Where Do Humans Come From? Buddhism's View on Human Origins

[@karencontestabile6064]

May all sentient beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. 🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛

[@Jarek-07]

Yet all beings in this world suffer. The Gazelle dies a horrific death in the jaws of the lion. Even our human bodies are genetically created to cause us suffering. Our societies and cultures are extremely toxic which leads to stress, anxiety, fear and depression . Climate and weather causes suffering. Life is unending pain, suffering, misery and grief from cradle to grave! .

[@Rockman-qo7zy]

Thus indeed, is that Blessed One: He is the Holy One, fully enlightened, endowed with clear vision and virtuous conduct, sublime, the Knower of the worlds, the incomparable leader of men to be tamed, the teacher of gods and men, enlightened and blessed.

This channel is unbelievably good. It may be the best. The presenter's knowledge is impeccable. How did Buddha achieve this accuracy?'Undoubtely he mastered his mind beyond anyone else. It all makes perfect sense to an ordinary mind and is so logical.

[@Jarek-07]

I have often wondered why humans are more influenced by society and culture than by their religious beliefs? It seems humans would be better off living their lives based on their spiritual beliefs as opposed to the dictates of the materialist society and cultures.

[@Jarek-07]

I'm 57 years old. I have studied many religions. I use to be both Buddhist and Taoist. In my experience on this dismal planet the past 57 years and suffering at the hands of a cruel humanity. I have now come to the conclusion that the Gnostic are correct. Human consciousness is shoddy. .

[@BB-pq3vj]

Buddhism is not a religion. Its a teaching. A way of life. Buddhism walks with all religions in life.

[@nh54guesthouse]

The question should have been 'who, how, why was a human created, made, formed, by A Single Infinite Eternal God'? If this question was asked pursued contemplated and in Time realised, then understood one would find the answer.

[@jaimecolindres7473]

He'd probably rather we say he's A enlightened being... There has been and always will be others. 🙏🙌

I feel like all he might want to be called is brother. Everything else was exonerating him. He knew what he, and we all are at the core, he wouldn't want any degree of separation. I feel anyway

[@saddha1]

In essence there was devolution and than evolution at the same time.

And christos and Buddhism is the middle way….

Every human being has the mark on his body, just look and you will find it here is a clue.🔶🔶

[@ElmerTan-ut4qn]

*The Origin of the Universe and Life* The universe and life appear at the same time. When a mind appears the universe and life appear. Everything in the universe and the origin of our lives thus begin. Without a mind, the universe and life do not exist. When there is a mind, time and space will exist. Time and space are initialized when thoughts begin to vibrate or move. Neither time nor space exist when there is no mind. The existence of movement is called delusion. When self-nature moves, this mind is called Alaya. Alaya can give rise to a myriad of phenomena. This original movement is not that serious because in it there is no attachment nor discrimination. All unfortunate conditions appear when there are attachments and discriminations. A fabulous environment will appear when one has no attachment and discrimination. Pure Land appears when there is no discrimination and attachment. The self-nature, original nature or Buddha nature is only a name. There is no real thing you can touch. Why? It is not a substance. Our Six Senses cannot feel it. Eyes can't see it, you can't feel it, nose can't smell it, tongue can't taste it, ears can't hear it and you can't touch or think of it. However, it does exist. All phenomena are generated by our self-nature. Phenomena appears according to the mind. Self-nature has nothing to show. When will self-nature appear? When the mind appears. So it's called arising in accord with the mind and changes in accord with our consciousness. The phenomena appears when self-nature becomes "mind". Self-nature won't appear if it doesn't become mind. What is the difference between self-nature and the mind? Self-nature has no thought, the mind has thoughts. In the Mahayana Sutra it says, deluded results from arising thoughts. Thoughts arise from the mind. When one has thoughts, that is a mindset. The mind that gives rise to movement. Thoughts are movement or vibration. These thoughts are so subtle that only Bodhisattvas at the 8th level can perceive it. 🙏🙏🙏 Amitabha Buddha

[@Jeevansathish-f1l]

Life is byproduct of atmosphere on earth

[@BuddhismPodcast]

That’s one way to view it from a scientific perspective. In Buddhism, life is seen as arising through dependent origination, where karmic causes and conditions also play a crucial role.

