Ramana Maharshi was once asked " How should we treat others? " He replied 'There are no others'.
That's an answere that is not an answere.
Long Live His Holiness The Great 14Th Dalai Lama ❤
0:10.... JC : How do you quantify religion ?
Father Jack Hackett:
That would be an ecumenical matter!
There was not much love and compassion towards the cat by the monk.
Joe Dispenza and Bruce Lipton, would be happy to see these two on your show....
I have a lot of time for Buddhism after spending many years in a Buddhist country but it too has problems. To many it become like a Pagan ritual where you can seek forgiveness by paying a cash penance, monks misbehave like Catholic priests and icons are lucky charms. The Path to enlightenment is a long one and it won't stop you coming back as a cockroach.
And there are casts like in hinduism. And esoterism is a part of them. And Even occultism is certain versions.
Looks good
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
It’s so predictable that westerns like John always mention the Dalai Lama like he’s the Buddhist pope. In reality he represents Tibetan Vajrayana which is maybe one of the smallest split off esoteric schools of Buddhism.
Nevertheless, to the Western world, the Dalai Lama is the recognisable face of Buddhism. Few would be aware of Mahāyāna or Theravada Buddhism. Of the 8 billion people in the world, 500 million are Buddhist. To the rest, Buddhism is Buddhism, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the most recognised Buddhist in the world.
@@PhilipCau Followed by Thich Nhat Hanh, I would say.
And I suppose you have deep knowledge of the hundreds of branches of Christianity? How would someone know otherwise if they hadn't studied it in depth? How about being grateful that he's got a genuine interest in it and is talking about it on a large platform.
I used to live in a Bhuddist meditation centre and although they were nice people, the vacant look in their eyes was a tad disturbing and it turned me off the whole thing
Now I am getting the word.........
They forgot to add 'woke culture' to the fastest growing religions that aren't actually religions.
Biiiiig kitty...
Biiiiiiig kitty....
Aww, tiiiny kitty...
BIIIIIIIIG Kitty,,,,
Yes the woke cult of Farage and Tice has certainly grown.
You can search unto the ends of universe when seeking 'the ultimate truth';
or you can simply remove the deception and self deception from 'your life'.
That is 'the way'.
There is no ultimate truth except by which science attempts to uncover. All else is metaphysics.
@@martynblackburn9632 Science is a mental construct. Get around that.
😁
Something you haven't actually done or you wouldn't be posting such glib nonsense.
@@snowflakemelter1172 You know this how ?
I see reaponses like yours, and just see it as more evidence.
@@RuneRelic people who say they know..... don't , its a fact of life.
I like bread and buddha.
I don't take any academic who says "before common era" seriously.
Then you can't take modern academics or scientists seriously. Enjoy your medieval view.
@@jasoncullen8430 You know little about the real world.
It's interesting that Cleese is drawn to Buddhism and thinks it's so sensible... but clearly knows nothing about it or it's founder. 🤷♂
"Nothing".
Perhaps that's why he invited these guests on, to inform him.
It's just a hosting technique...for the audience. He probably knows more than he let's on
He knows quite a bit. But he's letting these experts explain it to the audience. Are you really so clueless?
Eckhart Tolle, now that would be a fascinating guest
Another new age deceiver. Almost as boring and trite as that Watts fellow.
Did the Dalai Lama give you a bit of tongue John?
You're misquoting a Tibetan idiom, "eat my tongue," which the Dalai Lama said and the Chinese then re-edited and presented out of context. Don't be so gullible.
Is that the same Dali’s lama that made a little boy kiss him?
silly handshake club, he loves his handsigns
...on his lips ❗
He never made a boy kiss him. He used a Tibetan idiom, "eat my tongue" (referring to having nothing left to give) and the Chinese re-edited the video and claimed he was abusing a boy. Don't be so gullible.
@@jasoncullen8430 yes it perfectly normal to offer a child your tongue and ask him to suck it because it means something in Tibet. Silly me.
I practice Buddhism in my life. So material possessions are meaningless to me. I am a teacher which is the best vocation as I am creating the future
What in the hell am I watching? What a bizarre cacophony of audio-visual experiences.
Atheist and agnostic is the same thing, still blows my mind how ppl struggle with that
I would disagree
Not so. A person who believes there is no god, cannot be an agnostic. An atheist is anything -- animal mineral or vegetable -- that is not a theist. A- simple means non-. Had the word been coined in a colloquial context, it would just be "non-theist". An agnostic is more a profession of an inability to know. So excludes those who assert there is no god.
@@ianinkster2261 Literally nobody calling themselves an atheist believes they know for sure that there is no god. You're just wrong and the 2 words mean the exact same thing but feel free to keep making a distinction and looking stupid.
they are not the same, one is believing that there is nothing above us and the other is not believing any of the religions but still believing that there's something outside of ourselves, a reason for all of this but not agreeing with other peoples baseless opinions on why we're here
@@MightySheepan atheist believes there's no God, an agnostic believes there's a God.
So I'm agnostic 😂
Nobody gonna mention that this isnt the Dalai Lama? He's from a different country and sect of Buddhism.
Nobody suggested he was the Dali Lama. John merely told about one comment the Dali Lama made when he interviewed him.
Buddhism is gay.
Common era? Or Christian era
Hundreds of millions of people were living around the world from the first century and on who knew nothing of Christ and who still have nothing to do with Christ. So to call it 'the Christian era' because one tiny peninusula on the Eurasian continent was preoccupied with an executed Jewish teacher is obviously absurd. It's known as 'the common era' as we've all adopted a calendar, not the religion.
Same thing
Same thing
Alan Watts misses the mark as much as these two characters about Buddha. Let me emphasize, that all religions and beliefs came about by man's fear of the unknown and very, very, very dark times. If the construct of life on Earth is all fundamentally the same then so is it when you die and that you're no more than Roadkill. This is nothing more than an experiment and answers the lifelong question - why the insatiable need to orgasm or to have sex? To ensure an endless supply of unwitting participants! My dad was Protestant and my mom a devout Catholic and from the get-go, I always question the validity of Jesus. After all, he didn't rise from the dead he merely regained Consciousness after being in a coma and then leveraging himself to open the stone wall door only to succumb to his injuries later. I look forward to your comments ¿`_
People don't realise what a dissolute person Alan Watts actually was. An actual spiritual leader is fairly disciplined while Watts promoted alcoholism as his lifestyle choice.Believe it or not.
