MAY THAY (THICH NHAT HANH) REST IN NIRVANA (02/23/2023 12 am, Hue, Vietnam) Today Thay, Thich Nhat Hanh, passed away. I am so blessed to have had time with him as my teacher during my monastic years. He helped me leave the hell of addiction and his teachings on death helped me completely release my suicidal thoughts. We are all so blessed to encounter his teachings and I am very grateful for the technology that will allow such a large number of his teachings to continue on indefinitely. If Thay has touched your life in a meaningful way, please leave a comment here. No coming, no going. No birth, no death. I love you Thay🙏🙏🙏
My father died this year and it killed me because I never got to say goodbye. This helped me grow a little more spiritually today. Him and Eckhart Tolle are truly my mentors for spirituality.
yes he is a hero. Very educative. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
I have never thought that such deep and difficult existential issues can be ever explained to children and at the same time be completely understood.This humble spirit whose human name is Thich Nhat Hanh has not only persuaded me that it is possible but he has also convinced me that the 'divine' itself has found expression through him to manifest its wisdom.

partial and imperfect transcript Where is life, there is death; and where there is death, there is life. This requires some meditation. In Buddhism we speak of interbeing. It means that we cannot be by yourself alone. You have to be with the other side. It’s like the left and the right. If the right is not there, the left cannot be. It’s not possible to take the left away from the right. The right and the left want to be together, because without the other, you cannot be. Like above and below. Above cannot be there if there is no below. That is interbeing. They have to be there at the same time. So when God said “let the light be,” and the light said “I have to wait for darkness to manifest together,” because light and darkness they inter-are. And god said, darkness is already there. So the light said, “In that case I am already there.” Good and evil. Before and after. You and I. I cannot be there without you. I cannot be there, the lotus flower cannot be there. There is no happiness without suffering. There is no life without death. And when a biologist observes the body of a human being, they see that life and death happen at the same time in the body. In this moment, thousands and thousands of cells are dying. When you scratch your skin, many dry cells fall down; they have died. Many cells die every moment of our daily life. And because you are so busy, you don’t notice that you are dying. If they die, you die. You think you don’t die yet, you have to wait 50-70 years. But that’s not true. Death is happening in the here and the now. And because the dying of the cells, the birth of other cells is possible. So many cells are born in the present moment, and we don’t have the time to welcome them. So the fact is that scientifically speaking, you can see birth and death happening in the present moment. So you experience dying and being born in every moment. Before you were conceived, you had already been there in your mother and your father in another form. So there is no birth, and there is no ending. So when we know that birth and death are together, we are not afraid of dying. La vie avec la mort. You have to observe life during your daily life, and you see birth and death inter-are in everything. Trees, animals, weather, matter, energy. Scientists have already pronounced there is no birth and death. There is only transformation. So transformation is possible, is real, and birth and death are not real. What you call birth and death are transformation. Chemical reaction. You bring substances together, and that makes a transformation. You think substances have vanished, but when you look deeply, the substance is still there in another form. When you look at the sky, you don’t see a cloud anymore. You think the cloud has died. But it has simply transformed into rain. There is no birth and death, only continuation. When you see there is no birth and no death, you are not afraid of dying. This is an invitation to lead our life more deeply, with more concentration, to be more in touch deeply with what is happening, with the true nature of reality. This is what is Nirvana in Buddhism. No birth and no death. A wave is afraid of dying. But if the wave realizes she is water, she is not afraid. Going up, she is water. Going down, she is water. So it’s very important that the wave does some meditation and realizes that she is wave but at the same time she is water, and when she knows she is water, she is no longer afraid of dying. She feels wonderful going up, she feels wonderful going down. A cloud is like that. The wave does not go and look for water. She doesn’t have to go and search for water because she is water in the here and now. The same is true with god. You don’t have to look for god. God is our true nature. You don’t have to look for nirvana. Nirvana is our ground.
All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...
@@dreamsofturtles1828 + Great analogy but let me ask you this... do you think she heard such chimes or had such revelations after she passed? Probably not.
Rest in peace, my friend! “This body of mine will disintegrate, but my actions will continue me… If you think I am only this body, then you have not truly seen me. When you look at my friends, you see my continuation. When you see someone walking with mindfulness and compassion, you know he is my continuation. I don’t see why we have to say “I will die,” because I can already see myself in you, in other people, and in future generations. Even when the cloud is not there, it continues as snow or rain. It is impossible for the cloud to die. It can become rain or ice, but it cannot become nothing. The cloud does not need to have a soul in order to continue. There’s no beginning and no end. I will never die. There will be a dissolution of this body, but that does not mean my death. I will continue, always.” -Thay
I pray you all find the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't believe the lie that there is no life after death or the lie of reincarnation. God told us in Isaiah 43 10 Behold, before Me there was no God, neither will there be any God after Me. Do you also know what Jesus said? Jesus said no one, not a single soul, goes to God but by Me. Jesus said I Am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. You cannot have peace with God without the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus died in the sins of the world and rose from the dead, so that we could be justified and washed by His blood. And yet you choose to follow buddha? Jesus said not a single work I speak comes from Me but from God the Father. The teachings of Jesus came from the mouth of God and no other. I pray you repent and walk in the Lord Jesus Christ and turn from the lies of buddhism so you don't suffer the everlasting gates of hell. Jesus loves you so much He wants Himself in your life and I pray you follow the True Everlasting God for His love for you is Greater than all understanding.
@@likenl4508 Why do you assume that your religion is the right one? Just because it’s yours? Very disrespectful to come into the comments of a video that’s helping people just to push your views on them. Seems you could learn from your Christ a bit more about compassion.
Thank you Thay for sharing your wisdom, kindness and heart with us. You have helped me spiritually and emotionally in so many ways, ever since i first discovered you over 6 years ago and fresh in recovery from over 20+ years of active addiction to drink and drugs. I owe a large part of my sobriety to you! Physically you may no longer be with us but you live in every single person who has taken comfort from your teachings. Namaste.
This sweet young Girl remained focused on Thay through this whole time, truly beautiful because they needed each other for Wisdom to come through, Thank You to Thay & Thank You for You Dear Soul. ✨ To ✨
Thay has transferred the deep meanings by Buddha into the modern knowledge. It is much understandable and perceivable that enables more people love and practise Buddhism.
@@robertjsmith yes, I think that's what she was asking: "does the self live after death in some other realm or incarnation?" But he answered philosophically. Brilliantly, but philosophically.
I think what she meant was "will my self live after death in some other realm or dimension?" And I think his answer was basically "No". Brilliant answer but pretty indirect. Bill Burr said: "remember where you were before you were born? That's where you go after death" -- or something like that. Guess there's only one way to really find out. Live free or die. For death is not the worst of fates. Death is true freedom from tyranny.
His legacy will live on forever… a true, honorable loving teacher of our spirits. We are blessed to have witness such a important individual in our world.

