.... 4 Noble Truth...... ...... Buddhism......

Asuras are below the human plane*-they’re sort of like demi-gods/beings that are constantly quarreling

Good work. But there are a few things I'd like to add. These realms are like a wheel 🛞 and I will start from the bottom sort of, ascending upwards and back to the bottom. 1. Naraka world - at the buttom (hell, frustrated spirit) 2. Preta world moving up (hungry beings with huge appetite but little means to satisfy) 3. Manusa world - moving up the wheel ( human world or state of equilibrium) 4. Deva world - on top of the wheel (demi gods, the opposite conditions to the naraka world) 5. Asura world- going down the wheel (world of anger, personification of storms, thunder, earthquakes 6. Tiryak world - going down the wheel ( animal world). These shouldn't be taken literally. In deep Buddhism it could be seen as different state of mind or a condition if each given soul. 1. NARAKA - When one is very frustrated, depressed, possessed. 2. PRETA -Huge desires with no realistic means of satisfation, I.e., lust, addictions. 3. MANUSA -At peace with oneself and life, content and happy 4. DEVA - Enlightened, deep and profound state, very spiritual. 5. ASURA - Frustrated and always angry 6. TIRYAK - Dumb, not intelligent, can't reason.

To clarify sex among the gods, because it’s fascinating: There are six heavens within the realm of desire. From lowest to highest, this is how the denizens there have sex: 1: The gods of the Heaven of the Four Great Kings have sex like us 2: The gods of the Heaven of the 33 has sex like us but they don’t produce fluids 3: The gods of Yama embrace each other 4: The gods of Tushita hold hands 5: The gods of Those Who Delight in Creations glance and smile at each other 6: The gods of Those Who Delight in the Creations of Others simply make eye contact. This is also where the Devil Mara resides

I discovered Rob’s teachings 5 or so years ago. He became my primary guru because of some of the reasons you articulate. I have yet to discover more expansive spiritual teachings. Thank you for sharing!

Most eloquent. Subbed

"This path is not what it seems. And it's much wider." 27:53 Wonderful meditation and talk. Really appreciate the perspective you're bringing to this idea/topic 🙏

hi I watched the whole video and loved it. Very informative, and I learned something new I just want to say at 3:30 thats a picture of the Buddha and Bodhisattva

Seems like a great community

we love Buddha❤❤❤

Hi Ranga, As a novice meditator, I’m struggling to stay mindful throughout the day. Can you make a video on how to cultivate consistent mindfulness outside of sittings?

Nice video, I just read Rob's book, 'Seeing that frees', fabrication leads to dukkha. Observing anicca, anatta and dukkha in meditation weakens the perception of things having any solidity or essence which reduces the tendency to cling to fabrication/unskillful perceptions.

I love this interview. There is such a common perception of Buddhist monks as living in a cave, cut off from the rest of society. It’s refreshing to hear about just the opposite: Buddhists engaging with the world to make it a better place. Thank you for your efforts and for sharing this wonderful exchange.

“This was tool of emptiness is one of many tools.” ✍🏼 So good. Loved listening 😊.

Which video is this from?? Ps love ur videos keep up the amazing work

Thank you, Ranga, for making this video! :) Tremendously helpful. I will return to it often. 🙏🌟

Thank you!

Beautiful. That tear got me. ❤️ Dear Rob is so missed

Thank you ! This makes much sense

🙏

My dad passed away three weeks ago unexpectedly, Buddhism has been the only thing that’s giving me some sort of peace. I would love to learn more about death and the afterlife. If you could touch base on that.

Thank you for sharing this! Usually monks preach this in my native language but it is helpful to understand in English version.

Can you ask bhante about ajiva ashtamika sila? I think it is based on the noble eightfold path.

Namo Buddhaya. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

No need to believe. Physics already tells us there are multiple realms. So science and ancient Indian religions arrived to the same conclusion.

Thank you so much 🙏❤🙏

Meditation firm’s my mind 🙏Yoga firm’s my body 🧘🏻‍♀️❤

Meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️ is part of my life Sathu Sathu and Sathu 🙏🙏🙏

Dharma is peaceful. Both himself and others. The whole world. Try it. Study. Pack in the right way. I am a monk from Myanmar.

You are doing this as a missionary. There is nothing in the world as noble as the work of making God's teachings reach the hearts of human beings. You keep going.

cool
