Dhamma: *Fundamental truth about human existence, and all existence - reality *Fundamental principle of truth and goodness *Nature of reality and goodness are merged And Buddhist "logics" connect reality with ethics. Thank you Teacher for this inspiring lesson.

Thank you for providing your teachings online through KZbin. I have been reading your translation of the Pali Canon and have found it extremely valuable and useful as a reference. So, I am very happy to have come across your teachings to learn more beyond the text. Thanks again, Andrew

[@vishnuvarthan1751]

Huge respect from india guruji🙏

[@patrickcahill4396]

For the purpose of clarification and identification it may be better to title the videos in a more descriptive way as opposed to numerically. Bhante's teachings should be made available to a large an audience as possible for the good of all. 🙏

[@patrickcahill4396]

@Loris Batacchi initially the videos didn't have a title, only a sequence of numbers. Therefore there was no knowing what they were about. The titles were subsequently edited to include descriptions after my comment 🙏

(Stock Passage of Appreciation) "Excellent, Master Gotama! Excellent, Master Gotama! Master Gotama has made the Dhamma clear in many ways, as though he were turning upright what had been overthrown, revealing what was hidden, showing the way to one who has lost, or holding up a lamp in the darkness so those with good eyesight can see forms", as in many suttas including A Certain Brahmin sutta (AN 3, 53).

[@ruwanweerakkody5411]

Greed, hatred, and delusion are rough translations of the original terms rāga, dōsa, and mōha. Those terms are more encompassing. Rāga means liking, preferences, greed, desires, and the like. Dōsa means disliking, aversion, hatred, anger etc. Mōha is the bewilderment caused by rāga and dōsa.

Buddha was born in nepal not india and how can there be such a mistake ?

[@greenanon4984]

He said "lived and taught." Which is true.

[@timothycorrey2154]

Yes born in Nepal

[@ruwanweerakkody5411]

I disagree on the point about realising the Truth over multiple lifetimes. Nibbāna can be attained in this life itself. .

[@abdulkarim-sw4eb]

My brother and sister in humanity Please give me few minutes to explain our belief Jesus and Mary in Islam We muslims with the Grace of GOD have a balanced view regarding Jesus and Mary peace be upon them both. Jews speak ill of him and his mother and christians say he is GOD or the son of GOD or GOD him self or one in 3, We say ,He was the messiah and the messenger of GOD just like the other messengers, Abraham,Moses,Noah ,David and rest of them .They all came with the same message,worship One GOD ,even though the rules and regulations changed but basic message never changed ,Adam being the first prophet and the father of humanity(no evolution in Islam) and Prophet Muhammad being the last Prophet ,Pease be upon them all.(Adam was bowed down to by the Angels,(who are created from light) As respect for him not as worship ,all of the Angels compiled to this order of Allah except iblees ,(devil)who said to Allah,,you created me from fire and created Him(Adam) from clay( iblees was a jinn not a fallen angel ,the jinn race were created from smoke less fire and were on earth before us and are still present , They are a creation of free will like us .hidden from human eyes and are able to transform in to humans and animals and also able to fly ,Allah will judge them just like us and their destination will be either paradise or hell fire( both being physical ,after resurrection, ) ALLAH .the jews and Christians in middle east have been calling GOD ,Allah for centuries (which is His original Name) ,even the present day bible in arabic says Allah as GOD' Allah has no likeness to his creation,His names and attributes are all perfect , He is above his creation,above His throne,In a manner which befits him (The Throne is bigger than the universe and more) Allah is alone , it is said in the bible ,,listen oh Israel the Lord is our GOD The Lord is alone .In the Quran Allah says ,,Say He is Allah the ONE, Allah the eternal,He does not beget and He is not begotten and there is no one like Him . Quran chapter 112 The Prophets and Messengers before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him,were send to a particular community of people ,Moses to his people,Noah to his people and Jesus to the children of Israel Jesus said “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” but the last Prophet and Messenger Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him ) Allah send him to all of the mankind and jinn until day of judgment Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all .Quran chapter 7.158. Prophet Muhammad is also Prophesied in the bible ,, Well then, who are you?" they asked. "Are you Elijah?" "No," he replied. "Are you the Prophet we are expecting?" "No." Join 1,21 According to this the Jews were waiting for a Prophet who is not John the Baptist peace be upon him and John the Baptist is also confirming that there is a another Prophet which is not The Messiah , In Isaiah 29-12 And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.” This Prophecy is for no other than Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. It has been narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari 3-The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read." The Prophet added, "Then the angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.'" ... Quran is the only word of GOD preserved in its original form,In Arabic, it has dozens of miracles ,including scientific and historical ,like the big bang , expansion of the universe, every living thing is created from water ,embryology in details ,black holes ,mountains as pegs ,different types of clouds ,water circle, Queen bee ,genders in plants ,Iron not from earth rather send down, ants speaking to each other , the preservation of the body of pharaoh as sign from Allah for the oppressors and much much more , christians on the other hand can not prove the authenticity of the 4 gospels ,which were written 70-90 years after jesus ,mark and Luke never met Jesus , the title according to mathew was added in the second century and the gospel of John was written last , 70 years after Jesus , Point to notied that there was sect of christian in first century called Ebionites ,who believed Jesus to be a Messager of Allah which the Muslims belief today. Don't forget in the council of Nicaea 325 years after Jesus,in this council,the emperor and bishops rejected all those Gospels which mentioned That Jesus was the Messenger and the Messiah. NOT the Son of GOD. Even the authors of the revised standard version bible comprising of 50 scholars has declared that the word BEGOTTEN and the trinity in john as fabrication and throw it out. One is ordered in Islam to worship Allah alone, directly seeking His help and forgiveness, with out any intermediates between him and Allah. All sins will be forgiven by Allah (GOD )with the exception of The sin of association ,making partners with Allah ,e.g. saying Jesus is GOD or son of GOD ,in this case eternity in hell fire for the one who makes partners with Allah. As for Mary she is considers the woman of all times so much so that there is a whole chapter in the Quran in her name called muryam (Mary) Allah says in Quran And [mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds, 3,42 (And mention] when the angels said, Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah ].in 3:46ّ He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous. in 3,47 She said, "My provider how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is Allah ; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is. Allah says Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.3.59 Jesus Not crucified Allah says And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.4,157 Jesus will declare his innocence in front of Allah (GOD) on the day of judgment Al-Ma'idah 5:116 And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. Al-Ma'idah 5:118 ,we muslims also believe in the second coming of Jesus peace be upon him Jesus will return and kill the false messiah (dajal) and rule on earth as a just ruler and command the human beings to worship ALLAH alone ,just like what He did when He was on earth for the first time ,,(Jesus said) indeed Allah is my provider and yours so worship him 3.51 I pray all of you out there ,who seek nearness to Allah (GOD), that He guides you to Islam and showers his mercy on you, Please email me for a free pda copy of my book Islam in Brief [e-mail] May ALLAH guide you all Ameen
