what the buddha understood is an uncharacteristically advanced intuitive concept of particle physics.
You are making conceptions here and teaching of Buddha is to go beyond conceptions. What Buddha had experienced, experience it yourself. 😊
Most amazing simple explanation...love it..
Very helpful, thanks..👍👨🎨🎨☺️🎉🥰🙏☝️
Summarize and crystallize the Shurangama Sutra ( ie the King of Sutras), to paraphrase,
"Every sentient living being has buddha-nature, is capable of attaining Buddhahood, and each travels a different Path of Enlightenment"!
We are the only living beings that hoard our dead. 🙏
Thank you for this teaching.
22:23 "...but, wake up to this moment."
Wow, I really like this guy. Glad he popped up in my feed. San Diego Zen student here
Great to see you!
sitting by the fire as it is just getting light, listening to your talk. Where else would i want to go? Thanks!
You are welcome!
I stopped at RT-12:13 OK several problems here before my stopping point, lets get into it. I will blame most of the confusion on ZEN which seems to think the only thing Buddha taught was emptiness. Upon seeing the morning star the experience is called "the three watches of the night" which led to enlightenment. He saw the coming and going of beings and how their karma determined their destination. Reincarnation was proven REAL and Buddha saw all his past lives(zen basically ignores karma because it is a truncated flawed version of Buddhism). But it was the understanding of KARMA which led to Buddha's enlightenment, he already had the emptiness understanding. The first step of the 8 fold path is "right view" such that includes karma, rein carnation and realms being understood to be the true nature of reality. The 8 fold path is sequential, without right view there is no right meditation, right livelihood, etc. Now the guy in the video says enlightenment is ONENESS with everything, this is called a false view by the Buddha because it denies the separateness of beings. If this oneness existed when the Buddha got enlightened all beings and the universe would have been enlightened and that is not the case is it. This is the truth what this guy says is ignorance mixed with wisdom.
Brilliant explanation. Buddha could understand and see karma -- in a sense, he made the first truly free act of will. All prior acts were compromised by determinism. By being able to see the whole picture, he could avoid the next movement in the sequence. I could easily be wrong here, I have no ego behind any of my thoughts.
What is karma to you? I feel most western definition are a deep misunderstanding.
@@OompaLoompaFu Karma creates beings and worlds, just like in dreams . in reality these are caused by group karma so it is not wholly personal karma like in a dream
@@enstigatorofficial Interesting. I don't fully grasp what you're saying. Could you elaborate? You're onto something...
@@OompaLoompaFu when you dream your own mind makes worlds and beings to interact with based on personal karma. But wait wasn't God supposed to be the one who makes worlds and beings so then what use is there for a creator god?
Thank you for your wisdom.
You are welcome!
Andrew Yang has similar message for us/Is he a reborn of this century budda?
Thank for your insight teaching..
A truly amazing teaching! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
14:10 "But the Buddha said, 'There's a way out of that. There's a way toward freedom."
thank you again for another amazing talk.
I like this explination very much
🙏🙏🙏
If you were to say that I wasn't enlightened then you would be right.
I don’t need to be a monk to know this💯
Correct!
{I love youtube}
I get the “don’t know” explanation but run into the eightfold path. One says go with anything the other has a way to apply and master. There needs to be a balance there.
Do everything with the right intentions that covers everything
Wonderful!
It's a nice thing to think we are more.We are here to deal with limitations that's why we have a body and fear death we set our own limits and stick to them religiously. Try to be better every day simple life is a journey the beginning is very close to the end....no one has the answer it is a fun little idea releases and orphans do un others and you know the rest
There's a reason the Buddha remained quiet when he first became enlightened. It happened again and it was the birth of Zen Buddhsim. That was his ultimate teaching. I miss my old stomping grounds on san pablo and university ave:) If theres something to attain, people want it.
🙏🙏🙏
Yea got all that but how does one turn down the intensity of it? Lol
what was Buddha's enlightenment, knows only Buddha. who confirmed an enlightenment of master Bon Soeng?
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping.
an eyes see, an ears hear. .......................................and nothing more.
finally an enlightened mind, me saw, was the consciousness of master Seung Sahn.
I explain what happens before and after complete enlightenment on my channel

...this moment is an expression of love.
12:43 "We suffer because we can't handle it"
I feel hungry
I want to eat food and then read a book. Now I see a video I am commenting on

@@JasonQuinn well happy vacation tomorrow 😃
@@raul-cv5lz Ohhhh. Thank you very much! Have a clear week.
Why would anyone want enlightenment? It doesn't mean anything.
Suffering-mind
Anger- frustration
Absent mind
Memories
Desire
So many waves on shore.
I guess enlightenment dissolves everything and we wake up to the universe.
Enlightenment like the one Buddha experienced is something know one would want but the stage before was great and can be achieved by anyone. It happens when you refuse to suffer anymore accept everything completely good or bad and stop trying and let everything go and accept your life is fate.
Enlightenment is everything
