I am new to the Buddha's teaching, and I have never heard about why the Buddha didn't answer certain questions - you explained it in a concise and understandable way.
I’m so glad to hear you found the video helpful and thought-provoking! Thank you for your kind words. It’s always great to know that the effort put into explaining these complex teachings is appreciated and aids in deepening understanding. If there are any other aspects of Buddhism or specific topics you’d like to explore further, please let me know-I’d love to continue providing content that enriches your journey. Thanks again for watching and for your feedback!
. 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.
I loved your video, very informative it clarified many of the doubts I had about the very same questions, thank you. Btw what’s the title of the melody starting at 1:26 I really loved how soothing it was
@@ཨབཟངཔོ I’m not sure if we can get hold of the wisemen’s inner circle to see if they can actually believe that they are going to change the world 🌍. But if they can do that then we can say that they are only right to change it to the extent of their own opinion but they can’t actually change it. This is why we have seen that the history of the great masters tells us. Namely, they have only explained the existence as they experienced it. But the truth is that they experienced the same in their own personal experience and perspectives not in the popular experience and perspective. No explaining can mitigate the effects of the system which is changing constantly. Now you can understand something now you cannot understand the same thing because it is the same thing apparently but it is a different thing actually. Flux is changing everything and so it changes the enlightenment. There is no permanent enlightenment and what is permanent enlightenment that doesn’t exist in the flux-dominated world. This is why you can explain things but you can’t change them because you can’t change them for they are every day new things. So neither the people are always the same nor the situation is always the same. This equally applies to everyone and everything in this world. However, only the science is the way forward to unlock 🔓 the door to the truth but not all doors are openable to the science. The reason why the science has no such capacity to do so, is that science is finite and scientist is also finite. Nevertheless, but the universe is infinite and the secrecy of the universe is also infinite. No enlightened people are more enlightened than the infinite hider of the infinite universe which is expanding every minute. The motion is eternal and the rest is relative. The flux is permanent. Moreover, thanks for sharing your thoughts on my commentary with appreciation. Let us respect the wiseman’s ideas which they had given to their respective eras. The idealistic approach is dreamy but the world is based on the reality and nature best explains it. Science never fails to accept that its findings are not true for ever in the ever changing world. But unfortunately, the followers of the wisemen think that what their guru says is true for ever.
Four reasons why people are suffering. 1. People suffer because their mind is always floating, unable to settle down and remains calm. 2. People suffer because they don't even a have even little bit of wisdom. Without wisdom, issues will multiply. 3. People suffer because they don't have way to overcome personal issues, resolve family issues or issues affecting social life and the world. 4. People suffer because they don't know how to unfold their wisdom. Without wisdom, there will be no happiness, only sufferings. Wisdom will neutralise all situations. 🙏🙏🙏
There are three main types of suffering according to Buddha's classification as follows, including cause and process. To understand clearly, please take the time to watch this video. 1. Objects of pleasure (Joy) ➡ Greed ➡ Attachment ➡ Suffering from change. 2. Unpleasant objects (Suffering) ➡ Anger ➡ Attachment ➡ Suffering after suffering. 3. Neutral object (Neither suffering nor happiness) ➡ Delusion ➡ Attachment ➡ Conditioned suffering The search for an object of pleasure to replace the neutral object (delusion) can lead to encountering an object of pleasure, leading to altered suffering; Encountering unpleasant objects leads to suffering upon suffering; Encountering another neutral object leads to suffering as described. ruclips.net/video/b42sq7L2DnQ/видео.htmlsi=jAbWVB2evn6C5Pst
One reason why people are suffering. 1. People suffer because they have expectations, of the future and the past (regrets), not living in the presence.
I am new to the Buddha's teaching, and I have never heard about why the Buddha didn't answer certain questions - you explained it in a concise and understandable way.🤑🤑🤑
Complication is hard and unacceptable, yet knowing is simple and acceptable. Buddha teaching is simple for those who are with knowledge. Until you know and accept yourself, only then you are at peace within and without the surrounding.
Your video on the 14 questions Buddha didn’t answer is absolutely fascinating! I love how you explore the mysteries surrounding the Buddha’s teachings and dive into the deeper, unanswered aspects of his philosophy. However, I wonder if focusing too much on the questions Buddha chose not to answer could miss the point of his teachings, which often center on the practical path to enlightenment rather than abstract metaphysical inquiries. While it's intriguing to explore these unanswered questions, perhaps the true essence of Buddhism lies in what is answered-how to live mindfully, free from suffering. Regardless, your exploration of these questions definitely challenges our understanding and sparks deeper reflection
The owner of the channel is blessed, for he has a very deep understanding of the teachings of the Lord Buddha. An excellent analysis that I have come back time and time again.

YET nowadays number of so-called Buddhist arguing each other about their method of practicing what Buddha left us ...I totally agreed with you! Keep paddling, your goal and my goal are the same but how we are reaching to the same goal is much much different :) !!!
It is Guru who knocks us out of our present orbit to the next one, otherwise seen as evolution. Bereft of Guru, we all are locked in the infinite loop getting repeated deja vus over and over.
To become a Buddhist it does not promise you haven or forgive your crime but it promise you a better tomorrow and a happy life if you follow it's teaching
Everything is subject to change. We ourselves change. There are encounters and departures, births and decay. Clinging to anything unstable is suffering. The Buddha's path is to train the mind to be constantly aware of change and to understand the reality of emptiness. When you are happy, understand that it will not last long. When you are suffering, understand that it will not last long. Let go and understand it. This is Buddhism.

