In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth , after eons of life times of purification of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist pali canon / texts "marghadi " Buddhas' spoken sound language written Pali Tripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described sentience beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universe are "energies" with influence of the six ( 6 ) aggregates "elements" 1. sound (ears ), 2. taste ( tongue ), 3, smell (nose ) 4. seeing (eyes ). 5. touch (Body ), 6, feelings(heart ), under "causality" cause & effect . The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called " SANKARA " energy, in Pali canon, through Human 6 aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the Human "Heart Organ " as electrical waves signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy", which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "subconscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy, called "kamma/karma = consciousness + phenomenon in Buddhism.Theravada Buddhism in sri Lanka thripitaka

Thank you for this enlightened video. It felt like gentle rain on a summer´s day. Take a look at the history of Religions : I am not aware of any devastating wars between countries that practice the Buddhist faith, apart from Japan in WWII, and contrast it with the countless wars between Christian countries in Europe, and in the Middle East between adherents to the Islamic faith and Judaism. The myth of heaven and hell is a brilliant way of the Abrahamic religions to enslave the mind of mankind, and gives the Churches, Synagogues and Mosques tremendous power and control over their adherents. Then the concept of an immortal soul is the true confounder. Who on earth thought this one up, and where does it reside? What is the proof of its existence? Yet for millennia belief in a human soul has been central to what we think who we are.

[@giftedsun]

Seneca puts it well.....The Common man believes religion is true. The rich man believes it is false. The politician believes it is handy. All you know is your own mind and are limited by whatever perspectives it is stuck in, whether it is true or provable or not. So, heaven and hell are creations of the mind, limited by your own ability to transcend a fixed perspective on the unfolding of life in the moment, and the meanings you attach to it. Holding onto a dogma is only that, an inability to be open to the constantly new flowing aspects of existance. You can suffer the hell of your imagination and attachments it's created, the heaven of having none of these, or both at the same time, which is the oscillation most people struggle between. These create a hell in your mind, a suffering. Heaven is the reward for a practice that frees you from the attachment to those ideas. That is the bliss, the gift, the livliness, that has always been there for you to experience, no matter what is happening outside of you. As the song says, free your mind, and the rest will follow. When Dorothy wants to go home in the Wizard of Oz, Glinda tells her, your home is within you. You were there all the time. Did you make it a shambles with your thoughts and beliefs or did experience a beautiful kingdom within? That is entirely up to you. And no facts have yet to unmake this.

[@thomasellis8586]

Thank you for this lucid explanation. The only addendum I might suggest is this: Enlightenment is not a destination, but an ongoing process. I don't think anyone actually "achieves" Enlightenment, and I do not trust any "guru" who claims that he has done so. Rather, it is best seen as an asymptotic goal--one for which we strive continuously, knowing full well that full and permanent enlightenment is beyond our grasp. Rather, some of the most powerful Buddhist teachings (e.g. the Lojong teachings from the Tibetan tradition) suggest that our inevitable lapses into UNENLIGHTENED behavior--whether it is flashes of anger, greed, lust, cowardice, or despondency--can themselves become our teachers, once we grow accustomed to seeing them that way. If nothing else, such inevitable lapses into unskillful behavior and attitudes, once recognized, keep us honest and humble, as we keep on keepin' on...

[@iyakuptsemanon6567]

achieves or not is not point. If you can happy now by your self.

Well said; love the asymptote analogy. Whether we reach total purity is not important, and can serve as a distraction and constant worry. If we are improving on the journey through eliminating suffering, and helping others do the same, we are experiencing the sense of nirvana.

In the Pali suttas, the Buddha again and again describes the heavens and hells. He gives detailed descriptions of the torments suffered by beings in the hells, the pleasures of the heavens, and even the varying life spans in the sensual-realm heavens, the fine-material heavens, and immaterial heavens. And in many suttas, He explains what kinds of karma lead to one or the other, and again and again explains that not believing in heaven/hell is wrong view (micchaa dit.t.hi), unwholesome karma of the mind. Western 'Buddhists' in their desire to reject everything and anything resembling the Christian/Islamic teachings then dismiss these many suttas as corruption of the Buddha's Teachings, and then conjure up an alternative, homemade 'Buddhism', founded on disbelief and ignorance.

The Buddha talks about attachments or clinging to things leading to suffering, or rather inconsistency, instability; he is describing the changing nature of the world. Experience your desires, but do not be attached to them. Do not yearn for them when they are gone, do not try to keep them when you experience them.