How? It set off my death anxiety more knowing I’ll die and live on in the memories of others but will never see know or experience anything again. If this man is correct then I think it’s a horrible thought and would rather have a blind faith or something else 😂
When I think of the ocean, it is me, when I am the wave inside the ocean I rejoice within myself( because, I am a wave that is also an ocean). This morning I asked myself"how can I remain an ocean when there are so many waves not knowing that they are also an ocean? How can I keep my eyes open, when so many eyes are closed? And a voice within answered "You are not only an ocean, you are also, those waves and those eyes, both open and closed.

Finally I understood it when you got to the water/wave metaphor and found it extremely, powerfully moving and inspirational. Perhaps, unless this is a massive oversimplification, an example of what is often misunderstood as the idea of reincarnation. Thank you anyway, again, as always (I watch a lot of your videos and have recently become a subscriber) for your wonderful insights.

@@likenl4508Ajaran Buddha tidak mengajarkan kepercayaan membuta, untuk percaya begitu saja apa yang tertulis di kitab suci, ini firman tuhan, harus percaya kalau tidak masuk neraka, ada ancaman untuk takut, tapi Buddha mengajarkan EHIPASSHIKO, ( Datang, lihat, dan buktikan ajarannya). Banyak orang sudah berlatih dan membuktikan ajarannya. Pembuktian mengenai kasus reinkarnasi sudah dilakukan oleh penelitian ian stevenson, dkk dan penelitian yang menggunakan past life regresi.
“Details take away from experience” good point. However in this case even ppl who have the details don’t believe it. It “ will be” for those who believe. Ani-matter is waiting for those who don’t. @Daniel Paulson
I would say that it appears that energy can not be created or destroyed but ironically it appears that everything is made of imagination and even energy only exists in the imagination of the one who is aware of it. I think it's the one who can't be created or destroyed and the energy that we see in the one's imagination represents this Truth. Imagination would seem to be the word and the waters which it is spoken across is the mind of God. Jesus is the light of God, I think, created by the word of God. Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life and the key to the Kingdom of God which is Love and the power of Creation. It seems that the closest anyone can get to going to Hell is to live in the hope that someone else will. We have to forgive those who know not what they do before we can ascend from the cross. I'm pretty sure that's correct and it's the sentiment reflected in the Sound of Silence, Stairway to heaven and Sympathy for the Devil to cite a few Spiritual writings and I think they said something about it in the Vedas. 🙏
Thankyou so much for the question and answer. This helped me a lot. Although being born as a Buddhist, I have always had that doubt in the back of my mind, bothering me. I just simply couldn't convince myself that there's a 'literal' rebirth. After not being able to find a satisfying answer, I looked and thought deeply about it myself, I realised something very similar to this. (Correct me if I have the wrong idea) I feel like in Buddhism, the idea if birth, death and rebirth means the change, transformation and difference in our character and life everyday, within our lifetime. I am now not the person who I was before I watched this, I will not be the same person tomorrow as I am today. It's because the constant exposure to different elements in life changes us, everyday- everyminute. Both physically and psychologically. This might be the birth and death that Buddhism points at. These changes bring us suffering, good and bad, the idea of karma. And living in such conditions for a long time is hard to anyone I.e samsara? Therefore, the enlightenment we search in Buddhism is a life that is well lived without suffering too much. And it's achieved through controlling our minds. Understanding deeply about life and it's nature. Neither weighing towards too much or too little. Thus the middle path. It's a life that was good for ourselves as well as the world. It's a life where at the end of our lifetime, will be one that is not to feel regret of. It's a one that we'll be satisfied and happy to leave behind. Passing away peacefully to the unknown is be nirvana. This is what I have realised. And the answer from the video enhanced my understanding and ideas. This is probably the only answer that I found to be logical and sensible that aligns with my feelings. Thankyou again.

I don’t understand why people are confused about his answer. I think it is very clear that there is no life and no death. Life and death happen at the same time. We are here even before the day we are born and as we are born and live we are dying and being reborn every day (cells in our body die and regenerate). Since there is NO LIFE and NO DEATH, there is NO Such thing as life after death. There is no beginning and no ending. Life is a cycle. Hope that helps
@@bebedraws1768 -- I had the same reaction. My notion is that individual consciousness dies when the body/brain dies. But I figure Thich Nhat Hanh was making a different point.
I think there is no YES or NO for this question, the answer is that there is only the TRANSFORMATION. Like he said "there is no birth or death. what we called birth and death, they are just a form of transformation". He has already given the answer to those kids if you listen carefully. :D
I agree with you .I think there are worldly truths and supramundane truth.worldly truth is like classical physics and supermundane truth is like quantum mechanics. But Buddha using meditation as a microscope realised the supramandane truth but we ordinary beings wouldn't understand it.just like Richard feyman who says if you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't.maybe this truth is beyond thoughts.

behind everything I know, there's a me knowing it. Im the only constant between all thoughts and experiences, shouting ego at me won't make this knower go away. she's only asking if that chain of knowing continues to know itself after the body ceases.
To all the people saying he didn't answer. If you listen closely, he says yes. But he doesn't want you to intellectualize it. Birth is not really the first moment you were born, and death is not the last moment of life, this transformation was present long before this birth and will be long after our death.
That was a great answer to a question that wasn't asked. My guess is that the young lady was merely asking if, after the body dies, does a person's consciousness/personality continue.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for this excelente question and the wonderfull answer. My honor ti our Venerable Thay, in this answer he gave us a full class, for my is a great gift. I'll listen several times in order to learn a little bit more every time. Thank you to the smart girls for doing this question. Lots of hugs. Evangelina Cortes.

I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha.