The Buddha did not answer the 14 questions for the simple reason that they cannot be explained intellectually. He knew that his students, the brighter ones, would eventually develop the faculty of Bodhi, or using the English word closest in meaning, insight. However, to define it more closely, it is instant comprehension, an 'Eureka' epiphany. I suppose one could also say it is like a true intuition. There is also the problem of the direct experience of Nirvana (Samadhi) being a state of Bliss. This is simply not true. Mystics, who have experience this beautiful blissful condition, because of lack of knowledge (due to the lack of true fully-awakened Buddhas), assume it is the final goal. It is not. The Ultimate Reality, MIND's own consciousness is a thought-free Plenum - Void; consequently there is no possibility of bliss being possible there. To experience Bliss, or any other condition, requires that there is an 'I' to have the experience. To borrow Hindu terminology, the Blissful experience is Kalpa-Samadhi, that is Samadhi with 'seed'. One still has to travel the path of Asparsa Yoga to 'kill' the 'I'. One becomes a true Buddha only when Nirvikalpa-Samadhi, Samadhi without 'seed' occurs, when the full plenum-void is experienced, when the 'I' vanishes and full Awakening occurs. Blessings, Love, Peace, Compassion and Goodwill to all sentient beings.
Thank you, @light-bringer294, for your deeply insightful comment. You’ve beautifully articulated why the Buddha chose not to answer the 14 classic questions, emphasizing the limitations of intellectual understanding in grasping the truths of spiritual experience. Your explanation of Bodhi as instant comprehension-or an ‘Eureka’ moment of insight-is particularly enlightening and helps clarify the nature of true spiritual awakening. Your distinction between different states of Samadhi adds a valuable layer to our understanding of Nirvana and the journey toward it. The concept of Nirvikalpa-Samadhi, as you described it, represents the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice, where the sense of ‘I’ dissolves and one experiences the ‘full plenum-void,’ free from any trace of self. Your thoughts provide a rich perspective for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Buddhism’s ultimate teachings about consciousness and reality. We appreciate your blessings and the compassionate spirit in which you share your knowledge. If you have more insights or sources that could further illuminate these topics, please continue to share. Your contributions are truly enriching to our community.
The problem described around 15:00 is due to people not recognizing the difference between dukka vedana (suffering) and dukka lakkhana (more akin to emptiness or unsatisfactoriness, but not directly accessible). Vedana (sensation) can be dukkha (suffering), sukha (comforting), or neutral. But all of these have dukkha lakkhana. And this is due to anicca nature, which in a deep sense is not impermanence of an existing object, but the lack of objective existence altogether - the five aggregates giving the illusion of existence.

The path that he spoke about is a solitary path!! You must discover what's on it, and walk it alone!!! He was truly the only mystic that walked this earth. We were truly blessed by his presence!!! Take refuge in the Dhamma and nothing more
I might add something about the nirvana. Knowing who you are and finding out the reality is the same as knowing everything about the universe. People who understand know this.

@buddhaexhumed9922 I believe the problem is not in the teaching or the way it was taught. The problem is the way you seek things. It doesn't matter what or who Buddha actually was. Truth is in the Dhamma. In the teachings. Of course, we need to carefully check and find out which words were his actual words. Once you realise what that actually meant, you will know this was Buddha. Focus your effort on meaningful things. People can create a lot of nonsense. That's why buddha said, "Don't believe things because it's written in a book. If someone said it, so or even i said it" now you see why he said that. His words can be manipulated over the time. So teachings can be truly understood by dissecting with your mind. And that would depend on how intelligent you are. No one can grow an understanding beyond their own intelligence. So truth depend on you
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE, when I was struck by lightning during September 1970. Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
The individual soul is just a relative phenomenon, like in Buddhism. The Atman doesn't generate karma!!! Karma is generated in a subtle body that rules a body, mind, and prana. The Atman in Advaita-Vedanta is Universal Consciousness = Brahman. Brahma is not involved in karma! Greetings from London.🙂A very GOOD podcast! Thank you!
Even in the gospel of Phillip he says..'The words we give to earthly realities engender illusion,they turn the heart away from the Real to the unreal.'
Wonderful post, thnx! But, Grasshopper asks, "Can one concentrate completely and practice the lesson as unrelated advertisements meticulously interrupt the wonderful narrative? Grasshopper's self answers, "Of course not. But it does illustrate how the "World got in the way" excuse, prevails even while Buddha's teachings reach out to whom may listen... 😅 Long live the Revolution, pertaining to the Earth around the Sun...
Teachings of the Buddha can be divided in to two parts “Pariyati “ which means theory and “Patipati “( practice which means meditation) . The Buddha laid more emphasis to Patipati . Because only by meditation you can end your sufferings . The videos such a these are Pariyati which has its importance , but to fully understand Buddha’s teachings one must learn meditation also . Also because without meditation this video will become only “vani vilas “ ( spiritual entertainment ) I was fortunate enough to learn the meditation technique whihx is called Vipassana and I can tell you I have been immensely benefited . Not that my sufferings have ended but surely they have reduced . This technique is taught world over under the agies of vipassana research institute ( Vri ) . May all beings be happy
Yes, its truly good information. Please allow me to interrupt. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to Buddhists.
“The revelation of the true meaning [of the principle of Mahayana can be achieved] by [unfolding the doctrine] that the principle of One Mind has two aspects. One is the aspect of Mind in terms of the Absolute (tathata; Suchness), and the other is the aspect of Mind in terms of phenomena (samsāra; cycles of birth and death). Each of these two aspects embraces all states of existence. Why? Because these two aspects are mutually inclusive.” ~ Mahayanasraddhotpadasastra
The chain of causation (dependent origination): Because of ignorance, there is the formation of images, simultaneously with the belief that the mental representation is that which is represented. This gives rise to the image of myself, the "separate self", the ego, the "I" thought. Names and forms are then taken by the "I" thought as the ultimate reality. Thus, through the senses, there is contact between the ego and what it considers to be the basic reality. This causes feelings and concepts, which generate the desire for repetition. The desire for more brings about becoming. Becoming is the movement of one image pursuing another image. Becoming gives continuity to the ego, which clings to its fictitious existence, and is the cause of births, with their entourage of suffering. When there is a real understanding that ideas, concepts, images, representations, mental constructions, names and forms are not the thing in itself, ignorance ceases. With the cessation of ignorance, the continuity of the fictitious entity, of the simulacrum of being, ceases. Since the image is not the being or the thing it represents, who or what am I?

Excellent video. I agree teaching the dharma without fully understanding the teachings can be harmful, and the parable of the snake is a good example. I didn't know that teaching of the Buddha.

