Christ & Buddha: Love or Detachment?

The Buddha teaches detachment - Christ teaches love. Who should we listen to? Can we reconcile these two teachings? What do love and detachment even mean?
These questions lead us into the heart of the Buddhist and the Christian tradition. Indeed, they lead us back into our own hearts. Even, if you will, into the heart of God.
In this video, we explore the types of love (sadism, narcissism, personal love, true love, and detachment) and how they reveal themselves in Christian and Buddhist scripture. Our discussion takes us to questions about the nature of the self, the problem of evil and suffering, and the parallels between Christianity and Buddhism.

The word “detachment” is so often misunderstood in this context. Truthfully, when we detach from our own ego / selfish / prideful nature, our love becomes much more deep and profound. 🙏🏻💕 Detachment is not about not caring, or being distant. It’s about caring enough to detach from that which does not serve us nor others.

You can have detachment and still love. Love without becoming attached.

[@lukemckean6155]

Yes! In Tibetan Buddhism they talk about two types of love ie wishing love - the wish that all beings are happy regardless of their behavior etc and attachment love - the idea that we will love someone only while they behave in a way we see fit. I think you can guess which we are encouraged to abandon and which we are encouraged to grow 😃🙏❤️

He’s not pointing towards the contrast between them but rather both paths lead to the same realization.

[@silnetofsn]

In inferior level, I'd say, an image that comes to my mind is what Kant says about judging objects of art. It's an ideal way of judging works of art, in which the judge/appreciator should be disinterested, but that isn't the same as being indifferent to it, because the the attention is on the artwork itself for its own sake. Is it possible to love someone with “disinterested interest.” ? This idea is already quite paradoxical , and love without becoming attached seems kind of similar.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

I would put forth the idea that our being is exactly the same in every one. Attachments form like molecules among corresponding ideas. A person is an idea that is ever changing in the mind of God, the all, the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead who is like Pinocchio an idea which appears to believe it can choose another idea but only the witness can choose because it is the actual life of the body that appears to be but is just a passing image. Jacob saw the face of God in the land of Pineal and confessed "I am" Jacob. 🙏

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

We are love. Only the mind says different. Greed, hatred and delusion require mind such as justifications and rationalizations, Mental effort, whereas love just IS. No justification, no need to rationalize and perfectly effortless isn’t it? You see some living being suffering and unless you’re a psychopath which is rare, the first place I feel desire to help and or the pain of the being I see is my heart. Idk. That’s my experience anyway

[@theflowoflife4252]

@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices Love is to be understood and practiced with awareness and understanding. Most of the time, there's a very thin line between love and clinging or attachment. Love should be practiced with wisdom and awareness. Otherwise today's love become reason for tomorrow's hatred. Similarly pitying is not a complete kind of virtue in itself, unless it is combined with compassion. Empathy is good but useless unless altruism is associated with it. These are considerations in Buddhism. Buddhism is very deep in its concept and practices, not shallow as christianity, where you are to lock your rational thinking attributes first, believe in whatever is written in the primitive book and believe. There's no comparison between the two.

Do you unnecessarily destroy the lives of poor, innocent animals and gorge on their bloody carcasses? Do you believe homosexuality and transvestism is moral? Do you consider feminist ideology to be righteous?

It's "good" to be kind to those we disagree with because we are all in our own specific point of human development. It is not necessary to believe anything, only to accept possibilities. This tension between "believers" and "nonbelievers" is due to the writing down of traditions that were meant to be spoken word only. By writing them down we have essentially robbed them of all of their power to free humanity from fear and turned them into shackles of the mind while robbing them of their ability to evolve. ... I'm inclined to believe that this was intentional. I guess my question was this, after realizing that you only focused on the negative of "Christianity" did you also find some deeper reality of self, leading to some kind of paradigm shift?

To me, love is the combination of Fascination and compassion. I am completely fascinated and thankful for my existence, therefore I show compassion, tolerance, and understanding to everything else that exists. From a flea, to my fellow humans. From a grain of sand, to a majestic Mountain. We are all a collection of molecules and everything is a piece of a grand puzzle. This puzzle is not static, but very dynamic. Be a good puzzle piece and help others to find their place in this fabulous universe. To me that is love. Doing my part to alleviate suffering, that is love.

Detachment simply means understanding how your ego is causing all of your suffering.

As a person that has in his youth searched through New age mysticism, then eastern religions, Buddhism, and finally after going through many science, philosophy, psychology classes as an adult finally settled on Christianity (as embodied by Jesus) as my most satisfactory unifying world view, I find this video to be incredibly thought provoking. A tremendous unification of these ideas. Very beautifully articulated. I often struggle to articulate how all my previous experiences into spiritually harmonically resonate into one another like a fractal, or like music, or a spectrum of light. Your treatise on this topic is one of the closest I have come to the view I have come to hold as a synthesis of my life experiences and exposure to these different paths of inquiry.