Merci. Many thanks to plum village and the honorable teacher. So, to those who have forgotten their question, ‘is there life after death’. Maybe this is the short answer: where there is life, there is death, both exist at the same time, yet ultimately life and death do not exist, there is no separation.
There is no honor in error this man is spewing. There is no death because Jesus destroyed it those who proclaim Jesus as God never die. This man steals answers inverts God’s ideas without giving God credit. Hell to this MAN. GOD ABOVE MAN.
Who really dies? Who really is born? Individual doesn't exist ultimately , individual is inter-being, but in the form of illusion (ego). Ultimately there is not individuality and this is the answer to many comments. This man is really enlighted and a sublime person. Thanks.
Admittedly, this question has no easy answer - and all credit to the young ladies for remaining so focused when so lost. However, this is one of the questions upon which Buddha maintained his Noble Silence - I think it should be left at that.
All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...
Jesus said: If your leaders say to you, "Look! The Kingdom is in the sky!" Then the birds will be there before you are. Rather, the Kingdom is within you and it is outside you. They asked him: When is the Kingdom coming? He replied: It is not coming in an easily observable manner. People will not be saying, "Look, it's over here" or "Look, it's over there." Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is already spread out on the earth, and people aren't aware of it. - Gospel of Thomas
I hate what God hates. When people think they know anything about life and death and exclude God from the context that is denial. This guru is not proclaiming Christ as the ultimate source of information. This guru thinks HE KNOWS. That’s extremely arrogant. He needs to give God credit where’s its due. Most of the world hates and denies Jesus you are in the dark. @Sammy Scotch
This doesn’t explain how consciousness appears to begin at birth and end at death. The children weren’t asking whether the molecules in their bodies exist after death; they were asking whether their consciousness survives.
In Buddhism you touch these questions deeply through personal insight and lots of practice. You learn through touching it in meditation. Words can only say so much.
I think if you ask a Tibetan Buddhist, he will just say "yes". I think if Thich Nhat Hanh believed "yes", he would say so. Instead, all this sounds like a qualifying "no". Like, "no, but really what you think of as life is not so simple". That's fine, but that's still a no, and it's a different answer from Tibetan Buddhism. Which - one may want to ask - why is that the case? Do Tibbetan Buddhists have different traditions or have they had different experiences?
Thich Nhat Nanh’s perspective is deep and touches the ultimate dimension of life. He said life energy follows the laws of energy. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; thus, we are still around after we died physically. A cloud never dies; instead, it changes only its form of existence. So do we.
I think the question was referring to the survival of the personality or the body,as that is the level of understanding of the young girl. If you dont know you are in fact "water" or Awareness, not a person, however old you are then his answer would have no meaning . However the wave and water analogy was very good .A wave is the same substance as the Ocean but a different shape,it is neither born or dies , water just has a little movement for a while and it thinks it is a wave, a person. A person is just an idea in the mind based on life conditioning ,a mind construct.

You are not only the body, or the mind, or the ego. You are everything combine. If your body is made up of 65% of water. Then aren't you 65% of the whole ocean itself? So in a sense, you are not "inside" the universe. You "are" the universe who is experiencing itself, in a different perspective such as "me", "you" or "this car" or "that car". Everything is literally one single being. You can call it "god" or "the source" or "the universe" or "all that is", there are many names. God is not a seperated being from you. The real you, which is the source of all things, don't die, It's more like you can't die, you just change forms. Can you really get rid of "water"? When water evaporated, it became air, when air became saturated, it became cloud, when cloud is condensed, it start raining down water, and the whole cycle repeated. You can never really completely get rid of "water" out of existence, because it will just change form no matter what you do with it. You are in fact, the same way. You don't die, you just recycle. That's where the idea of reincarnation are made. . Even if we are all are just one singularity being at our core, we are living in a state of seperation , or duality , such as: I am seperated from you, you are seperated from me. When we each have individual thoughts, that is how realities are formed, when one thought collide with another. Imagine if you live in a state of singularity with unity consciousness. In this singularity consciousness, you are living as if you are "everything at once". When you live in this state of singularity instead of duality, there wont be any individual thoughts, there wont be "my thoughts", there won't be "your thoughts", it will just be "our thoughts" always. There won't be any events happening because it won't be any individual "thoughts" collide with one another to make an "event". A whole relationship of 20 years would just happen in a snap of a finger because "time" or duration of manifesation will not exist in this unity consciousness. Unity consciousness, can be called the ending journey of the soul, or "death" for some people. It's a journey of going back to the source. When you are living in "unity consciousness", there will just be an eternal awareness of nothingness. Do you call it death? It's up to your judgement. Nowday many people talk about how they want to get out of reincarnation cycle because it's full of suffering. Do you want to live an eternal life of nothingness? or do you rather live to experience "life", to love, to laugh, to suffer, and to growth, just so you can die and repeat it again. To live life in this state of duality, or seperation is a blessing of itself. :)
+The Sleuth's Report what are you even saying mate.. first of all you said you don't believe in life after death, yet you go looking for your father who have passed away..? Second, when did i say god is nothingness? I clearly said that we are god, which is we are everything combine. You're proprably confused with the singularity consciousness that i stated. So you already know that we everything combine at our core, correct? But we are living in a 3 dimensional state, which is im seperated from you and you are seperated from me, but we are one at our core, so what do you think would happen if we are living as if we are all one? Aka the singularity consciousness? Life wouldn't happen with the singularity consciousness. Life only works with the duality consciousness that we are living right now, where 2 seperate thoughts form into a reality. I've astral travel my whole life so idk how that would help my claim but theres that, if you don't know what it is, just look it up.
+The Sleuth's Report oh no haha, what i was saying is, some people who is deep into the spiritual life, they think the world is full of suffering, so they want to stop the reincarnation cycle. If you stop the reincarnation cycle, which is your energy stop recycling, meaning you'll be living in the singularity consciousness, you'll be everything combine, which mean you won't be able to experience life, emotions, growth or anything like that. Where if you are living in duality, you get to experience what life has to offer, you get to experience emotions and all that good stuff. Singularity consciousness = you'll be nothing but an awareness.
+The Sleuth's Report I've done this in astral travelling and lucid dreaming actually. I don't know where we go when we die, but if it's to the astral world in astral travelling, life is much more fun there. Maybe when we die, we go to different dimensions where duality consciousness still applies, who knows. But to go back to the state of singularity is when your consciousness merge with the "source" or "god", but when does that happen, i have no idea. I've read some books that said it's the final lesson for the soul to go back to the source but yeah, i guess that's beyond our 3D perception right now
Stopping the reincarnation cycle not necessarily meaning living in singularity consciousness in Mahayana Buddha Dharma.People believe that many chan or Zen masters have already reached the stage of Bodhisatava meaning they have already stopped the rebirth cycle and which will lead you to the pure land.However in Vajrayana tradition if you have not achieved the status of higher lamas or Rinpoche you will go through the life cycle or rebirth continuously in different form depending on your karma .Only higher lamas and Rinpoche can be reborn as reincarnated being or enlighten being.
Rudolf Steiner wrote an excellent little book, actually a series of lectures on the topic of what specifically happens after death, called, 'The Inner Nature of Man: Our Life Between Death and Rebirth.'
Well i put it this way we are a thought form inhabiting a material body, we are all part of the life force called god =intelligent energy --most people cant remember the "place" we came from to experience life as a human, we are all heading toward enlightment thru different bodys and experiences =love and peace and true happiness!!!
A yes or no would suffice. He speaks like a politician, lots and lots of words but never gives a straight answer. What the students were wondering was if consciousness exists after the body dies. Does the “self” live after the body dies. All he had to say was “I don’t know”
He does speak like a politician. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar.