3:00 This answered a question that has been on my mind about Cittamatra (mind only) I was thinking in terms of the world and the universe. How is the material world the mind? Is mind only subjective or objective? Buddha was talking about a phenomenology not science. Everything is mind is subjective.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that the Buddha’s teachings have often been subject to various interpretations, which can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. The Buddha encouraged his followers to question and test his teachings rather than accepting them blindly. This approach is meant to foster personal understanding and insight. If you feel there are specific aspects of the Buddha’s teachings or historical accounts that have been misunderstood or misrepresented, it would be great to discuss these further. Clarifying these points can help us all gain a deeper, more accurate understanding of his teachings and their implications for modern life. Please feel free to share more about what you think has been mistaken or overlooked. Such discussions are valuable for everyone interested in these teachings.

Thanks for this succinct transmission of the Tathagata's teaching. A request, as the USA drawlling accent is not easy to listen to, could you find another narrator? Someone who also knows the correct pronunciations of Pali, Prakrit and Sansktrit terms. Tathagata is Tat-ha-ga-ta not Tatfagator. 😅
Buddha's goal was not to end suffering, that is one of the goals effects. The goal is Beingness.! You don't create and idea by resisting a limitation. Buddha's teachings were relative to the capacity of its seekers, for me there's a distinction in guidance and teaching that creates different effects.
I am not a Buddhist, I follow my own clarity of Bliss from the shoulders of Soul, no other reveals truth, IT IS ONLY SELF RECOGNIZED, it is never ever taught, but can be guided towards. So, why do you use Buddha's, when you have your own? I challenge buddhists often because Buddhists are followers, not finders, it's called dogma for a reason, even Buddha made reference to this, awaken to the Bliss of Soul
That's what you learnt or know , but Buddha himself finding how to end this life cycles (born as a child crying (suffering), old become sick (crying bcuz suffering from pain) and die (crying bcuz of suffering from leaving all behind including love one). Simple to say living is a trouble than happy. After he knows everything is just temporary, he start the journey to find out the answer how to end this cycle life and get the answer become God(remember even god got sick and died from sick after that he end the life cycle have peaceful). Well, some Buddha may be different from what I telling. Bcuz even the same Buddhist , will have different story.
@13:47 everything's changed, mean the minds are being changed fast that we could not tell ..maybe 1/billionth of second,,,,faster than speed of light , yes thousand times .......
If everything and everyone is what is left of all that is not - the moment the reliance on only seeking what is known and not expanding the plural of exploration and experience based upon what is known then there is nothing new, ergo if there are more than one true answer - maybe before even having the chance - to explore if that is the case, per se, the only truth left of not having explored the different perspectives/perceptions/interpretations/views of the question in itself the only option left is conclusively an answer that not is any answer. For example, one who ever only asks the same person the same questions has already set the answer to be limited per decision to actually be an answer that already exists and then any other answer that could be acceptable must be left within what it clearly is not which could be counted as the non-self, considering it's a part of whatever none of us know/knows and that is all that is known of. There is only one way out of it.
What else do we need in life besides freedom from suffering? According to Buddha, the wisest person in the universe is the one who seeks liberation from suffering. He believed that all universal questions are embedded within our sufferings. Buddha posed a critical question: If you believe that God created the world, why don't you ask God why He created suffering instead of a world of eternal happiness? If God is the creator, then why did He create murderers, cheaters, rapists, liars, the poor and the rich, birth and death? If God has the power of forgiveness, why not create a world of perpetual happiness? Why does the creator allow the drying of tears, crying, and the misery of sentient beings? Buddha considered such beliefs to be blind faith and provided universal answers through logic and reason. Buddha taught that the universe operates under the law of cause and effect. He advised against blind faith, even in his own teachings. Buddha said that God will not come to save us when we are suffering or dying, and there is no guarantee that God will come after life. Buddhism offers teachings that allow us to realize the truth before we die. Therefore, it is worthwhile to follow these teachings, as they help us understand the truth of life before our death.
@ricardosimatupang3529 When we sleep, all our six senses are collapsed and our body is like dead body. During afterlife(dead state of mind) and sleep state of our mind both are same nature bcuz afterlife there is no six senses. If we dream while we are sleeping then there is suffering in afterlife. But if we don't dream then there is no suffering in afterlife. Dreams are sufferings bcuz in the dream we run, fight, starved, etc.. In the dream state of mind, we experience emotions and emotions are suffering. Thus, if sleeping state of mind has no emotions and Dreams makes us no suffering. But if we dream and experience emotions then there is suffering in afterlife.
Things that are infinite, the Buddha cannot give answers (negativity or giving words of fix answers), due to the power of the Buddha words and the power of the words in manifestation of an unfortunate event may happen and its karma.
Buddha declares remarkably "the 62 kinds of wrong views" that is not His teaching and the reason and why to His discipels. (DN- 1. Brahmajala`:Sutta) Although many people ask Buddha but the answers are not the same because of questioners' qualities. Buddha has already taught his discipels remarkable doctine(on the roots and causes of wrong views) in detail. If someone want to know the answers for those questions, study it.
