Sunyata is not a philosophy, it is an experience

She makes an excellent point about differentiating between Thai (or indeed any) culture and Buddhist culture. 🙏

I did not realize you are Chatsumarn Kabil Sing. I read your book Thai Women in Buddhism many years ago. I thought you had ordained (earlier?) in a different tradition. I understand that the ordination of women can carry on in Thailand with enough senior nuns in the country.

I understand a certain number of ordained monks/nuns are required to ordain a person. Are there now enough ordained women in Thailand to carry on women’s ordination in Thailand? I applaud this. Chatsumarn Kabil Singh ordained in Taiwan (I think) but not in the Theravada tradition.

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.

Actually, (you made me take pause and think about this) fear still triggers imagination, and imagination is still 'creativity'. Constructive creativity comes from utilising from the imagination and choosing ones response carefully and cautiously. We cannot avoid creativity in the process of thinking. Thinking in itself is creativity or rather, imagination (which most thoughts are) is creativity, but constructive creativity is to utilise/use selected information from that to implement into day to day life to serve causes. The greatest lesson is not to allow imagination to hinder ones self and that proves to be difficult for many people. Creativity can be constructive or deconstructive/limiting and restricting, or propelling and progressive. From my experience, meditation equips us to 'eat the fruit and spit out the pips'

Thank you 😊

This brought me to a new understanding of metta. I tried liking everything and everyone and it just wouldnt work. This motivated me to redouble my studies. Thank you for your words of wisdom.

🤣🤣🤣 well, this presentation was absolutely full of emptiness.

2 comments! Seriously!? For 4 years!?

That's how they fool you 😂😂😂

Buddhism is older than islam

It’s nice to see Buddhists and Muslims not fighting in the comment section

01:56

That's why I don't like Thai Monks!

Bhuddhist don't believe in god or heaven as it is core concepts of Islam religion..heaven is reserved for Islam n Christ..

Não. Chega de esperar. Devemos exigir que o Dalai Lama volte em um corpo feminino.

How much intellectual a person belonging to Islam may be, his tendency of being apologetic when it comes to Muslims and Islam doesn’t go.

Is she talking about gratitude?

anybody kindly suggest me any course that is available online that can teach me powerful form of meditation 🧘‍♂️ 🙏

Joking about Hell - you are a f00I! 👎

Buddhism WILL lead you to Hell. Hell is REAL. You WILL go there if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Watch Dominic Morrow's Hell NDE testimonies. For FAR MORE HORROR read his ebook - 3 Minutes and 47 Seconds in Hell.

Only Christ Jesus can take away suffering… at the end of time when He establishes His new earth and heaven then he will wipe every tear and takes away sadness and suffering… come today to Christ whilst theres still time

