"It is better to conquer one's own mind than to win a thousand battles."
-Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)

[himerosTheGod]

I see Buddhism as more a philosophy than a religion.

I sent an email to this guy and he answered it in a half an hour. I listen to these every day for encouragement. I am trying to get my life together because it is a Shit show. I just want to say that I love this person and everyone here

[paigeheartly]

I love Buddhism. Most peaceful/wise religion ever! I may be catholic but I want to live like a buddhist

[Ferminator]

All other religions that I know of seem to celebrate a divine being, whereas Buddhism teaches you to celebrate the divinity within yourself.
I love it! 🙏🏽

Out of all religions this one is the most useful. At least it describes the actual suffering in our minds.

The thing I love about Buddhism is that it preaches how to have a cool, calm, collected mind by adopting a simple life principle about lowering your desires. It's a simple, yet profound teaching that maximizes your potential to truly be at peace with how your life's going.

1. Attachment leads to suffering
2. Buddhism is about desiring the right things
3. Sensual pleasures leads to suffering
4. From misery grows beauty
5. Good company is important
6. A trained mind leads to happiness
7. Short term evil has long term consequences

[Maggasekha]

Buddhist monk here, This is pretty good compared to most generic Buddhist videos on youtube, good accurate dhammapada quotes and good choices of selected quotes. Theres a few things I could get nit-picky about, but for what this video is meant to be it is well done and better then most out there. :)

"Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point when it has served its purpose. Suffering is necessary until you realize that it is unnecessary." - Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks

I discovered and put into practice Meditation about five years ago. It has changed my life, my being. I no longer worry or hang on to things at all. I thought that was not possible but, to my delight, that voice in my head is now positive and does not listen to the negative vibes of the world or others. I will Meditate until the day I die. It works and it is beautiful.

This is why I’m drawn to Buddhism. I love the philosophical aspect rather than rules and mindless routine. It exercise our mind to understand nature of things and acceptance. I’m so glad I came across this channel.

“The problem is not enjoyment; the problem is attachment.” - Tilopa

[jaganraajan]

I attended a 10 days silent meditation retreat teaching the technique passed on by Buddha 6 months back. One of the most life changing experience I've had. I found inner peace. I still continue to meditate an hour a day till date

[shizzle]

I needed this channel 20yrs ago.
I’m grateful it’s here now.

[cedricgilmore]

Who wishes that they can spend the entire day meditated underneath the tree with Buddha I wish I was alive during that time. Who agrees with me

[willmcm]

A key piece of Buddhism is the idea of emptiness. It’s the idea that nothing has any inherent nature, and that everything is a projection of our own minds.

[aurelian]

All the Buddha quotes are so beautiful. They fill my heart with something I never experienced. And I think I finally found my religion. A religion that teaches how to live a healthy balanced life and focus on this one and finally end the viscous cycle.