I had to literally pause the video some time to just understand what he is saying lol but overall I get what he is trying to say! Very deep and wise man!
Of course that seems like the logical answer she was looking for. But what he was explaining was that from his Buddhist perspective, the question itself is wrong. She is already dead whilst being alive. Likewise, she is alive after what she perceives as, "death." The method of thinking she offers is in itself an inaccurate way of interpreting her life. She's asking the question from her religious/scientific perspective, that being that we were "born" when we were either conceived or physically birthed into the world. From the mindset of the practicing Buddhist, this question cannot be answered as such because the mentality accepts a falsehood from the onset. I think that's why he was trying to use metaphors to explain his perspective.
@thomas seven Nope. Consciousness is not a function of the brain but what animated the brain. Many have experienced consciousness without detectable brain activity.
in the beginning he says you are experiencing death and birth, althought the transformation part was really profound and it opened my eyes in one way, as he goes on he continues to say you can not die, and there is no such thing as death. this is confusing to adults let alone children. if you take a universal view, this is really deep.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy neither created nor destroyed only transforms from one form into the other. This law is called the conservation of energy. This also applies to the psyche. The mind was never created no will it be destroyed just transformation from one form into the other.
The answer is given directly by the Buddha repeatedly in the sutras, e.g. the Majjhima Nikaya, hell realms, brahma realms, devas, 31 planes of existence, etc.
Crow T. Robot If this monk speaks like this in thailand, he would be thrown out of sangha. Buddha clearly mentioned six realms of rebirth. Buddha taught more about heavens and hell realms than ither religion. And this monk never once mentioned this to his followers throughout his life.
@@surendrasharma1798 That is the answer who need heaven and hell. Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism are literally mounted on the belief if eternal being. If you need sutras, there is still some realization to do. He is not "this monk". He is Thay, he is single-handedly responsible for spreading Buddhism to West in times of trouble. He received a Nobel along with MLK. It speaks volumes of his character and understanding. Try not to disparage what you do not understand.
But when you die today , everything about you and the knowledge acquired in this life , your name and gender will cease immediately. Nobody knows your next life including yourself. Be kind and enjoy your life to the fullest and also be generous to your parents everyday. Do not worry about afterlife but do well in this life by helping people.Your contribution to society is most important than personal meditation.
Most if not all genuine Spiritual teachers do not answer the question; the question is do WE survive death. It might be an ego-based question, but I smile and know that they won't answer this (although I haven't yet got to the end of this video yet) I think no and yes; the Something goes on but the person folds back into that something...
continuity vs consciousness. Maybe a better framing is, conscious is just a tool to be used now, and a new one will be given next time. Our life is a journey and consciousness is a tool used for now. The problem is to think that consciousness should be privileged into something that has a rebirth. Where in reality there is one collective universal consciousness and when we are born, we receive a small bowl that can collect a few drops of the water and then when we die the bowl returns to clay to be built for the next incarnation.
Even if a person is a progenitor of an amazing thought, that person would still have the imagination to know that it is not important for him or her to maintain a personal memory of this deed, past the length of their lifetime. But rather it gets shared and returned into the collective for the edification of all. Rinse and repeat. For the average person, we just borrow our thoughts and words. Someone else says and thinks those thoughts more eloquently, so release yourself from the collected burden at the end and await the next incarnation.
we are life, we stay alive, after ‘death’, life is us, we can’t be anything else, we don’t need to be afraid of death because we are life in every form, so also the ‘death’ form
@@peaceonearth351 so we have allways been and for ever will be yes there is life after death I will never forget the time this man gave his life for us... His name is Jesus
It's called the Law of Opposites. Everything in the universe has its opposites. For example, a negatively charged electron must have a positively charged proton to balance it out. Indeed, matter itself has antimatter as its opposite. Opposites interplay in order to make existence possible. This truth is actually useful in our everyday life: If you encounter scarcity, you know that abundance must follow because one cannot exist without the other. It's the Law of Existence itself therefore if you experience bad things in life, don't fret. You can be sure great things will follow!
Douglas Wayne Bible,John 6: 35,40,47-48; 8:51: “Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. The will of Him who sent Me is that whoever sees the Son and believes in Himm has life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. Truly, truly, I say to you: he who believes in Me has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Truly, truly I say to you: whoever keeps My word will never see death. "

I have a lot of respect for his wisdom but no one has really been able to answer the question of life after physical death. No one really knows. There is no way to know until we actually go thru it. Every religious book or philosophical theory differs on the topic. All science can confirm is how the body deteriorates after death or how a life is created/birthed. That's it.
Love this man. Can somebody help please. What about consciousness though? Our physical bodies may continue as part of the cosmic body like waves and clouds do but what about the consciousness within our bodies? I think that’s where the fear of death comes from, losing the consciousness that allows us to experience. Please could somebody advise?
@@lisamac8503 thank you. Since I wrote this comment a year ago I now understand that I am infinite consciousness and that I am eternal. I cannot lose what I am. After this body dies, I remain. Thank you x
Still quite mystic for me ... i never ask myself if there is life after death, because when i die it is the end, even if TNH says that i am something else... it doesn't matter, i don't care to be something else. I just see that i am no more with my familiy and they can't be with me any more. That is suffering ... So enjoy the present.
Death creates a Void - the person who was with us won't be available in flesh and blood.Yes,you are right Zen Master that Birth & Death are inseparable.

