And today, with all the ecological destruction happening out of financial and political greed, his approach seems almost necessary for our collective survival.
Sir thankyou somuch for making these videos, its so soothing and sublime. It gives me peace and containtment. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sir i would request you if you can please make videos on buddhism especials madhyamika, nagarjuna and his theory of emptiness and dependent origination. It my humble request to you.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for your kind words! I see many requests for Buddhism videos recently, but unfortunately, I am not a Buddhism expert. But I will look into it and see if I can find a way to make some videos on these topics, perhaps by collaborating with someone who has the necessary expertise. Thanks!
That was a great video! Your editing is really well put together, and your voice is so easily understood. Schweitzer isn’t someone I knew, but his philosophical concept of god is definitely something I’ve thought.
Thank you so much! I know that the audio is not very good. Depending on what device one is using, it can sound terrible. I'm working on improving my audio skills, so let's hope the next one will sound better.
But all animal life can only survive by consuming other life? How does he address this? And is reverence for your own personal life part of his philosophy?
Hi! I cannot presume to answer for him, but if I'd have to guess, I imagine he might say that we have to do what is necessary for our own survival, but without inflicting unnecessary suffering on other creatures. So if you can eat plants instead of meat, you'd minimise suffering because plants don't seem to be capable of suffering to the same extent as mammals. If you have to eat meat because of some compelling reason, you should make sure that it has been obtained with minimal suffering of the animal involved. This would already go a long way towards respecting life, and would be completely different from what we are doing now, where we are torturing animals daily in our meat production facilities, while most people look away and don't want to know where their steak comes from. In the end, living a moral life is an aspiration. Nobody can achieve perfect holiness in their everyday lives, but we can try, or we can ignore the ethical demands placed on us. Schweitzer just wants us to more consciously try to do the right thing, even if it will necessarily be incomplete.
I love the work and philosophical beliefs of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. I hope to follow his teachings on Reverence for Life and carry on his legacy.
