"no one robs a nude man" that's gold!

[@simpleuser0001]

If the Tibetans are accurate, this could be the most important lesson our lives if we are ready to slip out of this cycle. I'm willing to commit to this new path.

[@william4275]

I agree. On my discovery of this book less than 3 weeks ago, i have been enlightened and amazed. I think this is our life purpose too. Amazing its not promoted. I have listened to most of the book too. I call it an instruction manual on reincarnation.

[@ull893]

​@@william4275 i guess you meant to say instruction manual on, how to AVOID REINCARNATION 🌹🌹🌹.. is that right?

I was locked up for three months and got the Robert Thurman version for 2 bags of coffee, changed my way of thinking, and began to heal my inner trauma

[@DmitryShevkoplyas]

Thank you! This was a good reminder for me about things that I should have remembered since forever.

[@mazyar_]

Excellent and illuminating thank you Pierre I wish you could give a talk comparing Zoroaster and Plato.

[@JJ-wi2uw]

Fascinating stuff.

For you youngsters, that was a chalkboard.

What chalk ??😂

With respect to the union of intellect and consciousness (emptiness and radiance), I came to understand these components as being two aspects of the same entity. Rather like two sides of the same coin. I acknowledge that coins are forged and there were conditions at play before they came to be. I thought of it as a contradiction though, how can something be vast and empty, and simultaneously radiant. I guess that is the mystery.

[@AnonAnon1]

I have read the 2005 translation, which I believe is the first complete translation, although, I admit I could be wrong. The introduction is by the Dalai Lama, translated by Gyurme Dorje and edited by Graham Coleman with Thupten Jinnah. I found interest, compelling and thought provoking.

[@threestars2164]

The treatment of an intermediate state (bardo), reflects elements of Bon beliefs in ancestral spirits and funerary rituals that guide the deceased through the afterlife.

97 or 77 the quality is great lol

[@OUOAT]

If your eye causes you to sin and gash it out, for it is better to enter life without an eye then to life an eternity in torment. Jesus Christ of Nazareth The quality is in your ability to absorb the information before you.

[@diegoapto701]

Someone can put espanic liguage in this video.

[@ozzicossy5552]

So many parallels with hellenic paganism and preparing for the afterlife. Rome’s pax deorum existed to help prepare the people for this.

[@harjotmahal8985]

If the dead don't know they are dead then why would one say to oneself recognize, recognize, recognize in the bardos?

[@vonerick541]

recognition and liberation are simultaneous which will give the dead liberation and get out from the bardos.

[@papadapa1662]

That's why the book 📙 needs to read to the deceased usually besides the corpse. Just like most dreamers don't know that they're dreaming most of the dead do not know that they're dead...

[@ozzicossy5552]

Its like being stuck in a dream. Lucid dreaming something comparable that must be achieved

[@Samantha19658]

Because if you have practiced not believing the illusion in this reality chances are you’re not going to believe the illusion after death… you wake in the dream … similar to lucid dreams

[@harjotmahal8985]

Maybe i want to be reincarnated, I quite like it here lol

[@laluna5548]

lucky bastard

[@Samana358]

Sir, nice video but don't say (Soul) becomes in Buddhism there is (No soul) it's only consciousness in play. Please excuse

[@jant4741]

Catch the beginning about ‘roots’ or original teachings being lost? Soul is not this or that, became -there is no ‘soul’ in many schools. Is consciousness the soul? Does consciousness reside in the body or is the body a mere receiver & processor? Logically if there is no ‘soul’ there can not be ‘reincarnation’. Learning from teachers alone, who do not study primary sources?

[@albundy9597]

Whatever, nobody KNOWS.

what is your commect on these two topics?

hey your comment disappeared.

INITIALLY INTERESTING but......soon Drifts Off into pedantic trivia. Not Well Planned. When an intellectual tries to explain sth he doesn't actually understand. How to Destroy your own lecture.

[@premchopra6521]

tibetan can't be wrong. Our science says that we humans have evolved from monkey but tibetans believed this for centuries before science.
