Looks like he disrobed

They invented this thing of vegetarianism. The body needs meat. You don't commit any faults to eat a chicken. Your enlightened doesn't depend on what you eat, it is an energetic factor. When your energy is activated, you are connected to the Source.

So you are not monk anymore. What happened?

And this stance , in the end became Monk Sarana's undoing. Seen this so many times , specially among Burmese tradition "non Burmese" monks, the more vassa's the monk gains the more stress he gets himself under. I also was a huge supporter of MONK SHOULD NOT TOUCH MONEY . but seeing this ( another) disrobing based out of this now I AM NOT. I finally understand why Buddha made this as a lesser offence , that can be forgiven in upostha. How great and wise was our teacher Samana Gothama, a true sage worth venerating. Kelesa's oh man , how strong is Mara, and their deceptive defilements . Dullabo Pabbaja

The seed the Buddha planted is alive, which is the core essence of Buddhism, and this separates it from every other mythology or religion. Why people get confused over both schools in my opinion is this -- The Buddha started of with teaching his inner circles with more sophisticated teachings and slowly expanded to teach the outer circle a less complex teachings. The latter teachings were first revealed, and the former came out much later after the death of Guatama Sadhata. Why i think Mahayana is closer to the Buddha's core teachings is this. The Buddha on his way to sick enlightenment, went through many challenges, the key one being his disciples abandoning him when he gave up practising arseticism. Upon enlightenment, he didn't just disappear and stopped manifesting. Rather, he came back to share his enlightenment with others and showed them the way. Mahayana practices just that, whereas Theravada doesn't really practice that. In Theravada, once you reach Nirvana, you stop manifesting in this world, which from a Mahayanist point of view is dualistic.

The word we are looking for when we probe the difference between "Mindfulness" and "Awareness" is attention. Attention is ego driven as is mindfulness. Awareness is what mindfulness appears or arises in. "To what appearance does the appearance that appears appear to?" Stephen Wolinsky (Portals of the Absolute)

If killing is prohibited then how to eat meat 🍖...?

Can you explain how to practice the 16 respirations with awareness and how with mindfulness (the 2nd level thing) according to your experience ?

De’ja’Vu Lili The three lives lived of mortal man, each with a different view The feeling that you felt today, so strong and not misplaced You know that person, you know that place, you’ve felt the De’ja’Vu You also know that if approached, a blank stare on their face Would leave you asking if you’re sane, you turn your head away You know you’re sane, you know the scene, confusion is at play. - The more you think the more you’re lost but it’s all a part of fate It’s then you need hypnosis deep, the magick Mandrake root The Peyote and the incantations will bring your past life back You may not like what you may find, Black forbidden fruit Or past loves that you still love, revenge left lost and black If knowing is your only goal, the truth is absolute. - But if you want to immerse your soul in joining once again The people and the places lost you risk your present life You’ve only three and they won’t mix, you’ll only bring the pain The cards of life will not be shuffled thus, complications rife De’ja’Vu’s a two edged sword you’ll avoid if you accept The pleasures in the knowing and all it does contain. - But what of when you are approached, told by strangers to your side That you were part of their past life, Oh so long ago? The circle turns, you can’t recall, they are sure, they know that you have died You see the questions within their minds, you were called a different name A riddle to be pondered as you follow life’s slow flow. Blessed be.

Very interesting, thank you! The argument about four or five level sound to me fine but also a little bit neurotic. Just my opinion, thank you again to sharing! 🙏

There is no objective evidence for the existence of Nirvana, rebirth or something other mental states which we find in “Dharma”. It is certainly not a science. It is a kind of religion, but not religion in dogmatic, Abrahamic sense. Moreover there also could be for example Christians or Muslims who claim that they have experienced some higher states of consciousness, like Marian apparitions for instance. So even in Abrahamic religions we could find such “evidencial” justification for their beliefs. The same is about their faith - this faith is not about faith itself, but about revelations, so it also could be interpreted as kind of “evidence”

Too much BS lol That's also not how Karma works. This is an intellectual understanding of Karma based on books written thousands of years ago. One must go past intellect to experience the reality of these things. Dressing up like a monk won't do it Karma is intelligent. Numbers are man made. Karma mirrors you so you spiritually evolve. If you kill someone with ill intention, you will be killed so you experience first hand that killing is not lovely. There's no 500 or once. It does it til you learn. Could be 10000, could be 1 and if you genuinely from a bottom of your heart realize killing is bad, Karma is washed away from future births, but still have to deal with consequences in that life. What drives all of this is unconditional love, because that's your true nature

Today we Myanmar people heard that you was changing to be human being life . We wish you to be monk again after bad situations in Myanmar. We wanna see you again as a monk .

Thank you sir ❤

now i feel conned. i didnt know what i was doing, was at the lowest point of my life, contemplating s00icide every other hour, finally threw myself into buddhism (i loved zen), attended this meetup/ gathering, and before i knew it, it was the part where we were taking the Mahayana vows and all that. which i took! and then, a few years later down the road, after REALLY reading the Lotus Sutra, and finding out that the Mahayana has been calling names and insulting Theravada, and through a WHOLE BUNCH of really intense research, i realized there is SOMETHING REALLY WRONG with Mahayana (and Vajrayana). so, now im ALL-IN on theravada, because back then, i was completely ignorant and hadnt done enough research and study! will this make me an Oathbreaker?!? whats gonna happen to my kamma??? SIIIIGH.

The left seeks social justice through redistributive social and economic policies, while the right defends private property and capitalism. The nature of the conflict depends on existing social and political cleavages and on the level of economic development.

Where are you getting your information regarding Mahayana from? You're way off.

How do you know Sayadaw attain enlightened?

Here above the monk exposed himself with that one his so endearingly said phrase "...IN OUR THERAVADA...", perhaps. 😮

🙏🙏🙏

❤❤❤

What did the people of India and Nepal eat 2500 years ago? The Buddha was born into a Hindu family, along with much of these countries. It probably also became customary to serve vegetarian meals to monks and everyone, not just for religious reasons.

I really hope meeting you someday. You are really brave.

The speaker seems to have some misunderstanding about Mahayana. Speaker better discusses again with more practitioners

Already found nirvana yet its not a huge boom like i expected its more a slow growing peace that makes things empty like ideas point of view etc and if deep enough in it i cant give one f if in pain its helping to keep me alive

what do u do if are awake to a level yet am not a Buddhist? this ego knows what it is and that its fiction like right now no one is even writing this

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

I dont believe in western monk haha

Buddha,dhamma and sangha its rare but also a safe a place not much problems but living at 20% or less buddha,dhamma,sangha in your own country it feels like losing the truth.

Total nonsense

sadhu sadhu sadhu

If there is No Self (Annata) and no hard substance but just process does this mean only the Karma is transferred during the rebirth from one Individual to the next? And does this mean a individual is reborn not only after death but also in the mid of lifetime. Or another question: are some of the 5 Skandhas much longer present then others (for example a spirit that could be transferred) from one individual to the next? And maybe a last question: Could Nirwana something like a world-soul that is - in the form of Buddha Nature (as long as it is not just a potential to become Buddha) - eternal and already us, as all humans, and finally reached when we have left Samsara?

Buddha said to look within and find the truth. All that has to be done is for laypeople to be asked politely not to offer meat. We live in times of abundance generally speaking, meat eating should be for survival purposes just as it was in the beginning. True enlightenment will come when both monks, nuns and lay people understand this.
