The Venerable Yifa - What Are the Ultimate Questions of All Reality? 

Agreed

No it's not. It says the evil is there because that's how we understand the nature. It does not even believe in god therefore it believes on eternal cycle, it believes on karma which is basically hierarchy of work, R1,R2 etc, there is no good or bad. It does not answer many things

Honestly this is a good take. She missed the entire message of the Buddha, which was letting go of reactivity. The Buddha SPECIFICALLY said that he cannot answer the kinds of questions being discussed here. This woman needs to go back and read some real suttas. The later Mahayana stuff is way off point.

hi jorg , spot on ! more diatribe , its always cause and effect, life is cruel ! eat or be eaten , kill or be killed . meaning is what you get out of it ,there is no point to life , just DNA hijacking us to replicate .

She literally just explained her answer. Doesn't have to be everyone's answer. Not sure what confused you there.

It's pretty close

Look into Abraham Hicks teaching you may find the answer.

@@sedenshop Looking into Three little pigs you may find the answer as well...

The ultimate question is. How long does our species have left ?

@@misterhill5598 I have been offering to many people to try to depict eternity to me. I noticed that every attempt of that kind failed right away, because time and timelessness are totally incompatible notions since timelessness transcends our cognition. To be more precise : timelessness is totally unimaginable to us. We know that nothing can come out of nothing (hence : God exists since noncontingent Being (God) is necessary, that is to say : God is Being which can not not to exist), however, as many philosophers admitted : God's necessary existence is the only (although certain) fact/knowledge we are capable of figuring out with regards to this philosophical problem ((in relation to God), that is to say : in relation to His true nature). So we know that timelessness (God) must exist (since necessary existence is the very definition of God), but we have no idea how it works (what is the true nature of God/Timelessness). No idea, whatsoever!!! And that very absence of any idea with respect to God's true nature leads us to the problem of evil and to the problem of God's hiddenness which is in fact only one particular aspect of insurmountable problem of evil...Why would good God want/need to be so well hidden from us, persistently refusing to answer any important (existential) question? It doesn't make any sense, and He knows it, and we know that he knows that we know that he knows that. So, he is obviously mocking us, and he knows that we know that he knows that we know that he is mocking us because he is malevolent being. So, he actually wants us not to believe in Him (in his goodness), even though we are perfectly aware that He exists. And he knows that in this way he is torturing us on this earth. But that is not the end of the story. He promised to us even worse torturing in Hell. OMG.

What do you mean by you never had it in the first place?

Anything that doesn’t fall in line with the scientific method is part of the mysterious. The mysterious may be true but impossible to prove. So calling one shallow and one somehow better. I like hearing about the Buddhist perspective but why call western shallow? It’s equally not provable. Both are interesting to me

@@michaelperry9580 Are you not familiar with global religions? I will however answer your question. First, I'm sure you know this is a social media site and people express opinions. Now, Buddhism teaches that you are in charge of your life and provides mental tools to steer your course. It teaches life is now. Today. In this moment. Buddhists have been brain scan tested during meditation. Their process is said to provide as good or better results than a therapist. Western, and by that I mean Christian, teaches that a creator deity is in charge, one you cannot see and will not reply to you. And that the significant part of your life begins after you die. Buddhism puts you in charge. Christianity say your life is from the will of a creator, (A creator they say turned to them and left the sinful Jews) They both are interesting. I never said they weren't. They are both religions. But that's like saying a banana and processed sugar are both food.

It's called TEASING, I'm afraid coordinates parameters were given, we can not break that circle where we cooped in.. Yet we've the capacity anologize what human nature like? And always ask ourselves! Could i done better while being here, I'm afraid this principle doesn't apply the creator if there's only one unit. Which is a paradox

Alex grey say no more..

I agree Stephan. We have incarnated into this 3D world of contrast. Let’s spend most of our time experiencing, learning and evolving. Let’s find joy in a world that has much darkness. Even though I believe firmly I am a part of the eternal Creator after my spiritual awakening, I still embrace life and try to make a positive difference in this dimension of duality.

Very simple humanity receiving the right information. The world that we're living in it won't be easy , Education ,big farmma, religions main stream media and so on . The Biggest conspiracy against humanity is not making people know who they are ( natural of reality) we are the infinite beings have this finite experience.

Guess, you just came back from the next life.

Right. As if Buddhism is the answer

It is the expected approach of her belief system

Buddha rejected all these questions after enlightenment, before that he had participated in all such debates.

@@itsalljustimages as usual this is no answer, commonly noted with popular gurus and people of similar persuasion

@@saliksayyar9793 of course this is no answer. You are absolutely right. Buddha's whole point was to liberate from suffering here and now. And these questions didn't help with that. That's why he rejected the debates. Following lines are my own viewpoint:- What if someone told you the meaning of life? If you start following that, you'd become like a slave! Not only these questions are meaningless, their answers are as well.

She means this universe is like a gigantic net. Beings and world are born by conditions, not by a single creator God. So what she means is we are the creator of this universe unknowingly. Conditions are ignorance, craving, logging, etc. One of the Buddha sutras, said time and space are reflections of our primordial awareness. If beings knew this truly he she will be liberated if beings don't recognize this he she will be fall in into the matrix.

In Buddhism, you must think for yourself. Bless you

I think she found herself in an unconfortable situation where she is asked questions she has no idea how to respond, but she is a "venerable" person, so she must fit the expectations.

@@danielpaulson8838 so why are you telling others how to think.

She answered from what she knew from sutras Whats writtin in sutras about nature of reality comes from vedas (ancient hindu scriptures). Vedas means knowldege in sanskrit Vedas were called Somavedas Soma = mushroom Vedas = knowledge So its knowledge derived from psilocybin mushrooms consumed in ancient India by asetic nomadic sages

@@hatebreeder999 One day I hope to acquire some mushroom knowledge

Questions that science may not be able to answer. Why is important to us primate humans. Science doesn’t answer why usually. Why are we here? Why the cosmos? The why why

Hey, the twelve year old boy finally showed up.

Because words cannot describe ultimate reality.words are expressions of thoughts.have you experience no thoughts,just bare awareness.if you havent,you wont know it.its indecribable.just bare awareness without thoughts,feelings and sensations.describe that.😄😄😄

He looks confused because she's talking utter shite.