He helped me leave the hell of addiction and his teachings on death helped me completely release my suicidal thoughts. We are all so blessed to encounter his teachings and I am very grateful for the technology that will allow such a large number of his teachings to continue on indefinitely.

yes he is a hero. Very educative. Please allow me to interrupt. I feel Buddhists should know this. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game.

I have never thought that such deep and difficult existential issues can be ever explained to children and at the same time be completely understood.This humble spirit whose human name is Thich Nhat Hanh has not only persuaded me that it is possible but he has also convinced me that the 'divine' itself has found expression through him to manifest its wisdom.

partial and imperfect transcript
Where is life, there is death; and where there is death, there is life. This requires some meditation. In Buddhism we speak of interbeing. It means that we cannot be by yourself alone. You have to be with the other side. It’s like the left and the right. If the right is not there, the left cannot be. It’s not possible to take the left away from the right. The right and the left want to be together, because without the other, you cannot be. Like above and below. Above cannot be there if there is no below. That is interbeing. They have to be there at the same time. So when God said “let the light be,” and the light said “I have to wait for darkness to manifest together,” because light and darkness they inter-are. And god said, darkness is already there. So the light said, “In that case I am already there.” Good and evil. Before and after. You and I. I cannot be there without you. I cannot be there, the lotus flower cannot be there. There is no happiness without suffering. There is no life without death. And when a biologist observes the body of a human being, they see that life and death happen at the same time in the body. In this moment, thousands and thousands of cells are dying. When you scratch your skin, many dry cells fall down; they have died. Many cells die every moment of our daily life. And because you are so busy, you don’t notice that you are dying. If they die, you die. You think you don’t die yet, you have to wait 50-70 years. But that’s not true. Death is happening in the here and the now. And because the dying of the cells, the birth of other cells is possible. So many cells are born in the present moment, and we don’t have the time to welcome them. So the fact is that scientifically speaking, you can see birth and death happening in the present moment. So you experience dying and being born in every moment. Before you were conceived, you had already been there in your mother and your father in another form. So there is no birth, and there is no ending. So when we know that birth and death are together, we are not afraid of dying. La vie avec la mort. You have to observe life during your daily life, and you see birth and death inter-are in everything. Trees, animals, weather, matter, energy. Scientists have already pronounced there is no birth and death. There is only transformation. So transformation is possible, is real, and birth and death are not real. What you call birth and death are transformation. Chemical reaction. You bring substances together, and that makes a transformation. You think substances have vanished, but when you look deeply, the substance is still there in another form. When you look at the sky, you don’t see a cloud anymore. You think the cloud has died. But it has simply transformed into rain. There is no birth and death, only continuation. When you see there is no birth and no death, you are not afraid of dying. This is an invitation to lead our life more deeply, with more concentration, to be more in touch deeply with what is happening, with the true nature of reality. This is what is Nirvana in Buddhism. No birth and no death. A wave is afraid of dying. But if the wave realizes she is water, she is not afraid. Going up, she is water. Going down, she is water. So it’s very important that the wave does some meditation and realizes that she is wave but at the same time she is water, and when she knows she is water, she is no longer afraid of dying. She feels wonderful going up, she feels wonderful going down. A cloud is like that. The wave does not go and look for water. She doesn’t have to go and search for water because she is water in the here and now. The same is true with god. You don’t have to look for god. God is our true nature. You don’t have to look for nirvana. Nirvana is our ground.

All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...

Rest in peace, my friend!
“This body of mine will disintegrate, but my actions will continue me… If you think I am only this body, then you have not truly seen me. When you look at my friends, you see my continuation. When you see someone walking with mindfulness and compassion, you know he is my continuation. I don’t see why we have to say “I will die,” because I can already see myself in you, in other people, and in future generations.
Even when the cloud is not there, it continues as snow or rain. It is impossible for the cloud to die. It can become rain or ice, but it cannot become nothing. The cloud does not need to have a soul in order to continue. There’s no beginning and no end. I will never die. There will be a dissolution of this body, but that does not mean my death.
I will continue, always.”

I pray you all find the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't believe the lie that there is no life after death or the lie of reincarnation. God told us in Isaiah 43 10 Behold, before Me there was no God, neither will there be any God after Me. Do you also know what Jesus said? Jesus said no one, not a single soul, goes to God but by Me. Jesus said I Am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. You cannot have peace with God without the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus died in the sins of the world and rose from the dead, so that we could be justified and washed by His blood. And yet you choose to follow buddha? Jesus said not a single work I speak comes from Me but from God the Father. The teachings of Jesus came from the mouth of God and no other. I pray you repent and walk in the Lord Jesus Christ and turn from the lies of buddhism so you don't suffer the everlasting gates of hell. Jesus loves you so much He wants Himself in your life and I pray you follow the True Everlasting God for His love for you is Greater than all understanding.

@@robertjsmith yes, I think that's what she was asking: "does the self live after death in some other realm or incarnation?" But he answered philosophically. Brilliantly, but philosophically.
I think what she meant was "will my self live after death in some other realm or dimension?" And I think his answer was basically "No". Brilliant answer but pretty indirect. Bill Burr said: "remember where you were before you were born? That's where you go after death" -- or something like that. Guess there's only one way to really find out. Live free or die. For death is not the worst of fates. Death is true freedom from tyranny.

I have always had great respect for Thich Nath Hanh. His excellent book, No Death, No Fear, helped me overcome my own fear of death.
How? It set off my death anxiety more knowing I’ll die and live on in the memories of others but will never see know or experience anything again. If this man is correct then I think it’s a horrible thought and would rather have a blind faith or something else 😂

When I think of the ocean, it is me, when I am the wave inside the ocean I rejoice within myself( because, I am a wave that is also an ocean). This morning I asked myself"how can I remain an ocean when there are so many waves not knowing that they are also an ocean? How can I keep my eyes open, when so many eyes are closed? And a voice within answered "You are not only an ocean, you are also, those waves and those eyes, both open and closed.

Finally I understood it when you got to the water/wave metaphor and found it extremely, powerfully moving and inspirational.

Yes, no birth no death. Transformation only, because we are purer energy, and energy can neither be created nor destroy.

