Buddhism.
4
The religion probably most associated with peace, tranquility and… Bald guys.
5
One of the oldest surviving religions, Buddhism started 2500 years ago in India and is now the world's fourth largest religion.
6
With over 520 million followers or 7 % of humanity.
7
almost all located within this circle.
8
And if you live outside of this circle you most likely don't know a lot about Buddhist belief.
9
So what is Buddhism?
10
Who is the Buddha?
11
And is life just an endless cycle of pain, misery, disappointment and death?
12
Well let's find out!
13
So who was the Buddha?
14
Well let's travel back 2500 years into the past.
15
Around 480 BCE the Buddha was born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama in modern day Nepal, right here.
16
Siddhartha's dad was a powerful ruler of a Hindu republic.
17
But due to a prophecy he was terrified that
18
Prince Siddhartha would become a religious leader instead of taking his place on the throne.
19
To avoid the prophecy he hid all human suffering from Siddhartha.
20
Siddhartha lived in fancy palaces, had the finest clothes and jewellery, ate and drank what he pleased and married a beautiful bride.
21
His dad fired all the sick, ugly and aging servants and no one could speak to Siddhartha about any of life's miseries like death.
22
This could obviously never backfire.
23
Siddhartha felt a deep sense of dissatisfaction with this luxurious life of his.
24
At 29 years old, after finally being allowed to go on a trip outside the palace, Siddhartha saw an old man,
25
a sick man and finally a corpse.
26
He spiraled into an existential crisis.
27
He thought, why do anything in life when old age, sickness, and death would get everyone eventually?
28
Anyway, on another visit outside Siddhartha came across a homeless monk that had given up all possessions.
29
This guy seemed pretty wise and happy.
30
So Siddhartha decided that he would abandon his princely life
31
and become a wandering monk in search of an answer to life's suffering.
32
Siddhartha spent the next 6 years learning from India's greatest yoga and meditation masters.
33
Then he joined a group of hermits in the forest that practiced extreme fasting and intense meditation.
34
After 6 long years of eating nothing but seeds that had blown into his lap, Siddhartha was little more than a living skeleton.
35
He realized he wasn't any closer to an answer to suffering.
36
In fact the starvation had clouded his thinking.
37
He was even further away from an answer than when he had started six years ago.
38
Something clicked.
39
The path to enlightenment lay between the extremes of a prince's life of luxury
40
and a hermit's life of starvation and so he started to eat again.
41
Re -energized Siddhartha sat beneath the tree and vowed to meditate until he found an answer to life's suffering.
42
In a deep state of meditation Siddhartha sat there for days.
43
He realized that by ending desire he could end suffering.
44
We only suffer because we want things to be a certain way.
45
His fear of aging, sickness and death slipped away.
46
He realised all things were always changing and the only thing he could do was accept and love those changes.
47
Freed from desire, his mind and senses purified, he was filled with a sense of joy and compassion for everything on earth.
48
Under that tree, now called the Bodhi tree, Siddhartha achieved enlightenment or Nirvana.
49
He was now an awakened one, a Buddha.
50
So how exactly did the Buddha become enlightened?
51
Well, luckily, he laid out a handy dandy guide for everyone to follow.
52
First, there's the Four Noble Truths.
53
The Four Noble Truths are the basis of Buddhism.
54
The First Noble Truth is...
55
Life is suffering.
56
Oh, wait, wait.
57
I know this sounds dark, but it's actually not.
58
The actual first truth is that life is Dukkha, which is an ancient Sanskrit word that normally translates to suffering in English.
59
But it's more like dissatisfaction.
60
Life will always be dissatisfying because humans cling to temporary things.
61
Knowing about old age, sickness and death, that's Dukkha.
62
Things changing when you don't want them to change, that's Dukkha.
63
Not getting what you want, that's also Dukkha.
64
And things never measuring up to your expectations, that's also Dukkha.
65
Dukkha suggests that even when life is not physically painful, it can be disappointing and unfulfilling.
