Christians reacts to Buddhism Buddhism Explained Simply (Is Buddhism True?) 

Buddhism Is Most Peaceful And Greatest Religion In This Universe ☸️ ✨️ ❤️

Lord buddha 😫❤️😍 love from buddhist country sri lanka❤️

I am a buddhist and can answer your question according to my knowledge. Actually we say that he, historical Buddha, our Blessed Teacher, manifested himself in this world as other numberless buddhas do in numberless worlds and universes. His teaching, Dharma, is not constructed from the scratch, but rests in the world and is revealed by the buddhas. The difference between buddha and other enlightened people is that he can reveal and teach Dharma, he studied many lives in different forms before the right place and the right time comes. We treat the story of his princehood as a legend, do not need to prove if it was true or not. In our core heart we are equal, equal in desire of happiness and desire of avoiding suffering. Nobody is born bad, even if one did bad things, would have a chance to change. Life is not suffering just as it is, we create suffering by our wrong doing, doing without consciousness. So, to avoid it, need to stop first of all and think of the causes and affects of actions. If wrong doings are done without consciousness, we need to trigger our consciousness by learning and studying - how to love, how to be happy. And this boundless learning will reveal the buddhahood, ability to teach others who do not know how to avoid suffering and bring everyone to the beyond-ultimate happiness.

There is a big misconception about buddhist statues. Buddhists began to sculpt statues after they met the greeks and for a lot of buddhists: Statues are not objects of idolatry, but reminders of the teachings, and the Buddha is not considered a god but a great spiritual teacher. About the belief in god, there are buddhists who believe in god or gods and there are others who don't. There is a story about the buddha in which he is asked stuff like: "Is there a god?" or "How did the world begin?" And he replied: I DON'T KNOW. There may be a god or not, but this is not important to me as my teachings are centered in the understanding of the nature of reality and specially for a practical approach. The aim of my teachings is above all the overcoming of suffering. Maybe that's the reason why buddhism is in general known for respecting other believes. Note that the Buddha was a really racional teacher as he taught things like: "Never accept any truth, even those which I'm preaching without investigating it by yourself first." He was the most scientific spiritual leader I've ever come across.

Love buddisam from USA 🙏

I'm Buddhist from Nepal I'm Believe in Mahayana Buddhism samsara is very important in Mahayana Buddhism ❤

A western Buddhist living in Canada. Converted from Christianity later in life. Went for Refuge in the Triple Gem, and accepted the Five Precepts at a Theravada temple. I spent a total of six months in south east Asia however, visiting many temples and talking to monks. I will follow the Dhamma for the rest of my life. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏼 ☸️ 🙂

Buddhism if it comes to Africa it should be intergrated to African culture. Buddha has said his teachings shouldn't change the native culture and rules of kings in the country. His teachings must intergrated peacefully with the culture. I'd personally love to see African Buddhism and that culture. Basically Sri Lanka had Animism prior to Buddhism, people worshipped rocks,trees and dead remains of people. So this culture was shifted to Buddhism and people started worshipping Buddha's remains and Relics, saplings of the Bodhi tree and stone statues of Buddha. I really fee l his teachings might very beautifully revive African culture, and in my opinion it's time for African Buddhism don't you think. 🤔.

He got answer through meditation to know why we suffer and how to end suffering....and meditation it means training ur mind in such direction where we get to use six sense in solving the sufferings and its causes

Sri Lankan Theravada Buddhist :)

Love from India the land of Buddha🙏🙏🙏

Buddhism is a great and peaceful religion. As a Buddhist from the USA, I find it very important and it has had a profound impact on my life. I think Lord Buddha has taught me many valuable lessons, such as meditation, which has helped me a lot.❤🎉

As a Buddhist, the only things that get me offended is when people says Buddha said something but he didn't, like for example "Life is suffering", "Desire is the cause of suffering"

BUDDHISM, ALWAYS MAKE PEACEFUL WORLD FOR ALL HUMAN BEING.

Buddhism is way of truth Buddhism is very Deep you can't not mention in one video about Buddhism ☸️🙏🙏🙏😇Namo Buddhaye ❤

He meditated while sitting under the tree; No teacher he had studied under before that was able to give him instructions on how to achieve peace of mind, so he set out to figure it out himself. In fact he took an oath that he would either figure it out, or die in that place.

