Some Quotes I liked:
Chapter III: Thought
35 It is good to tame the mind, which is difficult to hold in and flighty, rushing wherever it listeth; a tamed mind brings happiness.
36 Let the wise man guard his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, very artful, and they rush wherever they list: thoughts well guarded bring happiness.
Chapter IV: Flowers
50 Not the perversities of others, not their sins of commission or omission, but his own misdeeds and negligences should a sage take notice of.
Chapter V: The Fool
69 As long as the evil deed done does not bear fruit, the fool thinks it is like honey; but when it ripens, then the fool suffers grief.
Chapter VI: The Wise Man (Pandita)edit
80 Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like); fletchers bend the arrow; carpenters bend a log of wood; wise people fashion themselves.
81 As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, wise people falter not amidst blame and praise.
Chapter IX: Eviledit
122 Let no man think lightly of good, saying in his heart, It will not come nigh unto me. Even by the falling of water-drops a water-pot is filled; the wise man becomes full of good, even if he gather it little by little.
Chapter XI: Old Ageedit
156 Men who have not observed proper discipline, and have not gained treasure in their youth, lie, like broken bows, sighing after the past.
Chapter XII: Selfedit
158 Let each man direct himself first to what is proper, then let him teach others; thus a wise man will not suffer.
163 Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.
165 By oneself the evil is done, by oneself one suffers; by oneself evil is left undone, by oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity belong to oneself, no one can purify another.
Chapter XV: Happinessedit
197 Let us live happily then, not hating those who hate us! among men who hate us let us dwell free from hatred!
Chapter XVI: Pleasureedit
209 He who gives himself to vanity, and does not give himself to meditation, forgetting the real aim (of life) and grasping at pleasure, will in time envy him who has exerted himself in meditation.
Chapter XVIII: Impurityedit
252 The fault of others is easily perceived, but that of oneself is difficult to perceive; a man winnows his neighbour's faults like chaff, but his own fault he hides, as a cheat hides the bad die from the gambler.
253 If a man looks after the faults of others, and is always inclined to be offended, his own passions will grow, and he is far from the destruction of passions.
Chapter XX: The Wayedit
280 He who does not rouse himself when it is time to rise, who, though young and strong, is full of sloth, whose will and thought are weak, that lazy and idle man will never find the way to knowledge.

  • As a student, I lack the money to buy audio books and the time to read. I listen to your audiobooks while at the gym to expand my horizons. Without your videos I would never have read Socrates’ apology or Meditations. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll make sure to like and comment in the future so you can keep making these videos.

I mean, I could double down and point out the irony of somebody boasting of their bibliophilia whilst at the same time demonstrating dysgraphia. But for all I know you're a polyglot and this is your twentieth language; I also just don't want to cause any strife. Go team Buddha.

  • Thank you friend, Getting me my own Dhammapada and apply the suttas of Gautama. Tried stoics but man that can lead you to stagnation, a tedious process and very detrimental in many ways. No fundamentals on money and time management, no counsel and a battle between solitude and isolation, stoicism doesn’t work for me. The Bible’s teachings are leaps beyond the stoics, a rythem, modem and with many fruits of counsel, principles and fundamentals that work like gears, once they get running smoothly there is much to let it flow, Buddhism from what ive read so far really flows well with the Dharmachakra, 4 noble truths and 8 fold path is much more beneficial, with fundamentals of their is learning in teaching and vice versa, stick to going to mysticism to practical. Stoics and epicureans from practical to pragmatic. Buddhism from mysticism to practical. Biblical and Quranic from Practical to mystical. Hindu Mysticism to more mysticism. All good in their own ways, but for me, I’ll stick with Bible and Buddhism. Good pairing and very compatible.

    • Fun fact: Buddah meditated under the Ficus religiosa, ''buddah'' is a type of Nathanael. 'Jesus' saw Nathanael under the fig tree. And still Jesus is being put by some as: 'just a prophet'. Instead of worshipping an enlightened one, people should give credit to the one who enlightens.

  • Robin, thank you so much for doing this. Doing an audiobook is a huge task, and I don't think many people understand how long it takes to research, write, perform and edit videos like this. I am just beginning my journey into Buddhism and I appreciate the fact that people like you care enough about the philosophy to spend countless hours doing these kinds of projects. Again, thank you very much for doing this. I can tell you with 100% assuredness that you have helped at least one individual along the path.

  • Nice!!! As layman buddhist, I have read countless versions of the Dhammapada in 3 different languages throughout my life. I always enjoy reading different versions by different translators because they all have a different "flavor " to them even though it is the same teachings from 2,500 years ago. You did a terrific job with Go Rin No Sho, Tao Te Ching and The Art of War, so this is a real treat to me. Thank you!!!

    • To summarize, sri buddha is describing things easy so that even people in this dark age can attain to the eternal abode, His house, where He came from. Jesus expounded on His teachings stating that yes, hang out with those that know their souls and you'll have a joy greater than that of the senses. That is nirvana, literally meaning no trees, trees being a sanskrit term for desires. The only desire of every soul is to shine its light of goodness and it's far easier and more rewarding to do so away from this temporary earth, in sri buddha's home. Or I could say be good for goodness sake to become enlightened but I dont think that would catch on lol

