Despite having been a Buddhist, but he completely missed the core of Buddhism. Well, I supposed he had found faith in Islam now and if that suit him well, so be it.
Could you please at least explain what was the core of buddhism that he missed?
@@abehaouaria The core is just simple. Buddhism is a way of life. That's why Buddha himself said " Don't just believe what I say, search your self is that true or not ". There is always a logic behind every Buddha teaching. So it's not fair to look at a teaching without deep researching what actually it means.
😆, he is agnostic, he probably atheist now.
Buddhism is just a mixture of old unsubstantiated beliefs, Buddha's words and whatever people put to those books, because nobody knows what buddha was originaly saying, all most authoritative books were written long after buddha died. And how do you know buddha is telling the truth? He is not a prophet
@@Tatar_Piano Sutra is a teaching from Buddha himself.All tantra is from buddhist scholar after Buddha left this world.
Little knowledge is dangerous
This is the best and simplest comment for this video. And it suddenly made me more clear on how little knowledge is so dangerous. But it's ok, we can only stay positive, else is nature.
He is right about nirvana being annihilation. But again, back to your comment.
@Ishaq Vlogger I suggest you learn English before recommending people read anything you grammar is atrocious.
Right
I accept you as the example of this.
This man misunderstood buddhism philosophy. Buddhism is the middle way. Neither good or evil. Neither self or non-self. It’s not about seeing life being negative or positive it about being realistic about reality and seeing things as they are. Buddhism doesn’t deny that there is joy and happiness in life, but we recognise the suffering and how to overcome it, so we can lead to a peaceful life.
He didn’t misunderstand. His point is that “middle way” itself is self-centered.
Humza S read before comment please. He wrote neither self or non-self which means selflessness. You and the white dude in video are both will never get Buddhism.
Bò Đỏ Sao Vàng I read it right the first time, I think you misunderstood my point...
“neither self or non-self” _itself_ is self-centered
Humza S still don’t get it, never mind like I said you will never get Buddhism. Keep believe in your unicorn god if it’s comfort you.
Bò Đỏ Sao Vàng well you literally haven’t explained your point...
3 questions for a Buddhist:
How did the world begin?
What is the purpose of this world?
What happens after death?
2:25 i accept their is joy but are those joy permanent??
Once you're experience joy you have to experience the sorrow
Joy will take you to sorrow
But Buddhism teaches you to leave this joy and to achieve peace
And that peace is the real joy this Peace will never let you sad this Peace is permanent.
So want you want a temporary joy or the permanent Peace
Choice is yours😇
In Islam, after one obeys and worships Allah for just 1 lifetime, they would get allowed into eternal paradise as a reward for what they used to do.
Thanks Buddha , I’m proud to be Buddhist .
We want Parmanent peace that's islam teaches us!
Buddha said that to avoid suffering, achieve peace and every Buddhist should achieve peace. And that peace is Islam, which Buddha ordered to achieve
@@islamisthetruth1138 Go to afghanistan you'll see the peace that islam provides
The Buddha never once said life is suffering. He said birth, aging, sickness, and death are suffering.

Bhai life aur kya hai

@julian marx life is full of suffering not a suffering itself.....but anyways I get ur point
@@zak35189 I think the first noble truth is "there is suffering". "There is suffering" does not mean "life is suffering".