1. In response to the question: how did Buddha achieve enlightenment through meditation? A: he has practiced what he preached many past lives before. Through mediation, he recollected those knowledge and he decided that it was time to spread them to the world. 2. Expanding this with relation to Christianity, Jesus has similar teachings to the Buddha and in the birth story of Jesus Christ, it was said that three wise man from the east came to Joseph’s house and predicted his destiny. ( This is how the Dalai Lama and other great teachers’s reincarnation are found 3. Reincarnation is originally taught by Jesus and is an inherent nature of what the Buddha expounded.

Most of the information in this video is about buddhist culture & history, there is technical aspect as well. It's about human & cosmic mechanism. But it's very hard to explain in english. If anyone want to know true meaning of Buddhism then you should learn the technical aspects comprehensively. 💫❤️

It is a cool summary but in the end Buddhist teachings are of course wider and deeper than this.

The dharma is immaculate without flaw, it is true not false. We are fortunate to have it as it is very rare in all the worlds

Wow, this video is just what I needed! As a Christian, I've always been curious about Buddhism but never knew where to start. The way it's explained here makes it so easy to understand. I appreciate how the video dives into the core principles of Buddhism and explores its truths. It's great to see open-mindedness and respect towards different religions. Thanks for sharing!

I am here to answer your questions about buddhism.

I CAN RECOMMEND A GOOD BOOK FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED TO LEARN BUDDHISM THAT IS "WHAT THE BUDDHA TAUGHT" BY DR. WALPOLA RAHULA THERO

To simplify, Buddhism is more focused on your mind He said just because I say it or someone says it, re Buddhism or anything else you have to think about what you heard Think for yourself, , question it and the believe it By doing meditation you learn to focus and also your mind expand so much, you might understand many things around you people you meet etc Then the other thing is every action has a reaction, whether it is good or bad. You start with that as a beginner.

Budhha remains discoverd in my home town vaishali, now museum is under construction, it will be 100 acres in size

In my opinion Christians focus too much on hell sin & punishment that why I covered to Buddhism.

I'm a Nicherin Buddhist, NMRK!

I am budhisat indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳☸️☸️☸️☸️☸️

The core message of Buddhism is to be mindful of your thoughts and feelings because that is how you learn from them. If you are not mindful of your thoughts and feelings, it will be very hard to learn from them.

React on what is Hinduism by cogito

Buddhism is the only teaching that you can see the results in currunt life rather than beliving non seen heaven after death. Some says "heaven is a lazy man's dream"

I know early Buddhism has an explanation of what nirvana is. The early Buddhists believed that nirvana is a different direct experience of the world. While in samsara we see ordinary objects we hate or crave like people, animals, swamps, oceans, and so on, all of these things are only conventions. What they actually are is collections of subatomic events the early Buddhists commonly called dharmas or skandhas. So samsara is a direct experience of conventions while nirvana is an experience of the ultimate truth--which is everything is just skandhas. So meditation brings one to nirvana because meditation gives them the direct experience of the ultimate truth that everything is just subatomic skandhas. An analogy could be while you're in samsara you will crave the hot girl or the fancy car, but in nirvana you cannot feel craving anymore to these things because now you experience them as heaps of skandhas and every object we can ever think of is a heap of skandhas.

I need to also add, as my upbringing is questioning everything in my mind where ever I went to work in my admin pisitions i will start the first week doing as they requested me to do and then try to find out why we are doing it because of that I found ways to do work faster cut short unnecessary steps ir needed add sonething which makes more sense i always investigate everything. Some dont like it, I just listen carefully and then show them my investigation All this was because of my Buddhist mind .

Buddhism is not a religion but a lifestyle leading to moral salvation and spiritual development that anybody can practise without a banner. The fundamentals of Buddhism are never challenged as they are all based on the realities that impinge on us all during our lives. Happy that you share this video with the non-Buddhists around the world. Good luck!

Right Concentration is a somewhat poor translation. What it means is probably better said in English as "Right Meditation." Just as a side note, this step in the Eightfold Path is the most controversial in the modern Theravadan world, as there is a movement called "Dry Insight," which contends that achieving the deepest meditative states, called the jhanas, is unnecessary, but it's pretty clearly said in the Pali Canon, the Theravadan Bible of sorts, that Right Concentration literally IS the jhanas. Out of everything the video you watched said, this is the detail they were the most off about. Right Concentration is not just about focusing on any old thing. It specifically means taking up one of the 40 meditation objects detailed by the Buddha.

Not Indians mostly Sri Lankans from south Asian fyi

Buddhism lacks agape and logos, two things which Christianity has.

