Buddha In Suburbia (Buddhism Documentary)

Lelung Rinpoche is one of Tibetan Buddhism’s three principal reincarnations. For the past seven years, he has been living in a garden shed in North London where he runs his teaching centre.
He now embarks upon a mission to find previous Lelung’s teachings and those who hold the key to unlocking their secrets. His fascinating odyssey takes him all the way to India, Mongolia and China as he returns to the lost teachings of his faith and to his homeland. On his journey, Rinpoche meets some of Tibetan Buddhism’s most senior teachers, including the Tibetan Prime Minister in exile.
This documentary follows Lelung Rinpoche as he takes on the most daunting of tasks: to recover lost spiritual teachings before they disappear for eternity, whilst taking steps toward his own path of enlightenment.

Westerners are the smartest people I know, combine that with the wisdom of compassion and awakening is certain. Very humble of you 🙏🏼

[@fretnesbutke3233]

The Buddha taught,"Love every sentient being as your child,your only child". Sentient beings are innumerable - I vow to liberate them..oh,our precious Dharma! I have been wondering lately if I've already taken the Bodhisattva Vow long ago,and am now taking it again! Emaho! 🙏

[@sra525]

I like three religions, Buddhism, Sikh and Hinduism. for his teachings and a very important point which He would emphasis to his senior students - to achieve Nirvana or enlightenment adopt the method which was most suitable to them. the founder of Sikhism, a monotheistic religion which combined both Islam and Hindu values. He gave equal status to all human beings and also gave women equal status and that all can have direct access to God with no need of rituals or priests. has often been misunderstood as a polytheistic religion with an awful caste system attached. The Hindu scriptures mentions four class of people and people can choose any class according to their ability. Later another text called Manu Smriti emerged which abstained from people changing the jobs or class to which they belonged. Thus people doing intelligent jobs or court jobs, kings and kings servants became masters of lower level workers. And Hinduism believes in All in God. All is a part of God. Animate, Inanimate, the living, the dead, So much so the Sun the other planets the bacteria. All forms in God and returns in God. Panentheism is different from Theism. In Hinduism God is a guide to reach the ultimate goal of life . In short God is the CREATOR, who is limitless, formless who cannot be fathomed or seen by ordinary eyes....

No you don't lol.

[@viciousvendetta5706]

Buddhism, the spiritual teachings for human beings that making SENSE regarding this life is about sufferings, the law of Karma, cycle of re-birth and re-living to reap your negative or positive karma by holding ALL Souls accountable for their own conscious choices and actions in their life. Making MORE SENSE than if the evil doers and killers confessed their sins and start doing God's work and when they dies their evil pasts and the many peoples they'd killed are ALL BE FORGIVEN? NOT HOLD ACCOUNTABLE? So the souls of the peoples killed by them are ALL HAPPY and REJOICED that their killers found GODS? And the repented evil doers or killers' souls go to HEAVENS to be with GODS along with peoples who had sacrifice their whole life by doing good deeds and serving the GODS too? LOL sorry but that DON"T SOUND OR SEEM RIGHT TO ME AT ALL even when I base this logic with just a human beings COMMON SENSES. As Buddha said: death is certain, but how or when we will die is uncertain. If you want to know your past life... ...look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life... ...look at your present actions. - Padmasambhava 8th century CE.

[@ObakuZenCenter]

Please learn something about Buddhism. This was embarrassingly inaccurate.

[@pipfox7834]

a good documentary, thanks for uploading. Please do consider removing the disco beat music from the intro - very jarring and out of place sound (even though it is not loud, it is out of place.

[@kmoney5647]

Second commenter. Whoooo!

[@skingk2632]

This video was posted mid 2018, almost 4 years ago. So was Lelung able to recover those teachings?

[@Yesica1993]

There's no reincarnation. Hebrews 9:27-28 "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him."

[@kkg8785]

Thank you very much for the video....

[@michael-ig7hg]

high lama you dont deserve respect, you believe you're a bodhisattva? Wow! you're pretending to be someone you're not you cannot just do whatever because you've been named! come on now!

a very blessed man,lama,,for tibet an us kia ora

[@ogathingo8885]

Usually CHina will call Rinpoches as living Buddhas. As communist country one understand such mistakes but when Western do the same mistakes, as Tibetan it makes me sad! Please Rinpoches = Juwels are special human beings , who have reached more spiritual accomplishments than the average practioners but yet have to go long way to reach Buddhahood! So please spread truth but not misinformation….

[@nhungtran-uo2ud]

Thank you very much for a beautiful video 🙏🙏🙏

[@Shanti_devi19]

He said he doesnt have miraculous powers. I guess successfully teaching westerners is a miracle by itself.

[@marti-greciaodalyz1818]

what do you consider this "Teaching" is? how would you describe it? in other words, What is being taught successfully? if you've intuited the teachings correctly, then you have been reached with Buddhistic Dharma.

[@Shanti_devi19]

I think I can't answer the first question. Teaching in a general sense maybe, on how to avoid unnecessary wordly attachments and suffering. We are so attached to things and relationships creating great suffering in ourselves and in the world. I am not a buddhist teacher, I am only guessing here. The success of such an enterprise may be evaluated by the person himself/herself on how this person can lead a happy life without creating more suffering, or fear of suffering or death. That is a great undertaking no matter where you are coming from or who you are. Some of us are luckier than others, in the West it is more difficult to succeed maybe because we are so deep in the material world. We are not used to think of happiness in terms of karma and dharma. My 2 cents :) have a nice day

[@marti-greciaodalyz1818]

you are on the right path to your own personal awakening, Akasha. that is why i asked of WHAT you intuit. your "2 cents" have great SPIRITUAL value! have a good day! : )

[@Shanti_devi19]

Thank you :)

you are very welcome Akasha. and it has especially pleased me that we have met! you are on your way, dear!

Not all Buddhist monks are celibate and in many traditions they do have families. What kind of life do you lead though? I bet it's a lot sadder than this guy's.

[@bigmoe9459]

The bible does not support reincarnation.

[@ID-8491]

Big Moe Reincarnation doesn't support Bible.

[@bigmoe9459]

John Wiseman Life doesn't support reincarnation because just like if evolution were true you would still have half ape and half humans seen daily the same thing with reincarnation. You live once and that's it. You don't come back.

[@ID-8491]

Big Moe Nope. You don't live once.

[@bigmoe9459]

I know that we can go back and forth on this but I will share a personal experience with you. I have seen spirits before. What do you think about spirits?

[@ID-8491]

Big Moe I do believe spirits exist.

[@blackrain303]

Here is some enlightenment... Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment

[@blackrain303]

Because ...it's a lie. So no i don't respect lies or being lied too. If you do then that is your choice This is about peoples lives OK 2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

[@blackrain303]

I respect your view...scripture is not shoving belief. If they believe that then it is there choice. I have the right and will exercise it in a good way. I watch this channel often and dont comment on many videos. But if i do on this then that is my right and your right to disagree. Watching videos and commenting is not barging in, if it is then you are doing the same.

[@blackrain303]

Exactly... Luk_21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake Mat_24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

[@ID-8491]

blackrain303 What if what you wrote here is a lie too?

[@Chaps0n]

Christians and Muslims are by far the most fooled people roaming this planet. Sad to witness, but it's hard to guide such brainwashed souls. Maybe in their next life.