Buddha was a great teacher but he was looking for god
“The difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something,” Richard Feynman
I am born of a Muslim father and a Thai Buddhist vegetarian mom! We are a interfaith family. My first sister and me we’re Buddhist, my other two sisters are Muslim. We are fine!! We are all now studying Islam as when our father passed away, we did a proper Muslim funeral. God touches people in different ways, just do good!! There are lot of similarities of peace and love between these two religion, however Buddhism isn’t a religion by right, just the way of life. I love being Buddhist and UNITARIAN!
Yup what problem in just doing good and leaving rest to god
Buddhism is not a way of life. The Buddha does not explain about his journey to enlightenment as something pleasant and therefore the path to enlightenment is not to be taken up as a form of indulgence (such as a way of life).
Also one cannot be both Buddhist and Unitarian. This is because one takes Refuge to enter Buddhism. Taking refuge in anything outside of the 3 Jewels means you break the Refuge Vow and hence not Buddhist. If you read the Suttas the view of a creator God comes under Wrong View and is an impediment to enlightenment.
Sure he never known enough about buddha dhamma
He was scared of Buddha. Buddha's teaching are so straightforward and blunt that his naive mind must have been threatened. One has to be very open minded to learn teachings of Buddha.
Abhramic religion are sin on earth.. whether islam or Christian
Buddhism is the nature, its not a belief or religion.
No one should be converted to a religion to have an insight about the naturality, it can be self understood with the aid of own body.
Most religions teach their doctrines and how to understand reality. Buddhism teaches the reality beyond our misunderstanding.
Answer is simple... He doesn't know the Buddhism. His describing proved he is in the whole misunderstanding
Nah he is just seeing Buddhism through Islamic lens
I’m also a Buddhist. It’s his choice. If he like he can move to Islam. As our Buddha preached, don’t think the same think every time.
@@bulu9214 you got him
I did Vipassana and I know how the suffering we are into his description is full of mess but in the same time he describes something correct about Buddhism because it is true that Buddhism ignore the existing of God but the same time they are really focusing about how to dissolve the ego which is unbelievable and so cool to achieve Iaai was able to reach somehow the Nirvana for a few seconds and a few minutes or maybe just see through the Nirvana no and then I did so many vipassana retreat which takes me each 110 days in the center I do believe that this guy did not do any of these also I do believe that’s we should look into religion for a few minutes because maybe there are some knollwge we need just like we sitting and meditating 🧘♀️

That's the beauty ......you can never follow fake religion for so long finally you will find the truth
This man was never a buddhist. Thank you for solidifying my faith.
You're right
I was a Buddhist
I guess he thinks Dukha is only suffering.
He missed the point that Sukha( pleasure) and Dukha( pain) comes about when the Self identifies with both.
Buddhism is about Balance of the middle path and not to deny both pleasure and pain but to go beyond these polar opposites and be handle both alike as in what the Bhagavad Gita too says to handle polar opposites with equal mindedness.
That is Nirvana where one's ego ceases to be in the polar opposites of the world.
At the same time he forgets the Quran itself clearly states the same about the world being a transient playzone and we get dragged down by ourlives and attachment.
Quran Surah 29:64
This worldly life is nothing but an amusement and play and the Last abode is indeed the Eternal life if they know.
Quran Surah 63:9
O you who believe, your riches and your children must not divert you from the remembrance of God. And those who do that are the losers.
So honestly he has missed the point even in Islam.
Anyway, lets wish him well to gain knowledge.
Quran Surah 20:114
and say " My Lord, increase me in knowledge"
So I hope no one here gets the wrong idea of Islam because of him.
Islam is very much the Middle Path too.
Quran Surah 16:9 Quran
And upon God is the direction of the right(moderate/straight) way and among various paths are those deviating.
And if He willed, He could have guided you all.
The above verse talks about free will in the sense, its we who choose to follow the path or deviate from it.
I hope these are beneficial to explain that Islam is about peace and mindfulness.
As the saying goes that one who takes his ego as his god is clearly not in the straight path.
Quran Surah 25:43
Have you seen O' Prophet, the one who has taken his own desires/ego as their god? Will you then be a guardian over him?"
There's no faith in Buddhism. Only knowledge.
Buddhism is just a mixture of old unsubstantiated beliefs, Buddha's words and whatever people put to those books, because nobody knows what buddha was originaly saying, all most authoritative books were written long after buddha died
I spent 5 years as a Buddhist monk. This man has little understanding of Buddhism, but that is okay. Like him I also came to Islam.