Very happy to see that you had a good time learning about Buddhism! I can recommend learning more about it - it's a huge universe full of beautiful teachings. And many of them can be implemented in our daily lives without having to become "a Buddhist". So, it's very universal and can help a lot of people even if we are Christian, Muslim or something else! :) Great video! Hope you have a great day!

Are there sri lankans buddhist🇱🇰☸️🙏

And the story is more deep

I think Cogito's 2nd video on Buddhism is better

There is no god. Do the best you can, dont hurt people on purpose if you can help it. Make the world a little better place when you leave it. Love, laugh, good times, and no harm. Try to be a good contributing member of your society.

Brother and sister, please react to this, a person who learn about religion and finally make decisions to convert to Islam, hear his story, short saying about Buddhism is, its just a nice way to live, they have many deities, pray to their ancestors, but not a God religion.

Buddha chose the middle path. Buddha said blindly believing in God and declining God both is extreme concept. For centuries humans are discussing about it. And they forgot to understand about their own life. Self realization is path to enlightenment. Once you're enlightened you don't need God. You will be God.

🙏🙏🙏

Buddhist focused on one thing the way of life and how to lift up your life.

Buddha The Awakened One.

Every region in the eorld had made Buddhis their way bringing their culture in to it too So people worship and pray in different way. The heart if Buddhism is the same some are Buddhist by birth they have no understanding just folliw rituals without much understanding.

I'm a Theravada Buddhist, and if you wonder what is it about i can say we believe (not blindly believe, we believe with facts ) that there is no sense of self, we don't believe in something called 'athma' or soul (actually we people can't understand it this is something very complex we can only scratch the surface by hearing it from lord Buddha's teachings , if we want to understand it completely, we need to get enlightened by following the way that lord Buddha showed us) and here in our teachings the enlightenment of lord Buddha and the enlightenment of his followers are clearly two different things. the enlightenment of lord Buddha we called it as 'Buddhahood' or 'Buddhathwaya' and the enlightenment of his followers we called it as 'Arahath' or 'Rahath' . but don't misunderstand, cause the two paths leads to the same destination the only difference is the knowledge they have. and this destination called nirvana is hidden in the universe, only a Buddha can show us the way. and if you wonder we believe in gods? yeah we do. cause lord Buddha himself told us about gods and how we can become gods but he also said that's its only a temporarily fix for the suffering or samsara (it is the cycle where we born again and again, going through same ordeal which we called 'life' and die again and again. this is also relevant to god and every being in the universe ). the only way that we can end suffering is nirvana. and the most important fact is that we don't believe in a almighty god who created all things cause the Buddha taught us how the world was created, actually its a natural occurrence and some of the things are aligns with the science findings. and lord Buddha once said the lord Buddha can not be compared to an another being except for another Buddha. lord Buddha is not a god. another important fact is that, the mediation is not a method to calm your mind, it goes way deeper than that there are two categories called 'samatha' and 'vipassana' if you want to know more refer books like 'Abhidharma' and 'Suthra pitakaya' Lord Buddha once said, don't believe it because I said, don't believe it because your family said, don't believe it because your friend said. believe it after considering with your own knowledge. so don't believe everything i said, do your own research and decide yourself whether to believe it or not.

It's really very simple...no religion (Jesus) becomes a religion...Buddah (no religion) becomes a religion...priests/clergy/ holy men etc etc etc, want only one thing... control..... politicians/heads of state/ kings and queens, want only one thing....control. That's it entirely. The answer? Well, all the wise sage's knew, and indeed, said it....go within, God is within. What is God? the very aspect of man, that creates. What is a demon? the very aspect of man, that destroys. This, is my view, entirely. Forgiveness, is everything, everything. 🙏

Buddha is the only prophet who said: " Don't follow me blindly; instead of blind faith, use logic and common sense; be critical of my teachings, analyse it, check its authenticity" Essence of Buddhism is to place kindness, compassion, and humanity above rituals, prayers and rules

☸️🙏

I wouldn't learn a high philosophy like Buddhism with cartoons, unless I'm a 5 year old haha

Namo budhay jai bharat

Buddisium isn't a religion per say we made it into a religion, the enlightened one said do not worship me. Buddisium is a philosophy of life on how humanity can live and take responsibilities on your actions and words because we make our own reality from our thoughts so what we do it's our own fault or correctness. But be better and do a good job without being a bother tp another person, that what i learned from Buddisium.❤

Buddha is great

Buddha and Jesus would be friends

These stories of the Buddha are allegorical hagiographies that are not associated with Dhamma. Unlike Christianity, the mythologies and “stories” are separate from the methodology and the philosophy. Because of the pollution of western religion, people influenced by western religions view everything through the telescope of western religions. The explanation of Dhamma (teaching / existence) in that video was extremely shallow, badly translated. For example, the word “dukkha” does not mean suffering. It refers to ALL the inconveniences of life, even the good things (which are inconvenient because they decay and pass away). The Buddha was not getting his teachings from “someone”. In Buddhism there is no “someone”. Namo Buddhaya.

