Thanks for somebody from this channel recommended the book what the Buddha taught by Rahula Walpola and I would also like to recommend the book Acaria Mun Bhuridatta which is on RU-vid both are AMAZING books However I have a problem with Annata because Buddha also talks about citta Therefore citta is atma or soul or self
I am from Sri lankan. You know Sri lanka is terawadi buddism culturel country. Actually I feel very very happy because the world become to change to rise for knowing the real truth wich had been said by our teacher lord buddha. I would like to invite to all of u come to Sri Lanka and visit our teacher's valuble relics of temple of thooth Kandy Town and Ruwanvelly temple.

Would love to visit Lodon Buddhist Vihara and attend your lectures dear sir. Profound teaching of the dhamma. Even the buddha would praise you sir... in my humble opinion 🙏
Sir, thank you for your wonderfully kind words. Mr Richard Jones passed over in 2018. But the Dhamma remains and is taught by various skilled and wise teachers. More information can be found at www.londonbuddhistvihara.org.
May he attain his aspired bodhi with all merits we acquire. What a great teacher, what a loss for us. I visited LBV many times ages ago. (especially remember when Ven Soma visited many years ago) Now I live in Sri Lanka. Shall visit website and visit LBV one day in person... hopefully ;) 🙏 🙏 🙏
@@hasalakaarampola1607 You can also watch daily live stream videos on LBV's Facebook or here on RU-vid: www.youtube.com/@londonbuddhistvihara6569/streams
Thank you. I have now downloaded the notes and course materials. However it will take me s few watchings to understand all of this. But thats ok. Thank you for keeping these on youtube too. They are wonderful teachings. With Metta francois
Buddhism like all the religions of India teaches reincarnation and then you have Annata (non self) surely this is contradictory..im confused, was Buddha a annihalist or eternalist?
@sukbhinderlalli2088 Please read Walpole Rahula's 'What the Buddha Taught' for deeper discourse and further elucidation on this subject. The text includes references to the suttas. My recollection is that Richard Jones' Dhamma talks drew upon this seminal text; he greatly admired Walpole Rahula's work and had actually met him and benefitted from some personal instructions from him I believe.
Thank you, thank you. I am starting to understand the citta’s after what seems eons of years. Next Tuesday March 26th 2024 I shall hopefully understand Bhante’s lesson because of listening to Richards talk, twice. It is interesting listening to the people asking questions and realising I recognise the voices years on, so I am obviously not alone or still in the process of leaning. ❤❤❤
I am so grateful for these being on the Internet I find Richard’s talk so illuminating and easy to understand. I listen and watch them over and over again because my brain doesn’t always take everything in, in one go. Many many thanks, and even if I never met this gentleman, at least I can listen and learn.
Buddha's last words: "All individual things pass away. Strive on with diligence." @mestayno, I applaud your intention to diligence on this path. All best wishes and with metta, Paula, Channel Editor.
Image is a name that falls in different meanings. Most of the name of image is used on the bodies. The name of the body is mostly used in the bodies of the gods of human ancestors. Here the body is called divineness, shortness, roundness, squareness, old notes, small baws, fat baws, old dimensions, color, animal, not animal, for all. God's man's animal's body. Stones, trees, buried, leaves and nuts are the same. Fire, water, wind and sun are the same bodies. Mental mythical religions are not bodies because they are a dose of vana and don't show a note in groups, emotional mythics are bodies: "Durangaman Ekcharang - Asareerang caves Yeh Chiththan Sangamesanthi - Mokkhanti Marabandhana Also shows in the word that goes on. Even though the images are overwhelmed, the earthly acts, many of them show a body or a substance which has a certain note in the same time. All the things in the world that are treated as substance or physically are the groups of earthly germs. The substance or the body is not atrocity. A bunch of earthly tooths finder who actually finds the substance facts in the saty. Since they look like non alcohol bodies without alcohol, they are also called the image that they use to call bodies. Paramartha Dharma is divine in name. The three paramartha dharma which does not get a body frequency from them cannot be seen by the body, as the body should not be able to hear the name alone and teeth according to the name. The Paramartha Dhamma part which appeared a body or an image when many were at one place. The image can be seen as the teeth according to the image. The images are the Paramartha Dhamma part which came in groups and showed a body frequency. This is an introduction of image paramount in one way. The image is introduced by the phenomenon, the word image is described by a deeper method. "Ruppathithi kho bhikhwe! Thasma Rupanthi Vachchathi" is how the Lord of theaths complimented the