66
The second noble truth is that dukkha is caused by desire.
67
Humans desire and cling to possessions, people, power and life itself.
68
So they end up constantly disappointed because all of those things end.
69
People want things they don't currently have and want things they currently have to never change.
70
But everything is always changing.
71
Everything we think we already own is really borrowed.
72
We want to live forever and we want our loved ones to stay the same forever.
73
But you can't catch a running stream.
74
You can't have a permanent relationship with an impermanent world.
75
It always ends in disappointment.
76
Eventually you discover that the bottomless breadsticks are in fact bottomed.
77
The zaya fuels suffering in the same way that wood fuels a fire.
78
Fire consumes everything that you feed it and will always demand more fuel.
79
The only way to kill a fire is to stop feeding it breadsticks.
80
The Buddha taught that the secret to a happy life is to enjoy what you have without attachment
81
and to not want what you don't have.
82
The third noble truth is that there is an end to suffering.
83
Since we cause our own suffering we can also cure it.
84
You can't change the things that happen to you but you can change your responses.
85
And the fourth noble truth is that the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path leads to the end of suffering.
86
The Noble Eightfold Path or the Middle Way is an 8 step guide to deprogramming the desire addicted brain.
87
It might be called a path
88
but you should think of it more as a wheel with 8 spokes that you spin all together.
89
The 8 parts are right view.
90
Right view is accepting the four noble truths that suffering exists
91
and that by following the Buddha's teachings there is a way out of it.
92
Right thought.
93
The Buddha said that your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts.
94
Don't let negative thoughts like greed, fear and anxiety cloud your mind.
95
Fill your mind with positive ones like love, kindness and compassion.
96
Right Speech Focus on positive words and stay away from negative ones like gossip, hurtful words and lies.
97
These only cause yourself and others to suffer.
98
Right Action The Buddha taught the philosophy of ahimsa or non -violence.
99
Instead of hurting others with your actions you should try and have an endless love for all life.
100
Good actions include conquering anger with love, evil with good, meanness with generosity,
101
lies with truth, smickity smashing that likeity like button and clickity clacking the scrippity subscrew button.
102
Bad actions include killing, stealing, drugs and engaging in non -consensual sex.
103
Right Livelihood Avoid jobs that involve death, weapons, slavery, the harm of animals, drugs and any kind of exploitation.
104
But livelihood isn't just occupation.
105
Be an honest and kind parent, friend and partner.
106
The next three are related to meditation.
107
You have right effort.
108
Right effort builds on right thought.
109
It means putting effort into welcoming and creating good thoughts and pushing out bad thoughts.
110
Violence, hatred, greed and anxiety all begin as negative thoughts.
111
Using right effort in your little mine garden you water your positive thought flowers
112
so they grow and in a garden full of kind and compassionate thoughts, greed weeds will find no space to grow.
113
Write Mindfulness.
114
Mindfulness is paying pure attention in every moment.
115
Remaining in the present without judging or labelling your experiences and without letting distracting thoughts bring you out of the present.
116
If you're eating ice cream, eat ice cream.
117
Don't let that memory of that one time you peed your pants at school
118
and then slipped on your own pee and then everyone laughed
119
and called you pee pee pants because they were very uncreative distract you from your delicious ice cream moment.
120
Mindfulness helps you understand your mind and body
121
so you can see what causes positive and negative reactions from you in each moment.
122
Right Concentration While mindfulness is like a giant net catching everything, right concentration is like a laser.
123
Right concentration is what people would recognise as meditation.
124
Using right concentration you focus your mind on a single thing while meditating.
125
Whether that be your breath or thoughts.
126
The point is to focus on that one thing without distraction so you gain insight into reality.
127
Concentration gives you insight into your thoughts and why they happen.
128
So you can just nip them in the bud before you start desiring.
129
Each of these 8 parts has endlessly complex additions and extra steps that we don't have time to cover.
