They stopped short of the craziest part of the story: "After years of adhering to the strict diet and nearing starvation, a monk was then buried alive in an underground chamber. Breathing through a bamboo tube, the monk sat in a lotus position and chanted sutra in the darkness. Each day he rang a bell inside the tomb to signal that he remained alive. When the peals finally ended, the air tube was removed and the tomb."

We lost my step-grandfather (on my mothers side), 42yrs ago when I was 12. All I can really remember about him was, he was real quiet and he loved to lean on stuff. He'd lean on stuff, like other people's cars, doorways, trees ect. He especially loved going out on his deck for hours, leaning on the railing and staring out across the ocean. Trouble was, he and my gramma lived in the middle of the woods, so of course there was no ocean. {0.o} Looking back, I remember he always kept a single wooden-crutch behind his back seat. I thought it was there as self-defense weapon or so he could park in the Handicapped spots. I realize now it was for just-in-case he found himself in the middle of an empty field with nothin' to lean on. {0.o}

[@ausgepicht]

I am a Ch'an Buddhist, from the same denomination of Buddhism as Liuquan. Just want to clear up two things: 1) Liuquan was not a Buddha, but a Buddhist monk and 2) the emaciated statues are NOT of the Buddha, but of Siddhārtha BEFORE he became the Buddha. He, like many mystics in his time, tried the path of aestheticism. He thought that depriving oneself of virtually everything was a path to enlightenment. He almost drowned one day while bathing as he was so weak. A woman cowherder saw him and gave him nourishment with one of her cow's milk. At that moment he realized that aestheticism was extreme and radical and was NOT the right path to enlightenment. He was still NOT a Buddha at this point and not enlightened. Having said that, he was still not doing what Liuquan and other monks were doing. Siddhārtha was starving himself, the Ch'an monks were radicals who DID eat, just a limited diet. Their diet made up about 10 minutes of their day (monks eat at lunch time and that's it) and does not reflect their beliefs and practice (which was not radical) for the other 23 hours and 50 minutes of their day. Also, it is so exceedingly rare that monks tried this diet that in Japan where it was more "common" there are only 24 ever known to try it. Chinese monks DID NOT use this diet so they would die, they wanted to live as long as they could. It was NOT a "kamikaze" diet. As for his guest saying "He did something the Buddha couldn't." like Joe he knows next to nothing about Buddhism or the Buddha so shouldn't speak on it. The inverse is true: the Buddha did many things that Liuquan couldn't do including having a far more extreme diet of complete starvation. While we might think Liuquan's diet was extreme, in comparison to Siddhārtha's starvation diet, it was tame. Lastly, FWIW the world's oldest self-mummified body is that of Huineng (638-713), the Sixth Patriarch of Ch'an. You can Google image search pictures of him and his story.

TO JOE OR JAIME: Joe Rogan should have a Tibetan Buddhist monk on the podcast sometime. I highly recommend you guys reach out to people like Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche or Alan Wallace to learn more about Buddhism, its beginnings, its transmutations across the world, what it is, what it is about, what stories of history do they have from the Pali Canon to the mystical supernatural stuff that can be found in Buddhism, Buddhism in India, Buddhism in Tibet, Buddhism throughout the world, Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Buddhist Psychology, Ontology, Epistemology, and Philosophy, etc. It's great to hear you talk about Buddhism, but, and to no offense, there are several main pieces of ignorance / misconceptions that need to be cleared up about it so that you as well as all of us can see the whole picture better. Buddhism really is quite vast, but a good starting point is to learn the Pali Canon as that is the life story of Prince Siddhartha Gautama and of how he became the Buddha, and to then expand beyond that using logic and reasoning and analytical thinking.

@@Iron-Bridge Tummo is part of secret tantra so It will be tough finding someone who can elaborate without breaking vows, and breaking vows is out of the question for Vajrayana practitioners.

There is a Tibetan temple right on 45th St in Austin so it would not be that difficult to get a lama to talk. There are also several (20 to 30) Buddhist temples/ monasteries in Austin if a comparison is needed. In fact, there is a vihara on Honeycomb Dr. that is home of a western born monk so there would be no accent. UT also is a great source of Buddhist experts

@6:00 The story of Sujata, the young girl who gave the emaciated Gautama a bowl of rice-milk porridge, is an interesting part of the Buddha life story, as we can imagine the energy it gave Gautama, after starving himself for so long, to sit through the following night to see the Morning Star and realize full enlightenment. Sujata is often depicted on the base of many Buddha statues holding the bowl in upraised arms. It really does sound like an authentic historical occurence, and it is no accident that Sujata's offering of food, and Gautama's breaking his vow to accept the food, is what directly led to the founding of one of the world's great religions.