Actually you don't have understood the Buddhism
Your talk about suffering but do not talk about eight fold path(path of happiness)
Sarang Adakane it’s a 4 minute video...
He does not know the meaning of sorrow
I don't think he actually new anything about the concept of suffering ( dukha) also .
He is just an ignorant person new nothing about Buddhism.
Good that he has changed to Muslim . As a true Buddhist myself can’t see someone of such such such good following Buddhism .
Sorry, you've misunderstood Buddha's teachings. You've misunderstood everything.
Right
who cares, as long as he lives happily in his faith I'm all for it.
Can a muslim ever understand any other religions at all correctly?😂😂😂
@@bulu9214 yeah
Actually i am not surprised that BuddhaDhamma is always not totally understood by human beings.For example,what Buddha said about Life is suffering .No doubt that life is a mixture of rich and poor,happiness and sad,having and lacking,jhandsome and ugly,long life and short life etc but every conditioned thing undergoing same characteristics,that whatever born,will gets matured,turns old,gets sick and eventually passes away.The impermenance is beyond our control and has affects each individual for uncountable period of time.Yet,because of ignorance,we feel that since life is once ,its ok.
This clearly tells us that he has achived nothing. He truly is on the path of God he would not never answer that question
He would have defenitly talked beauty about Islam rather than bashing Buddhism
The best way to find a person on the right path, is to asking him about religions other than his own
Islam answers the Purpose of Life, your Purpose is just to die - our Purpose is to submit ourselves to the One who created us by doing Good Deeds
@@LeviAckerman-kv2pd purpose of life is to gain wisdom, act righteous not criticising others
True worshipper is not gossipping aroud
Buddha never said you must do it
If you want to do it just do it
If you don't want to do it don't do it
God cannot comfort you
Allah expects from mankind, that we use all opportunities to practice religion. Every individual has his own limits. If you want or not is not the most important factor, because if you love your God, so you love his book and his rules. If you don't want to go His way, so this is a problem, but not a scale
@@lightman2258 Problem is he doesn't exist. Mankind is the closest thing to Gods that we know for a fact exist. Islam can do nothing but stifle our potential.
If there is god they can prove it. U guys pray 5 times per day. Request ur god to show his power by doing stng different. we will all come muslim. Even there is god he cant do anything with out blessing.
@@eramrobin6019 And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ.

@ShamSana And everything goes to shit when the conquests stop for Islam. Open a history book and tell me I'm wrong. Islam is like a fire. It will always burn itself out when it runs out of fuel and do a lot of damage in the process.
I was muslim but now i am following path of buddha i do meditation daily and i feel very calm and peaceful ❤🙏🏻
Joy that you are fond is temporary, its called impermanent in buddhist.Our goal in life from buddhist perspective is to gain nirvana in this life, all momentary joy is followed by sorrow.
that is the main point he failed to grasp thinking momentary joy is permanent and and losing such eventually lead to the default unsatisfactory status of existence ... i think he chose the right path that suits his capacity to understand reality ....all the best for him

@UCnqhvdA5Hv-PyZko3uqXxfw
Can you tell me in which way he is wrong, he goes in line with the anatta philosophy of Buddhism
The Buddha never once said life is suffering. He said birth, aging, sickness, and death are suffering. In fact he talks about sukkha (joy) in life all the time as well. His first point was completely moot. and nirvana doesnt mean annihilate, it means blow out as in blow out a candle.
Also. anatta is about letting go of the self. not annihilating it.