[@Jeevansathish-f1l]

@BuddhismPodcast if you don't mind sir can you explain Karmik I don't understand the word please

[@Nevio918]

Buddha said the same person doesn't get born again and again, rather karmic consequences and desires carry over to next birth. Still most of today's Buddhist take it as if they are going to be reborn (something similar as reincarnation). Why it is so?

[@BuddhismPodcast]

Thank you for raising this point. The Buddha taught that it’s not the same "self" that is reborn, but rather the continuity of karmic causes and conditions. Misunderstandings may arise due to cultural interpretations or confusion between rebirth and reincarnation. The focus is on understanding this process to achieve liberation from the cycle.

[@Nevio918]

@BuddhismPodcast I also think that due to the influence of the concept of reincarnation which was already well established and our believe in us being a person or individual makes us think like that. Whereas through introspection and insights from awareness and meditation help us see that the self is born out of processes and events. Truth is that everything is in a flux. This insight helps us being free from the burden of being a "self" 🙏

[@BB-pq3vj]

Very few reach enlightmen or nirvana. Its simple. Yo do good you get good, you do bad you get bad. If you live the righteous life without passing judgment, without deceiving or with lies and speak nothing but truth and honesty and kindness you can reach nirvana and you won't have to suffer and be reborn or reincarnation. Reincarnation over and over is suffering. Being in this world is suffering. You get it? So I guess when you reach enlightment I guess you become one with the universe or a angel I guess. Just going off from what monks have told us.

[@Nevio918]

@@BB-pq3vj my point is there is no self at the first place to be born again and again. The observer is not different from the observed. So "I" will be living till eternity, "I" will keep reincarnating is an illusion. Not denying that something non physical might last after death, but it's not I" or "me", the individual.

[@BB-pq3vj]

Everyone most likely is reincarnated. Just depends how you lived your past life. Karma is real. Ying and yang. You do good you get good. You do bad you get bad. Those that live the righteous life without passing judgment, deceiving or without lies and speak only but truth with honesty and kindness may reach nirvana or enlightenment. Which means you won't have to suffer and be reincarnated. In Cambodian culture you basically become like an angel and one with the universe. We have famous star beings either monks or priest or even regular people that are chosen by the chosen ones and walk side by side with them because they are righteous. And possess certain powers but they mostly are out to help and teach humankind. It's weird trying to explain but its real.

The most important doctrine from Buddhism? Explain pacifist or non pacifist which is honorable? This choice is where humans go wrong and all the human suffering. Most humans are non pacifist, end of debate.

[@alantran1914]

[@BuddhismPodcast]

Thank you for sharing your perspective. While some might explore extraterrestrial origins, the Buddha focused on understanding the nature of existence and the causes of suffering, rather than speculating about cosmic origins.

[@vesuvandoppelganger]

Humans were created by an unobservable genius.

[@alexjames6747]

Really?

[@BuddhismPodcast]

The Buddha did not focus on creation myths. Instead, he emphasized understanding the causes of suffering and finding liberation through ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom.

[@wickhunter7733]

@vesuvandoppelganger That's the funniest thing I've heard so far this year. Thank you for the laughter.

[@poncepg4991]

This is a great knowledge but the pronunciation of the words and terms should be properly pronounced in the original language, it would be much easier to understand.

[@BuddhismPodcast]

Thank you for your feedback. Proper pronunciation does make a big difference in understanding and respecting the original teachings.

[@JayBowen]

@@BuddhismPodcast The pronunciations weren't TOO bad, but the main advice I will give is that the C in Pali and Sanskrit is pronounced like the CH in English. So, "paticca" should be pronounced "pa-tich-cha" (not "pa-tik-ka"), "anicca" as "a-nich-cha" (not "a-nik-ka"), "cetana" as "che-ta-na" (not "se-ta-na"), etc.

