The three or four kinds of Buddhism

(The East Made Simple) Every major school (sect, tradition, yana or "vehicle") of Buddhism explained: What each one actually believes, teaches, and attempts to practice. The division is usually Theravada (10%) keeping as close as possible to the teachings of the historical Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama, Shakyamuni) versus all the others aligning with later interpretations, changes, watering down the message or changing it altogether to build a grand boat that calls itself the "Great Vehicle" or Mahayana (90%). But Vajrayana, a Himalayan (Bhutanese, Nepalese, Tibetan, Mongolian, Russian) school of Esoteric Buddhism, combining many occult Hindu practices (tantra, mantra, yoga, etc.) may also be distinguished or Japanese Zen (a combination of Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto, and Buddhism, but Japan prefers faith-based universalism, Nichiren Shōshū, like most of the rest of the world to pray and receive help from another-power to do all the heavy lifting to deliverance) even though all three are considered Mahayana sects.

Bruce Lee on Muscle Beach, Los Angeles

(Bruce Lee: The Dragon's Legacy) Bruce Lee was at Muscle Beach in Los Angeles, when a 315-pound strongman said, "Real men have mass" — six seconds later

In 1971, Bruce Lee was enjoying a day with his wife Linda Lee Cadwell and family at "Muscle Beach," a portion of Venice Beach next to Santa Monica under LAX's flight path, when Kurt Wagner — a 315-pound strongman who could deadlift 750 pounds — publicly challenged his Buddhist/Taoist/Chinese philosophy.

What happened in the next six seconds shocked the entire "Muscle Beach" crowd and changed strength culture forever.

This is the untold story of when raw power met precision, when mass confronted understanding, and when a world-champion strongman learned that everything he believed about strength was incomplete.

🥋 The confrontation that Muscle Beach never forgot

🥋 How a 135-pound man dropped a 315-pound giant in six seconds

🥋 The solar plexus strike that penetrates through muscle

🥋 Why mass without wisdom is just weight to carry

🥋 The strongman who became Bruce Lee's student

Kurt Wagner thought his 315 pounds of muscle made him unstoppable. Bruce Lee showed him that technique, properly applied, can overcome any size advantage — not through luck, not through tricks, but through deep understanding of anatomy, physics, and human movement.

This is the legacy of Bruce Lee teaching that real strength isn't measured in pounds, but in wisdom and understanding.

Joe Rogan: This is impossible 

(The Hidden Record) Only Dr. Joel Wallach (criticalhealthnews.com) knows what killed legendary and superhuman Bruce Lee (Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, Chinese martial arts). It was his bad diet, going to extremes, killed by gluten and insufficient micro and macro nutrients.

(Buddhism Podcast) June 26, 2025: Buddhism Explained. [Who’s watching? There is watching; the question assumes a watcher, a habit of our customary way of thinking built into the language with nouns that do verbs. But if watching is only an impersonal process, then what?]

What if [that which or] the one who watches our thoughts is just another thought? This video gently follows a deep question in Buddhism: Who observes the observer?

• Understanding the perfection of wisdom: it is all impersonal, empty (shunyata), not-self (anatta).

Step by step, we walk through the layers of awareness, the habit of searching, and the quiet freedom beyond identity.

Through the Buddha’s teachings, the Dharma, we see how presence needs no owner. We don’t have to become anyone — we’ve never been apart from this presence. It has always been here.

What sets Buddhism apart? (Ego podcast)

What sets Buddhism apart from other religions?

Ego Podcast (Buddhism) Feb. 23, 2025: Buddhism Explained. Experience a wisdom that permanently transforms – not just temporarily soothes. When we hear the word “wisdom,” we often imagine calming, wise sayings that bring a temporary sense of peace.

