Hi, greeting from Jakarta, Indonesia. I am a Buddhism Practitioner. Agree with her speech, Buddhism is not just a religion, but it is a way of life, which called Dhamma (in Pali) or Dharma (In Sanskrit). You have to practice it in your everyday life. Buddhism never force somebody to believe it until you come and see for yourself, which called Ehipassiko (Come and Prove it). Hopefully someday, we can invite her to have a dhammadesana (spiritual speech) in Indonesia.
Active duty Navy, I found myself surrounded by marines. I fought to the best of my ability. You are a fighter just as I am, Buddhism has saved me. We owe nothing yet we owe everything. Siddhartha would never ask for anything from us. We survived.
I’m active duty female marine, and I’ve found I’ve come to desire and perfect half of these practices without even knowing about Buddhism. Looking forward to doing more.
Much respect to this woman. Sacrifices are what makes you a buddhist. Its hard but to see a woman of endless possibility strive for something else than monetary gain is astounding. You are awakened. You have become Buddha
It seems that leaving everything behind isn't a sacrifice, it's running away from responsibilities. I'd love to become a Buddha right now but who's going to do everything I have to do. I can't even go shopping as I'm needed 24/7 every single day. How becoming a Buddha can help the society? I really don't know anything about it. I thought it was a religion but people here say it isnt, it's a way of life.
@@glorifythyname7777 nature of life and humans have always been created by ourselves nothing else. Believing god sometimes limits the factual beliefs of science. science is fact and god is religious faith. Can’t compare the two
I visited bhutan in 2018, I just loved that country soo much, so much of peace everywhere, clean and pure air, waters , atmosphere and everybody is so happy to help each other, no noise and pollution, just a great country
Thank you for sharing your personal journey into Buddhism. I think as interest in Buddhism grows in the west, that people will seek out stories like yours. It's great to hear someone passionately speak about what matters to them. It encourages people who are on their own journey (like myself). Great talk!

Unfortunately, I was born in the US, and first was introduced to NSA Buddhism in 1981, and that did not satisfy my needs. When I journeyed to Thailand in 1983, I discovered Theravada, and from that point, I determined to BE Theravada, and someday live in a Theravada Temple (WAT) in Thailand. In 2010, I achieved that goal.
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.

(May 19th, 1939, Albert Einstein’s speech on "Science and Religion" in Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A.)
You are entitled to your opinion, however I do not believe one religion is better than another. I love Christianity, I don’t believe it is superior to Buddhism. The bible has some of the greatest teachings I’ve ever encountered. Jesus was the kindest most giving man that ever walked the planet. That being said, I do like Buddhism. All religions point to the same God. We are all connected, we are all one.
I am a Theravada Buddhist from Bangladesh, a south east asian country. I do believe that there is no difference in different schools of Buddhism as all schools aim at the final target, Nirvana in different ways.
How are Buddhists treated in predominantly Muslim Bangladesh? I visited Bangladesh in 1990. Didn't notice much of a Buddhist presence, if any. There was a small Christian presence in Chittagong.
there many buddhist by birth....bangladesh is not like other muslim majority country...there is freedom of choice. and government always take care of minority religion..
@Atheist of course they know...currently I am studying in Canada.. and I live with my friends..and they are Muslims... not all people are same as you think..
Buddhism helps to learn the reality about the purpose of this life, that is earned by us via "Karma". We have earned a short span of time in this life - in that we have to self realize, find ourselves. Its "Damma" is a full and complete narration of the existence. Like presented here, it is well rooted and described in depth in all South Asian Nations, the monks are well versed and capable of sharing its wisdom with those who are keen to find the path to "Enlightenment".
I was touched with how your whole path made sense in the great scheme of things and how you use your skills for the good you bring to the world. Thank you for the teaching Emma!
@@dolliarama I'm also from the Philippines and very into Buddhism. I was born Catholic and now an agnostic but there is about buddhism that speaks a lot of who am I. I wanted to learn, like I'm hungry of it and I want to live a life of peace, compassion and in the moment. However, I don't know how to start? Please help me.

