This video looks at ‘Buddhism and Happiness’, as we ask are they a match made in heaven or something else? This eight minute epic reveals some incredible insights into human behaviour and values that impact our happiness, particularly in this materialistic Western life so many are living, or reaching for.

The Dalai Lama’s talk is from his ‘the quest for happiness’ public talk in Adelaide during his ‘Beyond Religion’ tour in Australia.

While we would have ideally used footage of Tibetan monks in this video, we were unable to and instead used footage from our recent trip to Burma, where we acknowledge there may be subtle differences in how Buddhism is practiced. We do not mean to offend anyone by this and if you would like to fly us to Tibet to re-film this we’ll happily take up the offer.

If the Government would really be conscious of the danger that this
handicapped and his handicapped people pose to the entire world, he will
be no more.
they don’t know how dangerous those are….
i shall enlighten them. we shall have a conversation about the manipulation
and the poisoning that is going on there and maybe shut them down forever.
No more of this bullshit!

Hi. I am looking to find a book that teaches and educates me about Buddhism
and all it’s ideals. I wish to learn about being a Buddhist with the
intention of being a Buddhist. Can someone be so kind as to point me out
the name of a book (and even more kind to provide the author as well) to
me. Please thumbs this up so it stays in view to increase my chances of
finding a book. Thank you.

WINDTALKER300 says:

Happiness , has to be given to you by God and the Angels in Heaven who
control your life on earth ,we all have predetermined pathways on earth,
and we only have enough free will to believe , so all that we feel think ,
choose , is done through us all emotions are given to us , and we are
powerless on earth.

This is so we can learn from the many lessons that this world has too offer
,us . we cannot create peace within ourselves or create greater abundance
or what ever makes us happy has to be given to us from Heaven , so all that
we are we have no choice to be

Dalai Lama is a man of peace yet disillusioned people calls him a demon.
True demon are those green eyed jealous monsters who thinks their belief is
the truth, whereas in actual fact, they’ve been brainwashed into believing
something they don’t even know nor understand and merely in their
imagination, they conjure cock and bull images of what’s right and wrong.
Let’s face it, believing nonsense is like believing Optimus prime saved the
world, hence everyone should praise him and wear his symbol. Why praise,
when all you need is to improve yourself and within yourselves… sad sad
confused people!

Refuting the believe that the Dalai Lama is a sincere and pure buddhist
practitioner and teacher by using his words and comparing it with Buddhas
wisdom:
ANGER SOLVES NOTHING

We must admit that sometimes the Dalai Lama tells the truth. Some days ago
a friend of mine showed me a magazine with a Dalai Lama interview, in it
the Dalai Lama says the following and I quote:
There is no much sense in me speaking about myself. It is better that other
people do it. What I know is that when I was a child I was a character, but
I have changed. Nowadays, I get angry from time to time, like for example
not long ago in Madrid. It was in the hotel waiting for my luggage to
arrive to the hotel, and it was not arriving. No one knew anything about
it. How silly! It should be somewhere. So I lost my temper. But it was for
a good reason: in my luggage there was my Tibetan medicine and I have
stomach pain, so I need it. In general I think that emotions and
intelligence come together. The emotions are part of our life but
intelligence must control them. In my case, when emotions come out my
wisdom and experience help me. However sometimes they appear in my dreams.
I see myself fighting with people. I hold something in my hand and I try to
hit them, but then I remember in my dream that I am a monk and I should not
fight. Sometimes I also dream with women. Yes attractive women… The Dalai
Lama laughs and speaks in Tibetan that Thetong translates: . The Dalai Lama keeps laughing: ,
that is a very low comment, Can you imagine Shantideva, Milarepa, Atisha o
Yhe Tsonkhapa stating such a low , insulting and ordinary comment?
Is this the persona appointed to represent the Buddhist path in this world?
For me is just a clown, a show man and a very, very ordinary person full of
delusions and with no capacity or will to overcome them.
PD- The interview was in the Spanish magazine “El semanal” 9 of July 2005
Nº 923.

What is Buddhism?

Buddhism is the philosophy that says, Life is Suffering.

This is correct. No more needs be said.

Sometimes the only way to accomplish peace is with your fist. Repeatedly,
until the opposing party gets the point of your message.