So I would like to ask you what are your toughts about it, since you' re a christian.

[@JaakkoJohannes]

@@lunarember5592 Hello. There are 2 main issues in this matter. 1. People take certain verses too literally and 2. There are mistranslations in bible translations. The word often translated as hell in the bible is ”sheol” in hebrew and in greek ”hades”. This simply means the beyond where everyone went prior to Jesus. The Jewish people translate this word literally as ”the neither world”. You can think of it as the astral plane. Even king David said ”You will not leave my soul in sheol” and Jacob said that he will go to sheol when he heard Joseph died. In the new testament Jesus tells a parable of the rich man and lazarus. Both of them go to hades (greek translation of sheol) where lazarus who was righteous is at peace with Abraham, but the rich man who lived in the flesh is in torment. The state of their being determined how they perceived the beyond. The closest thing in the bible to a hell is the lake of fire in the book of revelation. But you need to understand that the book of revelation is a symbolic apocalyptic text and isn’t meant to be understood completely literally. In the book of revelation it also says that Jesus has the keys of death and hades (sheol). It also says that the lake of fire is the second death. This is beyond the scope of this comment and a very deep mystery, but it ties in with the secret of reincarnation, which is still taught in Judaism to this day. I hope this will help get you started if you choose to research these matters. Many blessings 🙏

You do not! Because Christianity is not about if Jesus taught - Love Thy God with all Thy heart.... It is about Jesus loved you so much that He died for you on the cross! It is immaterial whether you have to love God or Satan. But Christianity teaches that you simply believe that Jesus has died for you on the cross and keep proclaiming it. Then "Salvation" is yours!

[@wordscapes5690]

I have always wondered why certain Buddhists (and Christians) find similarity within Buddhist and Christian doctrines and teaching. As a Theravada Buddhist, who is faithful to the Pali canon, I have always found the Christian doctrines extraordinarily contradictory to what the Buddha taught. You often forget that the Christian doctrinal view includes two “books” - the Old Testament, bound up in extraordinarily violent, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, and religiously intolerant texts - and the New Testament. The New Testament is certainly less violent, but retains the misogyny, the homophobia, and (to a large extent) the religious intolerance. It always astounds me how pro Christian Buddhists, and pro Buddhist Christians always focus in on those texts that are objectively moral and are in accordance with the ideas of the Buddha. They invariably totally ignore the texts that are inconvenient to their politely positive narratives. People who are abused by Christians find it astounding how good Buddhists show zero hesitation when it comes to ignoring their struggles in the name of religious harmony. They become, as it were, the sacrificial victims of pan-religious tolerance. To be sure, in the Theravada tradition, misogyny is to be found. Misogyny is something both traditions have in common. But as for the homophobia, the violence and the religious intolerance, the two traditions could not be more dissimilar. And no matter how similar the “Love one another” and “Do unto others…” quotes are relied upon to show their similarity, the sheer volume of negative, ghastly, and downright wicked practices recommended in the Christian scriptures (Old Testament and New) FAR outweigh the positive aspects of those writings. Whereas in the Buddha’s canonical utterances, the sheer abundance of goodly, kindly, helpful, passive, non-violent, and perfectly helpful advice, is in stark contrast to the utterances of Jesus (and the traditions associated with those utterances). I hope I am not being too unkind, but this is my honest opinion - an opinion based on my sincere readings of the texts mentioned. If I have offended any Christian here, please accept my sincere apologies, but know that the majority of ideas contained within your scriptures offend me far more, but I do not require apologies. I do, however, require that you think far more deeply before comparing Christ and the Buddha - two very, very different teachers whose trees bore (and continue to bear) very different kinds of fruit. Thank you. Namo Buddhaya.

Thanks for all your inspiring investigative videos, much appreciated. I think the Buddha taught non-attachment rather than detachment, the cultivation of inter being rather than alienation

[@mindfulkayaker7737]

Thank you, For me when Jesus taught to love God and others he meant that for him love is the absence of a separated self in such a way that the terms “l” “God” and “Neighbor” are the same Self. Similarly when the Buddha taught detachment he also meant the absence of an individual separated “Self” and the unity of All beings in the “Emptiness” of ideologies , religions and personal desires. Exactly the same teaching, Even, they were not two different spiritual teachers but the same Universal Consciousness speaking through two different mouths in two different times, cultures and places.