🇮🇳🇮🇳acient india how powerful🇮🇳

buddhist best religion no god peace relax but glory

buddhism don’t take other life, human, animal and plant except for food( ex. not hunt for fun or too much for eat). Buddha is a human not God so all religion can study and has no problem with any religions.

-Born from a royal familly but choose to be a beggar -Marry beautiful princess and leave her to reach enlightement -Starved himseld to almost death and left because he think its bullshit -Told a hindu brahma who dedicate his life for god that its not necesary to worship them. - Have a chance to be a king but not interested in it Buddha is an underated CHAD

None of this makes sense without some mind judging us and controlling the karma system in order to declare who reaches enlightenment and who gets reincarnated. Furthermore, this mind of God would have to determine who acheived certain levels of enlightenment in order to place them in the correct reincarnated state. The idea that there is some mechanical system somehow making these determinations as part of the creation makes absolutely no sense. Seems like Buddhism is missing a judge, Some great disembodied mind to determine these things.

"mostly practiced by indians" lol

buddha never found the answer to life, death, or human suffering. He basically just says be a good person, which we are supposed to do anyway. He says don't do (x), seek truth and dips. Jesus says "I am The way, The Truth, and The Life" and whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.❤✝️☝

Real buddhism never kill people and animals never hart ether people this life not coming again .... life is not a game

Well i don't believe in no god that we human have know of that god name shape.Becuase if there even a god the god will not even border to come to us so i just believes the one who created the universets and the person who protecting me And i am buddhist because it sore of make sense in one of buddha rules If you don't believe is ok but just prayed to the person who have raised you and fed you in one of buddha sayings

Lol, the video is not a correct understanding of Buddhism, that is not the difference between Mahayana and Theravada.

The religion that believes in God is made for God Buddhism is made for humanity God teaches us how to make happy him. Buddha teaches us how to person should be happy. in ibuddhism first come to humanity after that come religion. believe in god religion are first come religion after that come humanity. Humans have been killed in the name of God, no one has killed that much people in history because people who believe in God do not believe anything else before God

He got many teaching from many master but was never satisfied he thought not over eating was the way till it lead to no results a girls out of compassion feed him the rice his group left him he was alone but never gave up on seeking the truth of existence he sat for a long time under the tree but you did not hear about Mara Now Mara is the devil this more detail story of Buddha has Mara in it it is like Jesus’s fasting for 40 days and nights the devil tried to tempting him but Christ knows he has no authority in the same way Buddha was not swayed by Mara’s trick of woman and other plays after defeating Mara through tranquil abiding his mind reached the enlightened state please take time to learn more that video was not wrong just brief there are many Buddhas not just The Buddha there are living Buddhas in the world today and you to have Buddha nature for it is the core of your being but due to wrong views ignorance you do not see this as such last is a quote from a book called Buddha little handbook that says 1. to know the way and not practice is to be a spoon in soup and not taste the flavor 2. Most of the problems human beings experience they cause for themselves 3. There is no one or nothing that can hurt you more then your own untrained mind 4. Your own self cherishing mind is the root of all suffering hence develop a mind that cherishes others

Postmortem retribution is a lie.

The ethics of Buddhism are also the same with Islam, but would we call Gautama as the best role model as a father? Nope because he abandoned them, also Buddhism is one of the good way to live as a peaceful person, but they lack only one major thing in the creed, no where do they mentioned God as their ultimate destination, this like believing there is an iPhone but reject that there is a Creator for iPhone. Hence they can believe all the good thing the iPhone can provide but forget to thank the Creator of that iPhone. I think Buddhism is like the best path for atheist, they are similar, Buddhism can have guidance from Buddha but reject there's a Creator, likewise an atheist can practice the teaching of Buddha and also neglect that there is a Creator

Buddhism originates with the descendants of the Yamnaya.

Buddhism Is Most Peaceful And Greatest Religion In This Universe ☸ ✨ ❤The best religion in the world