“Details take away from experience” good point. However in this case even ppl who have the details don’t believe it. It “ will be” for those who believe. Ani-matter is waiting for those who don’t. @Daniel Paulson
I would say that it appears that energy can not be created or destroyed but ironically it appears that everything is made of imagination and even energy only exists in the imagination of the one who is aware of it. I think it's the one who can't be created or destroyed and the energy that we see in the one's imagination represents this Truth. Imagination would seem to be the word and the waters which it is spoken across is the mind of God. Jesus is the light of God, I think, created by the word of God. Jesus is the way the Truth and the Life and the key to the Kingdom of God which is Love and the power of Creation. It seems that the closest anyone can get to going to Hell is to live in the hope that someone else will. We have to forgive those who know not what they do before we can ascend from the cross. I'm pretty sure that's correct and it's the sentiment reflected in the Sound of Silence, Stairway to heaven and Sympathy for the Devil to cite a few Spiritual writings and I think they said something about it in the Vedas. 🙏
Thankyou so much for the question and answer. This helped me a lot. Although being born as a Buddhist, I have always had that doubt in the back of my mind, bothering me. I just simply couldn't convince myself that there's a 'literal' rebirth. After not being able to find a satisfying answer, I looked and thought deeply about it myself, I realised something very similar to this. (Correct me if I have the wrong idea)
I feel like in Buddhism, the idea if birth, death and rebirth means the change, transformation and difference in our character and life everyday, within our lifetime. I am now not the person who I was before I watched this, I will not be the same person tomorrow as I am today. It's because the constant exposure to different elements in life changes us, everyday- everyminute. Both physically and psychologically. This might be the birth and death that Buddhism points at. These changes bring us suffering, good and bad, the idea of karma. And living in such conditions for a long time is hard to anyone I.e samsara? Therefore, the enlightenment we search in Buddhism is a life that is well lived without suffering too much. And it's achieved through controlling our minds. Understanding deeply about life and it's nature. Neither weighing towards too much or too little. Thus the middle path. It's a life that was good for ourselves as well as the world. It's a life where at the end of our lifetime, will be one that is not to feel regret of. It's a one that we'll be satisfied and happy to leave behind. Passing away peacefully to the unknown is be nirvana.
This is what I have realised. And the answer from the video enhanced my understanding and ideas. This is probably the only answer that I found to be logical and sensible that aligns with my feelings.
Thankyou again.
I don’t understand why people are confused about his answer. I think it is very clear that there is no life and no death. Life and death happen at the same time. We are here even before the day we are born and as we are born and live we are dying and being reborn every day (cells in our body die and regenerate). Since there is NO LIFE and NO DEATH, there is NO Such thing as life after death. There is no beginning and no ending. Life is a cycle. Hope that helps

Nonetheless, each individual's consciousness ceases to exist when their body ceases to function and return to dust.
I didn’t find the response satisfactory because it doesn’t address consciousness :(
@@bebedraws1768 -- I had the same reaction. My notion is that individual consciousness dies when the body/brain dies. But I figure Thich Nhat Hanh was making a different point.
@@johnashton4635 consciousness ceases to exist when the body dies?
I think there is no YES or NO for this question, the answer is that there is only the TRANSFORMATION. Like he said "there is no birth or death. what we called birth and death, they are just a form of transformation". He has already given the answer to those kids if you listen carefully. :D
I agree with you .I think there are worldly truths and supramundane truth.worldly truth is like classical physics and supermundane truth is like quantum mechanics. But Buddha using meditation as a microscope realised the supramandane truth but we ordinary beings wouldn't understand it.just like Richard feyman who says if you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't.maybe this truth is beyond thoughts.

Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.

Merci. Many thanks to plum village and the honorable teacher. So, to those who have forgotten their question, ‘is there life after death’. Maybe this is the short answer: where there is life, there is death, both exist at the same time, yet ultimately life and death do not exist, there is no separation.
There is no honor in error this man is spewing. There is no death because Jesus destroyed it those who proclaim Jesus as God never die. This man steals answers inverts God’s ideas without giving God credit. Hell to this MAN. GOD ABOVE MAN.
wave example made this answer very much easy to understand.. thank you Thai..
Very beautifully explained, very beautiful. It's amazing how beautifully metaphors can capture that which is beyond.
Who really dies? Who really is born? Individual doesn't exist ultimately , individual is inter-being, but in the form of illusion (ego). Ultimately there is not individuality and this is the answer to many comments. This man is really enlighted and a sublime person. Thanks.
Great great answer! So clear and simple! Life and death cannot be separated.
Admittedly, this question has no easy answer - and all credit to the young ladies for remaining so focused when so lost. However, this is one of the questions upon which Buddha maintained his Noble Silence - I think it should be left at that.
All great teachers are like that because of the spiritual truth, the teacher can not simply give it to the students. if he answers yes to the question, the student learns nothing... He does not want the questioner to get caught between yes or no and clinging to it. He wants the searcher experienced the truth by herself...

Jesus said: If your leaders say to you, "Look! The Kingdom is in the sky!" Then the birds will be there before you are. Rather, the Kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
They asked him: When is the Kingdom coming? He replied: It is not coming in an easily observable manner. People will not be saying, "Look, it's over here" or "Look, it's over there." Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is already spread out on the earth, and people aren't aware of it. - Gospel of Thomas

I hate what God hates. When people think they know anything about life and death and exclude God from the context that is denial. This guru is not proclaiming Christ as the ultimate source of information. This guru thinks HE KNOWS. That’s extremely arrogant. He needs to give God credit where’s its due. Most of the world hates and denies Jesus you are in the dark. @Sammy Scotch
So divine, deep and peaceful! Namaste
This doesn’t explain how consciousness appears to begin at birth and end at death. The children weren’t asking whether the molecules in their bodies exist after death; they were asking whether their consciousness survives.
Thats because he him self doesen’t know the answer.
true but thats a question no human ever can answer. 🙏🏻
Brahman is Atman is Paramatman. Its all consciousness bro.. Tat Tvam Asi

In Buddhism you touch these questions deeply through personal insight and lots of practice. You learn through touching it in meditation. Words can only say so much.
I think if you ask a Tibetan Buddhist, he will just say "yes". I think if Thich Nhat Hanh believed "yes", he would say so. Instead, all this sounds like a qualifying "no". Like, "no, but really what you think of as life is not so simple". That's fine, but that's still a no, and it's a different answer from Tibetan Buddhism. Which - one may want to ask - why is that the case? Do Tibbetan Buddhists have different traditions or have they had different experiences?
Thich Nhat Nanh’s perspective is deep and touches the ultimate dimension of life. He said life energy follows the laws of energy. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed; thus, we are still around after we died physically. A cloud never dies; instead, it changes only its form of existence. So do we.
I think the question was referring to the survival of the personality or the body,as that is the level of understanding of the young girl.
If you dont know you are in fact "water" or Awareness, not a person, however old you are then his answer would have no meaning .
However the wave and water analogy was very good
.A wave is the same substance as the Ocean but a different shape,it is neither born or dies , water just has a little movement for a while and it thinks it is a wave, a person.
A person is just an idea in the mind based on life conditioning ,a mind construct.