Thank you for highlighting the Buddha’s teachings on the ‘62 kinds of wrong views’ as detailed in the Brahmajala Sutta, @wint7031. This sutta indeed offers a comprehensive look at various incorrect perceptions and assumptions that can lead to misunderstanding and suffering. It’s fascinating how the Buddha adapted his teachings based on the specific needs and abilities of his questioners, which reflects his deep understanding and compassion. Your point that those interested in deeper insights should study these teachings directly is well-taken. It underscores the importance of engaging with the texts themselves to gain a fuller understanding of Buddhist doctrine and its practical applications. For anyone looking to understand the roots of wrong views and how to overcome them, the Brahmajala Sutta is indeed an essential read. If you have any specific passages or concepts from this sutta that you found particularly enlightening, please share them. It would be great to discuss these teachings further and explore their relevance in our lives today.
Hi one doubt 2:55 “He attained enlightenment about the mind,not about the world or universe” 1)Do you mean to say he doesn’t know about the world or the universe or do you mean to say it was not of his concerns? 2)When he is enlightened about mind doesn’t it makes him to know all?
7:32 Buddha at Kosambi with disciples, narrating the fact of knowing lot more than what his disciples can learn. It is Guru who knocks us out of our present orbit to the next one, otherwise seen as evolution. Bereft of Guru, we all are locked in the infinite loop getting repeated deja vus over and over.
Thank you for sharing that perspective, Kattar Hindu. The story of the Buddha at Kosambi highlights his profound understanding and his role as a teacher, or Guru, guiding his disciples beyond their current states of knowledge and experience. This idea resonates with the broader spiritual concept that a guru or teacher can catalyze significant growth and transformation in their disciples, helping them evolve beyond their current limitations. Your mention of the guru as someone who helps break the cycle of repetitive experiences, or "infinite loops," aligns well with the Buddhist goal of overcoming samsara-the cycle of rebirth and suffering. This relationship between teacher and disciple is crucial in many spiritual traditions for achieving deeper insight and progression on the path. If you'd like to discuss further the impact of such teachings or explore more about the role of spiritual teachers in different traditions, I'd love to continue this conversation. Your insights highlight an important aspect of spiritual growth and evolution.
Absolutely dear Atmabandhu! I'm a humble disciple of BrahmaSree Karunakara Guru, the latest sage gifted to mankind to help all to grow enough to free themselves from their static evolution stopping orbits to access new ones. Brahma Sree Karunakara Guru is also considered to be Gautham Buddha's rebirth. All my knowing stems from what He said and didn't say.
Buddha was taught the major upanishads (that preceded him) by his 10 gurus. What he preached was essentially an extract and an elaboration of these teachings. He didn't really answer the question about the ultimate reality (this was either misunderstood or twisted by subsequent Buddhist scholars). After his nirvana, Buddhist monks found a need to preach Buddhism as a separate faith.
No matter how long ago, this sounds like today's transcript of anyone to anyone, political, scientific or religious.. its all just judgement - on anything and everything that isnt exactly like that which judges.
I think you are confused about impermanence. Impermanence isn't about things constantly changing. Did the Buddha ever say that? This is later commentarial development. In fact, if things were constantly changing, you wouldn't make sense of your existence/experience. However, things do have some level of stability. But that apparent stability is based on shaky grounds. What it depends on can cease at any moment. That is impermanence. And this is why what it impermanent is also suffering: things we rely on can cease at any moment. Let's take our consciousness. Do we experience consciousness as this flickering constantly changing phenomenon? No. To us, consciousness is kind of permanent. However it relies on a basis which we cannot control and which can cease at any point: this living breathing body-mind complex. Should anything happen to our body (heart attack, suffocation, thrombosis, etc.), this seemingly permanent consciousness would cease right there and then (as we currently know it, let's set aside the notion of rebirth in this discussion). This is an inescapable truth : we must live while our ego and consciousness depend on a basis which we do not control, did not ask for and which can cease at any instant. Is keeping this in mind pleasant or unpleasant? Unpleasant, terrifying! Where does the escape from this lie then? In recognising that nothing in our subjective experience is "us" or belongs to us, it's never been so, we were just confused. These five aggregates are like borrowed goods. They can be taken away from us at any point. They rely on unownable and impermanent bases by dependant origination. The most fundamental dependency is at the basis of the chain of dependent origination : consciousness and phenomena (name and form) being co-dependant. We think we have a consciousness, that it is 'our' consciousness. However, consciousness doesn't have an existence of its own, it relies on phenomena to be perceived. Nothing to perceive, no consciousness. It doesn't have an independent existence. Yet, phenomena also don't have an independent existence, they too rely on smth else. That smth else is consciousness. This is why nothing is permanent or ownable. Impermanence and dependency is at the very basis of 'our world" (as perceived by our mind). This has nothing to do with things constantly changing. Things constantly changing do not force you to relinquish ownership of the 5 aggregates. There' s no need to contemplate things ceasing or constantly changing to see and understand impermanence. The fact that things manifest is proof of their impermanence. If they were permanent, they wouldn't manifest, they would always be. Hence, what is subject to origination is all subject to cessation. Best wishes!