Buddha was just someone who suffered from mental trauma by death and sufferings. If Jesus waa there, he would have told Buddha not to fear death. You can't compare Buddha to Jesus, Jesus welcomes death with peace, the only isaue that caused him to fear ia the pain for he has to go through a terrible death. Many people who had a near dead experiences say they no longer fear death. Whereas Buddha feared death to the point of death. This proves that he is not divine but a common man like us fear death. I believe if Jesus had been there he would have told Buddha to be bold because there's nothing to fear death. Buddha also felt the pain seeing sufferings.. but couldn't do anything to heal them, this also proves that he is just like us. If Jesus had been there he would have taught buddha to perform miracles and help them instead of just pondering alone. The enlightenment that buddha had is nothing divine but just a self awakening to the reality.

Only form of spirituality that has tangible evidence to prove it is real. Today Hinduism is extremely understood. They doo believe in One God but from this God are many manifestations of other forms of itself as well as all souls like us and the rest of reality. I've also had direct spiritual experiences where I've encountered Lord Shiva Lord Buddha and seen the outline presence of Yeshua/Christ and Lord Krishna while meditating.

Not words of God clearly corrupt men. Many hypocritical verses about God and the concept of eternal hell is absurd that God would be that evil. Hinduism Sanatan Dharma is the only one that makes sense literally spiritually and metaphysically. There are higher and lower lokas(realms/dimensions) that we ascend or descend to because of karma. But even if we fall to lower lokas that are like hell we can still rise back up to the heavenly abodes. Hinduism believes in One God even though God has many manifestations of itself and more ways to understand and praise God. Christianity ripped most of its stories from the vedas changed names and barely changed them. Flood story is directly taken from one of the first events of Earth but not Noah it's Manu who loaded up an arc along with people and animals and plants along with many miracles Jesus performed are copied miracles that Lord Krishna achieved at larger scales. Also Yeshua/Christ was a Hindu who achieved Krishna consciousness it's why 20 years are missing from his life and he went to Egypt Tibet and India became Hindu and strove for enlightenment and achieved it. Became Krishna conscious and went back home to teach what he learned. The church removed that fact he was a Hindu meditated did yoga and mantra chanting to keep Christians unbalanced emotionally clinging subconsciously to the false idea sins are pre forgiven whats the point of the 10 commandments if sins are forgiven, it puts a unsafe message in the subconscious and people tend to sin more especially when they dont think they're accountable for their sins. Karma holds us all accountable just like the law but this is the highest law, Gods law. So many stories clearly copied and many Christians that don't even a little bit act like Christ or even want to be like him so what's the point to call yourself Christian go to church or wear a cross more so a fashion statement and just going along with all the other drone worker sheep bees that don't think for themselves and can't read or critically think. Sanatan Dharma Hinduism is the only one with tangible proof scattered all over the world and much in India. All modern religions cultures and languages come from Sanatan Dharma Hinduism, Sanskrit is the base of all languages not Latin. Also through meditation I've directly had spiritual experiences and encountered Lord Shiva Lord Buddha Lord Krishna and Yeshua / Christ. Many people who do Kriya yoga encounter Christ specifically so if your fascinated with him maybe he can tell you the truth first hand himself. He is a devotee of Lord Krishna and is his son as we're all children of Lord Krishna

They also depict God as an evil narcissist, God is infinitely full of love and compassion God woupdnt create eternal hell because we don't praise or worship them that's stupid and kindergarten logic. God would only give into positive emotions for most important matters and a fair system as described in Hinduism with karma and the lokas(higher and lower dimensions) actually make sense. Hindus and Buddhists I encounter are always full of love and peace. I wonder why the two modern crap religions don't have yoga and meditation and have the most aggressive communities within them no correlation 🤣. Yoga and meditation are necessary for balancing you emotionally and the mind, prayer is nothing without you putting in effort as well towards prayers/goals. If you actually bother to read the whole book and utilize your brain you'll realize its full of mistakes and straight idiotic shit. Go read the Bhagavad Gita and you'll understand the difference when God speaks and when men speak like in the bible and quaran. Both bible and quaran oppress women they encourage rape killing pillaging and enslaving anyone of different religions you'd have to be a sloth or donkey to believe that horse shit or think God would approve of something so vile. Lord Krishna is all loving and will be back soon enough as Kalki to expunge the evil and multitudes of sinners and the corrupt government who helps destroy the intellect by skewing information one reason why you may be completely unaware of other religions and cultures. Lol it's so funny even revelations stole the description of Kalki right from the Kalki puran which says he'll come back on a white horse and carrying a divine sword, that copy and pasted the same description to Jesus. You gotta ask yourself who came first your father or you. If you're smart enough to understand that you can understand the same for religions and the many copy paste stories from Hindu texts to bible and quaran or Torah. Sanatan Dharma means the eternal way so you'll eventually come back as you more than likely used to be a believer in a past life. Also reincarnation is a fact go look up the reincarnation watch mojo video and the #1 was a boy who solved his past life murder someone killed him he was a middle aged man reborn and when he was a toddler and could start talking he described his past life and knew he was killed he remembered who did it so he sought the police described the situation. They found the murder weapon and the man who committed the murder confessed. The boys went to his past life family and they all believed it was the older man he knew all their names memories personal details etc. Karma and reincarnation are facts of life. Start to read more and don't let just the limited education and mindset of the West degrade you mentally. There is so much to learn in life if you truly want to come closer to understanding God learning more is one way. Gods intellect is unlimited so the more you know the more you can understand things from Gods pov/mind. I used to pray fervently as a Christian but never felt anything remotely spiritual or uplifting about it. As soon as I started doing yoga and meditating it changed my life completely. Way happier more peaceful easier to control my emotions and I've had multiple direct spiritual experiences with God it makes me feel blessed. The church has also admitted to editing the bible over 14,000 times, removing 25 books and heavily editing the story of Christ. Even the earliest version n of the bible the Sinai bible never mentions Christ death in fact it says he got married and had kids. So when it comes to believing the words of the biggest group of pedophiles on the planet I don't. And even if your aren't Catholic the bible all versions are from the Catholic bible that's been edited. But don't worry Lord Krishna is not jealous and is happy as long as you pray to God and follow Karma being kind loving and selfless fairly easy to do. The truth is out there for those who are genuinely interested