130
The main takeaway is that the Buddha thought that the Eightfold Path would free people from suffering.
131
Following this path does not mean you give up on life, abandoning friends and family and to stop feeling all emotions.
132
The truths and the path are about realising that you won't find happiness by clinging to the world.
133
Happiness comes from clearing your mind of desire and replacing it with joy and compassion for all things.
134
Instead of trying to control what happens you accept what happens and just enjoy every moment as it is.
135
Along with the Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path there are other important
136
Buddhist core beliefs like Karma.
137
Karma is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning action but actions that have consequences.
138
When you commit good or bad actions it causes a chain reaction
139
that will later come back to you in this life or the next.
140
Buddhists see karma more like a natural law, like gravity, rather than some sort of system of rewards and punishments.
141
It's a system of cause and effect.
142
Think of karma like seeds.
143
As you sow, so shall you reap.
144
If you plant a mango seed you'll eventually get a mango tree.
145
If you plant a murder seed, murder tree.
146
Or the worst one of all, if you plant coriander you go straight to hell.
147
According to Buddhism, if you want to know about your past life look at your present body.
148
If you want to know your future life look at your present mind.
149
Even though karma affects your current life conditions it's not destiny.
150
Buddhism teaches that at every moment each person can change and make their lives better.
151
And when it comes to karma intention matters.
152
If you squash a little ant by accident then you don't generate any karma karma.
153
If you stamp on it with pure hatred and anger as
154
if it was coriander then that will generate a lot of negative karma.
155
Karma also influences how you will be reborn after death.
156
Rebirth Buddhists believe we live in a beginningless and endless cycle of birth, suffering and death called samsara.
157
When the Buddha reached nirvana he escaped from that cycle of rebirth.
158
Desire and karma push the cycle on and on.
159
When a life ends in one body, karma drags bags the life into a new body with no memory of the previous life.
160
Karma, even if it's good or bad karma, keeps people stuck in the cycle.
161
The only way to break out of the cycle is to stop desiring, stop suffering, stop the creation of karma and reach nirvana.
162
Nirvana or enlightenment isn't a place you go, it's not heaven, it's a state of mind.
163
The Buddha reached nirvana and then lived for another 45 years.
164
And although some
165
Buddhist traditions do have heavens and hells, they're all inside of the cycle.
166
Nirvana is an escape from the entire Samsara cycle.
167
Nirvana literally means blowing out.
168
You blow out the fire of desire.
169
When you stop thinking of yourself as me and I and instead fill yourself with compassion for all things.
170
Once you do this you stop generating karma and so you stop being reborn.
171
Anyone that wants to achieve Nirvana can with the right effort.
172
And that's why the Buddha spent the remaining 45 years of
173
his life after enlightenment wandering about the Indian subcontinent teaching people how to escape suffering before
174
he died at the age of 80.
175
After Siddhartha's death his community of monks known as the Sangha spread his teachings or Dharma out of India and throughout Asia.
176
Buddhism did eventually decline in India but took hold across
177
East and Southeast Asia.
178
The Buddhist teachings of the Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path aren't strict rules
179
and not following them won't result in punishment from a god.
180
There is no capital G god in Buddhism.
181
There are gods but they're stuck in the same cycle as the rest of us
182
and you can actually be reborn as one if you have good enough karma.
183
The Buddhist teachings are simply a guide to escape suffering, to leave the cycle and to achieve nirvana like he did it.
184
The important part is using the teachings that work for you in your unique life circumstances.
185
As the Dalai Lama once said, if you find that the teachings suit you, apply them to your life as much as you can.
186
If they don't suit you, just leave them be.
187
That's why there are dozens of different kinds of Buddhism.
188
But they can be divided into two major branches – Theravada and Mahayana.
189
Theravada means school of the elders and is the oldest surviving branch of Buddhism.
190
For Theravadans reading is fundamental.
191
They use a series of texts called Suttas which are based on oral teachings of what the Buddha taught.
