(Seriously, YouTube is STILL forbidding me from posting links because I answered a censored taboo question months ago on one of my Q&A videos. We really should do what we can to make YouTube obsolete, like by watching videos on Rumble instead.)

Brian and I discuss a sutta of the Anguttara Nikaya (A3:67), in which the Buddha gives instructions on how to disagree in a discussion, and who is qualified to participate in such discussions and who is not.

(As usual I am not allowed by YouTube to post links here, because I answered a question in a Q&A video in an inappropriate manner, i.e. honestly. I hope that within the next month or two I will be able to post links again. Anyway, for the link to Brian's Bitchute channel, and for my URL links, look under the description of any video with Brian and me that is on Rumble or Bitchute, or is more than about three months old here on YouTube. Or, to find Brian's Bitchute channel you can just search "Brian Ruhe" there.)

You'll have to search for his channel on your own, or you can find the link under this video on Rumble and Bitchute, or under older videos I have done with Brian.)

Well by golly, I was asked a question about preventative medicine and carelessly uttered a taboo word SEVERAL TIMES, a word which apparently is flagged by Google's AI automatically and would potentially cause problems. SO, I endeavored to edit the taboo word from this video. For the unexpurgated version, please refer to Rumble or Bitchute. Thank you for your patience. Also, YouTube is STILL not allowing me to post links, because I discussed the aforementioned taboo subject a few months ago; so for a list of my URL links please refer, likewise, to Rumble or Bitchute, which are much more tolerant of free thought and expression than this travesty of a platform.

Questions include: Is Burmese Buddhism as corrupt as Thai Buddhism; interpreting the purpose of Dhamma; Buddhist hypocrisy; my father’s past lives; overcoming laziness; feeling bad about drinking alcohol; the problematic nature of the word “enlightenment”; can enlightened beings have serious brain malfunctions (like strokes); eating too much; alien bases on the moon; conspicuous consumption; militant Buddhism; very old monks in Burma; what to do if one experiences cessation; sudden death of enlightened laypeople; Christian desert fathers; untranslated suttas; samsara as hell; enlightenment without ordination; the power of chanting; the validity of “general knowledge”; was the Buddha REALLY enlightened; walking meditation; drinking and bathing in pee; guns; preventative medicine (partially censored in the YouTube version); discord initiation; do all unenlightened beings fear death; overcoming ADHD; karmic “cheating”; sīla-samādhi-paññā; intellectual contemplation; what it feels like to be newly ordained; drinking tea; the most venerated human; theism and divine grace; restarting meditation practice; when meditation gets too deep; the ethics of Fight Club; media silence regarding Myanmar; belief in rebirth; and becoming a different person after disrobing.

(Well by golly I'm still not allowed to post links, because I'm being punished by YouTube for giving a forbidden answer to a Q&A question last month, regarding [CENSORED]. To see my URL links you must look to my videos on Rumble or Bitchute, or to videos on YT that I posted more than a month ago. Cheers.)

YouTube is still dealing out punishment, preventing me from posting any links, because I answered a question about [CENSORED] on a recent Q&A video.)

Our good friend Brian has been having a spectacularly rough go lately, so please send metta if you please. This was recorded some weeks ago when he was just at the verge of his misadventures. Anyway, this video is discussing the strange phenomenon of western Buddhists who vehemently, sometimes even angrily, insist that the Buddha taught the existence of a self and even an immortal soul.

(YouTube is still smiting me for expressing an honest opinion on the subject of [CENSORED] while answering a question on a previous Q&A, and so I am forbidden to post URL links for TWO MONTHS.) We absolutely must not say what is contrary to the corporate/globalist narrative, even when it is blatantly false. For my URL links, please refer to my upload on the free speech platforms Bitchute or Rumble, or refer to one of my older videos on YT, from before I was guilty of "disinformation" about [CENSORED].