If Buddism says that there's no self or soul or Atman then it means clearly that they have not reached the real state of Atman. Only making excuses of this kind will not help the problem solve it.
Siddhartha didn't answer these questions because they ultimately don't matter. Since you will see that there WAS NEVER A YOU HERE......what does it matter where quote unquote humans came from, if there is a soul or not, or if this universe is eternal or not. Those exoteric questions will eventually fall away.
I am new to the Buddha's teaching, and I have never heard about why the Buddha didn't answer certain questions - you explained it in a concise and understandable way.
Excellent video. The explanations were so well presented and give much food for thought and understanding. Thank you.
I’m so glad to hear you found the video helpful and thought-provoking! Thank you for your kind words.

The best video i have ever come across explaining the key teachings of the Buddha. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu 🙏🙏🙏
I'm Buddhist monk but way u understand Buddhist doctrine is far more better than me... Always appreciated.
@@ཨབཟངཔོ I’m not sure if we can get hold of the wisemen’s inner circle to see if they can actually believe that they are going to change the world 🌍. But if they can do that then we can say that they are only right to change it to the extent of their own opinion but they can’t actually change it.
This is why we have seen that the history of the great masters tells us. Namely, they have only explained the existence as they experienced it. But the truth is that they experienced the same in their own personal experience and perspectives not in the popular experience and perspective. No explaining can mitigate the effects of the system which is changing constantly.
Now you can understand something now you cannot understand the same thing because it is the same thing apparently but it is a different thing actually. Flux is changing everything and so it changes the enlightenment. There is no permanent enlightenment and what is permanent enlightenment that doesn’t exist in the flux-dominated world.
This is why you can explain things but you can’t change them because you can’t change them for they are every day new things. So neither the people are always the same nor the situation is always the same. This equally applies to everyone and everything in this world.
However, only the science is the way forward to unlock 🔓 the door to the truth but not all doors are openable to the science. The reason why the science has no such capacity to do so, is that science is finite and scientist is also finite.
Nevertheless, but the universe is infinite and the secrecy of the universe is also infinite. No enlightened people are more enlightened than the infinite hider of the infinite universe which is expanding every minute. The motion is eternal and the rest is relative. The flux is permanent.
Moreover, thanks for sharing your thoughts on my commentary with appreciation. Let us respect the wiseman’s ideas which they had given to their respective eras. The idealistic approach is dreamy but the world is based on the reality and nature best explains it. Science never fails to accept that its findings are not true for ever in the ever changing world. But unfortunately, the followers of the wisemen think that what their guru says is true for ever.
Bhante, you need to learn many things about buddhism. Come to Myanmar.
If not for the perception , there cannot be arguments over something that doesn't exist.
Four reasons why people are suffering.
1. People suffer because their mind is always floating, unable to settle down and remains calm.
2. People suffer because they don't even a have even little bit of wisdom.
Without wisdom, issues will multiply.
3. People suffer because they don't have way to overcome personal issues, resolve family issues or issues affecting social life and the world.
4. People suffer because they don't know how to unfold their wisdom.
Without wisdom, there will be no happiness, only sufferings.
Wisdom will neutralise all situations.
🙏🙏🙏
There are three main types of suffering according to Buddha's classification as follows, including cause and process. To understand clearly, please take the time to watch this video.
1. Objects of pleasure (Joy) ➡ Greed ➡ Attachment ➡ Suffering from change.
2. Unpleasant objects (Suffering) ➡ Anger ➡ Attachment ➡ Suffering after suffering.
3. Neutral object (Neither suffering nor happiness) ➡ Delusion ➡ Attachment ➡ Conditioned suffering
The search for an object of pleasure to replace the neutral object (delusion) can lead to encountering an object of pleasure, leading to altered suffering; Encountering unpleasant objects leads to suffering upon suffering; Encountering another neutral object leads to suffering as described.

I am new to the Buddha's teaching, and I have never heard about why the Buddha didn't answer certain questions - you explained it in a concise and understandable way.🤑🤑🤑
Complication is hard and unacceptable, yet knowing is simple and acceptable. Buddha teaching is simple for those who are with knowledge. Until you know and accept yourself, only then you are at peace within and without the surrounding.
Your video on the 14 questions Buddha didn’t answer is absolutely fascinating! I love how you explore the mysteries surrounding the Buddha’s teachings and dive into the deeper, unanswered aspects of his philosophy. However, I wonder if focusing too much on the questions Buddha chose not to answer could miss the point of his teachings, which often center on the practical path to enlightenment rather than abstract metaphysical inquiries. While it's intriguing to explore these unanswered questions, perhaps the true essence of Buddhism lies in what is answered-how to live mindfully, free from suffering. Regardless, your exploration of these questions definitely challenges our understanding and sparks deeper reflection
The owner of the channel is blessed, for he has a very deep understanding of the teachings of the Lord Buddha. An excellent analysis that I have come back time and time again.

Buddhism is unimaginably philosophical. We all have to accept it. The level of understanding is upto the level of personal wisdom.
Namo Buddhaya !
YET nowadays number of so-called Buddhist arguing each other about their method of practicing what Buddha left us ...I totally agreed with you! Keep paddling, your goal and my goal are the same but how we are reaching to the same goal is much much different :) !!!

Having just subscribed to this site, I would like to thank you for the calmness that comes from the Buddha's(buddha's) understandings. Namaste.
To become a Buddhist it does not promise you haven or forgive your crime but it promise you a better tomorrow and a happy life if you follow it's teaching
Everything is subject to change. We ourselves change. There are encounters and departures, births and decay. Clinging to anything unstable is suffering. The Buddha's path is to train the mind to be constantly aware of change and to understand the reality of emptiness. When you are happy, understand that it will not last long. When you are suffering, understand that it will not last long. Let go and understand it. This is Buddhism.

Best video I've ever heard on Buddhism.
The Buddha did not answer the 14 questions for the simple reason that they cannot be explained intellectually. He knew that his students, the brighter ones, would eventually develop the faculty of Bodhi, or using the English word closest in meaning, insight. However, to define it more closely, it is instant comprehension, an 'Eureka' epiphany. I suppose one could also say it is like a true intuition. There is also the problem of the direct experience of Nirvana (Samadhi) being a state of Bliss. This is simply not true. Mystics, who have experience this beautiful blissful condition, because of lack of knowledge (due to the lack of true fully-awakened Buddhas), assume it is the final goal. It is not. The Ultimate Reality, MIND's own consciousness is a thought-free Plenum - Void; consequently there is no possibility of bliss being possible there. To experience Bliss, or any other condition, requires that there is an 'I' to have the experience. To borrow Hindu terminology, the Blissful experience is Kalpa-Samadhi, that is Samadhi with 'seed'. One still has to travel the path of Asparsa Yoga to 'kill' the 'I'. One becomes a true Buddha only when Nirvikalpa-Samadhi, Samadhi without 'seed' occurs, when the full plenum-void is experienced, when the 'I' vanishes and full Awakening occurs. Blessings, Love, Peace, Compassion and Goodwill to all sentient beings.
Thank you, @light-bringer294, for your deeply insightful comment. You’ve beautifully articulated why the Buddha chose not to answer the 14 classic questions, emphasizing the limitations of intellectual understanding in grasping the truths of spiritual experience. Your explanation of Bodhi as instant comprehension-or an ‘Eureka’ moment of insight-is particularly enlightening and helps clarify the nature of true spiritual awakening.
Your distinction between different states of Samadhi adds a valuable layer to our understanding of Nirvana and the journey toward it. The concept of Nirvikalpa-Samadhi, as you described it, represents the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice, where the sense of ‘I’ dissolves and one experiences the ‘full plenum-void,’ free from any trace of self.
Your thoughts provide a rich perspective for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Buddhism’s ultimate teachings about consciousness and reality. We appreciate your blessings and the compassionate spirit in which you share your knowledge. If you have more insights or sources that could further illuminate these topics, please continue to share. Your contributions are truly enriching to our community.