This has long been a challenge for me. The idea of not suffering due to the death of a loved one is anathema to my soul. I choose to be attached to those I love in spite of the suffering that is inevitable. Loving everyone as myself has only made me feel more attached to the world, not less. I simply don't understand the point of existing on this plain at all if the overarching goal is to become detached. It feels like a pointless existence focused on the avoidance of suffering. Your perspective is interesting, but I don't know that it supplies a resolution to my personal dilemma. I'm more of a "be here now" kind of believer than a "looking forward to heaven" kind. I'm not a tourist of the Earth, I'm more like a migrant. I know I'm not from here, but let's do what we can to make it feel like home.

[@WanderingWonders77]

Thank you for making this video. ♥ I have lately been fascinated at the overlap and universality found amongst various faiths once a practitioner reaches the more "mystical" levels of practice. The themes of minimizing the ego and realizing that one is really a part of an interconnected whole is a thread that ties a lot of faiths together in a beautiful way. I have been exploring Buddhism lately and your videos on those topics have been very useful, but videos like this remind me that my Christian roots still have depth and value in some of the teachings.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

I've found from others that the belief we all share the same being is found in all the major religions and science. From this shared belief found by experience comes the 10s of thousands of opinions about how we should act in consideration of this revelation of self. It seems most followers of religion have no idea that the most fundamental belief of their religion is shared in the scriptures of all other major religions but many are finding this truth in the information age. 🙏

Detachment, in this context, serves as the exercise to cultivate within us the capacity for unconditional love-the meeting ground where paradoxes converge. True, experienced, and applied unconditional love liberates you; it may indeed be the necessary cost for acquiring genuine freedom. Upon reaching this state, you reconnect with unity consciousness, adorned with a subtly geometrically shaped body, poised to usher in a new, evolved interconnectedness among us.

[@QuantumlyILL]

Love & Detachment has been the main topic amongst my friends and I recently. This was a fresh take on the entire thing and I can't wait to incorporate this perspective. Secondly, I have been trying to show everyone who comes to me with suffering about just how interesting light is. I point them to the simple fact that our eyes don't perceive light as it travels. Darkness is an illusion created by our vision. In reality light is flooding every part of this universe. I love how you then tie that into our egos being the prism that separates the white light into color. Profound. Thank you.

[@frederickanderson1860]

Get a life man we all have our own perceptions about our own .Iives, individually we are not same, don't follow a guy who just sat under a tree and was a prisoner of his own subjectively.

[@QuantumlyILL]

@@frederickanderson1860 enlightenment be upon you, friend. You know, I've spent over 12 years on this path now. It personally took me nearly 10 of those 12 to begin to understand the truth in the teachings of Siddhartha. The moment it happened I was sitting in traffic actually. But either way, it was so beautiful. It still is, even if the novelty has worn off just a bit. Who are you? This is such a profound question when a type of perspective is found to ponder it. This individuality we cling to is an illusion, and he was correct that to attach yourself to something (without a greater understanding) you also are setting up the dominos for pain/suffering in the future, regardless of how small or great the thing you have attached to is, from a petty item to a person. Because time is not going anywhere, and it's purpose is two fold, to give to you and to take away from you. Most are ready to have life hand them things, most are not ready when life asks for these things back. I feel I can keep talking, but will stop here. I hope you find your perspective towards this ancient wisdom that I certainly didn't figure out on my own.