[@freemagicfun]

There is desire, and then there is desire... I was a single dad, and I desired to provide a roof over my kids' heads and food on the table - so I worked. I did not work for the love of money, the accumulation of wealth or power. That level of desire keeps you alive and comfortable. When the kids moved out, I was 48 and could cut back on work, because I needed less money for my care and upkeep. Turns out... I could quit work and retire to Asia. Which was my long term goal, I just made it 15 years earlier than planned. Don't be attached to the result of your work. I try to enjoy what I have, so not to miss it when it is gone. 😎

I don't embrace any religions just believe in God,the creator of the universe,my daughter in-law is Buddhist,once in a while I read the holy book of Buddhism out of curiocity,the teaching touches the real life,easy to digest,I have some friends ,kind of Christian zealots,they say belive in Jesus then your sin pardoned and heaven is awaiting,seems to be easy to go to heaven,Pondering some horrific criminals in my country,they raped,robbed then killed the victims and their children suffering for good without their mothers,the evil then repent and believe in Jesus,pardoned and travel happily to heaven,if it's true,very sad😢

The real God is only one in this world that not belonged to any religion. Buddha is d humane God but u pray it mean direct to real God. Buddha is d BEST because it gives u d full teaching n explanation plus powerful mantra, effectiveness depending on your minds in good or bad.

Excellent explanation!!!

[@NGU_Futures]

It takes awhile to wrap your head around this stuff my realisation is that a religion is like a spiritual country or region with in a spiritual country. We all ultimately move through the Divine whether we like it or not know it or not it does not matter where you are just that you exist.we are all looking for the same thing but because of our unique perception on reality and the divine it makes it not so. Soldier on my friend the end will only be a new beginning

Beautifully said! We are all on a unique journey toward the same truth. 🙏✨

5:00 - The Role of Karma-A Self-Directed Spiritual Journey This topic is incredibly thought-provoking! The teachings on the illusion of heaven and hell really challenge us to reflect on our actions and their consequences. Understanding the role of karma in our lives emphasizes that our choices shape our spiritual journey. It's empowering to realize that we have the ability to direct our own paths.

GOOD AND MEANINGFUL

My friend believes in Christianity and I really does think it hinders his spiritual growth. Most Christians stays at the ego.

Everyone has his own line of thinking that suits his conscious.

[@quetzalito6322]

The Buddha indeeed taught heaven and hell, he called it right view and is first part of noble 8fold path, he Even influenced Jesus Christ teachings, in his trip to India in his Lost bible years in India, Jesus traveled the silk road.

[@thecomment9489]

Jesus most likely seem to have come in contact with yogis and enlightened perfect masters and not Buddhist practitioners because in Jesus' teachings nothing looks like Buddhist teachings but from the teachings of some saintly lineage.

[@mirrorimage5423]

I think that there is no real fundamental difference between the Buddhist view of karma and the Christian or islam view. It is interesting to noto that Buddhism predates Christianity and Islam. The concept of natural cause and effect simply had morphed into the concept of God. God being another word for natural, the way reality is. What is fundamentally different, however, is that freedom from human condition became perceived as threat, and one doesn't have to delve too deep as to why and perceived by whom. The concept of karma is intuitively understood by most sane people. Doing evil will bring good is counterintuitive. The concepts of heaven and hell are inherent in the concept of karma. Reward and punishment are added as incentive and contra incentive to restraint ultimate freedom which became perceived as threat because it goes beyond duality/polarity.

[@MustAfaalik]

@@thecomment9489 Where did Jesus encounter yogis? He would have encountered Buddhism in Alexandria (a place of learning) which had a thriving sea route with India. Until recently Buddha's image were discovered in Egypt, probably brought there by Greek Buddhist who were introduced to Buddhism during the time of Alexander.

[@MustAfaalik]

@@mirrorimage5423 The early esoteric teachings of Jesus resonates with Buddhism, just as it diverted from Judaism. Jesus would have encountered Buddhism in Alexandria from Greek Buddhist. Please look up history of Greek Buddhist.

[@FerozKhan-ss9nn]

Buddha had left no religion or religious rituals to be associated with the Buddha. Karma was what he had always in his mind and nothing else was to be found in his mind except for the Buddha’s teachings which are comprehensive in nature.

[@unitedminds5633]

Very interesting 👌🙏

[@goranandrijasevic2534]

Yes Buddhismis the most peacefu religion. An The Buddha didn't want to talk of a personal God because he knew how easily man's pyche can slip into ideologies and dogmas that hinder ones spiritual development. But he was NOT an atheist. Asked about the existence God he responded (I paraphrase); "If Universal Consciouness did not exist then nothing would exist."

[@bufboston1]

Yes such a peaceful religion. Perhaps you've not heard of the Pacific Theater of WW2. Pacific of course, appropriately enough means peaceful. All with the approval of the Soto Zen heirarchy in Japan. So peaceful.