The problem described around 15:00 is due to people not recognizing the difference between dukka vedana (suffering) and dukka lakkhana (more akin to emptiness or unsatisfactoriness, but not directly accessible). Vedana (sensation) can be dukkha (suffering), sukha (comforting), or neutral. But all of these have dukkha lakkhana. And this is due to anicca nature, which in a deep sense is not impermanence of an existing object, but the lack of objective existence altogether - the five aggregates giving the illusion of existence.
I think you 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'.

9:00 Beyond the tetralemma. That is extraordinary how a man came to this realization. Namo Arya Maitreya Bodhisattva.🙏
To bridge science and Buddha wisdom; see thoughts as unknown invisible things. Thoughts direct and are part of visible things.
Buddhism is a Science Of Mind.
Super beautiful. Thanks
Thanks dude, for the time and energy you put in making of this excellent video!🙏🙏
The path that he spoke about is a solitary path!! You must discover what's on it, and walk it alone!!! He was truly the only mystic that walked this earth. We were truly blessed by his presence!!! Take refuge in the Dhamma and nothing more
I wish more people will watch this video.
I might add something about the nirvana. Knowing who you are and finding out the reality is the same as knowing everything about the universe. People who understand know this.
Yes, nirvana is important. Please allow me to interrupt. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar.

@buddhaexhumed9922 I believe the problem is not in the teaching or the way it was taught. The problem is the way you seek things. It doesn't matter what or who Buddha actually was. Truth is in the Dhamma. In the teachings. Of course, we need to carefully check and find out which words were his actual words. Once you realise what that actually meant, you will know this was Buddha. Focus your effort on meaningful things. People can create a lot of nonsense. That's why buddha said, "Don't believe things because it's written in a book. If someone said it, so or even i said it" now you see why he said that. His words can be manipulated over the time. So teachings can be truly understood by dissecting with your mind. And that would depend on how intelligent you are. No one can grow an understanding beyond their own intelligence. So truth depend on you
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE, when I was struck by lightning during September 1970.
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
1:51 Buddhism teaches us that all suffering has a cause and can be overcome. We just need to understand the nature of impermanence and learn to let go
The individual soul is just a relative phenomenon, like in Buddhism. The Atman doesn't generate karma!!! Karma is generated in a subtle body that rules a body, mind, and prana. The Atman in Advaita-Vedanta is Universal Consciousness = Brahman. Brahma is not involved in karma! Greetings from London.🙂A very GOOD podcast! Thank you!
The man who uses his Buddhi to seek the ultimate thing in life can become a Buddhimaan. It takes much more than that to become a Buddhan.
Even in the gospel of Phillip he says..'The words we give to earthly realities engender illusion,they turn the heart away from the Real to the unreal.'
"Very good. Excellent, it is as if someone were to light a lamp in a dark room so that those with eyes could see..."
The mind is the universe
Wonderful post, thnx!
But,
Grasshopper asks,
"Can one concentrate completely and practice the lesson as unrelated advertisements meticulously interrupt the wonderful narrative? Grasshopper's self answers, "Of course not. But it does illustrate how the "World got in the way" excuse, prevails even while Buddha's teachings reach out to whom may listen... 😅
Long live the Revolution,
pertaining to the Earth around the Sun...
It's not like i have all the answers, it's just that questions don't bother me now.
Prior to Buddha also there was concept of Nirvana, hence Buddha explained Nirvana also concept made by mind.
Agreed. Just a concept, nothing more. No matter how many explanations, we do not know what is nirvana but only “what we believe it is.’….
Teachings of the Buddha can be divided in to two parts “Pariyati “ which means theory and “Patipati “( practice which means meditation) . The Buddha laid more emphasis to Patipati . Because only by meditation you can end your sufferings . The videos such a these are Pariyati which has its importance , but to fully understand Buddha’s teachings one must learn meditation also . Also because without meditation this video will become only “vani vilas “ ( spiritual entertainment ) I was fortunate enough to learn the meditation technique whihx is called Vipassana and I can tell you I have been immensely benefited . Not that my sufferings have ended but surely they have reduced . This technique is taught world over under the agies of vipassana research institute ( Vri ) . May all beings be happy
Questoners of the world show that they have not yet been able to distance all away from 'reality. '
Good information sir thank you...
Yes, its truly good information. Please allow me to interrupt. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. In Pidhauli (Vaishali) the local deity is Bardiha Baba. Bardiha means the Baba who didn't allow us to stay where he was staying. Bardiha Baba is the Buddha no doubt because he didn't allow the crowd of Lichavies to stay with him in Bandagama. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to Buddhists.
“The revelation of the true meaning [of the principle of Mahayana can be achieved] by [unfolding the doctrine] that the principle of One Mind has two aspects. One is the aspect of Mind in terms of the Absolute (tathata; Suchness), and the other is the aspect of Mind in terms of phenomena (samsāra; cycles of birth and death). Each of these two aspects embraces all states of existence. Why? Because these two aspects are mutually inclusive.” ~ Mahayanasraddhotpadasastra
Thank you very much. Very well done.❤
Excellent video.
The chain of causation (dependent origination):
Because of ignorance, there is the formation of images, simultaneously with the belief that the mental representation is that which is represented.
This gives rise to the image of myself, the "separate self", the ego, the "I" thought.
Names and forms are then taken by the "I" thought as the ultimate reality.
Thus, through the senses, there is contact between the ego and what it considers to be the basic reality.
This causes feelings and concepts, which generate the desire for repetition. The desire for more brings about becoming. Becoming is the movement of one image pursuing another image.
Becoming gives continuity to the ego, which clings to its fictitious existence, and is the cause of births, with their entourage of suffering.
When there is a real understanding that ideas, concepts, images, representations, mental constructions, names and forms are not the thing in itself, ignorance ceases.
With the cessation of ignorance, the continuity of the fictitious entity, of the simulacrum of being, ceases.
Since the image is not the being or the thing it represents, who or what am I?
Amazing video 🙏
Do u know what u r saying? It's extremely deep realisation human has ever reached. Whoever knows this is dangerous human ❤ from east sikkim sumin lingzey ❤️
The self is continuous transforming so it doesn’t exist. Thoughts are invisible but still exist
I would love to read this talk because I cant remember the soken words. How can I do this ?
Touch on the title of video .. 14 questions.. then click Transcript
Thank u so much for this
Excellent! 🙏🙏🙏🌹
Excellent video. I agree teaching the dharma without fully understanding the teachings can be harmful, and the parable of the snake is a good example. I didn't know that teaching of the Buddha.