[@Gary-zq3pz]

Basic boiler plate Bhuddist presentation, lays out the basics and not much else. Not a bad effort.

[@BuddhismPodcast]

In Buddhism, everything, including mind and karma, arises interdependently. There’s no permanent soul or being beyond this. The idea of a god separate from all is not part of Buddhist teachings, which focus on understanding and liberation.

[@REAVIVAR]

I think (no proof) that time does not exist. It is a concept with no substance. Never seen it, or experienced it in any other way, shape or form. Not in escense, not as cause, nor effect. Yet I wear a watch, just to conform inside the mad house.

Budha was indeed a God Man❤❤❤

[@alankuntz6494]

The Buddha is not considered a god but a fully enlightened being who discovered and shared the path to liberation through his wisdom and compassion. His teachings inspire many to realize their potential.

[@georgeloh8257]

Buddha was a enlightened being. he acted as a teacher teaching the Dharma. According to Buddha that the Dharma law & system ( The universal truth; one of the universal truths is Karmic laws ) is above all sentient beings ( it includes all deities, aliens, godlike or satanlike, animals, insects and etc. )

[@THeSID432hz]

anyone else think this is total bs?

[@BuddhismPodcast]

I appreciate your honesty. The Buddha encouraged inquiry and personal reflection. It’s okay to question or disagree; everyone’s journey to understanding is unique.

[@ianbynoe6515]

I second 😂

[@THeSID432hz]

@@BuddhismPodcast oops sry i didnt mean to be personal at all actually well done on the video... i am just addressing the beliefs in general and how confusing things really are considering that every god being incarnation seems to say something different about human origins. in my opinion it is more likely, and it is my observation as well, that we are trapped in a simulated hell for the mind with no real possibility of escape. and that religions and spirituality was created to give us hope and behavior that is sustainable in order to maintain the simulation indefinitely. i have not seen anyone attain liberation, i only see "divine" incarnations that were basically just born as non-player characters

[@peternguyen9037]

Very strange explanation the origin of Humans from Buddha if it was actually his knowledge's. To explain the origine of A, Buddha introduced x,y, z ... without telling where they come from! What or who started the physical transition process (9.29s), what Karmic quantity one processed at the beginning to help with the development. Sorry if my comment spoils your hard work! Just be humble and accept the existence of the divine God! Human knowledge is very limited!

[@BuddhismPodcast]

Thank you for sharing your perspective. The Buddha focused on explaining phenomena through dependent origination rather than ultimate origins, as he deemed the latter speculative and unhelpful for ending suffering. He taught that understanding the present conditions and cultivating wisdom leads to liberation, regardless of differing beliefs about divine creation.

[@SSTan-cz7eo]

" Very strange explanation the origin of Humans from Buddha if it was actually his knowledge's. " Buddha is also known as " Samma-SamBuddha " , it means he DISCOVER the origin of EVERYTHING by himself as in self-taught. He also said he only discovered the truth of the nature which had been in existence since the infinity of time. Also he did not CREATE anything , just discover the truth.

[@Hu3yN9]

You wouldn't find it strange if you understand about evolution. For billions of years, all beings (including us the Human) in the universe went through physical transformation due to endless cycles of expansion and contraction. According to Buddha, beings were described as radiant, mind-made and self luminous. This mirrors the explanation based on modern scientific theories about human existence and evolution, how we transform from a single cell in the deep sea, we went through cycles of twist and turn, we faced and survived extinctions and to become the current big brain 2-legged mammal. This cycles doesn't stop here. It will continue to evolves through causes and effect (Karma) as explained in Chapter 1: The Universe According to Buddhism (from 2:24 to 25:11).

[@thinkerslibrary4651]

Including Buddha and the enlightened masters, the prophets, etc. they don't know anything about the mystery of our awesome cosmos.

Buddhism doesn't explicitly say yes or no, but its teachings about countless worlds and compassion for all beings suggest the possibility is open. The important thing is how we treat all forms of life, whether they're from Earth or elsewhere.

[@georgeloh8257]