But the Buddha’s wisdom goes far beyond that. This video explores how the Buddha’s teachings offer a transformative training of the mind/heart -- a real path to ending suffering (disappointment, pain, misery) rather than merely providing comforting words. Discover:

• Beyond the Surface: How conventional wise sayings compare with the deep, practical training offered by the Buddha.
• The Buddha’s approach to identifying suffering as stemming from our own desires and cravings.
• The Real Problem and True Transformation: Why true wisdom demands dissecting (analyzing) the mind to see the real causes of suffering.
• How the Buddha’s insight into the nature of craving (tanha) and clinging (upadana) leads to genuine liberation (nirvana).
• The Training of Wisdom: The role of the Noble Eightfold Path and threefold training (virtue, concentrated calm, and insight) in cultivating lasting inner peace.
• Practical steps to replace superficial wisdom with a transformative, embodied understanding.

Alan Watts: Return to the Forest

Taoism is widely misunderstood in the West

Afterall, what is more important, mere knowledge or direct experience of the Truth? Should we all be Presbyterians in our booths and pews or Shamans, savage and wild, daring to venture out into that scary forest beyond the township? Who are we, Young Goodman Brown? In Asia, in the ancient culture of China, which is the cultural result of a fusion of three great philosophies -- Confucianism (for the home life), Taoism (for the left home life), and Buddhism (for the Middle Way that avoids all extremes) -- there is that same tension. Many of us want to be held by house and run a household, trapped and miserable, expecting to find happiness and fulfillment there. Of course. Where else would it be? It's all we see all around us. But there is another ancient source of happiness which, if successful, does produce fulfillment or can like nothing else. We might call that shamanism, the nonreliance on priests, intermediaries, and the consensus reality they dictate. Ultimately, each human must see for herself (or himself) can come to know things first-hand. Alan Watts, the great communicator to the West of Eastern philosophies, brings this idea together from various cultures, including the Hindu ideal of the sannyasin or vānaprastha. Watts also explains the deeper meaning of the mandala (a stockaded community, village or city, a ring of defense around the center). He was inspired by American mythologist Joseph Campbell.

NOTE: There are many more Buddhists in the world than get counted, and this is because communist China leaves over 1,000,000,000 (1 billion+) Buddhists uncounted for political and ideological reasons.

This is the same speech with different aural qualities for relistening.

Why scientists turn to Buddhism: The hidden science in Buddhism

Einstein thinks Buddhism is best for science

(The best Philosophy of Life) UNITED STATES. What is the relationship between Buddhism and science? It is a fascinating study that bridges ancient wisdom and modern knowledge-seeking. Both Buddhism and empirical science strive to understand the true nature of reality, albeit through different methodologies and perspectives. While Buddhism focuses on the inner experiences and transformative practices leading to enlightenment, science relies on empirical evidence and logical reasoning to uncover the laws governing the natural world. Despite these differences, there are significant areas of convergence where Buddhist teachings and scientific discoveries resonate and complement each other.

Buddhism and Science: Collected Essays

It is a historical fact that the scientific revolution that arose in the 17th century in the West was largely responsible for upsetting the earlier religious conception of the universe. Not only did science controvert the specific dogmas of Western religions, but it seemed to have undermined the foundations as well as the fundamental concepts implicit in the religious outlook on things.

The new cosmology of Copernicus, Galileo, and their successors altered the geocentric [earth at the center] picture of the universe although it was pronounced to be “contrary to the Holy Scriptures.” The new biology (theory of evolution) upset the doctrines of the special creation and the fall of man.

And the new psychology seemed to show that the human mind, like the physical body, worked on a pattern of causal law and that however deep one plumbed its depths, there was not discoverable in it an unchanging soul that governed its activities entirely.

EQ, BA (Supawan Green)

But much more serious was the effect of the scientific outlook on the general religious attitude, which involved a belief in a personal God, in purpose, and in the objectivity of moral values.

Science made its discoveries and progressed quite comfortably on the assumption of universal causation without the necessity for teleological explanations [karma and karmic results] or divine intervention. It dealt with an amoral universe indifferent to the aspirations of humans.

As among humans, moral values, like economic values, were subjective since they were dependent on the needs and desires of humans, and an ethical humanism was the best that could be hoped for.

