Abhidhamma is the science of the universe explained in Buddhism. According to that science, there are 28 material forms, 52 mental forms/fields, 1 mind/chitta form, 1 nibbana form. Abhidhamma explains how 89 types of existence emerged from those fundamental realities in the universe. Surprisingly, there is a way to prove the existence of those fundamental realities. Abhidhamma is an explanation about the nature of reality like quantum physics. But unfortunately most people don't know about that. Buddhism is based on the scientific explanations about the fundamental phenomenon.

This is one of the best explanations about Buddhism. The Buddha is not a god, they don't worship the Buddha but it's a way of showing respect to him. Learn meditation to purity the mind & to train our monkey mind, learn to understand the truth of nature. Buddhism is not a religion, but it's a way of life. Be aware of what happened, let it happen and accept it.

[@keepintouchthailand9983]

[@markshepperson3603]

In theory yes but in practice Buddha in Thailand can be appealed to and grants favours via ‘magic’. It’s kind of a Jesus type worship for cultural Buddhists. Philosophical Buddhists might have a more sophisticated view. I’m strongly against it as it’s misogynistic in the extreme. The reward or punishment (like most religious) is given on death, In Buddhism the goal is to not be reborn, IE attain a state of enlightenment so you don’t NEED to be reborn. Here a woman HAS to be reborn a man to attain enlightenment. It’s basically so sexist that the magic that judges your life and reassigns a new vehicle for your next life views women as unworthy.

I have only been to Thailand once, and I was fascinated by this country and its people. Buddhism is a big part of my life, and I think that Thai people should really appreciate their culture and keep it alive, not westernize too much. Their culture has a lot to offer.

[@wanaraz]

I don't know how to put this in words very well but his last thought and words to the world actually moved me quite a bit. I felt a sensation in my body. Hard to explain but there is power in his words. I am going to try and be better in this world.

[@chadtippapart7534]

I believe KK has practiced at least a few hundreds hours of meditation. He’s a free spirit individual. Because of his practice he has sharpened his mind rather respectfully. When he focused to the camera to communicate to us, the audience he has combined his words with his discipline, (non-tangled) mind , His communication lodged straight into people hearts and minds. And I got that tingling feeling too. Thus, in the last part of the video we have witnessed how this individual has developed himself into the spiritual realm quite high already. I think he’s deserved a new nickname: he’s SUPER KK, one of the best Chiengmai monks. Another classy KZbin vlog Thanks Chris,!

[@ikkue]

As a Thai of the younger generation, I've grown to understand and appreciate Buddhism as a base philosophy of living life and not a religion. The definition of religion, when applied to Buddhism, kind of falls out and doesn't really apply as it would do with, say, Christianity or Islam. I see Buddha as a great philosopher of the time, with teachings that have withstood the test of time and still work to this day.

[@sayajinmamuang]

because western religions or abrahamic religions such as islam or christianity seek for a savior and follow a code of living to enter heaven. with buddhism the ultimate goal is enlightenment so that we dont keep coming back to experience the same sufferings life after life. buddhism is a philosophy and way of life but it can also be a religion.

We enjoyed this conversation very much Chris and although I get into Buddhism before ever finding Thailand, it was refreshing to her this man articulate so wonderfully well the teachings of Sidharta Gotema. Personally, I try to follow the five basic preceps of Buddhism because it makes perfect sense to me. Not to kill, not to steal, not to lie or commit adultery are honourable notions. It's the fifth one that I have most trouble with and that is not to be intoxicated. It is of course logical to refrain from having a few beers but as an Englishman to not be intoxicated is a very big ask! In truth though, when I hear people say " You only live once" I say, how do you really know?! We all like to think we have the answer to everything but the wisest way to deal with the question, " What is the meaning of life?" is to say " "I don't know." Be an agnostic like me because any other directive is arrogance personified.

[@deadpoet2411]

@Frank Hi, I am a Buddhist Thai man in Bangkok. I suggest you refrain from vowing to follow the five precepts for the day you know you will drink alcohol. I do this too when Im going to party with friends sometimes hehehe. And I uphold the five precepts on the other days. May you find the inner peace and happiness 😇😍.

[@inezdebaue4077]

A very inspiring, insightful conversation and an extremely enlightening experience indeed. I really enjoyed listening as it made me feel very relaxed and happy. It all starts with one itself and how you perceive everything that surrounds you. In today’s world it’s hard not to be manipulated/ indoctrinated, but if you stay with your essence as a human being, you’ll find deep within all the happiness, contentment and love you’re made of. Be considerate and mindful towards every living being and practice tolerance, kindness and empathy. Inner satisfaction and happiness radiates outwards and infects your fellow human beings with positive emotions. Your thoughts will always guide you. What you think, is what you are or will become. So handle this knowledge very wisely and with the utmost care. Blessings and love from Germany/ Belgium ❤️

" Symbol of peace Symbol of compassion,symbol of non-violence." He was the Buddha. He grew up in a palace surrounded by luxury. But he gave all this up to gain ultimate wisdom. He would travel the darkest corridors of his mind to come face to face with the devil inside him. a religion where meditation is used to reach a state of complete peace and happiness. " Our own potential our own effort to know the ultimate reality." Some people describe Buddhism is not a religion but Buddhism is science of mind." The Buddha's message is as relevant today as it was two and a half thousand years ago.

Unlike other religions, Buddhism,which centers on the mind,has no supreme God.

Wow, I really liked Phra KK he is a great Teacher. As a Thai, if you want to learn more about Buddhism you can go to Esan province because they have a lot of Westerner Forest Monk.

คำสอนของพุทธศาสนา สอนให้ทุกคนเป็นคนดี ให้มีสติ เข้าใจปัญหา แล้วใช้ปัญญาในการแก้ไข และไม่ทำร้ายผู้อื่น และให้อยู่กับปัจจุบัน ทำวันนี้ให้ดี ให้มีความสุข🙏🙏🙏
