@@m.a.4500 If it can lead a man to enlightenment, then are there any problems with the belief of "multiple" gods? If the man claims he is enlightened, then he is enlightened. If you claim the man is not enlightened because he believes in "multiple gods", then so be it.
As an atheist I have a deep respect for buddhism. I myself am not spiritual but I agree with a lot of things that the buddha taught. I agree that love, acceptance and positivity are the ways to happiness and the parts I don't agree with I can still respect for they are harmless and well meaning. Buddhism is a personal philosophy, so personal it encourages people to not blindly except it but to ponder it and decide if that is what they believe or not. While I am atheist, I love listening to Buddhists talk for although we may have disagreements there is always a great respect between us.
These teachings show how much of a genius he was. Such wisdom at that period of time is really unbelievable. Today is his birthday, Happy Buddha Jayanti everyone, enjoy love, peace and wisdom❤

My mind is blowned for ever. The last time i readed a book that blown my mind like that, it was 'the prophet' by Kalil Gibran. Thank you for this excellent lecture :)
The translation of the Dhammapada is very important because translations are not equal. Some are far better than others. Here are the first two verses from a very good translation: 1. Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox. 2. Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow. Acharya Buddharakkhita. The Dhammapada: The Buddha's Path of Wisdom (Kindle Locations 292-295). Kindle Edition. This translation says: "All that we are is the result of what we have thought..." Using the words thought/thoughts instead of the word mind gives a totally different meaning. Thoughts are the products of mind, they don't create the mind. The mind creates them.
Kenneth, If a person acts Innocence, gullibility will follow that person. Acts mean Karma. No need long definition. Karma will record even your action in the dark room. It will follow you like shadow in daylight too.
@@peacebe2u480 Wisdom leads to innocence, but innocence will not lead to gullibility. When one is aware of themselves and others, one will accept the way others are and act accordingly. This does not mean being trampled over.
You are NOT your thoughts. Think about it... Let it sink in. How can you be your thoughts? Thoughts come and go. But you stay. If you were your thoughts why would you ever want to be sad? You would think about being happy, free. You cannot control your thoughts. But you can observe them come and go like they appear on a screen. Your thoughts cannot touch you. There's a space between you and what you think you are. You can chose to not be engaged by these thoughts. Thoughts may appear and things may appear hard than they actually are. If you were your fearful thoughts you would never be free or out of fear. When you see these feelings and thoughts from a distance you understand these are powerless and often exaggerated. Let them come and go. You are free.
Today I feel lonely, but I know I can take this feeling. In my mind I have to take action to change this, but my mind is lying. I know I can take it. I can accept the suffering being part of life. So I'll accept it just the way it is.
Buddha was an Indo-Aryan with deep blue eye, tall, and fair skin. Your third world country today is nothing like the place he was born in, 2500+ years ago, an advanced civilization in its own time. Stop using him to give yourself feel false pride.😂
Yes. James Allen is one of my favorites. In heavenly life he quotes dhamapada directly more than once. Heavenly life is on par with the dhamapada as a teaching to me. Close are tao te ching and kybaluon.
Don’t forget that you are alive, and when I say you are Alive, I don’t mean just regular life. Try to remind yourself that the world around you isn’t boring or busniess as usual. Your sensations, your emotions, you are here on a level that is really innocent and excited to (experience). positive and negative thoughts are the same thing. Don’t let anyone tell you that you cant control them. Force the positive thoughts and it will become second nature. Trust yourself. If you trust yourself, you will trust reality, because you are apart of it. Please think positive thoughts, it’s so simple, the answer isn’t hidden in a tomb, it’s in you all around you. I think people think it needs to be deeper than that. Please please please, think positive thoughts