3:00 This answered a question that has been on my mind about Cittamatra (mind only) I was thinking in terms of the world and the universe. How is the material world the mind? Is mind only subjective or objective? Buddha was talking about a phenomenology not science. Everything is mind is subjective.
Great content
I think 💭
Every believes or religion has some sort of path and at list they are good deeds within it
Have a good one 1️⃣
Buddha is the most understood history. He had been mistaken himself.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that the Buddha’s teachings have often been subject to various interpretations, which can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. The Buddha encouraged his followers to question and test his teachings rather than accepting them blindly. This approach is meant to foster personal understanding and insight.
If you feel there are specific aspects of the Buddha’s teachings or historical accounts that have been misunderstood or misrepresented, it would be great to discuss these further. Clarifying these points can help us all gain a deeper, more accurate understanding of his teachings and their implications for modern life. Please feel free to share more about what you think has been mistaken or overlooked. Such discussions are valuable for everyone interested in these teachings.

Thanks for this succinct transmission of the Tathagata's teaching.
A request, as the USA drawlling accent is not easy to listen to, could you find another narrator? Someone who also knows the correct pronunciations of Pali, Prakrit and Sansktrit terms.
Tathagata is Tat-ha-ga-ta not Tatfagator.
😅
👏🏻😁👏🏻
👍👍👍
I believe Sakshi bhav or Being observer of life karma, life experiences and world is Nirvana
🙏🙏🙏
Buddha's goal was not to end suffering, that is one of the goals effects. The goal is Beingness.! You don't create and idea by resisting a limitation. Buddha's teachings were relative to the capacity of its seekers, for me there's a distinction in guidance and teaching that creates different effects.
Sadhu 🧡
I am not a Buddhist, I follow my own clarity of Bliss from the shoulders of Soul, no other reveals truth, IT IS ONLY SELF RECOGNIZED, it is never ever taught, but can be guided towards.
So, why do you use Buddha's, when you have your own? I challenge buddhists often because Buddhists are followers, not finders, it's called dogma for a reason, even Buddha made reference to this, awaken to the Bliss of Soul
That's what you learnt or know , but Buddha himself finding how to end this life cycles (born as a child crying (suffering), old become sick (crying bcuz suffering from pain) and die (crying bcuz of suffering from leaving all behind including love one). Simple to say living is a trouble than happy. After he knows everything is just temporary, he start the journey to find out the answer how to end this cycle life and get the answer become God(remember even god got sick and died from sick after that he end the life cycle have peaceful). Well, some Buddha may be different from what I telling. Bcuz even the same Buddhist , will have different story.

If everything and everyone is what is left of all that is not - the moment the reliance on only seeking what is known and not expanding the plural of exploration and experience based upon what is known then there is nothing new, ergo if there are more than one true answer - maybe before even having the chance - to explore if that is the case, per se, the only truth left of not having explored the different perspectives/perceptions/interpretations/views of the question in itself the only option left is conclusively an answer that not is any answer.
For example, one who ever only asks the same person the same questions has already set the answer to be limited per decision to actually be an answer that already exists and then any other answer that could be acceptable must be left within what it clearly is not which could be counted as the non-self, considering it's a part of whatever none of us know/knows and that is all that is known of. There is only one way out of it.
What else do we need in life besides freedom from suffering? According to Buddha, the wisest person in the universe is the one who seeks liberation from suffering. He believed that all universal questions are embedded within our sufferings.
Buddha posed a critical question: If you believe that God created the world, why don't you ask God why He created suffering instead of a world of eternal happiness? If God is the creator, then why did He create murderers, cheaters, rapists, liars, the poor and the rich, birth and death?
If God has the power of forgiveness, why not create a world of perpetual happiness? Why does the creator allow the drying of tears, crying, and the misery of sentient beings? Buddha considered such beliefs to be blind faith and provided universal answers through logic and reason.
Buddha taught that the universe operates under the law of cause and effect. He advised against blind faith, even in his own teachings. Buddha said that God will not come to save us when we are suffering or dying, and there is no guarantee that God will come after life.
Buddhism offers teachings that allow us to realize the truth before we die. Therefore, it is worthwhile to follow these teachings, as they help us understand the truth of life before our death.
Suffering will cease when you die.
@ricardosimatupang3529 When we sleep, all our six senses are collapsed and our body is like dead body.
During afterlife(dead state of mind) and sleep state of our mind both are same nature bcuz afterlife there is no six senses.
If we dream while we are sleeping then there is suffering in afterlife.
But if we don't dream then there is no suffering in afterlife.
Dreams are sufferings bcuz in the dream we run, fight, starved, etc..
In the dream state of mind, we experience emotions and emotions are suffering.
Thus, if sleeping state of mind has no emotions and Dreams makes us no suffering. But if we dream and experience emotions then there is suffering in afterlife.
Things that are infinite, the Buddha cannot give answers (negativity or giving words of fix answers), due to the power of the Buddha words and the power of the words in manifestation of an unfortunate event may happen and its karma.
In a nutshell, think positively.
Buddha declares remarkably "the 62 kinds of wrong views" that is not His teaching and the reason and why to His discipels. (DN- 1. Brahmajala`:Sutta) Although many people ask Buddha but the answers are not the same because of questioners' qualities. Buddha has already taught his discipels remarkable doctine(on the roots and causes of wrong views) in detail. If someone want to know the answers for those questions, study it.
Thank you for highlighting the Buddha’s teachings on the ‘62 kinds of wrong views’ as detailed in the Brahmajala Sutta, @wint7031. This sutta indeed offers a comprehensive look at various incorrect perceptions and assumptions that can lead to misunderstanding and suffering. It’s fascinating how the Buddha adapted his teachings based on the specific needs and abilities of his questioners, which reflects his deep understanding and compassion.
Your point that those interested in deeper insights should study these teachings directly is well-taken. It underscores the importance of engaging with the texts themselves to gain a fuller understanding of Buddhist doctrine and its practical applications. For anyone looking to understand the roots of wrong views and how to overcome them, the Brahmajala Sutta is indeed an essential read. If you have any specific passages or concepts from this sutta that you found particularly enlightening, please share them. It would be great to discuss these teachings further and explore their relevance in our lives today.
Buddha cannot or does not promise us heaven although his teaching looks good!
Hi one doubt 2:55 “He attained enlightenment about the mind,not about the world or universe”
1)Do you mean to say he doesn’t know about the world or the universe or do you mean to say it was not of his concerns?
2)When he is enlightened about mind doesn’t it makes him to know all?

