Explosive ending though.
we’re BuddhisteCatholic …
I have seen these words attributed to Einstein, but have never seen an actual reference or source quoted.
Sensational! Love it! Outstanding lecture! Very educational! I can’t ask for more, thank you professor Lancaster!
Buddhism makes sense. It encourages people to seek knowledge.
All of the comments I have read are amusing. Armchair Quarterbacks all of you. What is most important is the sincere practice of the buddhist faith. Its history is important but your personal journey is moreso
Greco-Buddhism, sometimes spelt Graeco-Buddhism, refers to the cultural syncretism between Hellenistic culture and Buddhism, which developed between the 4th century BCE and the 5th century CE
@ kawilik: Einstein never said that, it’s an apocryphal statement. Look in his speeches or in anything he wrote, he never said that. I am a Buddhist myself, and it would have been nice if Einstein had said that, but he didn’t.
So far as relics goes, the Buddha’s relics are mentioned in the Mahaparinibbana-Sutta a.k.a. The Buddha’s Final Nirvana, in the Digha-nikaya. Check out Rupert Gethin’s Sayings of the Buddha, published by Oxford World’s Classics.
cont…
What Einstein did say : The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.
Mr. Lancaster’s overall presentation was a good one. However, as an American Buddhist I can’t help but feel he misrepresented some of the integral aspects of the Teaching, especially when talking about the transmission of the Teaching from one country to another. Not once did he mention the Four Noble Truths by name, nor their commonness to all.
mallidevarak! The Buddha did not mention relics in the Thuparaha Sutta (Anguttara Nikaya) or those worthy of a stupa in the Mahaparinibbana Sutta? If that is what you’re saying then I think you’d better do some more reading.
Very effective way to the modern world to think of true natural law towards betterment of day to day life. through a portable religion…”Do it your self Religion” Thank you Mr.Lewis Lancaster…you have done a wonderful start towards wonderful portable religion….
@ hebalott: Shamanism is indeed arguably the world’s oldest religion, but it’s not the world’s oldest “portable” religion. Shamanism is not “evangelical” per se, and it is bound by language and geography.
Buddhist monks does not beg for foods.
I beliv shamanism is the oldest religion.
Dr Burke is talking about the Buddhism that has been created by Asians as “religion” and added to it all kinds of traditions like the “relics’ he is talking about…It is not the real Buddhism. It is not a religion it is a philosophy that Lord Buddha introduced.. that does not have relics, traditions, drumming, dancing, drawings etc etc…I do not think Dr B knows about the reality about what Buddhism is…
Thanks for this video, learned quite a bit.
Amazing and truely informative with a good conlusion.
Buddhist monks and nuns DO NOT take a vow of poverty. Read the 227 regula–poverty ain’t mentioned.
Very nice lecture.
Actually, I never heard or witnessed this lecture at all; I just interacted with neural patterns erupting between my ears, eyes and brain. So how to know if what Lancaster said is true, or if he as a man bis trustworthy, since–according to him–I can have no real knowledge of either? This pseudo-wisdom’s only power is that its self-contradictory character makes it hugely popular to the contemporary (especially ‘academic’) mind.
Correction of your miscorrection: Sorry, he actually says that Buddhism was introduced to Japan via Korean Monks not monks from China.
What’s the deal with elitism? Do you think only people born into poverty in the east can be Buddhist?
And Buddhism is not to be complained about, Judeo-Christian beliefs are cause for a lot of the world’s strife.
correction: does he not mean that CHINA was introduced to Japan by the Koreans, not that Korea was introduced to Japan by the Koreans??
Let’s stop killing world all of you.