Even such an ethics need not be universal, for as anthropologists discovered, different societies seem to have followed different moral codes that suited them, and ethical relativism was the scientific truth about the nature of moral values. More

Longevity of the Buddhist-Bon Hunza people

HUNZA RIVER VALLEY, Pakistan - The mystery of the longevity of the formerly Buddhist and Bon Hunza (prior to Islamic invasion and forced conversion, leaving them as Shia Muslims). The Hunza are the people who do not age and live to be 120-140 years old.

(Unraveling the Scriptures) ✪ Members first on July 4, 2024. Ever imagine living to be 120 years old or reaching 140 while looking like a teenager? Or reaching 80 years old while looking 40 and remaining healthy? This video talks about the mystery of the Hunza people in Indo-Pakistan (formerly India before the Partition of 1947).

Tibet was a massive empire, with Lhasa as its capital, and Gilgit (Hunza) circle at left.

• 
  "Bon" refers to the indigenous shamanic traditions of these mountains, as practiced throughout the Tibetan Empire prior to Buddhism, at which time it melded with the esoteric teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism throughout the Himalayas.
• American longevity expert Dr. Joel Wallach (criticialhealthnews.com) insists the biblical phrase "land of milk and honey" does not refer to dairy and bee products but rather the frothy mineral rich waters coming down from glacial mountain streams and fruit nectar from trees growing on rugged terrain.

What are the secrets, to live in peace and not kill?

The Buddhist mountain people of Hunza take cold plunges, breathe fresh air, exercise daily, play sports until 100, eat mineral-rich food from the hills and valley, eat fresh low caloric foods, and live happily in close community. This is the Hunza River below the Himalayas and Karakoram ranges (close to the tallest mountain in the world, which is likely K2 rather than Everest), where beauty is the norm, much like the Buddha (Prince Siddhartha Gautama of neighboring Bamiyan, Afghanistan, called Kapilavastu in Gandhara in ancient times).

• Two main secrets of Hunza longevity (Prama) In sum, there are the two main secrets to the Hunza longevity lifestyle. The first is a stress-reducing, cheerful, optimistic, and celebratory lifestyle. The Hunza are known for their many family gatherings and festivals. The second is a nutrient dense diet free of sugar and processed foods, very low animal fat intake, and a nutritional regime high in nutrient rich plants—as well as probiotics from kefir and fermented foods.

Hunza's Buddhist past

Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour | 2024| BOOK NOW - Hunza Adventure Tours

.

Buddhism and, to a lesser extent Bön, was the primary religion in the area. The region holds several surviving Buddhist archeological sites, such as the Sacred Rock of Hunza.

Hunza Valley was central to the network of trading routes connecting Buddhist Central Asia to the subcontinent (India).

.

Ancient rock carvings look better. Hail Allah!

It also provided protection to Buddhist missionaries and wandering ascetic monks visiting the subcontinent, and the region played a significant role in the transmission of Buddhism throughout Asia [3] (along the Silk Road from the birthplace of the Buddha in Afghanistan and the birth of Buddhism in Bihar, proto-India).

Before conquest by Islam, the majority of the region practiced Buddhism. Since then, most of the population was converted to Islam.

The region has many works of graffiti in the ancient Brahmi script written on rocks (petroglyphs), produced by Buddhist monastics as a form of worship and culture [4].

With most locals being converted to Islam, those inscriptions had been mainly left ignored, destroyed, or forgotten, but they are now being restored [5].

Into the woods: withdraw to meditate (sutra)

Charles Patton (trans.), suttacentral.net, "Increasing One By One" (DA 11: 增); Dhr. Seven, Amber Larson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Hiking, exploring, seeking solitude in the woods, Chiang Mai, Thailand (bing.com)

.

I was reading the Buddha's advice. I thought I heard him say, "Go into the woods" or a similarly solitary place in search of peace.

If I keep silence, after some bumpy adjustment, my mind/hearts goes quiet and peaceful. There's a time in there when, like drug withdrawal from being addicted to thinking and worrying, there's a real hump.

But if I stick to it and keep at it, peace descends and joy arises. First comes joy then comes focus, samadhi, meditative absorption. It's uneasy at first, to be sure, but things do settle. It's not noticeable at first, but when it becomes noticeable, it's clear how much progress has been made. Why did the Buddha speak this way?

