ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
ABOUT US
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.

thank you Swami ji for sharing the Buddha wisdom :)
I love that he talks about the Buddhadhamma. Sometimes the vedantists have a better context for the Buddha’s teachings than we get in Buddhist traditions because the Buddha used the language of those traditions that existed prior to and during his own life.
The Swami speaks about the four sites the Bodhisattwa saw. I have visited and videographed these four sites.
I think the Buddhists and Vedantins have much more in common than they care to admit.
I no longer classify myself as either.
Love Swami Sarvapriyananda's teachings. He is such a great scholar and teacher.
And linguist. I love him.
I was going to say we'll put to the first guy but your addition tops it off
Scholar, teacher and linguist

As a Buddhist , also studying the Vedantas, it was very informative to get a perspective of Buddhism from yourself, Swami. What is evident is that at the core, the path to awakening are the same in all spiritual philosophies with slightly different nuances. Regarding the word suffering , although correct, it feels slightly more positive to think of it as unsatisfactory. Because on a mundane, day to day level, we are dissatisfied, disappointed or discontented that our desires and expectations are not being fulfilled or at the way things are, rather than suffering which we do in certain scenarios! 🙏🏾
Path out of samsara into pure true nature or moksha
for buddhists, only 8 fold path is the true path. so do you find this in all philosophies?
All religions worship something outside of the sense something not material they are all trying to penetrate to the self,atma ,wich is everpresent omnipotent but because of ignorance or wrong beliefs wrong ideas about the existence we think that we don’t know the atma. You could say it is covered by wrong ideas.
@@Amorhoo you only find 8fold path? Not find illusion of doctrine of sense object and self and lokas just like dream?
Probably you don't understand Buddha's teaching
I couldn't agree more Anna.
I go to Buddhist meditation centre in Dharamshala every year to listen to discourses. Listening to you was quite refreshing
May all beings be happy and their pain destroyed
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏 🙏
I have also completed three 10 day courses of Vipassana as well as one Satipatthana as taught by S. N. Goenka BUT Advaita Vedanta or Nagarjuna Emptiness or Nondualism is ULTIMATE.
Without realising Emptiness or Fullness (Poonam or Brahman) OR Nonduality, Vipassana too becomes mechanical or I say that Vipassana meditators are also Workoholics (like Raja Yogi in Hinduism) and they are not effortless type and hence they are also far from the satisfaction in Life. Goenka was not able to dictate effortless meditation on Nonduality AFTER Vipassana although he taught Compassion (in place of Apathy) which is not ultimate.
Goenka was unique and supreme in my view, of course, in the field of Meditation indeed BUT after sometime effortless in Life is supreme in my view.
I do research on Buddhism in Bihar. The Swami speaks about the four sites the Bodhisattwa saw. I have visited and videographed these four sites.
The way he explained it took me to another world. He is a real gem in this era.
From Dr R.L.Mittal Padma Shri awardee:
I love Swami Sarvapriyananda's teachings. He is such a great scholar and teacher.

What a great knowledge and simplified explanation. Siddhartha Gautam was the scientist who decoded mysteries of universe, vibrations and frequencies. Great teachings and philosophy indeed.
"This video is a great source of motivation for making the most of life."
How in the world do you remember all of this, Swamiji? This was a wonderful exposition on the topic.
Ikr? From the Upanishads to Victorian poetry, from ancient Greek philosophy to modern positive psychology, this man seems to have everything at his fingertips.
This is the power of Bramhacharya.
Yes, he's amazing.
Prolly read a lot of books and churned the knowledge on the truth . He was a true seeker . He finally found it and Sharing with others :)
He has been a scholar at Harvard
🙏🙏🙏
This is a wonderful talk on Buddhas central Teachings.
@28:00 the "8 types of sufferings" mentioned here is how The Buddha first described the Noble Truth of Suffering in His first discourse " Dhamma chakka pavattana sutta" . There He said, " jatipi dukkha ( birth is suffering), jarapi dukkha ( old age us suffering), vyadipi dukkha ( sickness is suffering) maranampi dukkham( death is suffering), appiyehi sampayogo dukkho ( being with the unpleasant is suffering), piyehi vippayogo dukkho( separation from what's pleasant is dukkha), yam pichcham na labhati thampi dukkham ( not getting wishes fulfilled is suffering) and sankhittena panchupadanakhanda dukkha ( in short, the 5 aggregates are suffering)
In another sutta ( Sacca Vibhanga sutta) these terms are further described . for instance, what's birth, what's death etc, all at the empirical level.
Namaste . Blessings in the Light! 🙏
I have studied four noble truths by different masters. This is the best? Thank you Sawmiji.
Thank you for this teaching. As a Buddhist, I appreciate the explanation regarding atman according to Advaita teachings. I understand this better now.
Thank you for this wonder-filled talk. I gained much insight. Jai Guru
🙏 Om Namoh Bhagavaté Sri Ramakrishnaye 🙏...
Thanks to my guru here, I was directed to your TH-cam talks Swamiji, and finally told that Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamasa is my real Guru
Thank you, your talks have lot of clarity and are beautiful, I feel blessed that I get to listen to you🙏
I really connect with Buddhism.❤
"Suffering is pervasive.
Not that there is happiness and suffering, but even happiness is suffering."
Almost!The attachment to Happiness causes suffering. Experience Happiness, know it as an emotion , allow it to pass.
While I understand this , it's still hard to not embrace these emotional states as they arise.
" The path to selflessness is the surrender which is no surrender " ~ Ram Dass
@@joshfloyd7755 Thanks for the clarification!!

