- Do you need to believe everything taught in Buddhism? Rebirth, karma, etc.? What about rituals and ceremonies? Let's talk in this video about what "faith" means in Buddhism...it's not what you expect, but is crucial!
Canki Sutta. Majjhima Nikaya 95, Buddha talks about the preservation of truth through Faith and the discovery of truth through Faith. ☸️🙏 Namo Buddhaya
Hey Alan, I'm new to Buddhism, and while I have no difficulty believing in the Four Noble Truths, samsara, rebirth, no supreme God, karma, no self, I have difficulty in believing in certain supernatural gains of serious meditation (walking through walls, telepathy, etc).
I do believe the Buddha taught many things that were ahead of his time and that science has confirmed (matter cannot be created or destroyed, cause and effect, nature of impermanence) but I'm having a hard time believing in the miracles\supernatural aspects I mentioned above since we cannot prove them.
I would appreciate your advice and your take. Thank you.
Thank you for this. Excellent timing. My daughter and I are viewing our local temple this Saturday in the Bay Area. I’d love to stop by the temple your go to when we take a trip down south in April! It’s hard when you have no community. We have been studying for years but feel we need a community to move us forward!
That’s great! Yes, it’s helpful even if you can’t go all the time. And depending on temple, they may be “online” in different ways to bridge the gap in between. Hope you enjoy Hsi Lai when you eventually visit! (Be sure to go to their website first because right now you have to do a free reservation time due to the pandemic but it’s easy to do)

Maintaining "don't know mind."
Thank you for these videos, new to learning about Buddhism and these videos really help understanding. It seemed really difficult at 1st to learn and it was a bit intimidating
Great to hear! Let me know if any questions.
🙏🙏🙏
Can you do chants in English. And I also Do Buddhist prayers
Hi, Victoria! Yes, you can do chanting in English, but it's perhaps the least popular way. The reason is that it can be a bit challenging to find a harmonic tone (although that can absolutely be done), and it takes longer! When chanting in sanskrit, pali, or native tongues like chinese, japanese, etc., it just flows easier and faster. If you'd like an example, you can see my chanting of the Heart Sutra here: ruclips.net/video/U34u44S9dKw/видео.html
What do you think of kampada tradition
I don't have any personal experience, but from what I understand it's a Tibetan tradition. However, I've read online that there is a "new" version of that some have concerns about. You may want to do more research on this and ask questions. Again, it's a tradition I don't have any experience with.