image. "Lady, image is called because it is images" is what it means. Now the teeth should be what makeup is. Dam Senevi Sariyuth Maha Thirun. The term "Ruppapati" was praised in the words "Kuppati Ghattiyathi Peeliyathi" while praising the luscious form. Those words mean "Kipay, attacked by opposition, suffered by opposition". If you know who is the image of it, it should be said that the image of the Dhamma which was attacked by the opposition. The opposite truth is Sheetoshnadiya. Rupaya's cutting is the snake of the cobra, the tiger's cutting, the king's cutting is not a venna, the air shutting, the pitha shutting etc. It's a result of being attacked and suffered from the opposition. The emotional thethics are very delicate and they don't last long enough to be chased by another religion. The life time of the image is sixteen times more than the lifetime, so they are under the opposition's custody. Therefore a figure is only in the image. Image originated by zones or mass mesmerization. It is the nature of many image zones to create another or more image zones of their own nation in order to be ignorant. Imagine artists who were caught by the opposition fail to create similar portrait zones to their generation. Candle image zones are opposed to the heat, but they fail to create similar cut image zones. So after touching the heat, they can produce to themselves and unequal. Here's the diving is to come to fail to create similar image. The wax that was cut before is not meant to come into the beasts. The wax is a result of the form of the wax which was cut before it came into candles. It is anti-dharma that Ruppanaya is going to come to a moment of Rupaya. A supreme dharma has three situations of uprising, status, motion. They don't have a fourth chance. If an image with the touch of winter comes to another misunderstanding, it is a fourth chance of the image. Don't take that bond because you don't get it. This is a deep fact to understand. This is because it's been messed up in many books. Read this over and over and try to understand the point well.
Reality of 8 types of suffering. birth . ageing, sickness, death, seperation from what we love the most. stay with people and things that we dislike or hate. we can't get what we want in life. and suffering from imagination of aggregates
The Buddha was wise by not Accounting for a beginning of the cycle of Change. For there is no beginning, as it is Impossible. All who think, that 'all' could have begun, are caught in ignorance.
The only thing i just can’t understand about all this, is the idea of the many planes… Is there any thing pointing to its existence apart from the buddha’s?
Hello @alanclw6024. There is a website with handouts - the link is on the channel banner. However I have just realised it is broken. Please email me directly for the handouts you require londonbuddhistvideos@gmail.com. I will also let you know when the website is back up and running. With Metta
"Buddha's teachings are like a lighthouse in the storm of life. The more I delve into them, the more I find peace and clarity. Thank you for sharing this enlightenment."
Taddamarana arises as the last moment of consciousness for an individual in the current life. This is the final mental event before the transition to a new existence. The nature of taddamarana is influenced by one's past actions (kamma). Wholesome or unwholesome actions can shape the nature of the final consciousness moment. Prior to taddamarana, there are often javana moments which can be ethically significant and may influence the quality of the final consciousness moment. The object that appears to the mind at the moment of death can be influenced by strong past experiences, habitual actions, or meditative practice. This object could be a kamma (deed), kamma-nimitta (symbol of the deed), or gati-nimitta (symbol of future destiny). Taddamarana specifically pertains to the moment of death. Therefore, it does not arise during the regular flow of consciousness in day-to-day life or other states of mind that are not associated with the end of life. In Buddhist cosmology, different beings experience consciousness differently. Certain realms of existence might have different processes for death and rebirth that do not involve taddamarana in the same way humans do. For non-returners (anagamis) and enlightened beings (arahants), the process of death and rebirth is different. In the case of arahants, there is no rebirth, and their final moment of consciousness is followed by parinibbana, not another existence.
Hello @_notabot_. The Buddha taught the same ‘material’ (the Dhamma / Dharma) on many levels over his long ministry. This beginners series is pretty comprehensive; the only content missing from Richard Jone’s beginners lectures is the prehistory of Buddhism. One day I may add that content for the context - which is illuminating. For a ‘higher’ level of thre same teachings look at the A hiddhamma playlist on this channel or others such as Bhikkhu Bodhi. There you will find much more minute, granular detail of the psychological processes of the Dhamma. Please feel free to email with any questions or to request handouts.