I in some way understand what you are saying,Yet I hope it has not prevented you from listening And learning from this gem.I too have the book.Yet I still come here to listen.Too me it is the words the teachings that are the real true focal point for me,I have never really even noticed the accent.Quite possibly now you have mentioned it I will cheers. I wish you well And good health. Take Care.
I thought and re thought over about commenting here now as I had already commented regarding "To whom do we owe this debt?" Speaking of karmic debt. I have come to a possible realization regarding this. I say possible but really, it is the only way this make a kind of sense at all to me. My realization is this: In any closed system there are rules which any element within the system must adhere to in order that it may be said to be a part of the system. Karma is the rules of our system. Like Newtonian Physics there are actions and, reactions that happen purely as consequence of there being rules. Except it is more apt to say that these are like but not precisely, physical law. This explains why enlightened beings are said to not be so harried by karma as are others. They do not act in such a way as to interact with the system and its laws. If one does not seek to obtain any particular outcome in any given situation, then that one is not acting in a way that engenders karma. No intent, no crime. So to speak. However, it occurs to me that intent is as important as action. This is why meditation and moral behavior are so important to the one seeking enlightenment. If one would interact in a way that engenders karma if only they were able then they are guilty regardless. Not of a crime mind you. They are guilty of intent. That is action. To which there must necessarily be a reaction.
@@m1galler Thank you for your advice. I will look into your suggestion. It is nice to have input other than my own mind. I believe my previous comment had merit, having just re read it. However, now I would simply say we create the environment in which we exist.
@@m1galler I must say however, upon listening to the introduction to the book, it seems to be concerned with power and control thereof. The whole "meat for men" as opposed to others supplying "milk to babes" is a power centric idea. Not something Buddhism concerns itself with. This existence is impermanent while what we truly are is not. No use vying for control of what will be gone long before you ever will.
@@streamenterer2293 I see the direction you are approaching this from. But you will see if you have ever tried to help someone above the level they are at. They almost disgusted reject the information with a love of the imperfection. It's not so much a power move to milk for babes, meat for strong men. It is that there are different tiers of spirituality spread through society and no stepping stone can be skipped. So you can only teach the next step not the final step to a person. Milk is not an insult but the proper food for this stage. They will eat meat when the milk makes them strong enough to digest it. Not power but discernment.
@@streamenterer2293 well. I want disagreeing with the comment. The kyballion explains the system that you are talking about. Infinite connection that is never broken only changed. Because nothing can be created or destroyed karma is a function of the adaptation of the whole. Skip the intro on all these books They are not written at the knowledge level of the author of the information and should not be considered the same level of source. The intro is usually just some intellectual and not as high in spirit as the main text. Once you get to the main section you'll see it more as just obvious truths that take no reaching to understand. It's more of a .. ya of course.. experience. Like the dhamapada But it lays ot out as separate observable truths that together synergize to make the whole. Reexplaing what you already knew without words. I'm only suggesting meat because of what u stayed already.

I know rich people who don't think too much and are happy as pigs in mud. Yet this says the virtuous man delights in this life. Well there are not so virtuous people delighting in it too.That's the sticking point for me. Some good people suffer terribly in this life. Some children are born into suffering and die in it. Also there are many nuerodivergent conditions unknown to the bhudda that dictate behaviours. What about them? Are they doomed to suffer future karma for deeds they could not help? I am talking into the void. There are no answers.
It's karma... The buddha taught us that we r in continuous cycle of rebirth & all what we get both good & bad are causes of what we did in past lives.... If a person puts bad thoughts in a child it's coz that very child had done the same in their previous life to another child....

