I am a Buddhist, from birth and people always asked me, is it a religion? I told them now, it is not and they cannot comprehend it all. There is Catholic, Muslim and etcc and there is Buddhism which is none religion at all. Buddhism is so beautiful and it give you a different perspective of the world around you. It also teaches you with so many positive things.
Let it be known to all: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins! I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." 1 John 2:2 KJV 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Acts 13:26-33 KJV 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.* 27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.* 28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.* 30 *But God raised him from the dead:* 31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,* 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 1 Peter 3:22 KJV 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. John 14:6 KJV 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Mark 16:16 KJV 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 8:24 KJV 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
@@Call_Upon_YAH Christianity has many paths, usually every single way for people to bellive in God (Orthodox, Gree-cat, Rom-cat, Judaist etc) tends to call themselves "the only right one" and only their way is the best and the only accapted one and other are heretics, just because they don't belive like you do. It's said God / Father (if They exists) gave us a free will, so I think wheter He exists or not, if we just are good to other beings and don't kill if not necessary and againts "the law of nature" like eating meat just to survive, not torturing others , not gossiping, accusing without objective proof, care , calling people names and so on, we will eventually end up in a good place, whater it is Heaven or achiving Nibb/rvana
@@Call_Upon_YAH Your god let's all sentient beings suffer, let's them feel pain, die and breed to continue this vicious cycle. Is he not all mighty, is he not all knowing or is he not all loving. He can't be all and let this world burn

Thanks for the information I've always loved the teachings buddasim and its followers are so lovely ❤ I've recently moved to Asia and I've started practicing buddasim
@allgoodnamesaregone Free yourself from expectation. This universe is determined- everything that has happened and will happen is already set in stone. You have no real control over anything, we are just observers to this beautiful world.
I was born muslim in a country called morocco i left islam years ago now im finding my way to buddhism it’s the most beautiful religion i’ve ever seen thank you for educating me
I'm zen buddhist now, I was a christian, I was missing something deep in my soul, there was a void, that I couldn't fill in, my soul wasn't in peace, when I embraced buddhism, started to follow teachings of Buddha and started to meditate, I started to feel peace, in my mind, body and soul.
Im new to Buddhism i see as way of life. Im Filipino American and interested in Buddhism. To practice Buddhism, I would like to practice it my way which is meditating by being silent than breathing, doing Tai chi, practice mindfulness, and fast which I am also doing it for my diabetes and mental health. Wish me luck. 😊
Ive struggled with depression and addiction for quite a while and Buddhism is one of the only things that have ever brought me clarity and peace in life.
I've been listening to a lot of Buddhist and stoic philosophies lately and recently ordered the Dhammapada and I plan on looking more into it, because many of these teachings I find helpful and resonate with me a lot. Thank you for this channel and the things you have to say!