I lived it in my Coma, I was able to survive into a new Being!
Hi,
How are you? I have one question how did you feel during Coma. It's like NDE?
Yes..how did coma feel?
@@GurpreetSingh-qr2mg no answer? 2 weeks??
@@yeshazion4098 Maybe she's in another coma.
Coma is not death!
You are not only the body, or the mind, or the ego. You are everything combine. If your body is made up of 65% of water. Then aren't you 65% of the whole ocean itself? So in a sense, you are not "inside" the universe. You "are" the universe who is experiencing itself, in a different perspective such as "me", "you" or "this car" or "that car". Everything is literally one single being. You can call it "god" or "the source" or "the universe" or "all that is", there are many names. God is not a seperated being from you.
The real you, which is the source of all things, don't die, It's more like you can't die, you just change forms. Can you really get rid of "water"? When water evaporated, it became air, when air became saturated, it became cloud, when cloud is condensed, it start raining down water, and the whole cycle repeated. You can never really completely get rid of "water" out of existence, because it will just change form no matter what you do with it. You are in fact, the same way. You don't die, you just recycle. That's where the idea of reincarnation are made.
. Even if we are all are just one singularity being at our core, we are living in a state of seperation , or duality , such as: I am seperated from you, you are seperated from me. When we each have individual thoughts, that is how realities are formed, when one thought collide with another.
Imagine if you live in a state of singularity with unity consciousness. In this singularity consciousness, you are living as if you are "everything at once". When you live in this state of singularity instead of duality, there wont be any individual thoughts, there wont be "my thoughts", there won't be "your thoughts", it will just be "our thoughts" always. There won't be any events happening because it won't be any individual "thoughts" collide with one another to make an "event". A whole relationship of 20 years would just happen in a snap of a finger because "time" or duration of manifesation will not exist in this unity consciousness. Unity consciousness, can be called the ending journey of the soul, or "death" for some people. It's a journey of going back to the source. When you are living in "unity consciousness", there will just be an eternal awareness of nothingness. Do you call it death? It's up to your judgement.
Nowday many people talk about how they want to get out of reincarnation cycle because it's full of suffering. Do you want to live an eternal life of nothingness? or do you rather live to experience "life", to love, to laugh, to suffer, and to growth, just so you can die and repeat it again. To live life in this state of duality, or seperation is a blessing of itself. :)
William Saekao well said
+The Sleuth's Report what are you even saying mate.. first of all you said you don't believe in life after death, yet you go looking for your father who have passed away..?
Second, when did i say god is nothingness? I clearly said that we are god, which is we are everything combine. You're proprably confused with the singularity consciousness that i stated. So you already know that we everything combine at our core, correct? But we are living in a 3 dimensional state, which is im seperated from you and you are seperated from me, but we are one at our core, so what do you think would happen if we are living as if we are all one? Aka the singularity consciousness? Life wouldn't happen with the singularity consciousness. Life only works with the duality consciousness that we are living right now, where 2 seperate thoughts form into a reality. I've astral travel my whole life so idk how that would help my claim but theres that, if you don't know what it is, just look it up.
+The Sleuth's Report oh no haha, what i was saying is, some people who is deep into the spiritual life, they think the world is full of suffering, so they want to stop the reincarnation cycle. If you stop the reincarnation cycle, which is your energy stop recycling, meaning you'll be living in the singularity consciousness, you'll be everything combine, which mean you won't be able to experience life, emotions, growth or anything like that. Where if you are living in duality, you get to experience what life has to offer, you get to experience emotions and all that good stuff. Singularity consciousness = you'll be nothing but an awareness.
+The Sleuth's Report I've done this in astral travelling and lucid dreaming actually. I don't know where we go when we die, but if it's to the astral world in astral travelling, life is much more fun there. Maybe when we die, we go to different dimensions where duality consciousness still applies, who knows. But to go back to the state of singularity is when your consciousness merge with the "source" or "god", but when does that happen, i have no idea. I've read some books that said it's the final lesson for the soul to go back to the source but yeah, i guess that's beyond our 3D perception right now
Stopping the reincarnation cycle not necessarily meaning living in singularity consciousness in Mahayana Buddha Dharma.People believe that many chan or Zen masters have already reached the stage of Bodhisatava meaning they have already stopped the rebirth cycle and which will lead you to the pure land.However in Vajrayana tradition if you have not achieved the status of higher lamas or Rinpoche you will go through the life cycle or rebirth continuously in different form depending on your karma .Only higher lamas and Rinpoche can be reborn as reincarnated being or enlighten being.
Excellent Teaching. Thank you, Pranams.
Rudolf Steiner wrote an excellent little book, actually a series of lectures on the topic of what specifically happens after death, called, 'The Inner Nature of Man: Our Life Between Death and Rebirth.'
Thank you. I enjoy Steiner. But was unaware of this lecture.
Best explanation I have ever heard.
Well i put it this way we are a thought form inhabiting a material body, we are all part of the life force called god =intelligent energy --most people cant remember the "place" we came from to experience life as a human, we are all heading toward enlightment thru different bodys and experiences =love and peace and true happiness!!!
A yes or no would suffice. He speaks like a politician, lots and lots of words but never gives a straight answer. What the students were wondering was if consciousness exists after the body dies. Does the “self” live after the body dies. All he had to say was “I don’t know”

