Well the bible says you are born a sinner and in Buddhism, this would be a karmic lesson from a past life.

[@Aniketmore4]

​@@chinaboss6683Perfectly explained!!

[@KieronMccorquodale]

Iv gave up all hard drugs, still smoke a weed am have 4 cans of German lager. But somethings happened to me 5 yrs ago, got right into Indusim an have never turned back. I know one the major things is to stop desires, an I still love my woman. But I'm highly spiritual. Is it contradiction, i don't know. I know its all illusion an what you desire will eventually appear.. very brave of you to admit what you have on a spiritual channel.

The gift of gab AW and Mckenna, Ram Das, even my fave Joseph Campbell possessed was truly astounding. Their minds and verbiage combined with flawless knowledge of the subject matter was and is, thanks to KZbin, divine. Christopher Hitchens also had such a mind.

What gets cut out around 3:53 when he says, "I don't want to suffer, and I" (subtitles continues with "want to find someone" but it gets choppy.

[@tomwirt319]

There is in the universe, a life force, it is those few actions and beliefs that cause life to exist and grow. Suffering comes when you do or believe things that differ from the ĺife lorce.. if you feel suffering figure out what you are doing or believing that is at odds with the life force. .

[@Ming-qm3pv]

A good one by Alan. I think the earliest writings of Buddhism will be in Pali/Pakit. Sanskrit came later and still later came Classical Sanskrit which we have now. It's written in the dev nagri script which is around the 10th century I think. It may alter some meaning of certain words

[@timothyblazer1749]

Sanskrit is the older tongue, FYI. But it was fairly dead back in 600BC. Its revival later doesn't reflect on its age.

The ultimate path to nirvana is getting drunk?

[@VisibletoanyoneonYoutubes]

@@hafunland894he wasnt the path. He knew the path but didn’t fully surrender into it. And that’s okay. “Do as I say, not as I do”

[@avp192]

The ultimate path is attaining Breatheless state 😉 ... kevala Kumbakam... in doing that for long time the kundalini will rise leading to enlightment ..but for all this one needs a guru. Its what they say i have not experienced it , But the practices are effective the breathinng techniques will calm us down but it needs regular practice . Infact only with suffering people turn inward so its a hidden blessing.

[@travisferkich3605]

Ok first, just as I was about to begin this statement, all the lights around me flashed off and then back on, so this comment which I debated on leaving, is meant to be. To blow out in Alan's perception isn't necessarily wrong nor right, but let's break down the point of breathing like Watts pointed out. To breathe in, is to fill up, take in..consume. To blow out is just the opposite of such actions. To blow out in breathing analogies, is to let go, release, detach, and is no longer you but a part of self was influenced at some point. Studying myself for a decade, I'm no where near this space consistently, but I have been in and out. Which leads me to something outside of this topic that's widely misperceived... Enlightened spaces does not mean you transcend suffering in any matter or form. It's the complete opposite with one shift in internal awareness. In the light is the end is Enlightened. Meaning that you are the awareness of every side of the coin, but that awareness that you trained your nervous system, body, mind, emotions, and spirit for, is that no matter the sum total of stimuli, your awareness does not waiver into one way or the other. That's why desire or want or need must no long be present because when this occurs, every desire is available at your reach. Buddha played a whole other game most may not be aware of, and that's the cat and mouse of awareness and detachment in every nanosecond. Anyway, if you read this far..cool..if not, that's cool too. This is my first ever KZbin comment, and hopefully my last, as I choose to observe and pivot...

[@fredrikpettersson2693]

The trap of others forms a collective trap. First you need to free your self from That trap. Then your own.

How is following Buddha any different than following Jesus ? I wonder because you say all religions are a bust, but yet you're telling us about Buddhism. Mixed signals Mr.Watts

[@KAKUPS-1972]

Buddhism shouldn't be classified under religion because it's not one. Alan Watts spoke about this in one of his lectures. Reason being is it doesn't adhere or conform to a strict set of beliefs &/or rules.... There is no right or wrong way. We each have a different path in life to walk based on the choices we make.

[@AlphaQ922]

And Buddhism doesn’t require you to follow Buddha .. you don’t need to pray to him and he won’t get angry with you if you don’t pray to him nor will he send you to heaven or hell .. u are looking at this through the lens of Abrahamic faiths..

[@jamesstrom6991]
