Buddha is no other …
Buddha is no other than Christ. Form is nothing but emptiness and emptiness is nothing but form. Even though Buddha and Christ were separate persons in space and time, space and time are an illusion, compared to Godhead. Mysticism FTW!
Depends on whom you …
Depends on whom you call you. Limited, small ’self’ or the self of all selves.
I think Theravada …
I think Theravada is very valuable. So, I ‘mix’ two kinds of buddhism or three - theravada, mahayana, vajrayana. Theravada seems to emphasize cessation more than nondual integrative consciousness, and mahayana and vajrayana emphasize integration of all experience and deeds into a supramental yoga.

what is the sound of one hand clapping?
a facepalm
outstanding …
outstanding attitude. I was discussing Buddhism with someone, who also said she was Buddhist. Her main explanation of ‘why I was wrong’ was to say that HER Buddhism was that specifically ‘tailored’ to the west.
True Buddhism (Theravada) can only be fully comprehended IF you first train yourself to think from an EASTERN cultural ethos.
I wish you well on …
I wish you well on your journey. The Buddhist path is an inner one that we often have to walk alone but it is very rewarding. Constant meditation is the key, the results come slowly but most surely!!!
Can you explain how …
Can you explain how you know this?
We haven’t made him …
We haven’t made him a god, he is our teacher and his image gives us inspiration. He told us that only we can work out our own salvation by turning our focus inwards and finding the ultimate reality… Peace.
It’s too bad this …
It’s too bad this person wants to show only their misunderstanding. I would rather have seen some questions from this person.
Knowledge of one, …
Knowledge of one, one will know all
The buddha was and …
The buddha was and is a being of light enlighten by Jesus to light the way of darkness for those days jesus was not in the planet. Even dough he died he will receive a huge gift when he will rise with the saints of Christ when god return.
Satan has …
Satan has multitudes following the teachings of Buddha. But Buddha is dead, he is still in his grave. He is powerless to Save for he was only a man. Even, before he died, he told his friends, “I am not a god. Don’t make me one.” So, they clearly disobeyed him.
actually theres no …
actually theres no problem with believing in the teachings of christianity (Catholic, protestant, rasta, whatever) or other religions and combining it with buddhist teachings. The Dalai Lama once said that “All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness … the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.”
your are a very …
your are a very convincing iv had second thoughts on turning to buddhism but then i thought theres alot of diffrent religions i though about wiccian but i said no i thought about hinduism but i tryed it with a friend and said nooo way and then i read 2 books on buddhism searched it alot and i said this is perfect but i couldnt keep myself on wanting to do it so i saw these videos and i want too doo it!
on the other hand, …
on the other hand, “vipassana” is a bit of a complex thing that will help you stop the cycle of karma and rebirth.
in this day and age its quite difficult to find buddhism in its purest form. buddhist teachings have been incorrectly abstracted in the west and all over the world (mostly bcos ppl misunderstood the buddha) and also i think cos some wanna destroy buddhism.
to learn real buddhism you have to goto countries like sri lanka, burma, thailand, etc.
“metta” is just one …
“metta” is just one form of “samatha” where one would focus on just one meditation object. ie: generating the same intention/thought over and over again; while when noticing that the mind has esacaped to another thought (a sound, a straying thought, a smell, etc) the meditator notices that and brings their attention back to the main meditation object. “samatha” will generate you massive amounts of good karma(”kusal”) and will not shorten/stop your “samsara”(non-stop rebirth). cont…
Indeed, I think …
Indeed, I think you’re right. He never mentioned, per se, either. But people have broken them down that way, for a clear understanding and for convenience, which is fine! So I guess a “Metta” meditation would “fall into” the category of Vipassana. Thanks for the helpful reply!
the way i …
the way i understand it, “samatha” and “vipassana” are the two types/ categories of meditations. every buddhist meditation technique is either of type “samatha” or of the type “vipassana”. i might be wrong. so pls someone correct me if im wrong. im not a buddhist monk.
I love your videos. …

It souns like you are there but you are not there!
TO have control is …
TO have control is to let go of control. there is no body that is separate. you cant take a life for its not limited and was neverborn. the body is but shell for the eternal unborn uncreated. you are that buddha the infinite light. thats my opinion not that of buddhist teaching perhaps.
