Flying from my home country of Canada for a total of six months in south east Asia, I had the privilege of visiting both the Temple of the Emerald Buddha Wat Phra Kaew, , and also the great reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Simply amazing. So many fantastic temples in Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and other places. In my 60’s I went for Refuge in the Triple Gem and took the Five Precepts at a Theravada Buddhist temple. I’m 70 now, and have to return to Cambodia and Thailand soon….and spend the rest of my life there, die and have a Buddhist funeral and cremation. I’m home in Buddhism. Namo Buddhaya. 🙏🏼 ☸️ 🌴

That is Time crossing.. Fortunately here in sri lanka now future lord buddha is living (as Bodhisathwa, Awalokitheswara/ Amithabha/ Mathriya) and has explained even dark energy to modern society still even scientists can not be found. Lord buddha is the greatest philosopher in the world and now we have our future lord buddha has come here for world changing.. These sermons are merely marvelous and explained all science that we have to follow for nirwaana or doctrine. This is the Universal truth.. This is the deep science which explained by every lord buddha..He has power called Diyasen power which all Buddhas' acquired and there is no word to say that this is the real way one who should follow the nirwaana path. As a one who i follow this path i can purely explained this buddha's path is fully correct with no doubt. Bcos when we after having this Buddha' s blessing we find the truth and his blessing changed our whole life and started to talk the nature with us. That is amazing experience that i have obtained. Pure guaidance and verble blessing of Buddha' must take if someone want to grant this sacred gem. I kindly request all over the people those who searching Nirwaana and take this nobel gift. 💔 joint with mydiyasen. com.. May triple gem bless you all. ༺♡༻𝓓𝓪𝓻𝓼𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓲 𝓢𝓲𝔂𝓪𝓶𝓫𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓹𝓲𝓽𝓲𝔂𝓪༺♡༻ 24.05.2023

A nice journey. The ultimate realities mentioned in Buddhism: 1.) Matter/Rupa (4 great fundamental forms + 24 derived material forms) ii.) Cetasika/Chaitasika (52 Mental Factors/fields of emotions) iii.) Citta (mind moment) iv.) Nibbana (timeless/unconditioned state or moment) Those teachings are much deeper/fundamental than modern science. I could discover those fundamental realities theoretically using a new type of mathematics. But the Buddha could discover those fundamental elements and processes with the power of his mind.

@@spirittwo7381 You have limited intellect because 1). The butchers are not so stupid to kill for your pleasure. They kill for their greed of money and love for their job. 2). Sentient beings don't get reborn as animals and lower realms if they didn't create the relevant causes. So they are not here to enjoy a well deserved holiday. 3). Even mundane worldly laws also recognise that offenders cannot be made to pay for damages that are too remote from their offense. So don't be delusional to think you know spiritual laws better than the awakened ones.

[@michellepinaud9374]

​​@@spirittwo7381 Think about it this way, how many things are you maybe killing or causing suffering to everyday? You don't really know do you? But it's happening. It happens all the time. Try to apply that same logic that you do with the Buddhist who eats meat towards your own actions and behavior. Start to trace everything you consume everyday and you may find that the conditions for how those things came to be caused some sort suffering or death for someone or something. The difference: a Buddhist is mindful, we understand that we can't live in this body and not have some sort of unfavorable impact on our environment. You say we are delusional, but I would say that delusional would be in the thinking that we don't have that impact and that all our actions are a benefit to all. No one is doing what they do with bad intentions in mind and that is the point. You also have to realize that a monastic especially can't be picky about the food they eat. Monks have a symbiotic relationship with the community. The are not allowed to grow, keep, or cook food. Everyday they collect alms and they are not allowed to cause a burden by requesting food that they like. Since most people consume meat then so do the monks. I believe that if lay people gave monks strictly vegetarian food it would be easier for them to not eat meat. As for the Lay-Buddhists who eat meat, well we try to follow the precepts the best we can but who really follows all of them perfectly? Not many, not as easy for us worldlings. But just because we don't do one thing very well doesn't mean we don't contribute good at other times.

Millions of people have been born and died, billions more will be born and also died. While not knowing what they will go through in life's and not knowing what await them after death, they do all sorts of religious practices.

There is no word like dharma in Buddhism. It's dhamma and pali prakrit is older language of buddhism. Sanskrit was not used by Ashoka for propogating buddhism. He used Pali prakriti. Most western scholars are ignorant of this and have not studied Ashoka rock inscriptions andother sources of buddhism before commentary.

[@tantrichill192]

I totally agree with your point and have empathy in various branches of Buddha dhamma. Pali is early established language used in Theravada. However after Mahaparinirbana of Shakyamuni and the fall of Muriya dynasty of Ashoka, Sanskrit was the popular language in Indian sub-continent, It was widely spoken than Pali in many region. Masters from Nalanda such as Nagarjuna, Asanga, Basubanda, Shankyaakshita, Chandrakriti and Dharmakriti used Sanskrit. People easily resonated Buddha dhamma teachings in Sanskrit. Nagarjuna who burrowed the higher and well preserved teachings of Shakyamuni from Nagas used Sanskrit to teach "Pragyaparamitta" which also known as "Dhomang" in Tibetan. It made Mahayana and Vajrayana very popular after the revival of " Pragyaparamitta".

[@fredatlas4396]

​@@tantrichill192 Surely the theravadin scriptures are all in written in Pali. As I understand it there are and have been many western scholars working on trying to get correct translations of the Pali scriptures. In places like Oxford and Cambridge in England and other countries. Not sure where you got your idea from. These videos and the people speaking are clearly not western academics, nit scholars of oriental studies etc. Apparently there were originally misunderstandings of Buddhist teachings, ideas in the west when it was first introduced by western psychologists to the west. But since then I think western scholars and followers of Buddhism have tryed to correct those misunderstandings

The bastardized English word "Burma" to be used in this wonder-filled Faith supporting Spiritual is extremely bothersome, for it's a poor reminder of the spreading of ignorant attitudes British/Western pundits made of Buddhism during the 18th. Century competitive religious days since the Crusades. It is not nice to portray SE Asian Theravada spiritual devotions in such a same breath. At this age, with a world having increased better enlightened peoples globally, to use a Colonial era nomenclature is to perpetuate that negative mentality of "Not-knowing", very discouraging! It is no longer appropriate to officially and formally use this archaic word. Quite offensive actually! A program like this has a responsibility to improve and educate timely and good understanding of our current world. It will help untangled confusion with the English language, like the geographic location of a country on Earth. Please stay with the more respectful Myanmar proper name, as all English-speaking Myanmar natives can appreciate.