    • @@VoxStoica I interpret Nirvana being in the state of mind that Epictetus also achieved where you are immortal as in, you can't be hurt by anything external. Buddha start exactly the same as Epictetus, that your thoughts ARE you and you can train your thoughts. I see this in a Neurological sense, where Neurons activated in a specific sequences often, it creates a path of least resistance for your neural paths. Like a dirt path getting hardened by walking on it often. Getting rid of the Ego (your opinions, such as the opinion that pain is bad) and entering tranquility untill death (and maybe after, dunno. Never died as far as I know) I interpret Heaven and Hell as the life you create for yourself through your habits (automatic choices) and conscious choices. I see rebirth as letting the parts of you that are bad for you die. Even though you rationalised for yourself why that part is good for you, you have to let it die and be reborn. You can reach Nirvana, when you have casted away all your bad habits and thoughts. You'd have to "design" yourself or program your brain and life. Because there will be nothing to improve, you wont die (or experiencing the wish to die) or be reborn anymore. Basically this is a "control yourself very precisely and meticulously" philosophy. Just like Epictetus (and the other Stoics) and Jesus. I also suspect these people having experienced DMT in their brain through starvation and meditation. And I also suspect psychedelic drugs like magic shrooms to have played a role for Christianity. DMT and certain psychedelic drugs causes what's called an "Ego death" (I had it on LSD). During the ego death, I barely knew anything about myself or reality. The only thing that was left was curiosity, excitement and a little bit of fear. You can feel 1 with the universe. It was very intense but did set me off on a very positive direction in my life. Which I guess let me here for now 😁 Hopefully I made some kind of sense. Obviously it's my interpretation, but hopefully it's food for thought Addendum: A bonus thought. If Man is created in the image of God by God. Then if, you shape yourself into the image of what your ideal of "Go(o)d" is, aren't you your own God?

  • Buddha's own words from Dhammapada in Classical English Happiness We the unhating live happily midst the haters, among the hating humans from hatred dwell we free. Without Sickness Among The Sick We who are healthy live happily midst the unhealthy, among unhealthy humans from ill-health dwell we free. Not Anxious Among The Anxious We the unfrenzied live happily midst the frenzied, among the frenzied humans from frenzy dwell we free. Happily They Live - Undefiled We for whom there’s nought live indeed so happily, joy-stained we’ll be like resplendent gods. Happy About Both Victory And Defeat Victory gives rise to hate, those defeated lie in pain, happily rest the Peaceful surrendering victory defeat. Happiness Tranquilizes There’s no fire like lust, no evil like aversion, no dukkha like the aggregates,no higher bliss than Peace. . Worst Disease And Greatest Happiness Hunger is the greatest ill, the greatest dukkha - conditionedness, knowing this reality at it is: Nibbana bliss supreme. Four Supreme Acquisitions Health’s the greatest gain, contentment, best of wealth, trusting’s best of kin, Nibbana bliss supreme. The Free Are The Purest Having drunk of solitude and tasted Peace Sublime, free from sorrow, evil-free, one drinks of Dhamma’s joy. Pleasant Meetings So fair’s the sight of Noble Ones, ever good their company, by relating not to fools ever happy one may be. Happy Company Who moves among fool’s company must truly grieve for long, for ill the company of fools as ever that of foes, but weal’s a wise one’s company as meeting of one’s folk. The Good And The Wise Thus go with the steadfast, wise, well-versed, firm of virtue, practice-pure, Ennobled ‘Such’, who’s sound, sincere, as moon in wake of the Milky Way. www.buddhanet.net/dhammapada/d_affect.htm Beloved Of The Masses Perfect in virtue and insight, firm in Dhamma, knower of Truth, dear to the people’s such a one who does what should be done. The Person With Higher Urges One with a wish for the Undeclared, with mind so well-pervaded, a mind not bound in pleasures of sense, an ‘upstream-goer’s’ called. The Fruits Of Good Action One who’s long away from home returns in safety from afar, then friends, well-wishers, kinsmen too are overjoyed at his return. Good Actions Lead To Good Results In the same way, with merit done when from this world to another gone those merits then receive one there www.buddhanet.net/dhammapada/d_anger.htm He Who Is Not Assaulted By Sorrow Anger and pride should one forsake, all fetters cast aside, dukkha’s none where no desire, no binding to body or mind. The Efficient Charioteer Who checks arising anger as with chariot away, that one I call a charioteer, others merely grip the reins. Four Forms Of Victories Anger conquer by amity, evil conquer with good, by giving conquer miserly, with truth the speaker of falsity. Three Factors Leading To Heaven Speak truth and be not angry, from little give to one who asks, by these conditions three to go unto the presence of the gods. Those Harmless One Reach The Deathless Those sages inoffensive in body e’er restrained go unto the Deathless State where gone they grieve no more. Yearning For Nibbana For the ever-vigilant who train by day and night upon Nibbana e’er intent pollutions fade away. There Is No One Who Is Not Blamed An ancient saying, Atula, not only said today - ‘They are blamed who silent sit, who often speak they too are blamed, and blamed are they of measured speech’ - there’s none in the world unblamed. No One Is Exclusively Blamed Or Praised There never was, there’ll never be nor now is ever found a person blamed perpetually or one who’s wholly praised. Person Who Is Always Praise-Worthy But those who are intelligent praise one of flawless conduct, sage, in wisdom and virtue well-composed, having observed him day by day. The Person Of Bodily Discipline Rough action one should guard against, be with body well-restrained, bad bodily conduct having shed train oneself in good. Virtuous Verbal Behaviour Rough speaking one should guard against, be in speaking well-restrained, bad verbal conduct having shed train oneself in good. Discipline Your Mind Rough thinking one should guard against, be in thinking well-restrained, bad mental conduct having shed train oneself in good. Safeguard The Three Doors Restrained in body are the wise, in speech as well they are restrained, likewise are they restrained in mind, they’re perfectly restrained.

  • I view Buddhism as a self regulated moral philosophy that identifies no God though it clearly identifies consequences. I try to work with this using Yeshe Rabgye's book "The Best Way To Catch A Snake" and his website talks. Your inclusion of the concepts of heaven, hell and God does not ring true to my prior readings. This is not intended as a rebuke but a question. Thank you for your fine offering.