@@darrentuan5818 When the mind is free of confusion and ignorance all experience is bliss. Ones outside environment does not negatively affect an unconfused mind
Buddhism doesn't deny the possibility of the existence of heaven and hell, though it may be very different from heaven and hell in Western and in Christianity. Also, depending on where you learn the teachings of Buddhism, it can be a little bit different from each other too. Some places (like China) include heaven and hell in the circle of life, where you come after you die to be judge. If you behaved nicely in your past life, you can go on having another life, if you have been bad, you'll be kept in hell to receive your judgement. After a lot of good behave life, you may ascend to heaven or escape totally from the circle of life as an enlightened one (a.k.a a Buddha). Another note: There's a story about someone asked the Buddha himself if there are gods in this world and he replies that he doesn't know, but he believes the gods (if there any) would have their own businesses and suffers too, so all beings shouldn't depending on gods to save them, instead they should be the one who save them themselves. This story in somewhat show that Buddhism doesn't really deny any other religions, gods or the possibilities of other mystery forces.
@@mel26o4 thanks for the great reply! I’m a Christian, but think that Buddhism has many beautiful philosophies and teachings regarding happiness, suffering, love, and peace
that's because Do you know a little about Buddhism? Teachings on Heaven and Hell Buddhism has more elaborate teachings than other religions. Ethical principles Buddhism teaches in more detail than other religions. But it is different from other religions. Buddhism does not believe in a creator god. but believe that there is an angel Buddhism believes in karma. Do good, get good results Do evil and get bad results.
@@DenisAshton Philosophical in practice, religious in results, may be a way to understand. Best way to understand is to practice Dharma and know for yourself.

" If a person acts Evil pain will follow that person"
Kenneth,
If a person acts Innocence, gullibility will follow that person.
Acts mean Karma. No need long definition. Karma will record even your action in the dark room. It will follow you like shadow in daylight too.
find good thinngs on youtube increases my good recomendations , thank you for being in the way
@KAPKAN Programmer Karma is so much more than just being “caught” for your actions 🙏
@@peacebe2u480
Wisdom leads to innocence, but innocence will not lead to gullibility. When one is aware of themselves and others, one will accept the way others are and act accordingly. This does not mean being trampled over.
By just following this book, I became a change man 👨

Great teachings, great narration, and great art.
Golden truths, a true giant of spiritual history giving timeless truths
You are NOT your thoughts. Think about it... Let it sink in. How can you be your thoughts? Thoughts come and go. But you stay. If you were your thoughts why would you ever want to be sad? You would think about being happy, free. You cannot control your thoughts.
But you can observe them come and go like they appear on a screen. Your thoughts cannot touch you. There's a space between you and what you think you are. You can chose to not be engaged by these thoughts. Thoughts may appear and things may appear hard than they actually are. If you were your fearful thoughts you would never be free or out of fear. When you see these feelings and thoughts from a distance you understand these are powerless and often exaggerated.
Let them come and go. You are free.
All creation is not grief. Don't have pity on all creatures but have compassion.
Thank you. May this good karma help you to attain nirvana.
Madhyamaka Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, both are paths to achieving the non-dual state which is our true nature 🙏
I love that miscellaneous is a chapter because that's one of my favorite words and has been since I was a teen and learned it from Sims
Today I feel lonely, but I know I can take this feeling. In my mind I have to take action to change this, but my mind is lying. I know I can take it. I can accept the suffering being part of life.
So I'll accept it just the way it is.
You are never alone if you exist.
Buddha was born in Nepal.❤️
It wasn't Nepal then.
Buddha was an Indo-Aryan with deep blue eye, tall, and fair skin.
Your third world country today is nothing like the place he was born in, 2500+ years ago, an advanced civilization in its own time.
Stop using him to give yourself feel false pride.😂
Beautiful place. Would love to visit Nepal one day ❤

The first narrater is amazing
I have been listening to James Allen, I see he must have studied these teachings after listening to this.
Yes. James Allen is one of my favorites. In heavenly life he quotes dhamapada directly more than once. Heavenly life is on par with the dhamapada as a teaching to me. Close are tao te ching and kybaluon.
A follower of Dhamma always talk about the founder of Dhamma was Shakyamuni Buddha.
Every chantings and meditation starts with Buddho Dhammo Sangho.
Am a Christian but Buddha this man was like a god......he was full of wisdom. I LOVE HIS works.
Don’t forget that you are alive, and when I say you are Alive, I don’t mean just regular life. Try to remind yourself that the world around you isn’t boring or busniess as usual. Your sensations, your emotions, you are here on a level that is really innocent and excited to (experience). positive and negative thoughts are the same thing. Don’t let anyone tell you that you cant control them. Force the positive thoughts and it will become second nature. Trust yourself. If you trust yourself, you will trust reality, because you are apart of it. Please think positive thoughts, it’s so simple, the answer isn’t hidden in a tomb, it’s in you all around you. I think people think it needs to be deeper than that. Please please please, think positive thoughts
Budddha and Jesus came with a gift of knowledge, one must go farther and understand them, apply them, it’s literally organic food for the soul.