He was explaining about non-dualities.
7:32 Buddha at Kosambi with disciples, narrating the fact of knowing lot more than what his disciples can learn.
It is Guru who knocks us out of our present orbit to the next one, otherwise seen as evolution. Bereft of Guru, we all are locked in the infinite loop getting repeated deja vus over and over.
Thank you for sharing that perspective, Kattar Hindu. The story of the Buddha at Kosambi highlights his profound understanding and his role as a teacher, or Guru, guiding his disciples beyond their current states of knowledge and experience. This idea resonates with the broader spiritual concept that a guru or teacher can catalyze significant growth and transformation in their disciples, helping them evolve beyond their current limitations.
Your mention of the guru as someone who helps break the cycle of repetitive experiences, or "infinite loops," aligns well with the Buddhist goal of overcoming samsara-the cycle of rebirth and suffering. This relationship between teacher and disciple is crucial in many spiritual traditions for achieving deeper insight and progression on the path.
If you'd like to discuss further the impact of such teachings or explore more about the role of spiritual teachers in different traditions, I'd love to continue this conversation. Your insights highlight an important aspect of spiritual growth and evolution.
Absolutely dear Atmabandhu! I'm a humble disciple of BrahmaSree Karunakara Guru, the latest sage gifted to mankind to help all to grow enough to free themselves from their static evolution stopping orbits to access new ones. Brahma Sree Karunakara Guru is also considered to be Gautham Buddha's rebirth. All my knowing stems from what He said and didn't say.
9:00 This must be why questions about God were irrelevant to the Buddha. They do not alleviate suffering.
Buddhism doesn't believe the existing of SOUL. People simply reborn some where else after they die.
Science causes suffering
Farmers didn't make nuclear missiles. The only area where science reducing suffering is medicine. Best Wishes
Some questions Buddha doesn't answer because unnesecarry and waste of time Buddha says I only taught a leaf in the jungle .
2. 1st thing come in mind then reality
Buddha was taught the major upanishads (that preceded him) by his 10 gurus. What he preached was essentially an extract and an elaboration of these teachings. He didn't really answer the question about the ultimate reality (this was either misunderstood or twisted by subsequent Buddhist scholars). After his nirvana, Buddhist monks found a need to preach Buddhism as a separate faith.
The Buddha would not have answered very many questions for a very simple reason. Does anyone even know why !?
Rather than this watch the biography of Buddha u'll understand
Looking for the source of the arrow
No matter how long ago, this sounds like today's transcript of anyone to anyone, political, scientific or religious.. its all just judgement - on anything and everything that isnt exactly like that which judges.
I think you are confused about impermanence.
Impermanence isn't about things constantly changing. Did the Buddha ever say that? This is later commentarial development.
In fact, if things were constantly changing, you wouldn't make sense of your existence/experience. However, things do have some level of stability. But that apparent stability is based on shaky grounds. What it depends on can cease at any moment. That is impermanence. And this is why what it impermanent is also suffering: things we rely on can cease at any moment.
Let's take our consciousness. Do we experience consciousness as this flickering constantly changing phenomenon? No. To us, consciousness is kind of permanent. However it relies on a basis which we cannot control and which can cease at any point: this living breathing body-mind complex. Should anything happen to our body (heart attack, suffocation, thrombosis, etc.), this seemingly permanent consciousness would cease right there and then (as we currently know it, let's set aside the notion of rebirth in this discussion).
This is an inescapable truth : we must live while our ego and consciousness depend on a basis which we do not control, did not ask for and which can cease at any instant. Is keeping this in mind pleasant or unpleasant? Unpleasant, terrifying!
Where does the escape from this lie then? In recognising that nothing in our subjective experience is "us" or belongs to us, it's never been so, we were just confused. These five aggregates are like borrowed goods. They can be taken away from us at any point. They rely on unownable and impermanent bases by dependant origination.
The most fundamental dependency is at the basis of the chain of dependent origination : consciousness and phenomena (name and form) being co-dependant. We think we have a consciousness, that it is 'our' consciousness. However, consciousness doesn't have an existence of its own, it relies on phenomena to be perceived. Nothing to perceive, no consciousness. It doesn't have an independent existence. Yet, phenomena also don't have an independent existence, they too rely on smth else. That smth else is consciousness. This is why nothing is permanent or ownable. Impermanence and dependency is at the very basis of 'our world" (as perceived by our mind).
This has nothing to do with things constantly changing. Things constantly changing do not force you to relinquish ownership of the 5 aggregates.
There' s no need to contemplate things ceasing or constantly changing to see and understand impermanence. The fact that things manifest is proof of their impermanence. If they were permanent, they wouldn't manifest, they would always be. Hence, what is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.
Best wishes!

If Buddism says that there's no self or soul or Atman then it means clearly that they have not reached the real state of Atman. Only making excuses of this kind will not help the problem solve it.
God is not in idols he is beyond name and form.
HOW DO YOU KNOW? HOW DO YOU KNOW EVEN HE IS OR SHE IS?
Who cares.
Who cares.since we don't seek god.
Easiest way Chant the Divine name Ramkrishna
Rama - who showers bliss
Krishna - who attracts everyone
All divine are powerful it depends on who you are
Very true indeed!
Siddhartha didn't answer these questions because they ultimately don't matter. Since you will see that there WAS NEVER A YOU HERE......what does it matter where quote unquote humans came from, if there is a soul or not, or if this universe is eternal or not. Those exoteric questions will eventually fall away.