Anybody can be a Buddhist and one doesn’t have to give up your worldly belongings. But once one understands the philosophy of Buddhism they no longer mean that much to you. Some adherents give up almost all of them but others just get emotionally detached to material things. One will gain great insight into the silly things and emotions that drive their actions.
Very interesting! I've slowly been awakening which is difficult living in the uk, I'm realising our minds are troubled. Our government an media are trying to imprison our minds through the current climate. I think we all need to be shown the way🙏
How can i learn as much as she did about the mind , at how to understand it and be one with it as when i was younger? I have OCD and need learn to have peace
You might like to start by observing yourself,your body sensations,thoughts,emotions etc A simple theravadan tool for this is to place your body in a safe,quiet,not unpleasant place, Then focus your attention on your stomach rising and falling,with your breath ...just pay attention without trying to change anything Distractions will come such as thoughts,sensations etc,which you just mentally note/categorise For example if thoughts arise you note it as thinking If emotions arise you note this as emotion Whatever the distraction after noting you return your attention to the stomach rising and falling And that is about it There are several forms of meditation ...but the above helped me Good luck
@@mojo5093 This is a vile recommendation. Never take any substance as ailment for any mental disorder. Find a cognitive behavioral therapist that specializes in OCD and put healthy coping mechanisms into practice. It's appalling that's someone would sooner recommend drugs than treatment by a psychologist. Best of luck OP, stay safe.
@@DokiDokiDoku The medical community is behind the times when it comes to mental health and psychedelics due to corrupt politicians and government bureaucracy of the 60s. Do some research for yourself. Study after study is coming out showing the psychedelics are one of the most powerful tools we have for unlocking the mind and treating a wide ailment of disorder such as depression, anxiety, PTSD. Look up the John Hopkins psilocybin studies for starters.
@@chad5617 I'm well aware of the benefits and well aware of the studies. It's what I do every day. People tend to disregard the negatives of psychedelics in order to appear new age and trendy. Regardless of the possible positive outcomes from using psychedelics as treatment it's important for people to meet with a licensed psychiatrist before consuming anything. In many cases psychedelics can worsen conditions or give someone new symptoms like anxiety and even something as severe as schizophrenia with using LSD. Op whatever you do, be safe and steer clear of misinformation. The use of psychedelics as a therapeutic substance is still a new topic and hasn't been researched fully. If you are tempted to try it make sure that you first receive approval from a licensed psychiatrist.
Lord Buddha Buddhist practice starts by taking refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Whereas Gitaji(18.62) says the Ultimate truth! "Surrender exclusively unto him(Supreme God). By his grace, you will attain perfect peace and the eternal abode".
Change~the ultimate opt to out, be free as all is a sort of transportation, to carry us beyond our present place in real time...trasatory, impermanent human existence has but one "antidote for PTSD" ~LOVE~May Buddha bless us all~
Scientific analysis? Dude, just say guidances aren't against science. In fact, religion is nothing to do with science. I mean no religion is about science.
What tickles me about western men and women is that they decide to become monks in their late 50s and 60s and so on in their elder years after they've lived their younger lives partying and enjoying life,then they make the big decision. It's very different in Buddhist countries when they do it at a very young age 20s and less even.
you say ''partying and enjoying life'' like that is the right way to live your young years. but what I have realised that those kinds of people are the emptiest.. There is a reason here in the west young people are so depressed, anxious and stressed. and I'm one of them. I would much rather live life in a more peaceful way, surrounded with nature and peaceful people. But instead I'm surrounded by chaos.