[@aylaha.5216]

Or even the Japanese Hydrologist Masaru Emoto and how his studies indicated to the effect spoken word had directly on water. There was a reason Prophet Muhammad and Jesus would blow words over water. Peace and blessings be on them both. Or for example no Muslim on the plant ever draws a sip of any drink without saying the words “In the name of Allah” (translation : God) before drinking. There is also an experiment by a woman who’s name I can’t remember where she did a self experiment called “The apple experiment” where she talked to two halves of an apple which were separately but similarly placed in jars. To one she said good kind words to. The other horrible mean words. In 2 weeks the one with the bad words had rottened naturally and the other surprisingly was in significantly better shape. (As far as an apple can be). It is believed it is the water content in the apple that responded to what was said as apples are 90 percent water. Human beings are made up largely of water. Take the effect of music and the Quran recitation on the human being as an example. One creates anxiety and the other removes the anxiety. I have always known the words of the Quran are healing however I wonder… is it the water in us that responds to them? Having an epiphany moment here don’t mind me. Not everything that sounds like pseudo science is wacko jacko. That’s coming from someone who has seen first hand the effects of this and if I were to anecdotally narrate it. You’d never believe me.

The starved Buddha depicts the historical Buddhas joirney to enlightenment. He tried methods that were common in india until he realised there was no merit in extremes like that or in pleasure seeking, so this is why he started his own philosophy of the middle way.

[@kunchoktashii]

Yep

[@piyushsingh4869]

A bit wrong i found merit but as you said they were extreme hence the middle path.

Else it would be called the only path!

“Buddha” is a title meaning enlightened being. The Buddha (Gautama) was around roughly 2500 years ago. According to the Buddha, there have been countless Buddhas before him & countless Buddhas will come after him. After the austere practices, the Buddha realized that was not the path to nibbana (transcending realms of mind and matter and attainment of ultimate peace and happiness) which is something to be experienced not intellectualized. After his enlightenment, The Buddha taught taking the middle path... and simple practice of sila (morality), samadhi (concentration), panna (wisdom). since his passing, many Buddhist sects have emerged (Theravada, Mahayana, Tibetan, Zen etc) It is best learn the Buddha’s teachings & practice meditation as well as keep the code of morality (5 or 8 precepts for lay people). Not everyone is ready for it but for those who stay & develop on the path of purification, the merits are immense.

[@dhammadina8654]

@@LWLProductions I’m certainly not enlightened but my understanding is that enlightened beings transcend the realms of mind and matter and have a direct experience of nibbana which cannot be explained using words or human “intellect”.

I’ve dwelled on this quote from Lupe Fiasco for the end of his song Mural “Defeat Samsara, achieve Nirvana and Brilliance” Could you share some insight?

[@dhammadina8654]

@@soma1990 I’m not familiar with the quote but Samsara consists of all realms of mind & matter. In Buddhist cosmology, there are many realms of existence including human realm, animal realm, ghostly realms, hellish realms, heavenly realms some which have form (matter) & mind and some purely mind (formless)... the one thing all the realms have in common is impermanence & inherent suffering that comes as a result...nibbana is a state beyond mind and matter. It’s the end of suffering. When a being attains nibbana, rebirth from one realm to another no longer takes place. However, this is not something one can wish or pray for... it’s attained through the practice of sila, samadhi, panna (Pali words). If you’re interested to learn more I can look for some books... or some links that may be helpful in better understanding the basic teachings of the Buddha.

[@soma1990]

@@dhammadina8654 I appreciate this I will screenshot! What’s crazy about the “realms” one time when I was smoking 🌳 with my guys.. I saw a glimpse of a view it was a POV of a person in a room sitting in a chair had to be a throne cause it was raised up I remembered staircase.. but the oddest thing that stood out was a person that seemed sentient but was cloaked in flames… Now I’m realizing these could very well be the makeup of other beings. I couldn’t explain it any better. I fast but it’s not for religious reasons.

[@dhammadina8654]

@@soma1990 haha...the mind can play a lot of tricks... via dreams, in meditation and when taking anything that alters the state of mind... key is not to get distracted and sidetracked (easier said than done) Many people fast for health reasons. Buddhist monks/nuns eat one or two meals a day (unless medically required to eat more) they usually don’t eat anything after 12 or 1pm (can’t remember specifics of that) Some meditation retreats follow the same timeline and protocol... A good place to start learning about Buddha’s teachings is the Four Noble Truths and eightfold path. Some of teachers that have resonated with me over the years are Ajahn Chah and many of his students including Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Sona and Ajahn Achalo. Goenka meditation centers are a good place to start learning meditation (all based on donation) Bikkhu Bodhi is a great scholar and teacher of the sutras (Theravada tradition) Best wishes

Actually watching this again.. I still am like so taken back by this video. Just because I had this crazy dream -JRE!! The pre-Buddha in my dream sat in like a fireplace inside a mountain- it had a Tibetan vibe a big gust of wind flew past the Buddha and it was like the being was galvanized with gold flecks. The reason this being did it was to hold space and it’s presence that would keep the area around safe and like ground the peaceful energy. Idk it might sound extra but the dream was so profound that I have to share

[@Hello-nq1gn]

Dang Joe i would love to spend on whole day with you just listen to what u talk about and do !

[@bbdawn9253]

I just had a dream about a Buddha( it was more like the bhodisattva) like a sidhartha I’m butchering the spelling and we were under ground in a chamber with like a fire place- the being sat on the mantle and began to like galvanize into a gold statue.. This dream was intense and super beautiful. Like it was a statement of devotion and that their presence be a force of like stable peace. So this was a cool video! Hahaha ummmm thank you!

[@johnlocke9383]
