Discovering Buddhism Module 3 - Presenting the Path 

There are many paths to happiness and enlightenment. :D I guess you just found yours!

+TheLivingHeiromartyr I totally agree with you. This is just beautiful, I am glad that this great religion has been mine ever since my soul was made. Even though many people Buddha is just rubbish, I think it's absolutely beautiful. And also just to say. There was only 1 religion but everyone wanted to stand out from the rest. So this is what happened. Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and other religions fight with each other just to stand out, to make their religion the BEST religion in the world. But there is no BEST in the world. God made us all equal.

+Ash Farah i agree. unlike muslim and especially christianity, buddahism does not lay claim to be the only path.

maxtheknife bingo because all religion is created by the mighty God himself and he passed the religions that he create to his all prophets to spread it for human being to respect each other but there are some evil people trying to act as superior than god himself and all his prophets and that's why God himself and all his prophets is very angry on human beings.

I agree but it is not a religion.Buddha was not a god.He was a man like all of us

+Viktor Smith I think i agree with you it goes straight to the purpose of Buddhism without mountains of study .

Very knowledgeable of basic of Buddhism! Thanks again! 💐👏🙏🏼🌷🌽✌🏼🥰🥬

The truth is that everyone usually gets what he or deserves so praying is a waste of time, but faith is not........falundafa

Finally positiveness on You Tube comments! :D

Yes it's a channel run by a Tibetan Buddhist(Mahayana) organization. I am sure you will find many Theravada Buddhist videos on RU-vid.

A zen Buddhist can't teach Zen Buddhism

Falun Dafa means The Great Way.

Could you please explain this in more detail?

Falun Dafa is the only school that can answer all questions.

Great series !

I am eclectic in my personal life philosophy like that as well. :D Nice to meet you.

No, worshipping is not what the real God wants, He would like us to find our Way back home to Heaven.....................falundafa

This lady speaks too fast

Truthfulness-compassion-tolerance....................Falun Dafa

The greatest teacher today is Master Li Hongzhi..........Falun Dafa

Today, only one Buddhist practice can really show the Way to spiritual enlightenment............Falun Dafa

And ungratefully forgotten his teachings right. Buddha is known to world, because of his teachings not because he was born in nepal. The term nepal was invented like few hundred years ago and do you know 2500 years before nepal never existed. I myself is Nepali but it disgust me just because of tourism and businesses purpose you people keep penetrate your idea of him being born in nepal everywhere, anywhere where there is post related Buddhism and Buddha.

But the King of the Buddhas has given us this......................Falun Dafa

Oh and the fragments of Agamas translated into Tibetan, but unfortunately a full copy was never made.

Falun Gong is the Way

Faith is one thing but to attain spiritual enlightenment, a great teacher is needed........Falun Dafa

Falun Gong is the Way

jfauerby yes, i understand what u are saying. all who practise dharma also knows what hinayana means, why is it different from mahayana. its original intent was not to belittle those who practise the small vehicle, it is just the label used long time back. therevada is the pali version of the hinayana, also know as the elders. still, from your comments, i think u must have been a high practitioner well schooled in the three higher training. it is good if one day u can do something to improve buddhism by removing those wrong terms or word that u think is unsuitable. i look forward to the day when u benefit sentient beings on those moral high grounds u advocate.

But Falun Dafa is The Great Way

Yeah, I bet her meditations sound like that too!

She talks fast, but her words are true.

She scares me. 🥺 😂

I don’t think she speak particularly fast but I’m Australian. She certainly commands your attention though.

Try not to to judge. Hear the words. Extract the meaning.

Venerables are not more valuable than other people. They just have more experience with the teachings and are meant to spread the word.

jfauerby HH Dalai Lama says- in sutrayana practices, rely on the teaching not the teacher, rely on the meaning and not the words, rely on the transformation effects of the teaching not just intellect understanding, rely on wisdom mind's realisation ..etc. in short, he said u dont need a Guru while undergoing sutrayana path. however, it is true that in the Tantrayana, the Guru devotion is essential, .. but here is not the correct place to talk. its better that u check up from an authentic source such as HH Dalai Lama's web, or his books. sori for poor input.

elaborate, im not seeing the issue

SeigoNkan With all respect, all I am trying to say is that Prince Siddhartha was born in Lumbini which is Nepal.

