We cannot escape samsara, “ there is no samsara to escape’.Samsara and nirvana are one and the same, they are identical. The goal is to escape ignorance. To see one’s true nature, and peek into the nature of reality . Samsara is an illusion and so is nirvana. Reality is none other than mind ( The Lankavatara Sutra ). There is no separation between subjective and object. Subject and object are identical. It is habit energy that keeps us caught in the cycle, along with the idea of individuality and having an ego self. Karma is habit energy which keeps us in the cycle of perpetual existence, perpetual rebirth. (The Tathagata, thus come, thus gone)☸️☯️☸️ Thanks for this reading, subscribed! Best of luck to you on your Chanel, I hope you get a million subscribers, and make a million to. 🙏
Mind it self is an illusion
@@shiranthibandara33 Self mind is an illusion, the ego mind. In the lankavatara sutra, mind denotes the enlightened nature. The unblemished reflecting mirror.
No-No.........................
Samsara and NirVana is different names, and differrent subjects. Even when you attained Nirvana, as a consequence you can tell your death date, and you can control your growth of your body, you can stay young until the end of your date. There is a proof "Maha Kashyapa Arahat Bikku's body still on ThreestoneMountain ("Kukkuta Sampatha Mountain" in India). It will be revealed when Maithree Bodhisattva become Buddha in the Future. So different terms and different names, not the same.
@@user-sadun5940Usher In Mahayana Buddhism they are considered same as in illusory although I understand contextually they have different names and meanings
@@user-sadun5940Usher I agree with that. The great vehicle negates the idea of both samsara and nirvana. Buddha says they are identical, one and the same.

i like this one - i hope to escape the cycle this time ;-)

It is impossible to stop the cycle of the wheel of rebirth, though seems to have evolved into different colours and fashions but still the same, simply caused by the unstoppable, unbeatable and undying selfishness and greed of those who proudly called themselves "human".
I recommend JODO SHINSHU which is a Pure Land Gateway. We all must escape SAMSARA and then save all sentient beings. NAMO AMIDA BUTSU😊

Beautiful video guys! Keep up the good work!
I want to come
Back
Into
This life
Dear Peter, i have a question, where do we (our souls) come from? where do our existence come from? and when do our existence materialise? have we always existed in this wheel of samsara? I am a Buddhist myself and i hope to understand more. Also, when we are reborn after death, why is our memory wiped out from our previous lives ? ( yes ive heard a minority remember their past lives). I hope anyone who has answers to these questions of mine could just reply here, thanks in advance!
Hello,
Thank you for your thoughtful questions. These are profound inquiries that touch on some of the central beliefs of Buddhism about the nature of existence and the cycle of rebirth.
In Buddhism, rather than a soul, what continues through the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (Samsara) is a stream of consciousness. This consciousness is not a fixed entity but a continuation of cause and effect, shaped by karma, which is the result of actions and intentions from previous lives.
As to where we come from and when our existence materializes, Buddhism teaches that beings have been wandering through Samsara for an incomprehensibly long time due to ignorance and desires that lead to rebirth. The idea isn't that we have a beginning point; rather, we have been in this cycle indefinitely until we achieve enlightenment (Nirvana), which is the cessation of rebirth.
Regarding why we generally do not remember past lives, it’s thought that the trauma of birth and the deep-seated ignorance that binds beings to Samsara obscure these memories. However, it is said that as one advances in their meditation practice and purifies their mind, it becomes possible to recall past lives, as demonstrated by some highly realized individuals, including the Buddha himself.
These concepts can be quite complex and are often subjects of ongoing study and meditation to fully grasp. I encourage you to continue exploring these teachings, perhaps with the guidance of a teacher or by joining a study group, as shared discussions can often shed light on these profound topics.
Thank you again for your curiosity and dedication to understanding more about Buddhism.
Warm regards,
Peter
Thank you so much for the prompt and great reply from you Peter, your answers definitely answer my questions and curiousity. Glad to have great teachers such as you and Matt on TH-cam, please keep up the great work! Namo Amitabha...
Imagine this.
Kindergarten student cannot learn University subjects.
if the students to learn it, he or she must come to an undergraduate level his or her knowledge. Likewise, you are not in a level to understand,
even if you met Load Buddha, he will never answer you until you become Arahat or Rahat.
There are Suttra, that the same questions had been asked by some Bikku who is not Arahat, so Load Buddha was remaining silent. The decision is also same when you are a University student and some Kindergarten student ask you some complicated question like "Where did I come from? Why I have legs and hands, ears, nose..etc".
But you Can give an answer, which is not true, you know, humans do mistakes, nobody is perfect except Bodhisattva or Buddha.

