U got another sub:)

Well done!

Great stuff. I’m reminded how much ACT borrows from Buddhism in so many ways as you explain here. The pain of presence and absence, the struggle with the conceptual self, the acknowledgment of suffering. I love the resurgence of these ideas in the modern day.

If we are not free then who is practicing the 4 noble truth that requires a sense of self?

This teaching is ignorant. Evil is very real. The Holocaust was evil.

Instead of pursuing happiness, find happiness in the pursuit.

Loved this episode

I really like this podcast - thanks Noah! It has been very helpful.

Unsatisfactoriness, as you describe it here, seems to have been the main, overarching feeling of my adult life. Sometimes raging, sometimes just simmering in the background. But always there. This constant nagging feeling of not being in the right career, not being in the right relationship (and when I'm not in a relationship, the constant feeling of "my needs of connection are not being met, what if they will never be met?"), of "I'm not doing what I should be doing but I don't know what it is that I should be doing"... it's so draining. I numbed it with alcohol for a long time but I'm trying to get off of that. But then the unsatisfactoryness remains. I've meditated on and off in recent years. I'm trying to establish a regular practice. Moments where this feeling subsides have been rather few and far between.

Something to add to this is that if you took the whole experience of life from birth to death, then this experience could be played on just about any human brain. The only caveat is that the full immersion life movie would be slightly different if played on some brains. But it would still kind of be the same movie, only synesthesia or whatever alteration caused by how the brain perceives the input. In essence, my eyes are capable of seeing what your eyes can also see.

Thank you

You're starting to lose me with this one. I'm trying to approach this with an open mind. I'm thinking I shouldn't let this stop me from learning the rest of Buddhism, because the principles resonate with me, but I think you went few places that are stretch too far. You told your Palestinian tour guide that your previous tour guide was a Jew, and asked him what he is, and he answered "human." You imprinted your ideology on that answer and went off on this deep pontification, and you did that because your cup is full. The people in that place do not believe in Buddhist ideology, so whatever he said has nothing to do with anything as profound as what you think it did. Empty your cup and think about what else that could mean, particularly what he might be saying about your first tour guide.

Thank you

Tnx a lot

Thanks

Thank-you

Thank you!

Secular Buddhism seems to me like saying you want Dhamma without the Buddha, or the Buddha without the Dhamma. Either way, the result is atheism… with incense and pillow-sitting. It is quite possible to recreate the core ideas of the Buddha through the oldest writings in the Pali Canon. In those original teachings, rebirth is at the core. Discard it, and the entire structure of the Buddha’s teachings begins to unravel. What is left is very little of substance - something no less or more helpful than acupuncture, deep-tissue massage, self-help woo, and the arts. Why use Buddhism to describe it? Just call it secularism. Such a complex road to get to everyday secularism seems to me very unnecessary.

Thank you for your podcasts. They’ve really helped me in a dark time of my life. Solid gold. ☺️

my counselor actually showed me this podcast when i was in the hospital for attempting suicide. i greatly appreciate this podcast nam myoho renge kyo☸️

thank you for this podcast

Love these videos

Awesome. Thank you.

Thanks 😢

The .podcast series is seriously life changing. Highly underrated and truly a hidden gem. Your insights on things has helped me so much throughout my life. You are truly inspiring.

You could have cut the first 5 mins of this.

Resignation is seeing the truth and watching it. Acceptance is seeing the truth and acting on it.

Adults and teens should try some of these as well!

Thanks 🙏

Gracias Noah

Great podcast mate 👍

Noah would you be more in line with Buddhadasa’s view and Zen.

it has been a while since you posted. I was actually wondering how you are doing. I live in Long beach, CA (in L.A. County) and just curious when you might be coming here for a seminar. I just hope that you can teach us more often. Take care Noah.

Enjoyed the Build!

Yesssirrr

Wow that dissolved 40 years of wrong thinking. I listened to the whole thing with ears wide open. Thank you! Btw I loved what you ended it with that you finally feel inner peace when you stop running away from and running towards things. Being happy with the status quo is healing.

As someone who hang glides and I bought a paramotor.... your flying analogy was great. I really enjoyed this podcast. Thank you

I love your podcast. Thanks for spreading this wisdom ❤🎉

Noah Buddhism has heavenly realms and hellish realms and hungry ghost realms and so does Hinduism of course it’s temporary more of like a purgatorial sense but they have hell realms and heavenly realms just like Christianity, Judaism ,Islam.

Noah is really something amazing.

The Tetris analogy is a good one. Ironically, though, I used Tetris at several points in my life to distract myself from the real world lol

I like the analogy with the hammered finger.

Happy New Year, Noah. Good to hear from you again via youtube Buddhism. However, it has been a while since your last youtube posting and it seems like being less frequent. I guess that you are losing some motivation? Anyway, I would love to hear from your more and learn from you more. thank you.

Thanks for this heading into 2024!

To understand everything is to forgive everything.

Buddha said the root of all suffering is Desire and/or Attachment, yet as the sentient, self-aware, conscious beings, capable of intelligence we are, desire and attachment will spring forth from that. Attachment is born of procreation and the associated to pair bonding in the rearing of the offspring. It was intended for humans to suffer or it wouldn't be one of the absolutes of human life...pain, suffering, death and learning. No human has escaped those 4. All other things being possible, yes, but not guaranteed. When you think about it since death is a guarantee of life here, it wouldn't be a huge stretch to suggest that, here, life is a death sentence.

It amazing how many times I have to remind myself that the journey is the goal.

I've thought for a while now: Pain is a fact, growth is a choice.

I'm so glad to be starting this adventure!

Mormonism Abraham, Issac, Joseph and Joseph Smith three middle eastern hebrews and a European goy more than 2000 years later. OK.