Suffering not as in painful, but as impermanent. Meaning that what you do, no matter what it is, never remain forever and is subject to loss. This feeling that something good can't exist forever also means that nothing bad can last forever. But good and bad are also attachments to certain outcomes. The concept of suffering is that there is nothing permanent. As such we are trapped in Samsara (suffering) which is inherently temporary and ever changing. When I have a new car and then I wreck it, I suffer. Yes I may be injured, but I suffer because my car was destroyed perhaps. A great day with friends and family comes to an end at some point. The experience you had may have been great, yes, but not undying, everlasting. It ended. And with the drop in experience, a feeling of discontent and weariness can wash over us, and then we get depressed, thinking of the past and how great it was, perhaps. The cause of that suffering is due to attachment, and the idea of something remaining permanent. Our expectation and illusion that it could ever be permanent, when attached, leads to our sadness and discontent. Buddhist just choose to see reality as it is, rather than the impermanent understanding the senses provide.
Chaz Very well said! Helps others to understand the true concept of Buddhism clearly :D
So what is Nirvana ? I seen this guy and a few Christiand say it to not excist anymore.That a Buddhist ultimate goal is death.I don't believe them because what would doing good are morals have to do with ultimate death
@@jasonjammin8697 ha ha ha.ultimate death mean we never born agai.what a great task but it is too much for normal human.everything is suffering in this sansara,everything is impermanance.this life is just a station of this life.i don't like to walk this sansara anymore.
@@jasonjammin8697 buddhism also teaches that anyone can born in heaven of they do good karma.but born in heaven also impermanance,after our collected good karma over we again come to this earth,so it's also a part of this sansara cycle.

Seeing this comment section really gives me so much positivity about buddhist people cuz this man has no knowledge of buddhism as we all can see. But i don't find a single person abusing him or saying bad things infact many people are respecting his decision. Thats so heartwarming ❤️
Love from a Hindu
Because he is a Muslim if in his there was a hindu than the situation will be different
@@lovejames-fu9tr A Hindu will never talk about such bullshit. As the core teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism are identical the way is different.
I highly respected Islam even though I am a non Muslim person so far. This man has not understood Buddhism correctly. Life is suffering. Yes, there is happiness in our lives. But in the end of our happiness, there is sadness.
For example, If you buy a puppy and you are so happy, but one day your puppy will have to die and depart from you, then you'll be sad.
Buying a puppy is our desire, and this desire make us happy,but it has sadness in the end.
Why do u respect stupid cult like islam
He misunderstood the fundamentals of Buddhism.
Don't tarnish our vision. Monotheism is a myth. Who is Allah? Where he is. Have you seen It is a myth. Religion is a man-made thing. But Buddhism is a great philosophy beyond religion.☸️☸️☸️☸️🙏

@Furkan Furkan Fine. I respect your opinion.I didn't want to argue with you. Because I'm a Buddhist. Wisdom and piety are our main things.

@Rizeli Caner In Buddhist philosophy, information about the gods are mentioned. But we do not worship Gods. The gods are just a part of the world that is believed to live. I personally do not believe in Gods.
May Allah give you peace, happiness, wealth & love eternally!
This man had never read any books of Buddhism and life is suffering that's true life is suffering from the day you were born from your mother womb.
The joy or hapiness that you experience in this world is changeing suffering, when we experience change it is a temporary reduction of our previous suffering, stay with something long enough it will bring you suffering.
The suffering you get is a test, see, we muslims believe that this world is a temporary place, we will get tested by god. To see the deeds we have, we are made by god. The eyes you have, the perfection it contains, no one can make it, except god. So we believe in him and we believe in the afterlife. Because the evil will get from other people, those people aren't going to get away with it. God sees everything and in this life we can get forgiven or we get punished before we enter our graves. When we get into our graves and we still didnt turn back to god in forgiveness, it will be too late. Every non-believer will go to hell, because they were made to worship god alone and they don't give god his rights, out of arrogance/stubborness.
@@ilovesunny8887 "Sufferring is a test" from an almighty merciful god. Tell that to little kids who are being raped or kids who are just being born to suffer with birth defects and genetic disease and to be torn from their mothers arm.