And in case an infant was born with mature intellect, he would have been bewildered in this world so strange to his, in an unrecognisable environment abounding with animals and birds of varied forms all around, which would be focussed to his vision every moment of the day.
Consider it in the manner of a man migrating to another country from the prison of one country. If he has a perfect intellect, you will see him perplexed and astounded. he can neither learn the foreign language soon enough, nor acquire the etiquette and decorum of the place. On the other hand, one who is taken as a prisoner to a strange land in his early days when his intellect is immature, will soon learn the language, etiquette and manners of the place.
Similarly, if a child had been born with mature intellect, he would have been astounded on opening his eyes and seeing such varied assortment, different kinds of forms, and distinctive imagery of unity and disunity. For a long time, he would not have understood as to whence he had come and where he had arrived and whether all that he was seeing was a dream.
Then, if he had been born of mature intellect, he would have felt disgusted and degraded on finding himself being carried about in the lap, being fed with milk, being wrapped up in bandages(the manner of the Arabs) and being laid in the cradle - all these proceedings being necessary for the infants because of their soft and delicate bodies.
There would not have been, if they had been born with a mature intellect, this sweetness, nor that sweetness, nor the considerations for the infants in the minds of the adults which springs generally from fondling the untutored children because of' their artlessness creating a particular attention for them. As such he is born in this world without an understanding for anything, quite unaware of the world and what lies therein. He views all these things with his underdeveloped brain and inadequate understanding, and so does not feel perplexed.
His intellect and understandings by degrees, slowly from time to time, little by little develop, so as to introduce him gradually to the things around and to accustom his brain accordingly in order to habituate him thereto without further need for curiosity and wonderment, thus enabling him to seek his sustenance serenely with understanding and planning, to bend his efforts thereto and to learn the lessons of obedience, error and disobedience.

I love the art for this! Where is it all from?
Budhaa is one of the most easiest and the most complicated at the same time just like my religion islam... In islam there is deeper religions in islam which make u think mindfull just like budhaa ❤❤❤ 20:26
Yes, indeed. The mystical and deeper levels of understanding, like the Sufis, can reveal the same foundational truth that Buddha realised. Sufism has influenced the Western esoteric tradition enormously, yet few realise that. We all see the same sun and moon no matter which country we live in. The "truth" is the same, no matter which culture we live in. It is the same ultimate truth deep down. ✌🏻🧡
@@That_Freedom_Guy that the beautiful of religion any religion I very respect and love any religion because there is no wrong about religion right they all thought we human to be kind to other human be enlightened stay on your right path whatever ur religion is they all is part of me... Part of Islam and I love every religion I seen my Islam = budhaa path is very similar
@escanor6143 I think you are a very wise person and a valuable asset to the world with ideology like that. Thank you so much for being on the right side of history as we are all tested by this fire. Together, we will endure. ✌🏻🧡
Lord Buddha never said about samsara or rebirth. But they are in the religion of Buddhism. Word of the Buddha rather Message of the Buddha is something else. It is a simple clearification of what is happening inside you that you don’t really understand. It is about thoughts and mind. It is a physical phenomena in you. True for every human being.
Of course he talked about literal samsara and rebirth in the sutras . The Realms of samsara can be interpreted as states of the mind . That’s a valid interpretation but literal samsara and rebirth is mentioned in many sutras by the Buddha . In the night of his enlightenment he remembered his many past lives and saw how beings are reborn according to their karma . And the destruction of taints . While is true that Buddhism can be practiced without much emphasis in karma and rebirth , to claim the Buddha never taught about karma , Samsara and literal rebirth is false .
@@leoorthodox8866 buddha claimed to have seen his past lives but never talked about them in greater detail. What kind of past lives was he talking about?? Nobody knew or knows. So how is different from no alleged "past lives"??
I have a 2nd question. What about the people suffering from war for example Gaza, how are they able to even change their own minds to start cultivate mindfulness wisdom and compassion when seeing their family and friends and themselves suffering, or do they not have the luxury to practice ? Do they have to wait till they are reborn as another sentient being to be able to practise? We are fortunate we were born in a much more peaceful country, with not much fear and pain, being able to watch this video on TH-cam, expanding our knowledge and try to practise Buddhism...Is our comfort affected by our past lives good karma accumulation?
Thank you for your second question. The suffering caused by situations like war can indeed make it incredibly challenging for those affected to find peace or practice mindfulness and compassion in the way others might in more stable circumstances.
In Buddhism, it is taught that all beings have the potential to cultivate wisdom and compassion, regardless of their current circumstances. However, the reality of severe adversity can undoubtedly make these practices more difficult. Buddhist teachings do acknowledge this disparity and emphasize the role of compassionate action from those in less afflicted circumstances to help alleviate the suffering of others.
Regarding your question about karma, it is a complex doctrine suggesting that our current circumstances are influenced by our actions in past lives. However, this isn’t meant to assign blame for suffering but rather to encourage a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all actions and their effects over time. It also reinforces the importance of generating positive karma in this life by acting with kindness, compassion, and wisdom.
Those suffering in conflict zones may find moments of peace or spiritual practice in small, personal ways, which can be profoundly significant amidst chaos. Their resilience and strength can also be a form of spiritual practice and growth.
It’s also important to recognize the privilege of being able to explore and practice these teachings through accessible means like our TH-cam videos. We are fortunate to have the peace and technology that allow us to discuss, learn, and grow in our understanding. This realization invites us to use these opportunities not only for our personal growth but to consider how we might contribute to the alleviation of suffering worldwide.
Your empathy and awareness of the broader human interest are vital, and they underscore the need for all of us to work toward a world where every individual has the opportunity to live in peace and pursue spiritual growth.
Thank you again for such a thoughtful and important inquiry.
Peter
I hear you brother. This is a good reason for the importance of the bodhisattva way. We have to help our fellow being.
The human wreaks is a big spectrum some humans don’t have basic needs met and it seems that they are just a tad better off then beings in the animal realm.