[@frederickanderson1860]

@@QuantumlyILL again Buddha perspective is his own subjective mind set. Isolation in many religions can produce weird mind states. Visions and out of body in some cases. People who believe they been abducted by aliens have a condition that can't distinguish their sleep state and waking state. The mind is influenced by many things and who knows were it's thoughts come from. Is it your own thoughts or something beyond our control. Isolated people are subjective to thoughts that they can't control. Hypnotism is one good example of mind control that influence people's behavior, yet not all are influenced by Hypnotism. The mind body in placebo tests proves that . Nobody knows the mind , as the Greeks saying at Delphi know thyself. Not many can answer that to escape the death less region of hades

[@QuantumlyILL]

@@frederickanderson1860 I say all of this with compassion. I see what you are asking, and though my answer my seem irrelevant, it is answering the aspect of how we carry and dwell on the things you mention. So I continue, that you are not the voice in your head carrying around these experiences, instead you are the one who can hear this voice. Life wants to live through us, but often we want it the other way around. Further, what are words? Where did they come from? If we are to believe science, then there was a time when we didn't have these words. Being cavemen and such. To further the point, the words you and I are using now were certainly not used back then. They are an invention. A hack into our own biological systems in order to achieve a sort-of "true telepathy". So this voice we both have in our heads, the one that seems to be "who we are", that voice that allows for the states of mind you have mentioned is rooted in something we can trace back at least in writing. Yet what were we before we allowed this entity into our minds? Regardless of the content, you and I are what hears these thoughts, not the thoughts or the emotional baggage they bring with them. Not the story of 'romanticizing/pain' of the past, nor the 'worry/fantasy' of the future. We simply are. This may seem like isolation, but remember as this video points out, Siddhartha spent his time teaching others, not hidden away. I like to use the words Rock and Tree as examples of the falsehood of words. What would your mind conjure up when I hand you a random rock and say the word rock to you? Probably nothin special. However, if you took the time to wonder in awe upon the journey of every atom of that rock in your hand... it's so unfathomably deep. Through the cosmos the atoms have gone from creation to formation, how long have they traveled... Churned through the earth and countless times. Now, it sits in your hand. The same could be said for any plant or tree and the evolutionary journey its been on to sit before you. If Rock and Tree can hypnotize you into such a dull reaction, what chance do you have at understanding the depth of life or a human or how we got here? Words are not truth, they are simply sign posts to an unfathomably deep reality. And the voice in our heads holds us back from true wonder, true love. man... don't get me started on light...

[@frederickanderson1860]

@@QuantumlyILL again isolation creates a subjective state of mind. No outside influences are allowed. Imagine a hermit sitting in a isolated cave in a isolated mountain range, and compare that kind of person who has been in that isolated state for a long time. Now Consider the person who lives in a chaotic big metropolitan city, constant noise and chaos, plus he has to work to feed his family. In my own opinion the hermit has a free uncomplicated and no responsibility in his world. Therfore a isolated individual will ponder on what no responsibility no family no connection with the different cultures in this world, he will think like you mentioned on what l wonder, himself , again he goes in himself a subjective state of mind. A rock has no bearing on my own existence, only if it has a practical purpose.

The essence of Buddhism is love and compassion. For Buddhists God is irrelevant. The love and compassion Buddha talks is for entire sentient beings, not limited to the neighbours. Buddha never talks about hatred. The Buddha talks about wisdom and compassion. God itself is an imaginary character, not reality. God is human creation. Therefore, the vary foundation of Christianity is laid on a fairy tale of god and his creation. Buddhism is science of mind. In the noble eight fold path, the Buddha talks of right efforts and right livelihood. With these two life's strategy , you can enjoy wealth, relationship, every worldly possessions. There's no scope of hatred in Buddhism, because we are all interdependent. Hating someone would ultimately mean hating ourselves. Hurting someone would ultimately mean hurting ourselves. Buddha advises to cherish and long for positive desire. Desire to live a just, moral and meaningful life. The Buddha advisees not to cling too much or for no craving for material things. Buddha advised to live life in awareness. Because all phenomenon are impermanent. Clinging to impermanent things out of ignorance brings forth desperation, frustration, hatred, anger, jealousy and suffering. Christianity is a fairy tale. U r to believe in an imaginary sky daddy keeping watch over you, even when you shit. Only a stupid, brainwashed and ignorant person would believe in that fairy tale. Buddhism is a profound philosophy, a science of mind, a tool to explore immense human potential and to bring out the best version of you through your own efforts, without banging of any outside supernatural imaginary power, God ..blah blah... The purpose of Buddhism is to live a meaningful life. A life in which there is happiness for self and with scope of making others happy. Apu deepo bahva.. Be your own light.. U r very powerful.. That's what the exalted Human teacher, the great Buddha advised.