jigme dendup totally 🤣
So, what's the teaching of Buddhism actually?
Who created the world?
How's life begin?
How is the development of human embryo in Buddha's scripture?
What is the meaning of life in according to Buddhism?
No hate, iam just curious, i Google it but i don't understand it well,
So can you explain?
@@Huda-qx8zk no reply
Jigme to which religion he jumped after converting to Islam? He studied and compared both and he found Islam is more logical.
@@Huda-qx8zk There are three schools of thought regarding the origin of the world. The first school of thought claims that this world came into existence by nature and that nature is not an intelligent force. However, nature works no its own accord and goes on changing.
The second school of thought says that the world was created by an almighty God who is responsible for everything.
The third school of thought says that the beginning of this world and of life is inconceivable since they have neither beginning nor end. Buddhism is in accordance with this third school of thought. Bertrand Russell supports this school of thought by saying, 'There is no reason to suppose that the world had a beginning at all. The idea that things must have a beginning is really due to the poverty of our thoughts.'
Modern science says that some millions of years ago, the newly cooled earth was lifeless and that life originated in the ocean. Buddhism never claimed that the world, sun, moon, stars, wind, water, days and nights were created by a powerful god or by a Buddha. Buddhists believe that the world was not created once upon a time, but that the world has been created millions of times every second and will continue to do so by itself and will break away by itself. According to Buddhism, world systems always appear and disappear in the universe.
H.G. Wells, in A Short History of the World, says 'It is universally recognized that the universe in which we live, has to all appearance, existed for an enormous period of time and possibly for endless time. But that the universe in which we live, has existed only for six or seven thousand years may be regarded as an altogether exploded idea. No life seems to have happened suddenly upon earth.'
The efforts made by many religions to explain the beginning and the end of the universe are indeed ill-conceived. The position of religions which propound the view that the universe was created by god in an exactly fixed year, has become a difficult one to maintain in the light of modern and scientific knowledge.
Today scientists, historians, astronomers, biologists, botanists, anthropologists and great thinkers have all contributed vast new knowledge about the origin of the world. This latest discovery and knowledge is not at all contradictory to the Teachings of the Buddha. Bertrand Russell again says that he respects the Buddha for not making false statements like others who committed themselves regarding the origin of the world.
The speculative explanations of the origin of the universe that are presented by various religions are not acceptable to the modern scientists and intellectuals. Even the commentaries of the Buddhist Scriptures, written by certain Buddhist writers, cannot be challenged by scientific thinking in regard to this question. The Buddha did not waste His time on this issue. The reason for His silence was that this issue has no religious value for gaining spiritual wisdom. The explanation of the origin of the universe is not the concern of religion. Such theorizing is not necessary for living a righteous way of life and for shaping our future life. However, if one insists on studying this subject, then one must investigate the sciences, astronomy, geology, biology and anthropology. These sciences can offer more reliable and tested information on this subject than can be supplied by any religion. The purpose of a religion is to cultivate the life here in this world and hereafter until liberation is gained.
In the eyes of the Buddha, the world is nothing but Samsara -- the cycle of repeated births and deaths. To Him, the beginning of the world and the end of the world is within this Samsara. Since elements and energies are relative and inter-dependent, it is meaningless to single out anything as the beginning. Whatever speculation we make regarding the origin of the world, there is no absolute truth in our notion.
'Infinite is the sky, infinite is the number of beings,
Infinite are the worlds in the vast universe,
Infinite in wisdom the Buddha teaches these,
Infinite are the virtues of Him who teaches these.' - (Sri Ramachandra)
One day a man called Malunkyaputta approached the Master and demanded that He explain the origin of the Universe to him. He even threatened to cease to be His follow if the Buddha's answer was not satisfactory. The Buddha calmly retorted that it was of no consequence to Him whether or not Malunkyaputta followed Him, because the Truth did not need anyone's support. Then the Buddha said that He would not go into a discussion of the origin of the Universe. To Him, gaining knowledge about such matters was a waste of time because a man's task was to liberate himself from the present, not the past or the future. To illustrate this, the Enlightened One related the parable of a man who was shot by a poisoned arrow. This foolish man refused to have the arrow removed until he found out all about the person who shot the arrow. By the time his attendants discovered these unnecessary details, the man was dead. Similarly, our immediate task is to attain Nibbana, not to worry about our beginnings.
Glad to hear his reasoning. I was looking for some answers. There was no doubt in my mind about my religion but there are some teachings of buddha, that sounds peaceful.
Of course. There are no any religions that equal to Buddhism and Buddha's teaching. Namo buddaya 🙏
@@dilshankavinda9559 There is no other God accept Allah(SWT) and Mohammad (SWS) is His messenger. As a believing women, Anything else is prohibited for me.

