So I think I was like hardcore Buddhist from 13 to I think it's 18 or 19.

So my question is, if I had met you when you were 15 and I had said, what is Buddhism?

Can you teach me?

What would you have said to me?

What do you believe?

Oh, I would be so into it. Do it.

Let's pretend.

I was like, oh, so it's been such a long time.

But I would have said, yeah, we are all called to be enlightened.

We have someone who's Buddha.

His name's Siddhartha.

A long time ago, he was a prince, and he lived a very lavish life.

But as he left his palace, and he had a family, he had a wife and everything, he saw different stages of life.

He saw someone being born.

He saw someone getting old.

He saw someone getting sick, and he saw someone die.

and then that's when he started questioning the meaning of life

and the cycle of life and he wanted to escape

that suffering so he believed he needed to go seek refuge alone in solitude

so he left everything he had money he had prestige he had a family

and he left it all to go figure that out

and he was sitting in a forest and this is

when he started meditating he started um closing himself off to

all of the worldly desires like hunger comfort it was kind of like mind over matter

right and eventually all these temptations as he was really weak came to him and he was able to

conquer it through deep meditation and deep prayer

and he understood he doesn't need any of these things

and that's something

that we can have too we can have inner peace through meditation through the teachings of buddha

and i think that's how i would approach someone i thought

that sounded pretty sane at the time great to me if i had said to you does god exist

what would you have said?

I would have said no. I don't know who you're talking about.

Oh really?

Yeah.

Interesting.

Um, if I had have said, I like to party, I like, you know, hooking up with my girlfriend.

Is that okay?

What would you have said?

I would have said no. Okay.

Yeah.

I'd be like, that's, that's not part of the teaching. So yeah.

So what, what is the sexual morality in your version of Buddhism?

It's the same where you, um, you would have to be committed to your husband and your wife.

You know, I didn't really learn anything about divorce.

I know affairs were looked down upon.

There's no such thing as cheating.

What about sex before marriage?

Yeah, that wasn't allowed either.

It's very traditional, I think, and conservative.

See, I think what a lot of Westerners get is like a California hippie interpretation of Buddhism

that they want to be true.

I don't know.

And so I just think the kind of Buddhism I was introduced to when I was 15, I was like looking for something spiritual, but didn't want anything demanded of me was

that kind of California Buddhism where all of the don't do that was kind of.

So it's cool to know that Buddhists aren't raging hedonists, but it's a joke, but it's also true.

So are there, did you meet different Buddhists who had different views of Buddhism?

No, I was surrounded by the same mindset, I think.

And it was mostly just Vietnamese people.

So we pretty much practiced similar things.

But it never went deeper than what I learned and what I practiced.

If anything, they were learning a lot from me every time I came across another Buddhist.

Did you read the works of Buddha, his writings?

No, I didn't.

It's just my mom, she taught me about Siddhartha, which is the most popular Buddha.

Is he the first Buddha?

That's what people believe.

See, there's no like understanding of the origin of it all.

And for Vietnamese Buddhists, we have a lady Buddha that we really look up to.

Her name is Phat Guanam, or I think for, I guess, English speakers, they say Guanyin.

She looks a lot like Our Lady.

I'm glad she doesn't look like the Buddha I imagine.

Yeah, no, she has a veil.

She just looks serene, except there's different depictions of her.

So we actually go to Siddhartha and Gwanyin a lot.

And what's the story of the lady?

Is there one?

So apparently, so yeah, everything I had learned, it wasn't through books.

My mom would tell me all these things.

And back then I didn't really use YouTube or anything.

And I'm a terrible reader.

I'll be honest.

Like I love reading comic books.

I just couldn't read books.

I had such a short attention span.

But I asked her and she said, yes, Buddhas are people and eventually they had reached that enlightenment

so she was a regular woman and she went through many lifetimes many merits,

many karma eventually she reached enlightenment and now what she does is she helps people in need, there are a lot of stories where she'll appear on the

ocean where someone is abandoned in the middle of the ocean and she'll help them or people who are hungry.

