I am left with the impression that for Bhikkhu Bodhi, his discourse on the Noble Eightfold Path arises out of personal experience. His words paint the experience. I point this out because for those sensitive to the difference between words painting an experience versus words describing a conceptual framework, this discourse is sharing at the profound level of wisdom . . . it builds a "bridge of knowing" between people. This is why I thank you, Bhikkhu Bodhi.

Bhikkhu Bodhi is brilliant. And more important, he cares about helping people free themselves.

To the woman who asked how Lord Buddha became so kind to animals. My idea is that when he became deeply absorbed in meditation during the night of enlightenment, his saw this cycle of birth, death, and rebirth taking shape in different forms of lives including animals. Thus, our family, friends, relatives...etc in prior lives may be present in the form of animals. Therefore, bringing suffering should be avoided not only to humans but also animals. We should be compassionate for all sentient beings.

I'm thankful for this video and lesson. Also I think they are talking a bit disrespectfully to bhikkhu Bodhi in the Q&A at the end, but that might be just me, just the manners and the way these people talk, something feels off.

What a sad question by that woman at the end.. "where did he (the Buddha) get his feelings for animals", implying they don't feel joy, pain, anxiety, desperation.. I hope one day she's cured from her deeply rooted ignorance regarding a rather simple issue to understand.

We live in a society where speciesism is prevalent, or at least take for granted in many places. I'm not aware of how insensitive this woman is (perhaps she just phrased a poorly-worded question), but in any case, I too share your hope that eventually all humans realize how ALL life is significant, not just our species of homo sapiens. I think this will occur as the collective consciousness slowly becomes raised.

Empiric Wisdom bit harsh in speech for such an enlightened one without flaw

@komoeminwin4140 4 года назад

Great Speech

Empiric Wisdom Well, the question is a sad one but she might not have meant what you thought. We can mean one thing when we ask a question and then ask a completely different kind of question than the one that would get us the answer we’re really looking for. Framing and wording are powerful tools that can be misused and which can be used to unintentionally communicate completely different feelings than ones we feel. She might have just meant, did he have an experience that made him especially sympathetic to the conditions of (other) animals, because if we look at our world, it seems difficult to envision the utter cessation of the human tradition of eating meat and treating some animals as pests. She may be more human-centric than utterly disbelieving of the sentience of animals.

@charlesbivens6757 2 года назад

She sad where did he (Buddha) get his feelings…” and did not state animals do not have feelings so on the contrary she is not implying not explicitly stating animals do not have feelings. She is merely asking where his concern for animals came from? Was it part of his enlightenment? Etc. You should probably change your handle from Empiric Wisdom t something more suitable.