What’s the deal with the change in tempo of speech. Was this done for a purpose?
there are so many spirituality channels that rely so heavily on ai for content these days. spirituality has been commoditized for mass consumption and i can't that it's a bad thing or not...
because they are the only thing that even comes close the visions i have under psychedelics
Dark Karma is the enjoying of the fruits of your good Karma. The seeds of your bad Karma are inside the fruits of your good Karma. Reward leads to defilement leads to punishment/suffering. This is samsara. This is why I laugh at people who think they're gonna pull themselves up by their bootstraps and good deed their way to salvation.
Zen parable, do good, do not do bad. The Buddhist precepts do recommend a life of virtue, and morality. The key is to live with right action, and do good without the thought of doing good or calling one’s self good. Compassion assures non harm and hence, right action.
Go laugh at yourself... u have no idea of what the hell bootstraps mean... ur another fool intellectual....
Am not clear on what happens if you break free from samsara, does it mean when you die that's the end?
Thank you for your question! Breaking free from Samsara, or the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, is a central goal in Buddhism, known as achieving Nirvana or enlightenment.
In Buddhist belief, achieving Nirvana does not mean that one ceases to exist after death. Rather, it signifies the end of suffering and the cycle of continual rebirth that is driven by karma, ignorance, and desire. When someone achieves Nirvana, they have reached a state of liberation and ultimate peace.
This state transcends our usual understanding of existence-it's not an ending, but a profound transformation where the conditions that lead to further rebirth (such as attachment and ignorance) have been overcome. The enlightened being experiences the ultimate reality free from the dualistic notions of existence and non-existence.
So, in a way, it's not "the end," but rather a transcendent state beyond the limitations and sufferings of physical life as we understand it.
I hope this clarifies the concept a bit! If you have more questions or would like to explore further, feel free to ask.
Best,
Peter
It may also mean you have transcended your mental state of wanting to be reborn as something else. Rebirth and reincarnation, in the traditional sense, always has a permanent self attached to it. Some part of you exist after death and therefore some kind of self is able transcend your physical death. And of course, as the buddha famously teaches, there is no real permanent self. So this idea cannot be compatible with real buddhist teachings. Transcending samsara may actually just be just a mindset. You don't care about rebirths or reincarnations. You lose your sense of self. You don't care what you end up as, your essence becomes "absorbed" into the universe, you exist or don't exist anywhere but nowhere. Very zen, but real buddhist teachings are compatible with reality and don't dwell on the kind of delusions that this video and countless other religious videos keep telling you
want to know how to break the cycle

Buddhism actually has different ways to attain enlightenment. Personally, the Buddhist sect called pure land buddhism is usually a very approachable and easy path. There's a whole channel for pure land buddhism to learn more🙏 namo Amitabha