I am a student of Tibetan Buddhism (Sakya) but I wonder if it’s for me or whether my path is that of Zen. I worry about the spiritual materialism and the school of Mahayana I am a sangha member of. Our Lama is wonderful though.
sandeep r I don’t have the time to explain it in any great depth- research a bit more if you’re interested. There are 4 major ‘schools of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism- Ngyingma, Sakyapa, Kaguyu and Gelukpa. Zen, in Japan, and Chan in China, were introduced into these regions by either Indian practitioners (or those from the Himalayan regions) and the Chinese and Japanese then adopted and adapted Buddhism to fit in with their other cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices.
You don't need to go anywhere, friend. Buddhism starts within yourself. You don't need to go to temple or anything to practice meditation and mindfulness (some key principles in Buddhism). As for books, I recommend anything from Thich Nhat Hanh, a well-renowned buddhist monk who was actually nominated for a Nobel Peace prize by Martin Luther King Jr. For starters, maybe you can read "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation" by Thich Nhat Hanh. He's also written a number of other books, all of which you can order from Amazon. Good luck on your path.

Distractions will come such as thoughts,sensations etc,which you just mentally note/categorise
For example if thoughts arise you note it as thinking
If emotions arise you note this as emotion
Whatever the distraction after noting you return your attention to the stomach rising and falling
And that is about it
There are several forms of meditation ...but the above helped me
Good luck
try microdosing psychedelics
do the research to learn more
@@mojo5093 This is a vile recommendation. Never take any substance as ailment for any mental disorder. Find a cognitive behavioral therapist that specializes in OCD and put healthy coping mechanisms into practice.
It's appalling that's someone would sooner recommend drugs than treatment by a psychologist. Best of luck OP, stay safe.
@@DokiDokiDoku The medical community is behind the times when it comes to mental health and psychedelics due to corrupt politicians and government bureaucracy of the 60s. Do some research for yourself. Study after study is coming out showing the psychedelics are one of the most powerful tools we have for unlocking the mind and treating a wide ailment of disorder such as depression, anxiety, PTSD. Look up the John Hopkins psilocybin studies for starters.
@@chad5617 I'm well aware of the benefits and well aware of the studies. It's what I do every day. People tend to disregard the negatives of psychedelics in order to appear new age and trendy. Regardless of the possible positive outcomes from using psychedelics as treatment it's important for people to meet with a licensed psychiatrist before consuming anything. In many cases psychedelics can worsen conditions or give someone new symptoms like anxiety and even something as severe as schizophrenia with using LSD.
Op whatever you do, be safe and steer clear of misinformation. The use of psychedelics as a therapeutic substance is still a new topic and hasn't been researched fully. If you are tempted to try it make sure that you first receive approval from a licensed psychiatrist.
Lord Buddha
Buddhist practice starts by taking refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
Whereas Gitaji(18.62) says the Ultimate truth!
"Surrender exclusively unto him(Supreme God). By his grace, you will attain perfect peace and the eternal abode".
Her words really touch my heart....Sadhu...Sadhu...Sadhu
What a beautiful soul
Change~the ultimate opt to out, be free as all is a sort of transportation, to carry us beyond our present place in real time...trasatory, impermanent human existence has but one "antidote for PTSD" ~LOVE~May Buddha bless us all~

