- What are referred to in the Mahayana Buddhist literature as the “eight mundane concerns” or the “eight worldly dharmas” are, in fact, simply primordial levels of attachment that exist virtually as assumptions in our minds. We constantly crave happy feelings, getting nice things, hearing pleasant words with our name in them, and having people approve of us, and desperately crave to be free of the opposite. In fact, the more we look into our minds - be our own therapists, as Lama Yeshe wisely put it - the more we see that these attitudes inform most of our decisions in daily life, thus causing us so much confusion and pain. Reversing these attitudes - so radical! is the essence of spiritual practice.
With her unparalleled dynamic and very practical teaching style, Venerable Robina helps us really understand what it means to “renounce this life” (which refers to a state of mind) and that, as gloomy as it may sound, can be the key to real happiness.
These teachings include meditation, lecture, and discussion. They are appropriate for those new to Buddhism and those who wish to deepen their spiritual understanding and practice.
Amazing. The sharp mind of Richard Feynman paired with the passion of Martin Luther King...What a sentient being! Thank you for sharing.
She's certainly a firecracker! Shantideva Centre: thank you for sharing Ven. Robina Courtin's wonderful wisdom.

Some of the poorest people in the World are the Happiest most Content people that exist..
✨Thank you 🙌🏻 Love hearing about “the fruit of our virtuous karma”!❤ 7/10/24✨
The issue about “karma” seems to have less to do with accountability than it does punishment, in the public mind. To those controlled by such confusion, I refer to the condition of the world which has always been lamentable to say the least. Yes, there are consequences to this.
Interesting. Compassion can be well-meaning (no negative karma for the doer) but do harm -- UNLESS the person has achieved full Bodhisattva status and therefore at least a fair quotient of wisdom before acting out of compassion to intervene in another life.
How can I prove that Ven Robina exist?
On a conventional level or on a absolute level?
how can mind exist independent of brain?
According to the Buddhist view our individual mindstream temporarily exists within this transient vessel that we call the body and at the moment of death our consciousness passes on from this physical form.
The brain is therefore also an inextricable part of this impermanent vessel for our individual consciousness to experience mundane reality and interact on the physical plane through the sense organs of the body.
In contrast to the materialist view of modern science the Buddhist view holds the primacy of consciousness as the basis for the experience of reality.
What about the karma of the mouse when being killed by a person who has negative intention and when being killed by a person with a positive intention (that of ending the mouses suffering)?
The karma of the mouse manifests as that of a being who will be killed which exists independently of the intentions of the person who kills it.
please help me with this doubt, what happened if my motivation of not killing a mouse is fear of bad karma?
Yes is correct! That's the point. You get a bad outcome for yourself as well as the mouse if u kill it. Fear or bad karma is just another way of saying you don't want to suffer.
?
Do not confuse consequence with judgement. This is the popular confabulation that perpetuates samsara. Either you understand the 5 o’clock news to be a revelation of self-inflicted suffering or you don’t. The law of karma is merely a symptom, not a cause.
Why does she get so angry and impatient? That's just not what I imagine a Buddha to be... BTW: There is no mathematical theory why 1+1=2 it's just an agreement. Ven Robina doesn't know mathematics pffff
Bommel van Will -All of realty is consensual. You can insist on your own answers to things like math problems but you’ll look like an idiot if you do so whimsically.
Robina is the exact opposite of the relaxed compassionate conventionally agreed model of a Buddhist . Her very style of teaching is a lesson in emptiness and challenge our rigid concepts of “how things are”.I am extremely grateful that her style is her own and would surely see her as a manifestation of Manjusri using her tongue as a sword to cut cut through peoples conceptual bullshit. Thanks Robina
@@TheTestride Very well said. I love Robina and her style of speaking.