I think she wanted to know whether life continued after death, that is be conscious of yourself after the physical death.
Consciousness continues, yes.
what is life? is a mental construction? is sensory perceptions? meditate
I'm not sure that little girl was happy with the answer that she was currently dying....
Of course that seems like the logical answer she was looking for. But what he was explaining was that from his Buddhist perspective, the question itself is wrong. She is already dead whilst being alive. Likewise, she is alive after what she perceives as, "death." The method of thinking she offers is in itself an inaccurate way of interpreting her life. She's asking the question from her religious/scientific perspective, that being that we were "born" when we were either conceived or physically birthed into the world. From the mindset of the practicing Buddhist, this question cannot be answered as such because the mentality accepts a falsehood from the onset. I think that's why he was trying to use metaphors to explain his perspective.
@thomas seven Nope. Consciousness is not a function of the brain but what animated the brain. Many have experienced consciousness without detectable brain activity.
The waves are not afraid anymore when she realizes that she is water and she is happy with present moment ❤️
in the beginning he says you are experiencing death and birth, althought the transformation part was really profound and it opened my eyes in one way, as he goes on he continues to say you can not die, and there is no such thing as death. this is confusing to adults let alone children.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy neither created nor destroyed only transforms from one form into the other. This law is called the conservation of energy. This also applies to the psyche. The mind was never created no will it be destroyed just transformation from one form into the other.

You completely missed the point.
The answer is given directly by the Buddha repeatedly in the sutras, e.g. the Majjhima Nikaya, hell realms, brahma realms, devas, 31 planes of existence, etc.

If this monk speaks like this in thailand, he would be thrown out of sangha. Buddha clearly mentioned six realms of rebirth. Buddha taught more about heavens and hell realms than ither religion. And this monk never once mentioned this to his followers throughout his life.
@@surendrasharma1798 That is the answer who need heaven and hell. Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism are literally mounted on the belief if eternal being. If you need sutras, there is still some realization to do.
He is not "this monk". He is Thay, he is single-handedly responsible for spreading Buddhism to West in times of trouble. He received a Nobel along with MLK. It speaks volumes of his character and understanding. Try not to disparage what you do not understand.
But when you die today ,
everything about you and the knowledge acquired in this life , your name and gender will cease immediately.
Nobody knows your next life including yourself.
Be kind and enjoy your life to the fullest and also be generous to your parents everyday. Do not worry about afterlife but do well in this life by helping people.Your contribution to society is most important than personal meditation.
Rest in peace
Most if not all genuine Spiritual teachers do not answer the question; the question is do WE survive death.
It might be an ego-based question, but I smile and know that they won't answer this (although I haven't yet got to the end of this video yet)
I think no and yes; the Something goes on but the person folds back into that something...

continuity vs consciousness. Maybe a better framing is, conscious is just a tool to be used now, and a new one will be given next time. Our life is a journey and consciousness is a tool used for now. The problem is to think that consciousness should be privileged into something that has a rebirth. Where in reality there is one collective universal consciousness and when we are born, we receive a small bowl that can collect a few drops of the water and then when we die the bowl returns to clay to be built for the next incarnation.
Even if a person is a progenitor of an amazing thought, that person would still have the imagination to know that it is not important for him or her to maintain a personal memory of this deed, past the length of their lifetime. But rather it gets shared and returned into the collective for the edification of all. Rinse and repeat. For the average person, we just borrow our thoughts and words. Someone else says and thinks those thoughts more eloquently, so release yourself from the collected burden at the end and await the next incarnation.
we are life, we stay alive, after ‘death’, life is us, we can’t be anything else, we don’t need to be afraid of death because we are life in every form, so also the ‘death’ form
Life is the beginning of Death so we go back to where we were before we were alive... 🐛🦋
There's an underlying structure to reality that through emergence arose consciousness, which created itself as the universe.
@@peaceonearth351 so we have allways been and for ever will be yes there is life after death I will never forget the time this man gave his life for us... His name is Jesus
It's called the Law of Opposites.
Everything in the universe has its opposites. For example, a negatively charged electron must have a positively charged proton to balance it out.
Indeed, matter itself has antimatter as its opposite.
Opposites interplay in order to make existence possible.
This truth is actually useful in our everyday life:
If you encounter scarcity, you know that abundance must follow because one cannot exist without the other.
It's the Law of Existence itself therefore if you experience bad things in life, don't fret.
You can be sure great things will follow!
Douglas Wayne Bible,John 6: 35,40,47-48; 8:51: “Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. The will of Him who sent Me is that whoever sees the Son and believes in Himm has life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Truly, truly, I say to you: he who believes in Me has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Truly, truly I say to you: whoever keeps My word will never see death. "

Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
I want him to live forever.

love him♡
I have a lot of respect for his wisdom but no one has really been able to answer the question of life after physical death. No one really knows. There is no way to know until we actually go thru it.
Every religious book or philosophical theory differs on the topic. All science can confirm is how the body deteriorates after death or how a life is created/birthed. That's it.
Love this man. Can somebody help please. What about consciousness though? Our physical bodies may continue as part of the cosmic body like waves and clouds do but what about the consciousness within our bodies? I think that’s where the fear of death comes from, losing the consciousness that allows us to experience. Please could somebody advise?
See Threefold Lotus Kwoon vids from Nichiren Buddhist perspective - which says, no our consciousness expires but Buddha nature is forever.
This is where deep meditation comes in You will find the answer in meditating on your question I promise
@@lisamac8503 thank you. Since I wrote this comment a year ago I now understand that I am infinite consciousness and that I am eternal. I cannot lose what I am. After this body dies, I remain. Thank you x
If there is day there is night. If life there is death. Important is being alive do good karma. That will help u both this life n next life.
This seed my soul thank you 🧡🦋🧘🏻❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺
Still quite mystic for me ... i never ask myself if there is life after death, because when i die it is the end, even if TNH says that i am something else... it doesn't matter, i don't care to be something else. I just see that i am no more with my familiy and they can't be with me any more. That is suffering ... So enjoy the present.
Death creates a Void - the person who was with us won't be available in flesh and blood.Yes,you are right Zen Master that Birth & Death are inseparable.
Only those attached will remain in whatever form they are in, detachment is liberation.
he said it better than anyone in the world thats why the zen buddhist traditions is supreme to all other reliigionsss

We are God's dreams experiencing themselves subjectively...:)
@Daniel Paulson "We"? :-) God/Brahman or The Universal One as Walter Russell calls it must have created itself.
@Daniel Paulson God of Abraham? I don't know what you are talking about... Are far as I have understood you could call God Brahman as well as Tao or The Universal One as Walter Russell called it.
Life is so crazy. Praise God.
