I‘m a Buddhist, and god knows how grateful I am EVERYDAY for finding this religion, and applying it to my everyday life. Buddhism really is just a way of life like Aria said. I'd rather say Buddhism is education to life rather than a religion. Thank you Buddha for leaving us the greatest give one can ever receive!
Yup agree , it's not a religion but education and philosophy for all human being , many Buddhist live a life as atheist , Buddhism have completely freedom
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
I love that buzzfeed explores many cultures, that others are not aware of. I absolutely love this video and not just because I’m Thai and Buddhist myself. 😂😁😁😁
Belal DarkneSS I wasn’t trying to patent Buddhism?? I was just saying that I didn’t love this video just because I was Thai and a Buddhist myself, like he is?? As in I’m trying not to make myself seem biased?? I literally said, “I love that buzzfeed explores many cultures, that others are not aware of.”
Most, but the length varies from person to person. Some of my friends have done months, and a few have done less than a week. Its honestly expected that a man will do it before he dies though.
As a Buddhist in a mostly christian country I was very interested in this story. I have thought about spending a year in a place like Sri Lanka or Tibet to unwind spiritualy and find peace within myslef. This made me want to do that even more.
I am a Mexican girl...I really felt relaxed when I went to a Buddhist temple in China. It was beautiful... my dad joked that he was gunna put me into the monastery ( I was 14 at that time). Honestly, I do want to spend time in a monastery before I go to medical school. Just to prepare a lifetime of dedication to medicine and I want to prepare my mindset. Alrighty, let's save money xD
I'm a Buddhist woman now, but as a child everyone was trying to put me into Christianity, which didn't resonate with me at all. It just didn't make sense to me and so I decided to not have a religion for a while. I focused on spirituality for a bit until I learned more about Buddhism whilst living in Thailand. I felt like this was something that was logical and reasonable, so I began believing what the religion believed. I hope that some day I can become a Buddhist nun just for a bit. :)
Following Jesus and Finding Him is the only way to save your life. It is you that have to initiate that encounter with Him. If you seek and call out to Him and let Him show you He is real and pure love since He bought you with a bloody price on the cross cause of God’s wrath on us all (yes you too), you can’t trample on the blood that saved your life from eternal Lakes of fire. Just ask yourself this Question: where will you spend eternity? Life after death? That’s why the gospels (good news) share that because of Jesus being used as the perfect sacrificial lamb, the bloodshed needed to take away God’s wrath on humans, Jesus saved us forever. Imagine being infront of the Judge who is God and the devil who is persecuting you for committing sins and living unholy and not acknowledging God, and You lucky you have a attorney called: Jesus Christ who is there to defend you. So the judge gives you a death sentence since you are guilty of your sins (yes ma’m there is sins in your life since NO one is sinless in the flesh except Jesus) and Jesus steps in and tells God: nope don’t put her to death sentence, put me instead. This is basically it. If you just have an open heart to receive Jesus and get to know HIM and not the religion then trust me you will change this comment you have written ;)
@@Meroesja this is the reason why I never chose Christianity but converted to buddism I have seen so many comments of Christians saying this in RU-vid comments and never seen a buddist say this in the comments
I'm so sorry if you ever felt that we are forcing you, it is NOT our intention at all! We love everyone and if you chose not to believe that is ok! God bless you!
Aria: Tells us about how buddhism is a way of life instead of a religion and explaining his lifestyle People on the internet : WheRe are ThE aiR BeNdeR Tat00s
"once you have the head shaved, the eyebrows shaved, you look like a monk" soo we gotta shave jeffrey star's head i kinda wanna see him become a monk lmao
@@tatsumaki9397 like what, and sorry for being nagy but I'm honestly curious because I'm a christian born and raised into that type of family but I just wonder what is there to question.
I’ve been learning about Buddhism pretty intensely recently for exam prep and this is so refreshing for me. To hear Aria’s personal experience rather than just reading facts off a page, it’s really nice
I’m a Thai person and loved what you were talking about. Buddhism never forces you to follow but it’s kind of like a suggestion on how to go on with your life as happy as possible. That’s how I see it.
I became a Buddhist a year ago and love that it’s being talked about. It is a religion that is not talked about often. I dont understand why people should asocciate you filming videos with cam models qith your religion because they’re people as well, it doesnt make you less religious or less of a good person.
I eat meat I don’t eat red meat just because I feel that it’s not good for my body but it doesn’t have anything to do with being a Buddhist, some eat meat and some don’t but yes we don’t kill or hunt animals
@MSA 212 mindfulness is what is transformational, concentration on the present and not following the fears in your mind is what is transformational not necessarily the religion itself. The mystery and intrigue with religion can only take you so far.
@MSA 212 fascists using cultural identity as a way to scapegoat minorities is a common occurrence. Buddhists don't need to defend themselves for something that is fundamentally not buddhist.
I totally relate to his story. I’ve lived my life for the last 2 years as a full time missionary- and although many things are “given to you”, it’s the sacrifice of leaving behind the things you love for a greater love that hurts the most, but also breathes so much life
I once had a co-worker who was a monk in Tibet, he said he left the monastery temporarily to take care of his mom. While in his 'hiatus' he had sex and realized he could never go back.