I wish you well And good health.
Take Care.
This makes me sleep at night, when i am overthinking, thank you this.
I thought and re thought over about commenting here now as I had already commented regarding "To whom do we owe this debt?" Speaking of karmic debt. I have come to a possible realization regarding this. I say possible but really, it is the only way this make a kind of sense at all to me. My realization is this: In any closed system there are rules which any element within the system must adhere to in order that it may be said to be a part of the system. Karma is the rules of our system. Like Newtonian Physics there are actions and, reactions that happen purely as consequence of there being rules.
Except it is more apt to say that these are like but not precisely, physical law.
This explains why enlightened beings are said to not be so harried by karma as are others. They do not act in such a way as to interact with the system and its laws. If one does not seek to obtain any particular outcome in any given situation, then that one is not acting in a way that engenders karma. No intent, no crime. So to speak.
However, it occurs to me that intent is as important as action. This is why meditation and moral behavior are so important to the one seeking enlightenment. If one would interact in a way that engenders karma if only they were able then they are guilty regardless. Not of a crime mind you. They are guilty of intent. That is action. To which there must necessarily be a reaction.
kybalion. The kybalion to your knowledge. It may help clarify this in a system
@@m1galler Thank you for your advice. I will look into your suggestion. It is nice to have input other than my own mind.
I believe my previous comment had merit, having just re read it. However, now I would simply say we create the environment in which we exist.
@@m1galler I must say however, upon listening to the introduction to the book, it seems to be concerned with power and control thereof. The whole "meat for men" as opposed to others supplying "milk to babes" is a power centric idea. Not something Buddhism concerns itself with.
This existence is impermanent while what we truly are is not. No use vying for control of what will be gone long before you ever will.
@@streamenterer2293 I see the direction you are approaching this from. But you will see if you have ever tried to help someone above the level they are at. They almost disgusted reject the information with a love of the imperfection. It's not so much a power move to milk for babes, meat for strong men. It is that there are different tiers of spirituality spread through society and no stepping stone can be skipped. So you can only teach the next step not the final step to a person. Milk is not an insult but the proper food for this stage. They will eat meat when the milk makes them strong enough to digest it. Not power but discernment.
@@streamenterer2293 well. I want disagreeing with the comment. The kyballion explains the system that you are talking about. Infinite connection that is never broken only changed. Because nothing can be created or destroyed karma is a function of the adaptation of the whole. Skip the intro on all these books
They are not written at the knowledge level of the author of the information and should not be considered the same level of source. The intro is usually just some intellectual and not as high in spirit as the main text. Once you get to the main section you'll see it more as just obvious truths that take no reaching to understand. It's more of a .. ya of course.. experience. Like the dhamapada
But it lays ot out as separate observable truths that together synergize to make the whole. Reexplaing what you already knew without words. I'm only suggesting meat because of what u stayed already.
🙏🙏🙏May all Beings find real security of Nibana. May they encounter no evil. May they encounter no grieve. May they encounter no suffering.🙏 May all beings be happy, be peaceful, and be liberated, liberated, liberated.🙏
It is good to practice the teachings in their respective chapters called suttas, it is not just a book or story, it is a way of life, a spiritual connection to enlightenment.

