Really informative video! Great refresher of the main teachings of Buddha. Namo Buddhaya🙏🏻☸️ Quick tip - Dukkha is pronounced ‘doo-k-ha’ rather than ‘duck-ha’. Hope this helps🥰
Well only the Theravda really matters since it's based on the actual teachs of Sidartha Guatama. The other schools are the teaching adapted my the Chinese and etc almost 100 yrs after the Buddha death
84000 methods are 84000 medications to heal the sickness of sentient beings. Not all medicines are suitable for everyone. Unlike the Infinite Life Sutra, it is the ultimate medication that is suitable for all sickness encounter by sentient beings. Infinite Life Sutra is one is for all. The entire Infinite Life Sutra explain only one subject : the power of chanting the Amitabha Buddha name. (Amituofo).
This is the view of Mahayana Buddhism, you just practice what you believe. However, if possible, you can learn more about the Pali Canon, which is considered closest to the words of Buddha Shakyamuni, to gain more perspective on Buddhism 🙏🙏🙏
All the 84000 methods are spoken for the convenience of sentient beings. When sentient beings three conditions belief, vow and practice are matured then only will the Buddha will speak the Infinite Life Sutra. The time and conditions are matured for sentient beings to attain rebirth into Western Pure Land and become a Buddha in this lifetime. All Buddhas in all Ten Directions appears have only one mission : to expound the Infinite Life Sutra.

All actions committed has a corresponding set of consequences born of the causality of the action committed. All actions committed with malevolent intent gives rise to unwholesome karma /causalities all action committed with benevolent intent gives rise to wholesome karma/ causalities. Karma itself doesn't aub categorise as good or bad, it's the causality effect created by the causality been perceived as desirable or undesirable that makes us interpret it as good and bad. Since causalities created by specifically the individual, the resultant is equally specific to the individual. It's not transferable to another individual. Most people, particularly in the West, are severely misinformed about karma or causality. Many think it to be a punishment tool or reward tool, some seek or anticipate vengeance through it. Others think its fate or a form of predestiny. It's none of that. Karma is simply conscious action carried out that creates causality in which gives rise to what happens in the next moment. Causality is created as a concious response to sensory stimuli. We create causality every quantum second of life due to a greed or aversion mind impetus. It is this causality creation that gives rise to the arising of the future moments, which when strung together creates the illusion of continuity we call life. All causality lines it's self up for executing and thus creating the next moment in a priority matrix based on a complex set of laws (morefully explained in the tripitaka the doctrine of the Buddha). But it's not static or predestined. It's constantly sorting in order of magnitude and priority. So what you do now can re-sort the line-up in the matrix. Both “good” karma born of past benevolent thought and actions as well as “bad" karma born of malevolent thought and actions done in the past line up in order of execution in the same matrix. Infact technically there's nothing called good karma bad karma, that is a human creation based on if the effect is desirable or not desirable. Stop creation of causality thereby stopping the propagation of the self in a space-time-causality continuum called existence is the crux of the doctrine of the Buddha. This is the starting point of that intellectual journey. See if it resonates intellectually with you. The businesses of living is about been subjected to dukkha. What's dukkha... most call it suffering but it's a mistranslitteration of the intended true sense. Let's first get rid of this translitteration error of calling dhukka suffering. Translate it in to dukkha been a "tedious and pointless futile exercise". What is this business called living? The bottom line of living is about a conscious being existing from moment to moment bombarded by sensory stimuli from the 6 senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, other tactile sensors and mind), to which the being has one of 3 possible reactions. Neutral, in which case the corresponding reaction is likely nonwillful but autonomous according to the beings body physio-chemistry. Pleasurable, in which case the being likes it and wilfully exerts effort to acquire this set of stimuli, sustaining it, and reacquiring it. This is called the greed reaction. Displeasureable, in which case the being dislikes it and wilfully exerts effort to avoid this set of stimuli, escape it. This is called aversion reaction. Every second the reality of life or existence is about reaction in one of the above ways. Nothing more nothing less. No sensory stimuli is permanent. It arises, exists for a defined duration then attenuates. That's because the causality that gave rise to the conditions of stimuli itself is ever changing and impermanent. When the causality prevails the stimuli driven sensation comes in to being, when the causality attenuates so does the stimuli and sensation… Life is about existence in the space-time-causality continuum called samsara… which is impermanent and always in a state of flux. Another universal truth is that there are more displeasureable stimuli than pleasurable stimuli. At the very least, between one moment and the next, on the moments on either side of a pleasurable stimuli, before and after, are 2 displeasureable stimuli, before the effort put to acquire the pleasure stimuli, after the displeasure of the inevitability of the pleasure stimuli attenuating. We're duped by the joy of the pleasure stimuli in to believing life is worth living for this pleasureable stimuli though the reality is that there's more displeasureable stimuli experienced by the being in the business of living. This is the “viparinama dukkha” where at minimum you are in a cycle of displeasureable stimuli→Pleasurable stimuli→displeasureable stimuli. But there are also 12 types of dhukkas that crowd the cycle in reality. These reaction propagation can be called mental volition samskara or naama. What is samskara? It is the combination of physical matter the body with consiousness that we call a living being. They coexist in a joint venture one feeding off the other from moment to moment. The reality of physical matter proven by quantum physics, is that it's a propagating energy wave. There's nothing solid or permanent. A quanta arises, sustains, attenuates only to arise again. Uthpada thithi bhanga cycle according to the doctrine of the Buddha. Nothing solid but a propagating energy wave… one cycle of the wave is a creation of the immediate past cycle of the wave and the next cycle is a creation of the current cycle of this present moment. This happens every quantum second. This is the impermanence of matter samskara ruupa. Add now to this consiousness, which is fed by stimuli encountered by the physical body, born of physics/chemistry physical nature of the universe (or imagination of the mind which is still electrochemistry of the brain), to generate one of the 3 types of reactions… Naama ruupa samskara operating in tandem reduces the definition of existence to nothing more than a propagation of the self in a space-time-causality continuum called existence or samsaara. If one looks at the matter analytically, one awakens to the truth that existence is a futile purposeless businesses of a never-ending cyclic propagation the carrot being the statistically lesser number of aggregate pleasure stimuli overwhelmed equally statistically by a greater number of displeasureable stimuli, the latter camouflaged by the greed for the former. Thus the two concepts converge to the absolute awakening to the truth, dukkha arya sathya, the first noble truth. Fortunately there are 4 noble truth in all and there's a way out of this predicament… complete stoppage of the propagation of the self in a space-time-causality continuum called existence, a state of nonexistence called nirvana. How to go about that is the rest of the doctrine of the Buddha…
Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🙏🙏
😊
Excellent info for the teaching of Buddha.sadhu sadhu sadhu🙏🏻
🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏
Origin of Buddha Teaching is in only Five Nikaya...as discover right now as in King Asoka...record...🙏🙏🙏
.... 4 Noble Truth....
.... Buddhism.....
🙏🙏🙏
And this 84000 sutras is just from Theravada tradition. Now imagine how many could be there in Mahayana and Vajrayana tradition?

I thought it was pronounced Dukkha (doo-kah)
Dhakka is not a proper pronounced. It's 'doo-kka'.