On Ordination into the Tibetan tradition: I am going to play the Devil's Advocate here because I think another point of view is necessary. I disagree. Motivation is not the most important thing. You can have Bodhicitta in every situation everywhere, if you even know what Bodhicitta really is! Ordination is not a game. It is your life. So, putting ALL of your life in a balanced, safe, and sufficient path for your development is the point. Reality and practicality are the most important points. Ordination is a wonderful help, but it is not necessary. If you are going to ordain in America, there is no fooling around with "pie-in-the-sky" hopefulness. The decision to ordain has very serious financial and medical consequences for social security and retirement, not to mention health insurance. It's not La-La land. What about your family? What will they think and do? Will they stand by you, and support you in this decision? What if you get very sick in several years, can't pay your medical bills because you don't have any medical insurance?, will they be there to help you, because the sangha, at this stage, can't? This happens. If your monastery folds thru lack of financial support as the economy worsens, then what are you going to do and where will you go? Do you have the necessary skills to support yourself in that scenario? This happens. Will your family still talk to you? This happens! It would not be a bad idea to speak to a lawyer in elder law and discuss with him what your status would be later in retirement. Without working, social security may not even be available for you by then! Think! Anyone who speaks to you about ordination should be discussing these practical matters with you. If you do not think carefully, you may find that you have burned all your bridges and are left completely alone, without friends or support. It has happened to a lot of us. Misplaced trust. "Be prepared! That's the Boy Scouts' Golden Rule!" Even those of us who trusted and gave our lives to the lamas and the dharma in years and years and years of retreat and attainment, are at the end, left with absolutely nothing. Family all died, no friends, no support, no contacts, no help or assistance, no place to live, no nothing, a greatly attained nun, an Arhant from Albuquerque, shining with joyful light, but hungry, thin, and dying all alone of fever in a shack in Mexico, because that is all anyone offered her, while the irresponsible lamas, her own teachers for all those years, are fat and comfy in the USA, living in comfort, the center has empty rooms and many of the sangha are doctors and nurses!! I cannot express how angry this made me and how it completely destroyed my faith and trust. Don't trust anybody! Make sure you will be safe, no matter what. Do not assume anything! Be sure you are in control of your future and not depending on anyone else or their promises. You must have shelter and finances. If Ordination doesn't work out, you can leave, but then what? Do you have a leg to stand on? That is why I recommend you finish your education and work for two years before deciding to take ordination. You need maturity, experience, references, family, and outside contacts to help you in case it does not work out. It is not always obvious on the surface what situations really are or who people really are and what their motivations are. You don't want to enter a cult-like situation, which is so easy to be swept into for anyone, and if the situations change and become abusive and cult-like, which has often happened in many different groups, you want to be able to get out. If you need to leave, you need outside contacts, friends, and enough money to get started again. Even if you ordain, you are completely on your own. The Sangha will never reach out to you in any way, in friendship or support. They do not have the means to help you. You are either on the bus or off the bus. There is no in-between. Its a very lonely and difficult road. In the Tibetan tradition also, you will have no personal guidance in developing meditation samadhis for Enlightenment as you would have in the Zen tradition or in the Theravada tradition as a laywoman. There is no one to talk to to guide you directly. The bias against women is a real obstacle to getting any advanced training. You may receive so many wonderful initiations, but there is no further guidance! It seems completely hopeless to tears. Altho you do your best, your life is wasted, trusting they are leading you in the right direction. Are they? They want to keep you at the lowest possible levels, cooking, cleaning, working in the office, and telling you that you are creating merits by this grunt work while they advise you to "pray for rebirth as a man!" . Never any regularly scheduled times for meditation as in the Zen tradition, but just chanting, prayers, and physical exhaustion. Other than that, your life as an ordained person in some traditions will just be memorizing prayers and performing rituals. Do you enjoy that? Does it help you? Is that all ordination is for? The Buddha spoke strongly against the excessive ritual performed by Hindus of his day. As a prince, he was trained in them, As a yogi for ten years or more with two separate gurus, he performed many. He did not find that rituals led to a greater understanding of reality. Performing excessive rituals is not why people seek ordination. Study, meditation and guidance toward realization and Enlightenment is the reason why you took ordination! In some traditions, your development in meditation is a real threat to maintaining the status quo and is actively discouraged by their daily schedule and requirements. So look carefully. They may also actively discourage you from ever being alone. so that you can meditate. Red flag for a cult! Red! You should think carefully about these things and what the dynamics of the situation really are. Who is the wizard behind the curtain of Oz? Tell yourself the truth before you act. What do you really need and can you get it? Does it seem to you that there is leadership interested in your development, or do they just want to harass you and tell you that is dharma training, like the RIgpa organization and the Shambala organization? It is NOT! There are vicious narcissists in the sangha who love to bully you as well as anywhere else! Be on your guard! "Be ye wise as foxes and as gentle as doves." In the end, with a good environment and the right conditions, ordination is like fourth gear! Meditation will improve by leaps and bounds and deep satisfaction will be yours. However, ordination is not necessary for realization. Meditation is. One last word of warning: if you find that the overall tone is negative and never uplifting, excessively pejorative, why be there? The higher Mahayana Sutras are full of joy and the descriptions of attainment and encouragement to progress in meditation. They are full of descriptions of the wonderful qualities that develop in meditation practice. If fear and subservience dominate the environment, the ritual words elevate one and dominate another, and the teachings you are getting and every word you hear harps on negativity of one sort or another, or one weakness or another, always pushing your spirit down, dominating you by fears and dreads and hierarchy, instead of encouraging attainment, lifting you up, presenting samadhi levels and how to recognize them, what the obstructions and difficulties are at that level to break thru and how to do it, then what is the point? If you never hear about Enlightenment and its wonderful qualities, why be there? It turns out to be just a control technique to lower some and elevate others. That's not right. Watch out for medieval and feudal attitudes hidden in the rituals, because they are there. Do not let them bamboozle you into false humility, subservience, and obsequiousness. Pay attention to the psychology of the dynamic and its effect on you long term. Remember this line from Boy George: "Some people want to use you. Some people want to be used by you". Think about it. Balance. You do not have to be ordained to have really good practice. Just as there are Fundamentalist Christians who take everything literally and love to thump hellfire and damnation, there are also Buddhists like that. But the Buddha spoke realization and enlightenment based on a thorough understanding of our own mind and mental states. So we should also remember that beauty on the horizon is possible and attainable. If you aren't getting there, keep looking. Study well and sit well. Traditionally, monks travel to many monasteries seeking instruction. Will you have enough money to go? Do not be a Pollyanna and think that everything will work out okay. Maybe not! Be responsible. In our society, it is not fair for you to make an irresponsible decision that will impact your friends and family negatively down the road and leave you mooching off them for your survival. Be wise. I found that real practice began when I started working and that my job transformed into my Guru. I never practiced harder than I did when I was working. Let that comfort you. If you study, you see the Dharma practice and what to do everywhere.

Re-doing addictive patterns. It is the cigarette smoking. It is the coffee many cups. It is the not eating when hungry. It is studying over limit. It is sex with self. Buddha.🙏📿