My IQ does not shine very well but one thing i know for sure is that,
There is no creation without a creator.
My creator is my God.
I can't think my life without the concept of after life. Without it, what is the purpose of our life? Why good deeds and bad deeds.
If you think, your life is for nothing and nothing will happen after your die than gd luck.
God forbid,If you get caught into an accident and lose some your abilities and think that's without a reason than gd luck.
I am not as strong as you. I am a simple person with simple guts. I believe and i have no power over an entity who is the reason behind my existence.
By believing, I have nothing to lose. what's truth and whats not, Everything will be clear after we die.
May Allah bless you and me with better understanding.
@cloudyyo
You saw this video and you replied to my comment. It proves that you think and wonder, this is what matters. A wondering person in better than one blindly following a thought that their forced up on them. I assure you i am not one of them. You have a belief, i have one too. It just happens to contradict with each other. I am sure, we have our own logic and reasons.
Islam is the religion of honesty, modesty and sincerity. I can't be a Muslim without it. Islam is a lifestyle.Though i fail sometimes but still i try to Follow my deen. I am still learning to live with a faith. I am glad u understood. Thank you.
well, i don't know a lot About jewish God. But in Islam it’s different. I can't find a single point to not believe. I don’t know what education you r talking about. Islam is my own religion and It's shameful that i am not educated enough(religiously) . I am just a regular muslimah, who struggles a lot with her Iman(faith).
Every gd advice and teachings that i find in my day to day life. Islam already has it. Everything makes sense. We are just too stupid to think in the right way.
I realised,
I might get an awesome life without Islamic rules and regulations but i fear what will happen after the life is over. In other hand with Islam i have a purpose and It's beautiful though it’s hard with the world being South and the religion itself being north. But the relief is God will judge us by our sincerity and intention not by the results.
Most of the comments about misunderstanding of Buddhism but sadly no one has the correct answer
Because you go to scholars and monks and imaams for answers. You don't find answers on youtube. It is true this guy knows nothing 'bout Buddhism. At least not enough to speak on the matter in the Name of Islam. So, I think that is enough to point out and have people study Buddhism as Muslims before they conclude on the matter. And you can't study something through untrustworthy sources such as a man who is ill-informed.
@ShamSana He was not a convert to Buddhism, unfortunately. The reasons he gives in this video are misinformation, for that he clearly has not grasped the Buddha's teachings well enough to speak about them, let alone speak about them to hundreds of thousands of people. As a muslim, he should've known exactly how bad misinformation is. Muslims have been the target of misinformation for so many years now. It is sad to see such a fate befall on a beautiful religion such as Islam. However, neither Buddhism should be subject to the spread of misinformation.
Some people can take the emptiness part of Buddhism as nihilism. When they say annihilate the self/ego, why wouldn’t you want this? We need ego to function socially but do you really have to strongly identify with it? Islam is a beautiful religion, and so is Buddhism.
Understanding Buddhism requires some intelligence .
The apprehension of basic buddhism teaching is such a gem that for an instance selfishness hits you and makes you not wanna share the truth with anyone else. But then you still do coz that is you learned, to give.
He don't understand what suffering means in Buddhism...
Honestly,he even don't understand 1% of teaching of Buddha because in my entire life I haven't heard and see in any text and experience how he used to telling about Buddhism. Actually I'm monk for almost 20 years. Be careful from those person who haven't enough knowledge to teach other. like how he got a big miss understanding on Buddhism due to that kind of so-called teacher.
With all due respect, why are you blindly following someone, without proof?
If someone knocked on your front door, and said "I am an enlightened being, follow me." would you follow them?
@@abelievereverrising283 Buddha never said so
Very impressive
1. He says that Buddha taught that "life is suffering." Buddha did not teach that life is suffering. Buddha taught that suffering is an inevitable part of life.
2. He says that Buddha taught that suffering is caused by "the ego." Buddha did not talk about "the ego." That's a concept that Freud invented. Buddha said that mistaken beliefs and bad practices cause suffering. One of these mistaken beliefs is the belief that the self is eternal, perfect, and invincible. The self is not eternal or perfect. The self is a composite thing like anything else and is subject to cause and effect, change, and all kinds of suffering.
3. He says that Buddha taught that the ego must be annihilated. I don't know where he got this belief from. Nothing even remotely similar appears in Buddhism. Buddha taught against extreme ascetic practices and against self-annihilation.
This man is hilarious😆
Only wise ones understand Buddhism.
Islam hi Sach hai , hak hai allah hu akbar❤❤
First of all buddha talks about our life its dukha means unsatisfactory he is not talking about his life we can not imagine what kind of indescribable bliss he had achieved he want to take us from this dukha to that permanent bliss secondly until there is ego/self we are limited trapped in bondage that what is dukha. Nirvana doesn't mean Annihilation like death but Annihilation of ego and attainment of supreme selfless infinite state we can not imagine what it is thirdly this state of Nirvana is pure nothingness where from everything comes out whole existence and rest again in it . It is source of everything budhha doesn't call it god bcz by this term we would misunderstanding great nothingness as person somewhere controlling world how can be there person where there is no ego it is indescribable state
this man is not really a buddhist. it is not true we only believe in suffering LOL HE IS WRONG. we believe in how you can not suffer because life is suffering, it teaches you how to be positive about it
selling islam n talking wrong information about budhha proves u r a perfect muslim
He said the truth , I can see you are perfect Buddhist. 😂😂😂😂
Tell Allah to make sky red color. I will change my religion. There is God but he can't do everything. Y he create abnormal people.if he has power show us. We will believe
Eram Robin For one moment I ask to use your intellect. If Allah made his presence evident, it would defeat the purpose of his creation.
Eram Robin Allah already gave us a book to follow. And everything we gonna answer on the judgment day. Who the one follow will get reward go to heaven. Who the one not follow will go to hell forever. That is our choice wanna follow or not.
Is like we now in exam hall. Who the want can answer and get higher result in this exam will pass this exam and can go university. But who the one cannot answer that, will failure the exam. How can you asking teacher to give you the answer when examination time. Is not fair to people the one who study hard before exam, if you can get the answer easily from teacher while exam process.
It’s same like you ask Allah to turn the red sky become red then you will convert muslim. Allah now already gave us a book for our guidance. Now we have to study and hopefully all of us can answer at the judgement day and get reward go to heaven. If now you dont want study, but want easy answer from Allah, not fair for other people.
He never said Life's suffering. This guy was not a Buddhist mate. He wasn't ever convinced by Buddhist teachings. So, to say he converted is absolutely untrue. It is not that simple as he put the Buddha's teachings. It is far more refined than that. He should not have spoken out with his dangerously limited knowledge.
Well done he is not deserve to b a buddhist.islam is best for him.bcause he not understand the path of Buddha.