192
They date back almost to the time of the Buddha himself
193
and are written in the ancient Pali language so these texts are called the Pali Canon.
194
In general Theravada has less religious rituals than the other forms of Buddhism
195
and they believe the Buddha to be a much more human figure.
196
They see Siddhartha as the only
197
Buddha of the current era and that he left behind his Dharma and Sangha to help other people achieve enlightenment themselves.
198
Theravada Buddhist countries include
199
Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.
200
Mahayana meaning Great Vehicle is younger than Theravada and is mostly found in East Asia.
201
Unlike Theravada which sticks with the Pali Canon, Mahayana has loads more texts and teachings.
202
At the centre of Mahayana belief is the Bodhisattva.
203
Bodhisattvas are enlightened beings
204
that instead of leaving the cycle of rebirth have decided to stay in order to help non -enlightened beings achieve enlightenment.
205
Mahayana Buddhism believes that you can ask Bodhisattvas, other Buddhas and other holy beings for help in this world.
206
In Mahayana you will see people praying to different Buddhas in the same way people would pray to saints
207
or gods in other religions.
208
Mahayana is primarily practiced in Nepal, Mongolia, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.
209
Mahayana also contains dozens of smaller traditions such as Zen Buddhism and Pure Land Buddhism.
210
Another tradition under Mahayana is Vajrayana or Diamond Vehicle Buddhism.
211
This is what many people call Tibetan Buddhism.
212
Vajrayana uses mantras or repetitive chants, drawing of mandalas, the use of secret rituals,
213
incantations, and deep meditation while visualizing different supernatural beings to try and achieve nirvana faster than in other forms of Buddhism.
214
This school has a huge emphasis on using gurus or teachers known as lamas to assist you on your journey.
215
The famous Dalai Lama is the leader of Tibetan Buddhism.
216
If you'd like an even better explanation of the Buddha
217
and his teachings I can highly recommend the Buddha episode of the series
218
Genius of the Ancient World over on CuriosityStream.
219
CuriosityStream has thousands of other documentaries like this which is why I'm
220
so excited that they are partnering with my streaming service Nebula.
221
Cogito
222

224
that come with working on YouTube like demonetization or problems with the algorithm.
225
Nebula is a place where you can watch some of the best educational content ad -free and earlier than YouTube.
226
This video was up on Nebula days ago and creators there can experiment with all kinds of new and exclusive stuff.
227
For example all of my unlisted videos such as live streams,
228
video commentaries and my Byzantine Empire series which is no longer on YouTube are all up over on Nebula.
229
But other than that Nebula opens up a whole new world of possibilities for creators to create
230
and collaborate in ways we couldn't before.
231
By supporting Nebula you'll be providing a budget for creators to put together high quality Nebula Originals
232
that would never make it on YouTube.
233
For example, Wendover Productions just uploaded an hour long documentary to Nebula that you won't see anywhere else.
234
Or would you like to watch a game show hosted by Tom Scott where he makes YouTubers battle each other for cash?
235
Because there's a Nebula original for that.
236
Or do you want to see a Zoomer learn about 90s and early 2000s culture and laugh along the way?
237
Well there's a Nebula original for that.
238
Or a World War 2 docuseries.
239
There's a Nebula original for that.
240
Or maybe even something about how the Venezuelan economic crisis and the multiplayer game RuneScape are connected.
241
Well you guessed it, there's a Nebula original for that too.
242
There are many, many more and they're all funded and created for people like you.
243
People that enjoy independent, original and smart content.
244
And now Nebula even has original podcasts.
245
So where does CuriosityStream fit into all this?
246
Well as the internet's best place to find high quality documentaries they love education
247
and educational creators and so we've teamed up to create a deal.
248
If you follow the link in the description and sign up to CuriosityStream you'll get access to Nebula for free.
249
And this isn't a trial or anything like that.
250
As long as you're a CuriosityStream member you'll get access to Nebula.
251

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
