Buddha and to a lesser exten Mahavira destroyed Kshatriyas from the inside. They gave begger bowls in the hands of kshatriyas instead of weapons. India's defence was compromised and India started to fall into the hands of foreign invaders one after another.
Rubbish, Dharma doesn’t even mean the method, it means the way or path; that’s why the Buddha’s teachings are call called the middle way. For your information,you’re not practicing Buddhism if you’re not following the Dharma.
Respectfully, this is not entirely accurate. It is correct that Buddha was raised Hindu - but he concluded through his own direct experience that acetic life wasn’t the answer to ending all suffering (attaining enlightenment) and the loops of samsara. Buddha’s teachings DID sprout from a Hindu household, but Hinduism does not contain Buddha’s teaching. Specifically the teachings on Bodhicitta and the different paths from Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. You will find similar teachings in Hinduism but you will not find the specific root that Buddha introduced to the world which is the concept of Bodhicitta and the methods to manifesting it. Also, Buddhism is non-theistic which differs from Hinduism. While Buddhism acknowledges the existence of god/gods as well as all other realms, it points to the state of Buddhahood as being something else. Neither the Vedas nor Hinduism operate from this view point. I’ll close with this, my intention isn’t to down-talk Hinduism in any way with this comment (as I think it is a beautiful path), but rather to explain the key differences in the teachings, which are important because many want to know the differences between Buddhism and Hinduism and there aren’t very many answers from the Buddhist perspective (that I’ve seen).
This is like saying that bottled water did not originate from clouds because it has added minerals. Indeed, Buddhism charted its own course. But Hinduism is not a singular religion but very diverse tent of Indic (not just Indian) thoughts with numerous orthodox and heterodox systems including even explicit atheism. In fact, the globally best-known school of Hinduism is Advaita which is nondualistic, and thus, not theistic.
@@ekamsat429 I hear you my friend. I think you should read my response again maybe. The point is to acknowledge that Buddha's teachings are far different from any sect of Hindusim, including but not limited to Brahma Theory and Vedanta teachings as well (as Buddhism also doesn't teach "oneness". I was actually shocked to discover this myself. The actual teachings themself take an entirely different approach to explaining the path of enlightenment. There are many videos that point out the differences between the two schools of thought and their approaches to the path of Enlightenment. Once again, I'm not trying to downplay Hinduism as I said, rather just highlight that there are some key differences that are VERY important to understanding Buddha's Dharma specifically, and not throw it into an umbrella of Hinduism as the Complete teachings are not covered in any school of Hinduism. As someone who was previously a Advaita Vedanta student prior to discovering Tibetan Buddhism, I can tell you first hand that it's extremely important for the preservation of Buddha Dharma that the Buddha's teaching is not painted with a broad brush stroke of stemming from Hinduism as Buddha was actually shunned by his Ascetic friends for abandoning the Ascetic path and forging his own. Later he met his Ascetic friends and the became his students. This is a key part in the Story of Buddha many should know about before making videos like this.
i havent watched the video fully yet, but buddhism is ***FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT*** (and even CRITICAL and ANTITHETICAL!) of hinduism!!!! these are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. even THERAVADA is a ***COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING*** from Mahayana/ Vajrayana!!! ***ENTIRELY DIFFERENT***.
There is different forms of sex. The way i practice it (tantra) is helping me keeping young and energised. But yeah if you just go for the 2-5 min sex ending in orgasm, then it is not so helpful. Imo.
Shared thoughts on a celibate life? A-sexual? Not looking for jokes...but for true and serious views by those who are living an asexual life and why, would be appreciated.
Haha, i like your question. I am not living that lifestyle and i think its no good. But off course certain periods of celibacy can be very helpful for personal development. But in the end of the day we are humans/animals who are here to reproduce. So i would not go against nature.