BUDDHISM IS JUST REALITY AND COMMON SENSE AND NOT ROCKET SCIENCE>
Hard to comprehend - thats not an argument
Life is suffering - false premise because there is also joy life, this is misunderstanding the nature of discontent which is at the core of the grasping. Even behind joy there is discontent thereafter due to impermanence.
Ignores the issue of god and existence of god - this is true, buddhism is silent on this because the view is that knowing who god is does not result in liberation. Replacing this gap with another god is then the issue, which god? Is he going to be hindu soon?
If all who get converted to islam are getting rewarded why once rich countries like syria, lebanon , libya, iraq and more other islamic countries have got destroyed by now. Is that because they were islam from the birth or because they all had got converted to another religion ? Please all muslims read the video description and then answer for my simple question. May all living beings be well and happy.
maybe your question is old but my answer would be gets destroyed by? and still going strong? for its seems like they wanna a total annihilation on us muslims? by?
😂😂😂 he is really funny 😂😂
Hahahaha this guy is so funny
An easy reaction... You don't understand.. Buddhism is what Budda said or did not what any of his followers understand
I feel like this guy just Googled "The downside of Buddhism" and spoke on that without ever becoming or understanding Buddhism
I'm buddhism as well. But we can't believe everything what monk said. Because the truth of what Buddha said were altered by people who want only their advantage. Buddha said don't believe what i said. You have to discover what is your's truth through my teaching.
Forgive me for my misspelling and grammar.
this guys never be a buddhist, he read buddha teaching from internet, and thot he knew everything, LOL
Honestly I fear that’s true for most ex-Buddhist or ex-atheist converts to either Christianity or Islam. More often than not, they never make any sense talking about their former believes. Don’t know if they are lying or were just very ill-informed and extremely delusional.
the cause of suffering is not ego, it is ignorance, when you follow eight fold path then you will attain nirvana