you suffer from yourselves, none else compels - I think that was Ramana Maharishi

Thank you Swamiji for yet another wonderful talk. The fact that you often quote the masters like Bhagavan Buddha, Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananada makes me feel like we know all of them and they are still very much alive in this era (through their teachings of course). I feel truly blessed to have been born in this generation, where we have remote access to such profound knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for all your efforts in trying to share this knowledge with everyone. Also, thank you for getting us closer to this source of knowledge.😇🙏🏼

A very complete explanation of the four noble truths, presented in great detail and clarity. Wonderful
Thank you so much for such an inspirational video
Love this talk! It has allowed me to see suffering as an inevitability and somehow I feel liberated by that. Also him saying Buddhism is analytical makes sense i was drawn to it.
Truth is the totality of life which cannot be denied 🙏🌸🙏🌸🙏
Such a simple man with large amount of knowledge.
Thank you so much swamiji🙏
Swami ji, Sarvapriyanand, you R brilliant! The path of the Buddha, so reveared, still too often, comprehended mysterious somehow, - with the nothingness an all that. Thank U, 4 clarification. Thank you!
A man once approached a monk and said "I want happiness". The monk replied "remove the I and the WANT and you are left with happiness". Brilliant video by the way.
The Swami speaks about the four sites the Bodhisattwa saw. I have visited and videographed these four sites.
Beautiful exposition integration yet understanding of Advaita and Lord Buddha's teachings. Blessed to hear him.

One of the best teachers of the dharma without a doubt
I am amazed to hear His explanation about Buddha’s fourth Noble Truths with His clear deep realisation.

“The soul has an infinite geometry,
It’s a beautiful singularity,
If you want to understand nothingness,
Just try to solve for 1/x” - Nanda Menon
This reconciles the Buddhist and Vedantin concepts
I can listen to this any numbers of times- so uplifting
I really appreciate him pointing out that we're insulated from suffering. Suffering can be such an isolating experience because people avert their eyes.
Swami ji please conduct a retreat on Kashmiri-shaivism and Tantra.
Yes,I was also thinking the same..
@@captainnemo1606 🙏
Yes...this is my earnest request also. Shivasutra of Vasugupta.
I would very much appreciate a video on Kashmir Shavisim myself.
Also a video regarding artificial consciousness.

Great Guruji
Swami , you are amazing and explained it very well - take care
Thank you very much Swami
Pranam Swamiji🙏. What a brilliant lecture ! So wonderful to hear about the Christian monk giving so many pearls which are so apt after more than 17 centuries. 🙏🙏
Wonderful and very deep talk, every time I listen it improves my understanding and clarity. Thanks for sharing this lecture.
Thank you Swami ji 🙏
I feel blessed to hear your voice which inspires me more ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My birth has spiritual desire 🌹🌹🌹🌹
It is indeed nice to listen to Swami Sarbapriyanandaji
Stunning. Clear, warm, insightful. And did everyone notice the prescription for understanding suffering sounded just like the prescription for understanding vedanta -- hear, reflect upon and finally own it. I really appreciate when Hinduism embraces Buddhism like this and I know, Buddhists such as the Dalai Lama always give praise to all the Hindu traditions for their contributions to Buddhism, in the first instance of it's inception but also throughout the history of the religion. Interestingly to date no one has formulated a more universal and universally true formulation for dealing with suffering than the Buddha. All of psychiatry and psychology are riffs on radical acceptance of he four noble truths. Swami delivers thee goods once again.
Extraordinary power of explaining the truth as though it is simple. I shall treasure this lecture all my life. Pranam to the Buddha, pranam to Swamiji.
Saader Naman Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you guruji...🙏🙏🙏