[@yubyub96]

Thank you so much for this thought provoking video 🙏🖤!! Your channel is a wellspring for spiritual insight. Regarding your closing chapter about detatchment and how it can actually be love I think about a beautiful concept: Enantiodromia, it is the marriage of opposites, the grey zone which can become both dark and light, it is the chicken in the egg and the egg in the chicken. With this concept I think that first we ought to look at what we call ignorance, just as you said, we reach true knowledge only when we are conscious of our ignorance, and we become ignorant when we believe to have reached knowledge (I don't miss this contradiction). At the same time what we call God or Buddha nature is detached in face of sadism because it can love it as part of life, it can recognize that if it were to impose it's will onto the sadist then that won't be an act of love, but of sadism as well, after all the sadist will suffer from not being able to make others suffer. It is a difficult thing to admit but love requires a lot of knowledge (ignorance) and most of all freedom. Yet this freedom also imprisons us because we cannot change others, otherwise they wouldn't be free, we ought to let the entire wheel of life spin, we can preach but we cannot enforce others towards higher levels of consciousness. Now why do we say "higher" as in "better"? Because finally the sadist can destroy the very thing which feeds his joy, by causing suffering onto others evil destroys its own nourishment, because it is also another face of goodnes after all the sadist recognizes it's need for others to feel good, he still feels this connection to other(himself) but in a twisted manner which ultimately corrupts itself. Yet it is strange that those who know true love don't really need other's in the same way, they can satisfy that need by recognizing the otherness in themselves, the richness of the inner world. I agree that it is difficult to put this into words, I don't know if what I have written makes sense to others, as you say, this isn't something which language is capable of conceptualizing. But if I were to say a last thing it is that both good and evil are necessary for eachother's existance, because they are the same thing, yet evil tries to destroy love out of the desire for purely it's own selfish enjoyment, and therefore it is condemned to forever fail because this self doesn't really exist; and good is free from wishing to destroy evil because it can understand and love it's pressence as part of itself, and therefore it is capable of forever succeding.

I would suggest checking out Neville Goddard or a little channel called Oheneba Official for an understanding that the Bible is an allegory. Or you could Google, What is the original Biblical meaning of a word like Noah and find it means peace and then read, God saw that all he created was evil and so he came to peace and then he let go of the world like Buddha under the Bhoddi tree. Goddard teaches that purity in, In order to enter the Kingdom of God a man must first have a purity of heart, means swept clean as a field from a flood. 🙏

[@misfitkid3926]

It’s def not more important.

[@chrisjarmain]

Exactly, and this is why I have been revisiting these concepts. Logically, people who have a relationship to a religion in some form are generally happier. But I don't particularly favour the Christian idea of the universe, life, and my place within it. I'm far more sympathetic towards Dàoism that sees life, the universe, and self as an organism. A more organic world view. Rather than the mechanical worldview that Christianity seems to uphold.

[@chrisjarmain]

Great video, as usual. On “detachment,” if our soul continues after this life, then all these horrible scenarios that one can experience are lesson from which one can grow and learn. Regardless, once one dies after such a horrifying event (like being brutally murdered), the realization or “experience” of “surviving” it as a soul, might be more profound sense of love, in comparison to someone who wished he’d lived forever, cuz their life was so good. I guess I’m having a hard time explaining what I mean… but to simplify, it’s the difference of a glass of water in the desert or in an air-conditioned room with a refrigerator full of one’s favorite drinks….

Honestly there were several questions that were posed to him that he intentionally didn’t answer and I believe there was at least one that revolved around the potentiality of the existence of a god and he just didn’t answer. In my opinion that’s because he believed it was a type of speculation that was taking your attention away from focusing on yourself and your growth in the teachings. I can think of a saying the Buddha said that goes something like this, “he who has done good works in this world receives rest in this world and in the next.” Meaning if you focus on your own growth and do good works you’ll have nothing to worry about in this world and in whatever world there is to come.