Thank you, so much. This is priceless... May your great karma be rewarded... May you attain the path to Nirvana...
Thank You for this !
I love this translation ....
None of this used to make sense... but after realizing the truth of reality, this actually makes logical sense.
A teacher told me, "Nothing is obvious until it becomes obvious". This is also refered to as the background/foreground shift.
Such wisdom !!
Thank you. Wisdom for the ages
Thanks for taking the time to read this
This is my first step into Hinduism. My mind is open and ready to receive these wise words
I Wana say its a very good English translation
I know rich people who don't think too much and are happy as pigs in mud. Yet this says the virtuous man delights in this life. Well there are not so virtuous people delighting in it too.That's the sticking point for me. Some good people suffer terribly in this life. Some children are born into suffering and die in it.
Also there are many nuerodivergent conditions unknown to the bhudda that dictate behaviours. What about them? Are they doomed to suffer future karma for deeds they could not help?
I am talking into the void. There are no answers.
anyone who reads Librivox audiobooks must be a nice person
Beautiful!Thank you!🙂💗🙏🌻🌹🌷🌼
This was an amazing book
What about all the "thoughts" you weren't thinking till someone put the thought in your mind? childhood programing etc.
Correct. I feel like I'll spend the rest of my trying to reprogramming😊🙏🏼
I see what you’re saying...I guess it’s our job to take control of our minds and gain back our innocence
It's karma... The buddha taught us that we r in continuous cycle of rebirth & all what we get both good & bad are causes of what we did in past lives.... If a person puts bad thoughts in a child it's coz that very child had done the same in their previous life to another child....
Guard your mind
This should be taught in school
Heaven is Smile .
Hell is Cry and Tears .
And this world , the place our humans living . It's a place half crying and half laughing .
Buddhism philosophy about this life , in this world . I read this thing in a article , in a group Buddhism in Facebook .
I'm from Vietnam .
It is up to you when to laugh and when to cry
@@kevinnielsen1356 In this world , in many countries .

Dwell from hatred. Dwell free from alignments. Dwell well from greed. Call nothing your own. Victory breeds hatred.

One of the best books
beautiful wisdom ...thank u
THE TRUTH SHALL BE REVEALED!!!!
I'm going back to listening to Alan watts, Hegel, Terence McKenna and Robert anton Wilson
Excellent, thank you
thank you for sharing this
Thank you for sharing ! 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing this with us brothers, I wish you peace and progress on your path :3
I enjoy listening to this. Thank you. 🙂
Some great philosophical ideas in here. I was shocked to hear this talk about heaven and hell. I didn’t think Buddhists believed in that.
Buddhism doesn't deny the possibility of the existence of heaven and hell, though it may be very different from heaven and hell in Western and in Christianity.
Also, depending on where you learn the teachings of Buddhism, it can be a little bit different from each other too. Some places (like China) include heaven and hell in the circle of life, where you come after you die to be judge. If you behaved nicely in your past life, you can go on having another life, if you have been bad, you'll be kept in hell to receive your judgement. After a lot of good behave life, you may ascend to heaven or escape totally from the circle of life as an enlightened one (a.k.a a Buddha).
Another note: There's a story about someone asked the Buddha himself if there are gods in this world and he replies that he doesn't know, but he believes the gods (if there any) would have their own businesses and suffers too, so all beings shouldn't depending on gods to save them, instead they should be the one who save them themselves. This story in somewhat show that Buddhism doesn't really deny any other religions, gods or the possibilities of other mystery forces.
@@mel26o4 thanks for the great reply! I’m a Christian, but think that Buddhism has many beautiful philosophies and teachings regarding happiness, suffering, love, and peace
that's because Do you know a little about Buddhism? Teachings on Heaven and Hell Buddhism has more elaborate teachings than other religions. Ethical principles Buddhism teaches in more detail than other religions. But it is different from other religions. Buddhism does not believe in a creator god. but believe that there is an angel Buddhism believes in karma. Do good, get good results Do evil and get bad results.
@@สุนทรบํารุงทรัพย์ Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion right?
@@DenisAshton Philosophical in practice, religious in results, may be a way to understand. Best way to understand is to practice Dharma and know for yourself.
You speak of me the wise man for I have attained for I am Bodhisattva Maitreya
Maybe in a few hundred thousand years. Good luck.
After I'm reading the now I'm understand about Siddharta gautama.
great book thanks
Namaste, thank you!