I wish you did not have such loud music in the background or even better no music I enjoy learning but it takes much focus for me. Would you consider having two versions one with music and one without music? Regardless thank you for your hard work and producing these videos!
It is an illusion of Brahma
What if the point of life and death is suffering and pleasure, what if that’s how the universe/self learns or entertains itself/ourself? What if samsara is the purpose of existence itself and it’s how the universe/we cope with eternity and there is no escape from eternity just temporary escape from eternal consciousness?
Thank you for sharing such a thought-provoking perspective! Your questions touch on deep existential themes that have been explored in various spiritual and philosophical traditions.
In Buddhism, the cycle of Samsara is indeed seen as an ongoing process of birth, death, and rebirth, where beings experience both suffering and pleasure. However, rather than viewing this cycle as the ultimate purpose of existence, Buddhism teaches that these experiences of suffering and pleasure are impermanent and ultimately unsatisfactory, driving the search for a deeper, enduring peace and liberation.
The idea that suffering and pleasure are ways through which the universe-or our collective consciousness-learns and evolves can be paralleled in the concept of karma in Buddhism. Actions and their consequences are seen as opportunities for learning and growth, propelling us towards greater understanding and compassion.
However, Buddhism posits that it is possible to transcend Samsara through enlightenment (Nirvana), where one overcomes the ignorance and desires that perpetuate the cycle. This liberation is not merely a temporary escape but a profound realization of the nature of reality, which is said to bring about a state of peace and freedom that is outside the usual cycles of pleasure and pain.
Your idea that Samsara could be an intrinsic aspect of coping with eternity is fascinating and certainly adds depth to our understanding of why such cycles might exist. It invites us to reflect on what liberation truly means and whether it is an end to existence or a transformation into a new way of being.
These are vast and complex topics, and such discussions can enrich our journey of understanding. Thank to you for adding your voice to this ongoing exploration.

repeating the same sentence many times
I dont think we have a choice on weather we come back or not. Reincarnated. It is what it is. I think Buda could have done more for people if had had chosen to be the king instead of becoming a spiritual teacher. Just my opinion
Who is taking rebirth when budhism not believe in soul
The continuity of consciousness, not soul, according to Buddhism.
If u talk about rebirth then it's not wisdom, but its blind faith
You believe on karma you take one on you ! When Good forgive forgot to! No karma!
What a sad, hopeless way to live. Isn't one experience with the sorrow and struggle of this life hard enough? I can't imagine doing it over and over and over, with no assurance of your sins forgiven!
Turn to Jesus Christ. He, ALONE, died and rose again, to pay for sins and grant people pardon, so they can enter heaven.
Hebrews 9:24-28
For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and the passage from Hebrews. It's clear that your faith provides you with comfort and assurance, and it's wonderful to hear from someone so passionate about their beliefs.
In Buddhism, the cycle of rebirth, or Samsara, indeed involves continual birth, death, and rebirth, which can seem daunting. However, rather than viewing it as a sad or hopeless cycle, Buddhism teaches that this understanding helps followers recognize the urgency of seeking enlightenment and overcoming ignorance and desire-the root causes of suffering.
The ultimate goal in Buddhism is achieving Nirvana, a state of liberation from the cycle of rebirth and suffering. This is considered the highest happiness, not a state of eternal suffering. The path to this liberation is through ethical living, meditation, and developing wisdom and compassion.
While Buddhism and Christianity have different understandings of life, sin, and salvation, both religions offer paths to transformation and peace. They each provide their followers with a framework for understanding suffering and overcoming it, though the methods and beliefs may differ.
We appreciate your invitation to explore Christian teachings and are glad to share about Buddhist perspectives as well. Engaging in such interfaith dialogues can enrich our understanding and respect for each other’s beliefs.
Thank that you once again for contributing to this conversation.
Peter
Where does bad karma originate before the first rebirth? For example, if we trace our rebirth process backward to the very first one, the question arises: why did the first rebirth occur when there was initially no bad karma?..
@@BuddhasWizdom Thank you for the kind response. (I am only now seeing it. TH-cam is hit or miss with notifications.)
The last thing I'd say is on this:
"While Buddhism and Christianity have different understandings of life, sin, and salvation, both religions offer paths to transformation and peace. They each provide their followers with a framework for understanding suffering and overcoming it, though the methods and beliefs may differ."
Jesus did not give us the option of equating the two religions, as though they are equal and just two different ways to have peace in life or deal with suffering.
He came to suffer the punishment we deserved for our sins, so that we would not have to pay for them for eternity, in Hell. He is the Lord of all the universe. All people on earth are commanded to worship ONLY Him.
When He returns, they will.
Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
There are no other lives. We each only have one. Then we stand before Christ in judgment.
Please turn to Him, before it is too late.
All these concepts are similar to Hinduism. Don't think we can associate raga dwesha and viveka truly as Buddha's teachings.
All truth is the same it has to be by definition
Stop rebirth reads the title. I can't possibly transmit into words the depth of such appalling ignorance. It is fantastic, it must belong to the Theravada tradition. After this title, I rather prefer to go to buy an ice cream at 7Eleven. Go to sleep, for all practical purposes die, and have a rebirth the next morning. Bwahahahaha! By the way, the only way to stop rebirth is by spiritual enlightenment, while alive, here and now.