Sabat Ismail Oh how sad to loose a Great opportunity ... Lust is great enemy to the Path of Renunciation . However as a layman he can still 1.continue to be virtuous, 2. reflect greatly on the Strong Will of The Buddha and the paramithas fullfilled by the bodhisatwa, 3. and do strong Vipassana Meditation on mindfulness of body or kayagathasati ( especially on loathsomeness as that is the antidote for lust , as wellas other treacherous qualities of one's own body) and strive for success. The Bodhisatwa and Arhants too went through Many failures. The Path to Enlightenment is the same for laymen and bhikkus.. the monks code of conduct helps in reaching the final goal faster
@@deela262 Sex, like any action, can be done with love and consciousness, or through attachment and lust. It is not nobler to live away from society rather than in it.
@@-whackd Renunciation of lay life and becoming a monastic IS Noble but admittedly hard, and needs the backing of enormous past good kamma. However as a layman, living a good family life too one can reach the Noble goal. The buddhist monastic code insists on celibacy.. The order of Sangha is Pure. Anyone who has transgressed loses the entitlement to remain as a member of higher ordained sangha. But everyone can strive to Cultivate the Brahma Viharas- universal goodwill for all living beings ( metta) , universal compassion ( karuna) , joy at the wellbeing of enemies ( mudita) and equanimity towards All ( upekkha). These things make sense only when put in context of the ultimate goal of Nibbana..
Blurryfaced It is rather simple to do so, without becoming a monk yourself. There’s like no major transition like for example baptism, and I’m sure every religion has something fruitful for each of us to learn. Good luck!!
In term of Buddhism, you can follow when ever you want, or give up when ever you feel like to. No big ceremony what so ever like baptism...etc. Do what you want, supper chill
Sand Shadow actually Buddhism do have smth like "baptism" idk what its called in English, but in chinese its called "归依" and "受戒" where the monks give u a "Buddhist name" and you kinda pledge to follow the teachings of the Buddha
I'm so surprised that I found this clip. I used to be an monk's teacher in that monastery you got an ordination for almost 2 years. But now came back to Bangkok. Anumodana for your merit making!! 😇
I just started a binge watch of Aria videos because of his personality. This video enlightened me on why he is so interesting and caring in the BuzzFeed network.
5ufy9n Honestly I don't know. I think it's a two sided thing? What most people don't know is neither side is innocent. I don't support either side though. I just want people to stop killing each other and my home land to be peaceful again. I love Buddhists as much as I love muslims. People killing muslims in the name of Buddha is just wrong because the number one rule of Buddhism is not killing.
Destiel Trash I would definitely agree with you regarding Buddhism's rule about not killing. But the footages and real life accounts of the witnesses regarding what has been happening there are pretty devastating to hear. It's the innocents - Children, Women, Elderly, Regular civilians who are suffering the most and generalizing them to be among the not innocent ones isn't fair either I believe. And the Rohingya are supposedly one of the most persecuted minority and these acts have been committed now for decades already. Thinking about someone getting kicked out of one's own home where one has been born and living his/her whole life there really saddens me a lot. I hope peace truly flourishes in the Buddhist majority nation and they are given equal rights as every one else out there and the refugee crisis comes to an end. Peace
For those western friends we can differentiate buddhism pretty much like Christianity 1.Mahayana School or Big Carrier School is basically Cathlicsm of Buddha encompassing all traditions into buddhist fold 2. Thervada School which literally means Orthodox School 3. Vajrayana /Tibetian Buddhism is like New religious reformation integrating various Hindu (Yoga Tantras and Chantings ) concepts in addition to attend Nirvana as supplements to Arya Attamarga (8 fold Noble Path)
Wasn't it reborn not reincarnation? Cuz reincarnation is when we are born again in the next life as a human but we don't know what will we become next life right? Uhh idk forgive me if i'm wrong
Don't know why but I really have a lot of respect for Buddhism in my heart. Deeply in love with this religion though I'm not a Buddhist. It is not possible not to fall in love with this religion, when the religion teaches "No Violence Only Peace✨, No Hate Only Love."
I'm sorry, I really wanna know how did he grows back his eyebrows ?? Can someone help me? I use Vaseline and aloe Vera gel everyday but I didn't see a huge difference 😭😭
The universe in my temple and love is my religion❤️. Seriously, I'm not Buddhist but I wish every religious person were. The world would be much peaceful
Sooo I'm a buddhist and my temple actually got this 2 week summer monastery programme where you'll experience everything Aria just told you in this video. We call the newbie monks "Samanera". After 2 weeks you can choose to get back to normal life or continue learning to be a real buddhist monk or as we called them "Bikkhu". It's a real long way to go from one point to another, my friend gave up after 5 to 6 years and he was not even close to be a monk yet.
Thank you for your great story. It is great that there are many more people with Thai descent living oversea who share their stories or experiences about Thai culture. It is one of the the ways to spread more information about Thai culture to broader audiences in many countries.
I recognize where you filmed. That’s the Buddhist temple on Roscoe Blvd across the Shell gas station right off the 170. Coldwater Canyon intersection. That’s the temple I used to go to.
I love how BuzzFeed gets into different cultures. My mother is from Thailand and she watched this video and thought it was very nice nice that they learn about different countries