POA if she found out who is that. I am sure she will surely be happy to be hear that complement
Love the methafhor of the flower it's grow in the mud and grows to found the light.
Buddhism is deviod of dogma and theories. It teaches about rational and scientific analysis
Scientific analysis?
Dude, just say guidances aren't against science.
In fact, religion is nothing to do with science.
I mean no religion is about science.
I found too much peace now.Bhuddham Sharanam gcchhammmmi
The Buddha and Zarathustra can show us the way to a Compassionate and a honest Life.
I like the pauses between a sentence as she speaks
So peaceful
There is so much different philosophies in Buddhism or Dhamm.
All solutions of life in this ☑️☑️☑️
May Buddha bless you. Yes, you are the lotus flower. Glad that you have found Buddhism.
Great lama Emma slaid buudhism is great rilgon 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What tickles me about western men and women is that they decide to become monks in their late 50s and 60s and so on in their elder years after they've lived their younger lives partying and enjoying life,then they make the big decision. It's very different in Buddhist countries when they do it at a very young age 20s and less even.
you say ''partying and enjoying life'' like that is the right way to live your young years. but what I have realised that those kinds of people are the emptiest.. There is a reason here in the west young people are so depressed, anxious and stressed. and I'm one of them. I would much rather live life in a more peaceful way, surrounded with nature and peaceful people. But instead I'm surrounded by chaos.
batman 😂😂😂
Perhaps in the West we must experience who we are not before we can remember who we are.
Amazing . Thank you for believing in Buddhism .
You must listen to her advice to relieve your relaxed awakening soul to the everlasting
Btw there is no soul in it
1) every action has a reaction
2) punishment and reward
Every oposite thing made for a reason
Mahatma Buddha says that God does not get by fasting
then how does God get?
पूर्ण ब्रह्म कबीर देवः aur ache se btaye khul kr bat kree vo bhagwan kese nhi thee
पूर्ण ब्रह्म कबीर देवः aur kon hai God
parmatma vo hai jisne sristi ki rkhna ki aur fir hum logo ko apni bani se gyan bhi diya. oska gyan sbhi sastro se bilkul mail khata hai jaise ke vedo se geeta se guru granth saheb aur bibal se bhi
पूर्ण ब्रह्म कबीर देवः जी है और कोई नही
Kuch bhi??
She's so beautiful.. inside and out.
I am a zen student of Mahayana
I am a student of Tibetan Buddhism (Sakya) but I wonder if it’s for me or whether my path is that of Zen.
I worry about the spiritual materialism and the school of Mahayana I am a sangha member of.
Our Lama is wonderful though.
sandeep r I don’t have the time to explain it in any great depth- research a bit more if you’re interested.
There are 4 major ‘schools of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism- Ngyingma, Sakyapa, Kaguyu and Gelukpa.
Zen, in Japan, and Chan in China, were introduced into these regions by either Indian practitioners (or those from the Himalayan regions) and the Chinese and Japanese then adopted and adapted Buddhism to fit in with their other cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices.
Thanks for enlighten the world
Respect!
This talk deserved a better audience.
She says just like the buddhist woman from "Doctor Strange" film.
Have you noticed it too?

People can look quite similar when totally shaved and wearing the same garb
@@alexanderadavar6439 I'm talking about a manner of speech and not about the way of looking. So your comment if irrelevant.
I am Buddhist and Hindu by birth and choice because my birthplace is boodhgaya. And daily in my life went to Hindu and Buddhist temple
got run over at 3 by a car realised i was mortal by 4 cause of this changed everything
Namo Buddhaya... The awakened one who tought the truth, the law of the Universe "Cause and Effect" to all the lost beings.
Where can i go and become a
Buddhist.
You don’t have to go anywhere. But you could go to temples to get started. I suggest reading some books
vipin chandra 😁
Rhiannon Sacks any books you could recommend.
You don't need to go anywhere, friend. Buddhism starts within yourself. You don't need to go to temple or anything to practice meditation and mindfulness (some key principles in Buddhism). As for books, I recommend anything from Thich Nhat Hanh, a well-renowned buddhist monk who was actually nominated for a Nobel Peace prize by Martin Luther King Jr. For starters, maybe you can read "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation" by Thich Nhat Hanh. He's also written a number of other books, all of which you can order from Amazon. Good luck on your path.
Just don’t go knocking on buddhist cults.if you want to be sure,stick with Dalai Lama🙏
On mani padme Hum
It was so wonderful to hear you sing

Do try to reach the state of *Buddha's Nivarna* - that a person is free and who is strong enough to say _whatever comes I accept as best_
Thank for sharing, amithabha 🙏
What's I am learning in Buddha

'Emma was previously a successful investment banker'. Well it was either this or starting a craft brewery, I suppose, then ;)
Proud to born in Buddhist family
thanks a million to you for sharing your out of this world experience with us!Please tell me how to be a monk like you?
Just run away from life
What Buddhism teach, is the nature of nature, how to take control of your mind, your nature.
All ladies in the world please be like her.. are you agree with me?
Needs to learn Buddhism then
That is my favorite ted talk to date