Buddhism and Stoicism work very well together, especially on strategies for dealing with suffering. Stoicism is similar to Buddhism but does away with the mystical elements such as reincarnation and karma. However it is a bit sparse on strategies for compassion and universal love, hence I like both approaches. The non-deitic aspects of Daoism are also worth exploring for developing understanding the deep rooted workings of nature and existence, and working with it rather than against it.
@@user666fffaammliIslam makes people live in a world of Fantasy which in Buddhism considers the wrong view. There were muslim (Sufi) saints who had a glimpse of the true nature of the mind but they were persecuted in the name of blasphemy. Muslim has to live within the Qur'an and it is stagnant while Buddhism is to explore wide and far yet the knowledge or wisdom remains universal.
This is why I am attracted to Buddhism, the freedom, independence. Every soul has a different path and it is upon me to figure out my own path which leads to my better self. However, what is a little bit confusing for me is the concept of soul and "self" in Buddhism. Could you please explain the harder philosophical concepts of Buddhism, such as emptiness and soul?
Buddhism is the way of generosity in every sense. Charity is when you give to the needy, generosity is when you give to everyone. Religions prescribe ways to live , Buddhism teaches you to find your own way , yourself.
Think you I am a Christian and living in. Thailand I can't understand too much Buddhism here I ask people why too much and ask my wife too she go temple every week .for me why too much after your videos you make it very clear on this going back comment to her about Buddhism she was very shocked I now more from her keep it good work up and god be with you
Buddhism is such a flexible practice u can honestly use it as u want . It's a way of life that u can use. Some use it more as a religion and others as more of a philosophy or way of life . This practice I uze for heath reasons, mental health (I've taken therapy and many of the things I've been taught Buddhism has taught me for free ), stress management (meditation, letting things go, learning to be present ECT), just been that guide in my life whrre I feel more happy and at peace. Buddhism has giving me peace and happiness and also teaches dicipline . Combing this with other practices has been vary bennifitial for me
Everything that I have learned from you so far is in total line with what I am doing on a daily basis. Thank you for explaining this. Sending you an abundance of gratitude and positivity 😊
I discovered your channel about a month ago, and I am really enjoying the content. I literally just looked up "Is Buddhism a religion" the other day because it didn't seem that way to me at all and was more about a way of approaching life. I LOVE it! I'm so glad I found your channel and I look forward to learning and practicing Buddhism more!
Thank you so much. Your videos have been a gateway and accelerated me on my journey. If i cannot have a friend like you. I will be a friend to someone. Thank you again. I love you.
Dear Venerable sir, I'm so much impressed how a lot of people receive merit from you, and your merit is tremendous! I'm really grateful for your teaching. Sadu Sadu Sadu✨🙏✨
Good evening Bhante, thank you kindly for explaining on Buddhism. 14 years ago I was at the library and accidentally I saw a video that a nice elderly man was talking.it was the Dalai lama, I had heard of him encyclopedically but had never heard him on teaching. And a few days later I searched for that nice elder man again, and then looked for books and start walking an unknown path for me. This is how I got to know Buddhism, a way of life and thinking that has tremendously helped me in my life since then. Now I still learn through your teachings and of Buddhist brothers. At one point I made a mistake that I regret but with effort I got through it. My origins are from two Cristian parents, one catholic and the other orthodox. I believe in the identity of good whatever it's origin. Thank you for sharing wisdom, knowledge and kindness. Many merits and blessings. Namo buddhaya 😊🌈🕯️
Sure, buddhist meditation teaches you breathing in and out meditation. Who in this world can avoid respiration every second? It’s for everyone, isn’t it?
I'm from Nepal 🇳🇵.I'm also belong to lord buddha Clan. But Nepal has not better environment for Buddhism 😢Because Brahman community destroyed Buddhism and turned into Hindu temple. They are controlling whole Nation and India has same problem 😢😢😢
Bro wtf.Buddhists in nepal are living freely and talking converting hindu temple . I have saw many temples in nepal which have Buddhist stupa. And also Lord Buddha is known as 9th avatar of Lord Vishnu . Don't spread hate
Every night before i go to bed i watch and listen to one of your videos. Love them all. Calmness is the one thing right now that i have developed. And bad things do happen to good people. We have to accept..go through..and believe that it will pass...Thank You ..Namo Buddhaya 🙏
Lovely. I understand. Thankyou for your teachings and your good vibes. I heard the Dali Lama say that dancing is not allowed in Buddhism. Well, I have loved dance my whole life. I cannot imagine not dancing in this world but maybe for monks and such, it may be against practicing the moral teachings because it is all about the body inspiration and rhythm which may be in the "lust"/morality category.
Buddhist has a culture of depate and questioning..you can not understand buddhist without questioning and proper teachers .that's why buddhist take refuse in buddha ,darma and sanga.most important.❤

I was born and raised Catholic, became an atheist at 15 and didn't consider myself to have a religious bone in my body since. I always had an interest in Buddhist philosophy, though, and wondered if I should become a Buddhist. I love how this video unveiled what I should have realised a lot sooner: I don't become a Buddhist, I only need to learn to practise Buddhism. Thank you.
Namo Buddhaya! Venerable Sir, in India people actually convert to Buddha Dhamma by taking Tisarana, Pancasila, and 22 vows (these vows were made by Dr. Ambedkar). This is known to be a "Dhamma Deeksha" for laity, different from the "Upasampada" of the Bhikkhu Sangha. I just wanted to share this with you, that conversion from another religion to Buddhism exists as far as India is concerned.
Coming back to this information automatically brings me to tears. There is something in me that knows what he is saying has truth, I can't pinpoint it. The way it's explained, the way I perceive it, the way he talks as if it's from his heart just moves my psyche in a similar fashion to how my only DMT trip opened my consciousness. It feels as if the universe/supreme ultimate/god comes forth from inside and puts me in peace like I've always had access to. This practice seems like the most valuable thing I can do with my time here on this earth!

Thank you again. I am very scared of thunderstorms. If you could ever pass on how you remain so calm and unfazed by that going on in the background I would very much appreciate it. I am serious by the way. Terrified. ❤
A thunderstorm is a thunderstorm is a thunderstorm. It has nothing to do with you. It comes and goes, no matter of you being afraid of it or looking a YT-clip in the meantime. Being scared will do nothing to the thunderstorm. The only one whose life is influenced by your anxiety is you. Let go of it.
YES SIR thank you very much for your beautiful lovely blessings message words super messages GOD bless you and your family and everyone in the world thank you very much SIR 🌻🌻🥰🌻🌻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm a Hindu, but I came to know that my ancestors were Buddhists who were forcefully converted to Hinduism under the disguise of brahminism some 2150 years ago... our family history says that we were subjected to cruelty and seclusion even after adopting Hinduism by the brahminic people... hence I want to revive my family lineage and embrace Buddhism...omm namo Bodhaya
My dad got into Buddhism after being in the army in the 60’s. I had turn 7 yrs old on May 4 and He had past away on Mother’s Day. My Uncle Bob had is belongings and returned his things to the Buddhist.