Then the atoms expanded and those things within them appeared and in their turn revealed their constituent parts. Eventually they too were revealed and so on until it seemed that everything melted into one "substance". Here an utterley pure, unconditional and unconditioned Love simply offered Itself. Not to me, for there was no place, including this, where It was not. How could "I" give Love when it is already everywhere in Its entirity? Here, there is no point in an "I" at all. Offered for the good of all beings. 🙏💞

@@rduse4125 I haven’t read that! I don’t want to think too much about how accurately it applies to me…

​@@rduse4125 You believe in Christianity? Beware, so many Christiana suffered depression and committed suicide 😢(Korean celebrities) . Check these 25 evidence especially those in no.3 and 4: 25 IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE that proved Bible God is likely FAKE and useless to believe in. don't miss no.5, 6 and the last 2 paragraphs that explains why such religion is created: 1) A CREATOR god if true should be the first religion but the pagans, Greek, Chinese, Hinduism religions existed earlier and why didn't this all mighty god prevent other religions? 2) Why should an almighty and all knowing God allow their people to branch off and kill their parent religion Judaism or Zoroastruism and later allowed Islam to be created and had holy wars/crusades with Christianity? "Free will" is not an excuse since they claimed their God killed all people with a big flood earlier. 3) Bible stories copied from older pagans, Greek, Egyptian or Hinduism religions(note the names too) E.g. Adam/Eve with Atman/Jiva a pair of birds, big flood and survivor Noah/3 sons with Manu/3 daughters, Abraham/Sarah with Brahma/Saraswathi, Moses with Krishna etc, all similar stories. 4) Jesus copied from Buddha: Maya and Mary, miracle birth and virgin birth, birth during a journey home and birth from home, prophesied after birth, had a disciple who betrayed them, walked on water stories, Gautama left the palace at age 29 and Jesus appeared at 29, Gautama became Buddha at 35 and Jesus died and resurrected at about 35 too, Buddha had a big meal while Jesus had a last supper before they died, 500 Arahants witnessed compilation of Buddha's teachings and over 500 witnesses to Jesus's resurrection, Buddha sacrificed his future kingdom and family while Jesus sacrificed his life, there will be a future Buddha and Jesus will return, the Trinity is same meaning as in the 3 bodies of the Buddha etc. All coincidental? Beside Buddha, Jesus copied from Horus too. Surely they can't be ALL coincidental. 5) Tricky tithings method. They know people will be shy not to pay or tend to pay more when others could be watching. So they intentionally collect money during mass and don't use a box like Buddhism, Hinduism or Chinese temples where people can donate anytime. Catholics and Islam even made it bigger by suggesting a certain percentage from their income. 6) Bad teachings, eg encouraging alcoholism by saying Jesus turned water into wine, encouraging incest with story of a father who sexed with her 2 daughters, encouraging hatred eg in Mark's words 16:16 and Luke's 19:27, and so many other violence etc. 7) Words like God "love you" "forgives" "sins" to trick or attract gullible people but why true compassion wasn't taught. Hatred and violence are very much encouraged as the Bible said God killed many more people compared to Satan who killed only a few. 8) Using words like "Lord" "Father" "serve God" etc are tricks to make followers obedient or feel like slaves and be submissive to them. 9) Why didn't they give step by step teachings on how to achieve good morality eg right mindfulness or right intentions like Buddhism did if their intention is really good? Wisdom, mindfulness and meditation are not taught because they don't want their followers to be wise or having a clear mind. 10) The Bible copied very much from older religions but "deleted" karma and reincarnation believed in the original Torah as these beliefs can prevent people from doing bad deeds and also defeat the purpose of an all mighty God idea. 11) Bad teachings like "Jesus turn water into wine" to encourage intoxication so they will lose their minds. 12) Christian babies born with disease or innocent children being abused or died young proved no God, 13) It don't makes sense to claim that only their believers will go to heaven and others don't. A good religion should be non-sectarian, secular and treat all people, believers or non-believers equally. 14) Most festivals and holidays including Christmas(Jesus can't be born in winter), Easter, Thanksgiving, Good Friday, All Souls, Halloween and even New Year are all copied from paganism in other to convert people. 15) Using intimidating tactics like hell or "end of the world" fear every 2 years but we are still here. 16) Mother Teresa and her evil ways(Google for them), after she died, those money she collected was not returned to India. 17) If their God is all-mighty, why need missionaries? 18) Ongoing children sex abuses committed by the pastors/priests. 19) The Bible condemned dogs because they know dogs are man's best friend. Making men lonely is the best way to keep them dependant on religion. 20) If God is the creator, why they condemn homosexuality and LGBT people? 21) Why must the Bible be rewritten or changed so many times or give excuses like metaphor, allegory, fables, "not to mean literally" or "out of context" etc whenever flaws are found? Truths will never have plot holes. 22) The 10 Commandments is flawed or incomplete, eg only no lies are taught for speech, how about hatred or two-tongued speech? 23)The case of Galileo proved definitely the “creator” is definitely not the Christianity God 24) Incidents, eg: (a) Covid-19 top 60 fatality rate countries are all highly Christians populated (b)The Air Asia plane crash of 2014/ killed 41 church members, 2 missionaries and their few month old baby. (c) Spree killings happened inside a church, (d) Priest and pastor killed by lightning etc. 25) Among the top 5O countries with the highest homicide rate, 48 of them are all with high Christians population of over 80% according to worldpopulationreview website. Only 1 reason can conclusively tie up all 25 points above, this God was fake and man-made to con or control people.

