this is such a wonderful story! really well made. helps remind me to focus on the 8thfold noble path and stop striving worldly things. I really hope more people see this and comment!
Lord Buddha was the epitome of loving, kindness, and sympathy towards all the living beings. This story showing The Great Lord Buddha talking negative about all women is misleading... San Fran Dhammaram folks should get it corrected at the earliest.
Most people won't understand the importance of this video or this jataka. But I do. Among the five precepts, there is one which says, to restrain from sexual misconduct. This precept also include the restraining of falling in love with a married man or a woman i.e. not to have intimate relation with another person after marriage. This jataka highlights so.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I learnt that for some, the company of the wise as an immensely transforming effect - as with the bandits in the presence of the Bodhisattva but with others, even in the company of the wise, they do not change their evil ways. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
i see a lot of people chalking this story as an expression of misogyny, i disagree. this story i think is simply trying to say that love is a distraction from your suffering and has a tendency to be unhealthy. especially with the wrong person. the inability to let go will cause you more suffering. regardless of gender.

Where is the teaching that if you fall for a treacherous woman it is because of your own karma. Buddhism teaches that no-thing and no-one has a nature by it self. Nobody can experience someone as treacherous if the did not create the karma to experience this.
This also causes Mahayana to be more acceptable than Theravada in some countries, world statistic also shows both Mahayana and Tantrayana have greater number of followers than Theravada. Perhaps because of this misconception about women.
Because we don’t see our past lives, it can seem like that but we can accept that there is so much that we don’t know and we should seek out the arahats or Ariya for clarification for what seems confusing.
Depends on your definition of treachery! If treachery seems to you to only break relationship vows, then not all are treacherous because not all get the opportunity to break the vow without any repercussions! Buy potentially they all are treacherous! Stop simping and accept the truth!
Just a humble request,generalizing all women as treacherous isn't right,they are also creators and the world wouldn't procreate without women, they are also mothers, sisters and daughters 🙏
Then you have not understood the story properly! If ALL women are vile then what about princess Yasodhara? It means that women can easily tempt a man into sin, sometimes even without realizing it themselves. Therefore, one should be careful not to be tempted. It is not "problematic", it isn't bashing women, because a woman's body has evolved to be desirable to a man, a woman can be treacherous. It's not a woman's fault for possessing such a body.
@@nsjayathilaka212 It is bashing women. One can't be treacherous and innocent at the same time. " Tempting w/o knowing " u said! Yes that's possible. But as long as she upholds loyalty, treacherous can't be the word that describes them; far from it, in fact quite opposite!
This story degrades the women of high and noble qualities altogether. Women herself is totally associated with evil qualities No respect for her. How can this be an enlightening story? Just like some women are treacherous and ungrateful There are men like that too.. I wonder did the enlightened one give such baised talks? Then that must not be called an enlightened one..i feel the story is changed to suit the taste of patriarchy. I remember another story where Buddha talked in a neutral way. When a prostitute was blamed all alone and seen as evil for society. Buddha said when we clap two hands only..sound would come..he pointed out the flaw of men who went to the prostitute who are not ashamed to blame only the prostitute. Such is the enlightening story not this. It may cultivate negatives thoughts about women among men..and may create tension in the society. Buddha would definitely not want it. All the other things are fine except the portrayal of women itself means evil. And i feel so bad that nobody talked abt this in the comment section
In btw..please dont take that kiss emoji as a kiss of destruction bz it comes from me(a girl)..i have to tell this..bz the story has portrayed that women's love in the sense means altogether dangerous and will lead to suffering..by not considering the great love of rest of the women totally..without that u and i wouldn't have born thru our parents..ur mother must had love for ur father and ur father must had love for ur mother right..hope u understand what im trying to say.. Sorry if im not clear
@@shrinidhykbv If all woman was innately treacherous and evil, then everyone one who came in contact with them would have hate them..But since it's not like that..If I like someone it doesn't necessarily mean everyone will like them... If I hate someone that doesn't necessarily mean everyone will hate them.. Gautama Buddha taught all sentient beings have buddha nature which is pure and perfect, it's their ignorance that they don't recognize this pure nature of themselves. Once we realize it experientially we will see everyone is Buddha.. To attain ultimate enlightenment one must go beyond any dualistic notions. Buddhism also teach us that one must always remember and take care one's mother and father, it will be cruel to leave them suffer in this samsara and just free oneself, one must realize the unconditional love of one's mother..And only by freeing them from this cyclic existence one can repay their kindness..
‘Women are ungrateful and treacherous’, are those words really have been spoken by the Buddha? I mean i have seen many situations to be like that but is it really good to judge another human like that?
Lol! Why is that judgement not good? Because judgement is not massaging your ego? Grow up! Religion is there so people know the truth. And not so people hear some sugarcoated feel good nonsense about themselves!
This is a false Jataka. Many stories were attributed to the Buddha which were not from him. This is clearly one. These occurred because the monks of the past had their own agendas and beliefs.
@@thebloxygamer7287 because his mommy and GF told him that he must ensure others don't drop truths bombs on him about them to get him disenchanted from them.
Not actually, joker. It's due to honestly acknowledging the truth about VV0men's nature! All religions proclaim that because it is the truth! BTW, all religions didn't originate in India FYI!
The Jataka actually is asking you to be against lust and sensual desires. Some of the statements are lost in translation these stories were orally recited for 500-600 years and than written down 2000 years back or so. You can understand how old these stories are, so possibility of distortion is very high.
@@Richdadful !Diot, Buddha himself didn't allow VVaamyen to enter into Sangha. This proves that this jataka was was not at all being distorted as Buddha himself doesn't contradict this message with how he treated VVaamyen in his personal/social life. But rather substantiates it! Btw, What hard prove do you have to say so dramatically that the Jataka was distorted other your hypothetical conjectures? What makes you think this jataka doesn't reflect on reality of how VVaamyen are?
@@Richdadful 🅱️∆st∆πd, Buddha's aim was to try to speak the truth to his followers. And not to speak feel-good unrealistic BS just because it soothes your ears and reaffirms your biases! The purpose of religion isn't to confirm your attachment to Maya and please your emotional senses(which you kind of admitted in your comments although don't understand what that actually means), trucker. But to only let the TRUTH be known to you so you can move ahead of your attachments, including the attachment you have to the idealistic idea of how VVahmyn are and how we should behave towards them.
Trust me, I haven't seen a TH-cam channel like this before...,,,
I love when difficult truths are given air to breathe.
Your stories seem like the Buddha is speaking through you, through the stories. … Thank you for your kind effort.

Most men have felt this way in life...not all women are treacherous, sinful though🤔 that's a wrong view 😶
Yes not all but to teach the monk blinded by passion for women the story was an example
@@study-su1gc indeed, the parallels are clear, as he too was overwhelmed by a woman... not all are so, as he talks of good women as well.

@@adamsconnected5613 potentially virtuous? Lol! Not actually, bucko! Because to be potentially virtuous they ought to not submit to their greed first!
I disagree, it is wrong to blame others for your own failings
Music too loud
@watsanfran can you please pin my comment it should help clarify the lesson and prevent discord in the comments.
