Buddhism and Ghosts | Ajahn Brahm | 10 March 2023 

116 same here. Thank you Ajahn Brahm

I know 108 is supposed to be a special number in Buddhism, but what exactly does it signify?

@@buddhoose9242 Google say this " There are 108 earthly temptations In Buddhism, it is also believed that the road to nirvana is laden with exactly 108 temptations. So, every Buddhist has to overcome 108 earthly temptations to achieve nirvana. In addition, the ring of prayer beads worn around the waist of Zen priests is usually made of 108 beads."

@@gajananbp3359 Interesting, thank you!

It is not as easy as you think. Especially if the ghosts are controlled by certain practitioners of the black magic.

The best is to meditate . The merits you gain from meditation, can be shared like a light of a candle crossing to a different realms. The power of our consciousness

thank u 4 a like

If you need to see them they'll seek you out, but you actively seeking them out can cause them suffering as it could cause them to cling to this realm rather than moving beyond.

@@philipm3173 oh, is that how it is? Well this realm pretty much sucks, imo, so if better lies ahead, I wouldn't want to do that to them.

@@mvann5 well what makes this realm hard imo is all the ignorance

They need anger management 😂

Gautama buddha believed in mind that takes forms and reincarnates.

You are too quick to express your opinions which is formed from limited knowledge. First the concept of soul is a western concept.

​@@sauryangupta4628 Buddhists believe in the mind consciousness that travels from life to life. Reincarnation.

@jeremiahm3026 the difference?

@jeremiahm3026 🙏

And what is the right perspective then. Enlighten us oh great one.

@@philtwowheels saddharma pundarika sutra offers one perspective.

@@philtwowheels no need for sarcasm...if you like stories, go ahead. If you want truth, then take efforts to find it

Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter. So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.

It is more than doing good deeds and expecting next Life. The goal to reach Nirvana by Meditating and practing Buddha's teaching.

​@@AGGARessiv3 compassion n wisdom. Doing good merits and cultivating the mind via meditation etc

@@sueloh5035 absolutely ❤

@@derekward3512 Ofcourse. Full of fairy tales and superstitions.