Anish Hamal are you a buddhist?

Anish Hamal Lumbini was originally part of the ancient Indian subcontinent, it is currently part of Nepal.

MrKruchinski No. I do not believe in adding im/ist/ian or any I and As in what I believe. Thank you.

Some people use to the word Hinayana. It's not necessarily derogatory, it all depends on the content. It's just there are different wheels. I prefer using Theravada anyways.

The highest school of Buddhism is Falun Gong.

My understanding, is no they are not Buddha. Buddha is thee enlightened one. 🕉

perhaps they are buddhas. unlikely

My understanding is that Buddhist monks and nuns will never claim to be enlightened, even if they are. Many of them are more enlightened than me, and so they can guide and teach me even if they are not yet fully enlightened.

moviegirl3073 sister good for you would love peace and no war .thank you

no they are not enlightened yet but they are on the way to seek enlightenment if they try hard and some of them have achieved very high path towards enlightenment and it's depends on us how efforts we made if we are not enlightened in this life we will get enlightenment in future next life if we truly do hard work in spritual path.like mela Ralpha(the great yogi of Tibet) as he get enlightened in one life..try to see his life story on net and we an ordinary person and all living beings hv a buddha nature. means we hv also potential to get enlightenment.. and buddha is fully awaken one..good luck

+Amanda S. Tell me about it, my therapist told me this week she remembers being born...uh oh!

+Amanda S. I interpreted that as Buddha having a vision. Not meant to be taken literally. I could be wrong.

me too. I do shikantaza. visualization is too entertaining . t

relax, its a free world. HH Dalai Lama advise, take what u feel is useful, use it. Whatever u dont feel comfortable or have doubt, its ok, just discard, he say. just one more thing i think u should know, its that nobody will poselytise u to the buddhist path, HH Dalai Lama always say, buddhism is not for everyone. so, u decide. pse enjoy.

Amanda S. Unlike Islam, Christianity, we understand them to be parables. Since Buddhism doesn't believe or doesn't require a creator, it would be rather fantastical that we would take the Buddhas life story literally. all of the dhammapada are parables.

BungedUp76 do you know Buddhism is 2500 years old path! So if I reverse the question back to you what would you say? Yes Buddhist uses term such as monk and nun out of choice in English speakers platform. Do you think it has the same connotation and background just because the term is same?

your question is interesting but rather silly in some way. The Buddha was just born into the royal family to be a prince for some while; I wouldn't call that he was reincarnated into this family. Before his birth to this human world he was already a buddha, perfect in every way. the reason he came to this world via freshly birth like everyone else does is to unlearn and relearn. so therefore he applies himself to a test. when he passed his test by means of attaining enlightenment and became the buddha he used to be once again. I can't explain to you everything in words. you have to get enlightened a little yourself in order to understand what I am saying. For example if you watch a good movie you like so much that you would want to watch times again. each time you re-watch it do you ever question yourself why when you already watched it before and already knew all about it. am I making sense. if not, it means that you are not seriously interested in what I am trying to explain. I can only hope the buddha nature within yourself awaken and help you so.

For answers to the great mysteries of creation..........falundafa

mindaza0 if you believe in time dimension, then you cannot inevitably reject yesterday, today and tomorrow. As long as you have this life of today, you must assert it’s the reincarnation of yesterday. Reincarnation doesn’t mean something else, as long as you are subject of time, then you’re subject of changes. It is simple.

Buddha's teachings matters more than his birth place.If Buddhas was alive he would have told you the same thing.Embrace the teachings.Claiming something is always unlike Buddhism.Liberate yourself so you can let go off your ego.

They didn’t call it India or Nepal back in those days

Here are a few "goals" of Buddhism: develop Empathy and Compassion for others, Respect for both Living and Nonliving things(if a person can Respect an inanimate object, that person can Respect anything), develop unconditional Love, attain Enlightenment and become Buddha. I think we, All of us have a great deal of work to do!

When some Buddhist scriptures talk of "no path" and so on, they are referring to the teachings of emptiness. This means that all things are empty of inherent existence on their own right, and are only dependently arisen. It does NOT mean, however, that they are totally nonexistent in a nihilistic way.

what?

beakf1 That was a ridiculous comment

Isn't buddhism an atheistic religoun?