[@Sammyli99]

Buddy, is the way to go. NOT as a clear philosophy, but as the MINDSET of always questioning, testing, and eventually following the correct path.😊 No need to compare to other systems based on the same stories. Let it go...the whole Kabuki Theatre 😮😂😊

Absolutely wonderful ❤️

[@Bifurcatio]

An area I am at odds with Buddhism, and none other, is that I don't feel any actions in one lifetime translate to a next. I feel the only thing you take with you at death is the 'I Am' experience which is Eternal. When I think of what I leave at death, I try to remember what I had at birth this time around. I didn't know which planet I was on, I didn't know what species of sentient being I was, I didn't know what gender I was, and so forth. For me it is this Eternal 'I Am' identification, and nothing else, that frees me from the cycle of birth and death.

[@Upulvan]

The teaching of Buddhism is to see that there is no eternal force called "I", a soul. "I" is a construct. It is constantly changing. It is because of the view of "I", "mine" that we are reborn again and again, and karma is activated. In seeing Nirvana, the ego is destroyed. Karma is deactivated. The causes for rebirth are not created.

[@Bifurcatio]

@@Upulvan Your teaching is well received Sensei, sincerely. Had I known I was writing for you, I might have used 'mind', or 'consciousness', which I do believe is shared amonst us all in the Cosmos, and that it is eternal. I have noticed along the way that words don't work. If they did we would all live in Nirvana, and we could all be completely understood amonst each other. I find wordless observation and experience of Nature is the purest way to go through life.

[@zaynyeinaung2343]

Very informative. Thank you

[@angjennifer1010]

As a Buddhist, lord Buddah bring us a school of moral education and self responsibility. A real Buddhist follow the teachings of Buddah rather than pure worship but following the path to non-detachment. Until one knows the meaning of samsara, there will be a more peaceful world

[@domingodeanda6113]

That was pretty damn good, thanks.

[@aj7515]

The irony in Buddha's teaching is that reaching enlightenment is also a desire, You don't reach it in an instant, Its reached though days, months maybe even yesrs kf dedication, all to persure a "desire" to reach enlightenment. We can't change or grow, better ourselves without first having a desire or want to change.

When I was in the Air Force in California, there was a guy in the barracks that was a Buddhist. We thought he was a little off but a nice guy. Then I was sent to Japan. Soka Gakkai, nichiren all turned me off but Zen was attractive. So many different sects as Christianity. Posed questions.

[@tiaratiarasam1886]

A way of live w/out divine guidance is not a religion. Hope i grasp ur essence of presentation.

[@priyadarshikanawarathna168]

Fairly correct what you explained through Buddha Dhamma. One correction is there is no such thing called Buddhism like in other isms. It has to be Buddha Dhamma

[@MD-lf3gt]

A Buddhist would never speak of DEBUNKING other religions.

[@akilanatarajan6464]

Buddhism brings the truth of vedhantha of Hinduism in a simple understanding. Moksha is explained as Nirvana.

[@eshanthasamarasekera5007]

In "Theravada" Buddhism in Sri Lanka, all enlightened "Baghavath Buddhas" appear on earth , after eons of life times of purification of the mind, as a fulfilling universal qualification to perfecting qualities of "conscious energies" described in Sri Lankan Buddhist pali canon / texts "marghadi " Buddhas' spoken sound language written Pali Tripitaka" as "paramitha kamma" (perfectible universal deeds). The Baghvath Buddha has described sentience beings existing in 31 realms. All creations in this universe are "energies" with influence of the six ( 6 ) aggregates "elements" 1. sound (ears ), 2. taste ( tongue ), 3, smell (nose ) 4. seeing (eyes ). 5. touch (Body ), 6, feelings(heart ), under "causality" cause & effect . The Buddha has described how universal energy called "kamma" manifests in human form through human faculties of seeing, hearing, smelling, taste, touch & mind (past experiences) called " SANKARA " energy, in Pali canon, through Human 6 aggregates, amalgamating with external world experiences of feelings through the Human "Heart Organ " as electrical waves signals to develop a "seed" to become "conscious energy", which continues to the brain as a "thought" and this continuation of experience is stored in the "subconscious" mind in the human brain called "mano" (pali ) (mind) in Buddhism. This" perception " action is called "thought". Thought becomes a conscious energy, called "kamma/karma = consciousness + phenomenon in Buddhism.Theravada Buddhism in sri Lanka thripitaka

[@fish-108]

no. moksha is "union with ishvara", ishvara being God/ a God. meaning, you will still be under the yoke of, and attachment to, something/ someone. and being attached to/ under the yoke of God/ a God, is pretty much the worst, and will ENSURE you keep being stuck in Samsara. you have been warned.