SUTRA: "Increasing One by One" (DN 11)

Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was staying in Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park, Jeta’s Grove, in Śrāvastī. He was accompanied by a large assembly of 1,250 monastics.

It was then that the Blessed One (Bhagavān) addressed them:

“I will give a discourse (sutra) on the sublime teaching in which all the words in the beginning, middle, and end are true, the content and expression are pure, and the spiritual life is perfected. It’s called the teaching that increases one by one. Everyone, listen closely and consider it well. I will teach it for you.”

The meditators then accepted [receiving] this teaching and listened.

The Ones

The Buddha told them, “This is the teaching that increases one by one: There’s one thing to be achieved, one thing to be cultivated, one thing to be recognized, one thing to be ceased, and one thing to be realized.

“What’s the one thing to be achieved? It’s the non-abandoning of the good Dharma (Teaching).

“What’s the one thing to be cultivated? Constant mindfulness of oneself.

“What’s the one thing to be recognized? Contaminated contact.

“What’s the one thing to be ceased? The conceit of self.

“What’s the one thing to be realized? It’s the freedom of an unobstructed mind.

The Twos

“There are also two things to be achieved, two things to be cultivated, two things to be recognized, two things to be ceased, and two things to be realized. More

The Root of Feelings w/ Ayya Khemavamsi

(Buddhist Insights @ Empty Cloud) What is the ROOT of "feeling" -- pleasant, painful, and neutral sensations -- be they emotional, psychological, or physical? Thai Theravada Buddhist nun Ayya Khemavamsi shares some Dhamma (Dharma, Buddhist Teaching) reflections from Thailand.

SUTRA: "Rooted in Contact"

Ven. Sujato (trans.) "Rooted in Contact" (SN 36.10), suttacentral.net; Dhr. Seven (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly

“Meditators, three feelings [sensations] are born, rooted, sourced, and conditioned by CONTACT [sense impression]. What three?

1. Pleasant feeling (sukhā vedanā)
2. painful (dukkhā vedanā), and
3. neutral feeling (adukkhamasukhā vedanā).

“Pleasant feeling arises dependent on a CONTACT to be experienced as pleasant. With the cessation of that contact to be experienced as pleasant, the corresponding pleasant feeling ceases and stops.

“Painful feeling arises dependent on a contact to be experienced as painful. With the cessation of that contact to be experienced as painful, the corresponding painful feeling ceases and stops.

“Neutral feeling arises dependent on a contact to be experienced as neutral. With the cessation of that contact to be experienced as neutral, the corresponding neutral feeling ceases and stops.

“When one rubs two sticks together, heat is generated and fire is produced. But when one parts the sticks and lays them aside, any corresponding heat ceases and stops.

“In the same way, these three [categories of] feelings are born, rooted, sourced, and conditioned by contact.

“The appropriate feeling arises dependent on the corresponding contact. When the corresponding contact ceases, the appropriate feeling ceases.” Source

American Theravada scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi goes live from Carmel, Upstate New York, in another one of his broadcasts on Models of the Path to Liberation in Early Buddhism (with simultaneous translation in Russian for viewers in the former USSR). Yes, there's Buddhism in Russia and there has been for a long time, by way of Mongolia and Tibet. In fact, Kalmykia is the only part of Europe that is indigenously Buddhist. But maps change, populations move, and culture persists, so that explains that.

• July 22: The sequential training–2 (MN 27)
• Models of the Path to Liberation in Early Buddhism 5-12/23 - BAUS

This year Bhikkhu Bodhi will resume his monthly Dhamma talks for speakers of Russian (and English) with a new series on the theme “Models of the Path to Liberation in Early Buddhism.”

In the sutras we see that the Buddha presented the Teachings on the Path or Dhamma in a variety of ways designed to meet the needs of his many audiences.

Some models are more comprehensive and general; others are narrower, intended for particular individuals. In this series, Ven. Bodhi explores four comprehensive models of the Path:

1. the noble eightfold path,
2. the sequential training of the monastics,
3. the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, and
4. the Seven Stages of Purification.

The talks will be based on the discourses of the Buddha. A file with the text material can be found here.
