"BUDDHISM & PHILOSOPHY: The Kalama Sutta" by Ven Dr Punnaji

Dhamma Talk at Kinrara Metta Buddhist Society (KMBS) by Ven. Dr. Punnaji Mahathera on Friday 1st August 2014. The topic "Buddhism & Philosophy: The Kalama Sutta" discusses the manner in which the Buddha had advised the Kamalas by beginning with doubt, and further explores how the Buddha's advice had in fact predicted the birth and development of Western Philosophy.

Ven. Dr. Punnaji has delivered an exceptionally fine lecture that is both clear and profound. By making analogies to Western philosophy and psychology, he has opened the door to a deep understanding of the ramifications of ideas that lacking the intellectual and philosophical framework he is able to share. A master is someone who can take a very difficult subject and make it look easy. Think again Mr. Newton, Dr. Freud, and Mr. Einstein!

It is the WISDOM of Lord Buddha which will awaken us from the Dream of Existing. Namo BUDDHAYA. JAI BHIM NAMO BUDDHAYA BAHU JANA HITHAYA BAHU JANA SUKHAYA. SADHU SADHU SADHU

[@Maggasekha]

It has been a long time since a dhamma talk struck such a chord with me as this talk in the last 10 minutes. Speaking about waking from the dream of existence, and viewing this not as an existence, but experience. I've not heard it put quite so simply and deeply as this before. Sadu Sadu Sadu

Buddhism is a religion or a philosophy. The teaching of Lord Buddha is called Lord's Dhamma (Bhagavata Dhammo). The Sutta referred to as Kalama Sutta is a Dhamma Desana. In this Sutta the Lord advices the Kalamas to follow the Majjhima Patipada. The great, nor the greatest discovery of a human mind.

Views of others or claim as truth by the those at their times ….many people don’t take trouble to look into it & simply just accept it as truth (that means No respect of the’Truth’ )🙏

[@laxmanyadaoraoaucharmal7301]

Rev.Bhanteji , I desire to hear about the Rebirth , Can a dead man can took Rebirth. To take Rebirth is it on his option ?.

[@laxmanyadaoraoaucharmal7301]

There is no Truth ,

[@kms5750]

your teaching is like hindu brahamis not buddhist first you need to understand what buddha want to say

[@wannahack7747]

Now you want to teach Buddhist about buddha. Your so called Brahman religious people insulted Buddha on their scriptures books. Brahman word is also stole from Buddhism and about Hindu it's foreign word mugals use Hindu word for Indians and Hindu means slave.
