot
Thank you for this
So simply and skillfully explained both in a loose form!! Well done 👍🏻 there's no contradictions here as much as i know through my detailed study & practice via Diploma in Nalanda philosophy & psychology 😊✌🏻
The History tells about the major difference compare Theravada and Mahayana by the way of master who achieved Vimutti.
The liberation in Buddhism can be classified in many ways. To classify it in a juxtaposition approach is the contrast between Ceto-Vimutti and Panna-Vimutti.
Master of Theravada Buddhism not teaches the immortality mind is the way of Panna-Vimutti, liberate one’s mind from clinging defilements by:
1. Wisdom power with one liberated in both ways(Meditation and Vipassana).
2. Wisdom power with one liberated by understanding(Vipassana).
Master of Mahayana Buddhism teaches the immortality mind is the way of Ceto-Vimutti, liberate one’s mind from clinging defilements by:
1. Meditation power with the body-witness.
2. Meditation power with one attained to right view.
3. Meditation power with one liberated by faith.
4. Meditation power with the truth-devotee.
5. Meditation power with the faith devotee.
The Panna-Vimutti can be contrasted with Ceto-Vimutti as Panna-Vimutti or wisdomful liberation requires the wisdom power to comprehend the Dhamma, especially Vipassana.
what was the purpose of buddha 84k methods of teaching? to benefit all sentient beings.
why not 1 method of teaching to all sentient beings?
because every individual capacity of understanding were different.
same {DESTINATION=ENLIGHTENMENT} differ {ROUTES=TEACHING}.
theravada or mahayana? pure mind see all equal.
happy learning people ))
For me Allatra is the way
Skillfull means
"incarnation" in hinduism is much different then what the Buddha taught as "rebirth".
Marvel Prime Poop. Could you point to a good webpage for comparison? Do all Hinduism schools agree on reincarnation?
@@djmuscovy7525 yes all do but they believe in permanent unchanging soul and buddhists beleive in anatma ,no permanent coninuing soul but desires that take birth
@@NishantSingh-qe7vv u are wrong there is no such thing as permanent changing soul they are same soul in different body and cycle continues until u attained moksha
@@NishantSingh-qe7vv also athma is the cocept of hindusim
Alright Khan, what do you think? Was Li Mu Bai a Bodhisattva?
2:55 "Bodhisatta" I think you refer to "Buddisat" such as "Giun Ing", the holy goddess known to all Mahayana Buddhists. 😊 Nice research
What language is that?
@@invokingvajras sanskrit
Female bodhisattva? Are you kidding? Get over your fairy tales please
@@dataxglobalYou're sexist.
Not sure why it is always said that Theravada is personal. The practice is not escape from the world, but directly confronting dependent co-arising in the world. both internally and externally. No one can go on the path for another, so intrinsically it is dependent upon oneself (or shall I say one non-self--haha). It says as much in the Pali texts, and though I am not sure of the similar ones in Sanskrit and the subsequent ones translated in the Chinese, I imagine it says the same.See the following based on the PTS (Feer) edition. To my mind, there is nothing selfish about it at all since it affects the world by your interaction in it. Who else can do it for oneself if not you yourself?
"Monks, be islands unto yourselves,[1] be your own refuge, having no other; let the Dhamma be an island and a refuge to you, having no other. Those who are islands unto themselves... should investigate to the very heart of things:[2] 'What is the source of sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair? How do they arise?' [What is their origin?]
"Here, monks, the uninstructed worldling [continued as in SN 22.7.] Change occurs in this man's body, and it becomes different. On account of this change and difference, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair arise. [Similarly with 'feelings,' 'perceptions,' 'mental formations,' 'consciousness'].
"But seeing[3] the body's impermanence, its change-ability, its waning,[4] its ceasing, he says 'formerly as now, all bodies were impermanent and unsatisfactory, and subject to change.' Thus, seeing this as it really is, with perfect insight, he abandons all sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair. He is not worried at their abandonment, but unworried lives at ease, and thus living at ease he is said to be 'assuredly delivered.'"[5] [Similarly with 'feelings,' 'perceptions,' 'mental formations,' 'consciousness'].
nirvana is very hard to obtain .