Actually Buddhism is not a religiom of converts and reverts,Its a neverending journey of searching for truths until you attain Nibbana,People usually starts schooling in kindergardens by the age of three,then twenty more years to finish tertiary education.Still,one has plenty of knowlede to acquire after getting his phd.What i mean is can you teach tertiary level of education to anyone?Buddha explained that each of us has gone through uncountable rebirths in this or other planets,so be patience,maybe in next rebirth,you may gain the wisdom.

I have a question my ex girlfriend was a Buddhist and when I met her I wasn't practicing anything but went to pray with her at a Buddhist temple. I prayed to the idol of buddha because deep down I was lost and looking for God. We broke up and I found Islam and became Muslim during Ramadan and now practice. Will Allah forgive me because it says multiple times that Allah does not forgive shirk. Can someone let me know, thank you
Yes inshahallah ALLAH will forgive you ,because you did shirk before becoming Muslim now if a person repent to Allah after doing shirk and don't do shirk afterwards ALLAH will forgive him,,the punishment of shirk will given to those who did shirk and didn't repent till death ,,,Allahamdulillah now you became muslim now only worship allah alone ,,,I hope you get your answer 💖💖😊😊salam.

@@blackwhite-zv3qy Buddhism is not about finding a creator and going to heaven, god is just a mere thought we humans created ourselves to make us feel better and not face the consequences of our actions. You sir, are brainwashed to believe something that doesn't even exist. Buddhism focuses on mental wellbeing rather than faith itself, Buddhism is about the journey, not the destination.
The universe is a vast and infinite expansion of planets, solar systems, galaxies and much much more. Keep in mind that if you gather enough merits by doing the right thing, you'll be reborn as a human. Humans are special since they are very self aware and are critical thinkers. Buddha himself states that there are more planets just like us, suns, stars moons all kinds of things.

i accept their is joy but are those joy permanent??
Once you're experience joy you have to experience the sorrow
Joy will take you to sorrow
But Buddhism teaches you to leave this joy and to achieve peace
And that peace is the real joy this Peace will never let you sad this Peace is permanent.
So want you want a temporary joy or the permanent Peace
Choice is yours😇
Who ever the person is, he just completely misunderstood the concept of Buddhism cause Buddhism never ever teach you to destroy, or annihilate yourself. I am also a Buddhist, so, does it mean buddha comes to me one day, and tell me to destroy myself? Just think of it, people.
Annihilation of the ego, the impermanent illusory self should be a goal. By identifying with the constructs that make up our identity, we are simply spinning in Samsara. Someone people are too invested in the self and see it as their permanent selves. Simply examine the body and the components that make up the body. The "body" is just different organization working together into one form- the ego is no different.

No, he did not say to worship him. No Buddhist worships Buddha. He is just seen as a teacher of the way to end suffering. Kind of how you don't worship prophets, but they bring a teaching.

Simply , He don't know about Buddhism and its teaching.
People with little intelligence cannot understand the nuanced philosophy of Buddhism. So the creator or almighty concept is so appealing as it requires little understanding - even the pre-teens will understand it.
Little minds reject the Almighty God and worship human beings, stones and wood.
Great
Buddha said that desire is the cause of suffering. If you accept everything as it happens, you can not suffer.
