Nietzsche's Deepest Idea Explained
Nietzsche's eternal recurrence (or eternal return) is a life-changing idea. It is the idea your whole life - past, present, and future - repeats exactly as it is, forever. On the face of it, this is an abstract notion, totally irrelevant to lived experience. But should you dare to take it seriously, should you dare to assume it could be true, the eternal return reveals its terrifying depth. It reveals, also, its potential to change your life forever.

This Is How Desire Tricks You

How To Face Suffering | Nietzsche & Buddha
Переглядів 45 тис.2 місяці тому
Friedrich Nietzsche and the Buddha see the encounter with suffering as the wellspring of wisdom. This video explores how pain and suffering, far from being mere obstacles, can be transformative forces in our lives. Through Nietzsche's perspective on the necessity of suffering for growth and the Buddha's teachings on dukkha and the path to its cessation, we uncover a powerful message of resilien...
Buddhist Karma & Rebirth Explained
Переглядів 77 тис.3 місяці тому
The law of karma and rebirth is one of the bedrock teachings of the Buddha. It is also one of the most problematic ones. To some, karmic rebirth seems like outdated superstition. It ruins the image of Buddhism as a rational philosophy of life. Within the Buddhist tradition too, karma and rebirth raise difficult questions. If the Buddha taught only the no-self doctrine or karma and rebirth, ever...
Is Evolution The Awakening Of God?
Переглядів 15 тис.4 місяці тому
Does existence have meaning? Does evolution have a purpose? And does your life have any Cosmic significance? Here we follow philosopher Ken Wilber and novelist Nikos Kazantzakis on a journey into the mysteries of existence. We explore the meaning of life, the nature of God, and our place in the universe. But really, the idea we explore is quite simple. That is - that evolution is God waking up....

    I believe there is something like karma. After we die (and we don't really die) the veil of delusion is lifted and you can feel everything you have done to other people and creatures and are given a chance to return to fix that. Everyone is born innocent though. I think the compassion with life will make you want to fix whatever you had done. We all form a higher consciousness which you may call Gaia, and are something like ''cells'' of that living creature. And though individual cells in your body don't know much about you they form the synergy which makes you who you are. Same with Gaia. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

    interesting idea. but for one who rejects notions of the supernatural, he ends up with an essentially supernatural idea. kind of like a conspiracy theorist who desperately seeks meaning so that they invent an ultimate cause ridiculing the religious. "lots of artists say they want to live on in their work. i'd like to live on in my apartment."

    A single moment of Misunderstanding is so POISONOUS that it makes us forget the 100 other lovable moments spent together. So my take on this, when we completely trust someone, we will end up with one of the 2 outcomes, A Mangal Kalyankari friend for life or a lesson for life. Both, regardless of the outcome will be a priceless learning experience. A simple 3 step tea filter will help us in saving our priceless bonds and will be a counter measure for the beast (anger) residing inside us for countless births, before we speak, PAUSE & REFLECT: 1st Fliter....ask yourself..IS IT TRUE? 2nd Filter...IS IT NECESSARY? 3rd Filter...IS IT KIND? You will progress in your Sadhana like anything. जब जागें करुणा ही जागे. Namoh Budhaya 🙏✨️

    Actually, I've never heard this concept before. I naively thought that buddhism taught about the reincarnation of a soul (or a true self, so to speak). To be honest, I don't quite understand this concept. How can there be "no-self" but have a karma at the same time? If anyone would explain it to me or tell me what to read or watch to learn more I'd be very grateful. 🙏🏻

    If you are watching this video, we are in a specific moment in time and space, where you and I know this knowledge simultaneously. We become entangled through wisdom, in knowing the self. I use my power to pause everything, to stop time and steal your attention away. Hear my thoughts as i declare you as the better half of the self. You are beyond time, and space, and any label. You are nameless, therefore you can be anything. You are limitless, therefore you can go anywhere, any time, regardless of location. You are infinite, therefore you can know all wisdom, you can experience all things. You wonder how this can be, okay allow me to try and explain. Imagine all experiences in your own life happened and not yet happened, all stored in video or jpeg format in a cloud account. Now, you have direct access to all of these experiences at any moment. You can see long virtual ribbons of these frozen experiences. You see a specific ribbon experience and wish to live that experience. The "next day" upon waking, you find your current self beginning to experience that ribbon you desired. Our lives are a categorized series of frozen film ribbons, we chose which frozen film ribbon we shall live out "tomorrow" by the decisions and conscious choices we make "daily". I have chosen you and i release all of my faith and gratitude into you. Go forth now, and make wise decisions, live righteous and help everyone you can. Enough of us do this, a reality shift will occurr and everything will flip to its correct direction. Believe in this, and live this, and i promise you, we will change reality together!

    I am born to a Buddhist family, I learnt buddhist teaching and try to follow its way of living. However still my understanding is not very clear. I haven't tried meditating enough. When I started it, I have given up soon and never continued long enough. I have come across non buddhists few times in my life who has started in buddhas path and I was surprised to know how well they know about Buddha's teaching and way better than me who was born as buddhist. 10 years ago I met a guy from Germany at my workplace, he was a christian and has learnt a lot about Buddhism and was meditating for many years. Very recently came across a person who was born in christian family and started meditating with some guidance from meditating monks. She has started way later in life after almost 50 and in few years has achieved what all buddhist are just dreaming of achieving. I was thinking what is my excuse not to try. IMO as buddhist we have listen to too many people and know too much about buddhism as a religion so that our mind is not blank on the subject. However for someone who is very new to the teachings and enter the path at an age when they can analyse the teachings they understand it way better and advance in the path in just few years compared to many buddhist who don't achive in the path of nirvna in their life otherthan collecting lots of good karma by their practice throughout their lives. Question is how can we make this right, go back to the beginning and start from a clean slate and then follow the path.

    Buddhism is nihilistic BS. It was one of the driving forces behind the Killing Fields in Cambodia. ("You failed to start by cleaning toilet #1; you chose toilet #6 to clean first, against my explicit order to clean toilet #1 first. Thereofre, you have not been a pure-enough Buddhist, and I now shoot you dead, so that the glorious Cambodia of the future will be populated by only good Buddhists.") I've never encountered a Buddhist who wasn't a pompous asshole, trying to turn 'Compassion' into a brand to sell. Buddhism took one third of Vedanta and tried to spin it into a full-fledged religion. A fool's errand. If you want spirituality, study Vedanta instead, which includes Brahman and Atman, the two-thirds at which Buddhists turn up their ignorant noses, while they obsess on Maya alone.

    The four noble truths: Existence is Duḥkha (Suffering.) We never get what we want and then what we do get, we lose it. Tṛishṇā (Thirst) is the cause of Duḥkha. We are never satisfied. ṇivvāṇa (quenching or extinguishing) is the end of Tṛishṇā (Thirst). Mārga (The path of knowledge and liberation from ignorance) brings ṇivvāṇan and ends Tṛishṇā (Thirst) and Duḥkha.

    Questions on his perspective: - how literally would repetition be, can one life differ from a next? - would “love” change the repetition? - what decides the fictive person named you has this repetition? - what decides that “others” might have different content of this repetition? - are there others? - since beginning and ending is an intellectual thing and doesnt exist on the deepest, why would there be repetition of something. - if this life had no meaning or purpose why would love be it; would that not make life a school to learn how to love? - How would this match the countless NDE’s and medical herb experiences?