She's always depicted with kind of holding like a kind of like a little olive leaf or something.

And she has a vase in one hand with water pouring out and she's on top of a lotus.

Or sometimes she's depicted with several arms and it's supposed to symbolize that she can do everything and be everywhere at once.

Yeah.

Is she Vietnamese?

She looks pretty Vietnamese from what I grew up with.

Yeah.

All right.

Cool.

Okay.

100

When you were meditating and saying these mantras, what was the point?

101

You know, because I think if you would ask a Christian, like, why are you praying?

102

They might say any number of things.

103

They might say, I'm giving adoration to God, or I'm repenting of my sins, or I'm requesting that he grant me certain things.

104

What was the point of your meditation?

105

Yeah, so I was asking that when I was really young, and the Buddhist nuns at the time were telling me,

106

it's just these prayers that we say to Buddha, and they never really expanded more on that so i didn't understand

107

but they said it's more to be in a meditative state i was like hey what's the purpose of

108

that as well they didn't explain that further either to find peace

109

or something they couldn't even explain that it was just

110

because this was a cultural practice this is something

111

that had been happening i think since buddhism was introduced in vietnam

112

so they didn't even question it either and when i had asked questions

113

they were like don't worry about it you just have to do it

114

so I went along with it they never explained all right fair enough

115

but then what was the benefit of it

116

because I could imagine you saying to somebody why do we do this

117

and they go we just do but if you would say to someone

118

but you're you know you're choosing to do it

119

so I would imagine someone might say like I'm afraid of punishment

120

or I'm afraid of becoming a snail in the next life

121

but they almost also might say like this is how I

122

find peace like did you have any physiological response to how you were praying that put you in a calm state or?

123

Yeah, I think it was for that discipline to not be

124

so distracted from everything and to just focus on one thing

125

so it is supposed to grant peace

126

but actually the opposite had happened to me i had absolutely no peace from doing

127

that stuff yeah so why why were you doing it well

128

that that's all i knew right

129

so i was like okay i'm going to follow these rules

130

i'm going to do what they're all doing like eventually i'll

131

get it yeah eventually i was like maybe i'll understand it

132

because my mom

133

and the buddhist nuns like the more you do it the

134

more you will heal the more you will find peace

135

because they were trying to help me with my afflictions with like my mental issues

136

and my emotional state i'll say okay

137

so i'm gonna keep doing it they're like when you're scared pray

138

when you're having a nightmare pray just do it

139

so it became like second nature to me even in my dreams if i had a nightmare I would just start praying.

140

But the more I did it, the more anxious actually became.

141

And I remember throughout all this process, I don't know if I could just suddenly add this in, I was very afraid of the Virgin Mary.

142

My cousin, out of my entire family, they're the only Catholics.

143

And my mom has like 11 or 10 siblings.

144

She has a bunch and only one section is like Catholic.

145

And so when I would visit them, they had Our Lady statues of her everywhere.

146

and I was so scared to go anywhere near her

147

and I would have sleepovers I was like can you cover

148

her I don't I don't want to look at her yeah

149

they said why I just said she's just scary to me

150

I don't know who this lady is she's freaking me out

151

yeah what kind of statues of her were they were they like Fatima

152

or our Lady of Guadalupe I don't remember

153

but I think it was our Lady of Fatima yeah did you ask who is this no I just knew

154

that they called her the Virgin Mary And I don't remember even seeing Jesus in their home They have him, but he just never popped out to me Only she did

155

Yeah So I'm not going to ask you to reenact repeating a mantra That's not what I'm going to do

156

But I am interested So when you would wake up at night

157

and you would start praying Would you just repeat over and over the name of this Buddha?

158

Yes And would you use your breath to do that?

159

Or would you just say it, say it, say it, say it?

160

I would say it out loud, audibly Thank you very much for watching If you enjoyed that clip, you are going to love the full interview.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