Its obvious you have more knowledge personally of Mahayana. You barely said anything about theravada that makes it unique.
You didn't mention how theravada kinda stopped meditating because they thought it was pointless until maitreya came
Tsukuyomi no Mikoto What a misunderstood statement. Theravada has had pockets of serious meditators for its entire existence sir.
actually Therevada (Tipitaka ) explains about 40 types of 'samatha' meditations and countless of 'vidarshana' meditations. But Theravada always recommend to meditate with the proper knowledge and guidance.
Where did you get that information? That is false
@@pinklasagna8328 I remembered it wrong it was specifically vipassana that fell out of use. They still practiced a form of meditation where they focus on something. Vipassana is a different kind of meditation.
@@Tsukuyomi28 theravada still practice vipassana. They call it vidarshana too. Where did you get the idea that vipassana was rejected in theravada? However in theravada vipassana is not recommended for the newbie in meditation because vipassana is extremely difficult.
which books have you referred to?
Mahayana Buddhism develop from gandahara of Pakistan during king kanishka of kushan dynasty in the buddist council held in peshwar. The first idiol of Buddha was also made in gandahara.Pakistan is regarded as the birthplace of the Mahayana Buddhism and famous mystics and philosophers of the faith including Asanga, Vasubhandha, Guru Rinpoche and Monk Marananta. Asanga and Vasubhandha were from Peshawar or old Purushapura. Guru Rinpoche or Padmasambhava was a native of Swat who took the message of the faith to Tibet and the lands far beyond. Monk Marananta who travelled from his hometown in Swabi to Korea to preach Buddhism. This session will focus on the origin and development of Buddhist thought in Gandhara. at that time ghandhara was part of north west of India.
theravada is the real teaching of buddha...👈
I wondered what happened to the Hinayana sect (we learnt in school that the sects were Mahayana and Hinayana). Hinayana is supposedly the older version of the Theravada (according to the internet).
Sueloveschoc
Hinayana is a category in which Theravada is a part of, like how Mahayana is a category which Pureland is a part of.
Mahayana called Theravada as Hinayana. Hinayana is kind of a bad name.
Hinayana is a pejorative used by some Mahayana Buddhists in the past to describe Theravada. It means "lesser vehicle" and is largely no longer used because it's a pejorative.
Theravada was the correct and original one. "Hinayana" word came later and used by some Mahayana Buddhists
Hinayana terminology was used earlier and was replaced by Theravada as word Hinayana has a tinge of derogatory (Hina meaning smaller) Theravada (elders) is more appropriate.
Gautam Buddha was Born in Lumbuni , Now Nepal 🇳🇵 .

MASSIVE oversimplification of the decline of Buddhism in India at the end there lol but overall great video!
I think you need to read revolution and counter revolution book by Dr BR Ambedkar father of modern Indian
Buddhism in India disappeared due to Turk and Persian invasion.
This is not entirely true, Buddhism in many ways was in direct conflict with certain Hindu beliefs, such as the caste system. After the end of King Ashoka's dynasty efforts were made to end Buddhism in India by those who previous to King Ashoka's rule enjoyed the benefits of such an oppressive system.
simpooishere False, it's mostly because Hindu conflict, not Islam conflict:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Buddhism_in_India
Bilal Santiago nope..who destroyed nalabda,taxila or gabdhara Buddhist sites??? Ahem ahem!!
Persians were themselves converted Muslims let alone oghuz turks
brahmans undermined it
Adi Shankara engaged in debates with many Buddhists throughout India and won the debates. It was because of the wins and the upsurge in popularity if Shankaracharya that Buddhism started losing popularity because of Advaitha Vedanta. Which is now the main ideology within Hinduism.