Hi, followed that ... eloquent and clear...thank you on behalf of myself and others (tongue in cheek there) Grace (room) for ourselves and everyone 🙏

[@diogo.tupinamba]

Thanks 🙏🏼. I never watched such a wise content in the whole youtube. The “detach love” idea is fascinanting. The nagarjuna philosophy comes to a point that it cannot trespass explanations, because emptiness (which probably is an understanding inseparable from the detach love) it’s from outside the dualistic dimensions in which we live. The conclusion is amazing, i loved it. As we use words, concepts, colors and our skandhas to understand things, we surely would never understand what is in that spectrum of detached love. Probably, the only way to know what’s beyond what you described as “true love” it’s experiencing. You cannot explain, you cannot taste, you cannot understand. In other words… Find the bull elephant. Thanks, Simeon, you are unbelievable. I recommend an Italian professor called Giuseppe Ferraro. You probably already know him, but if it’s not the case, He’s a philosopher and teacher that dedicated his life to Nagarjuna’s philosophy.

Your voice is very soothing and I loved the video. It aligns my christian faith and buddhism.

[@katrinalowe9424]

This is simply lovely. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@RicardoTellez_journey]

So impressive analysis of love. Thank you

[@lahiruamarasekara8720]

content is beautifully put with great presentation. Thank you for the video. I think detachment can lead to true love. As in the video it happens due to transformation of ones identity. When someone detaches from what they own and what they are they realise that the identity is nothing or zero. Then they start to identify themselves as nothing and everything at the same time as zero is same as infinity. They start to identify everything as part of themselves in the process and start to care deeply for all parts of the universe. Thus detachment leads to true love.

Great use of the last movement of Mahler's Third Symphony!

[@teodorhovenberg2529]

Wow, what an amazing video. Thank you! 🙏🌱

[@lauramuralist]

This is the best mist profound video i have watched comparing Christianity and Buddhism. The truth is that we only see our existence through our limited senses, we cant see reality, that we are one and we are true love, true love is God, so we are part of God. Not the God we imagine with our very tiny minds. The love and light that NDE s have experience is more like what is true reality. Awesome work, you are a young Buddha of our time!❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful video not only audibly, but visually as as well 📿🙏📿

[@sonalib1224]

When the family and society you had to learn to love is discovered to be unjust, then both what buddha and jesus taught is what i have found to give me peace. Im just grateful that there is no imposition when it comes to freedom of speech and religion in the US and the time we have nowadays with the so much wisdom online that's shared so more people can find peace of mind and happiness this lifetime😇

Teach only Love for that is what you are. We are not separate from Love. Love is all there is❤

The first video that I see on this subject. Thank you making this video

[@akimbalati2605]

sending love to all...when buddha taught about detachment, he was teaching us the thin line between loving and owning someone, something or whatever if i truly love then i should be able to love with whatever flaws come with it, but yet i love all that i own and can change all flaws that come with my belongings and...with any being in our atmosphere from air molecules to the blue whale if i truly love em then i just let them be because whatever flaws i notice...is actually part of the others journey and if i interfere then not only am i causing tension but bringing grief to myself aswell so yeah detache from your loved ones but dont stop loving them...onelove🌻 and stay blessed

[@JennyBesserit]

This video is really good. Now I understand a lot of things that I was confused about before

[@user-ys4ck2we3v]

When egoless, Love and detachment are the same thing. Different terminology to describe them. When living in an ego driven state, love and detachment are different "concepts." Something to reach with "effort." Thank you for your video. Great food for "thought"!

[@kellycard]

Very interesting. I am a devoted Christian, though I find it difficult to explain myself, particularly to other Christians and I've married a Buddhist wife. Somehow I felt we both balance, as well as confirm one another though we speak different religious language. This video helps me to better understand my wife, but also my own pan-sacralist orientation. You have done in this video what I wish I could have done myself. So well articulated, captivating and admirable. I am sure I will watch this again, and I wish to see what more you have to say elsewhere.

[@seeker2seeker]

Thank you, my friend, your comment touches me! This video is the outcome of my own struggles as a Christian to explore the harmonies and disharmonies between what I find to be two equally profound and beautiful ways of experiencing the world.

I usually find the videos on KZbin about esoteric or religious information to fall flat. Always missing something, this is what they are missing ❤ I learn differently, I appreciate the opportunity 🙏
