Here's the thing: saving money with Geico was almost better than playing pick up basketball, because there's always that guy who joined your game he never passes the rock he constantly bricks theories and who completely you and then put his hands up and say no foul, no foul with Geico. It's easy to switch save on car insurance. No, the vacant fake, an ankle sprain because you're absolutely exhausted. So which in save with Geiger it's almost better than sports, welcome

to study, should now for enhanced up works. Tat looked into the Pakistan Josh clerk is child. Of each of the jury is over. There said we should now here we are at your mode, but I dig including their vulnerable. When I think you re, oh, did not catch that. I notice very nice airy civil rights They went in there here, yeah how'd, you do and are you feeling Senate now, I'm all whack adieu, doctors are all over the place and the shock reserve all over the place. It so much so that I couldn't give anything

that was revealed all you know, man, I have to say, while we're researching sounds like this, some beautiful stuff, it's very appealing, yeah actually was its need. Stuff. Now, like I was, I became calm enriched during this switching Nirvana yeah. It's getting tat, I think, gum this. You can try this and we have a couple of related episodes and we might as well. This call this. The enlightenment sweet, a sure, I'd like that, Karma from July twenty eleven beer and reincarnation from July twenty ten M burning man, the angry people you're

yeah and you know, or body in New York. Rachel Grundy is a Buddhist. Oh yeah, yeah she's talking about it some cells. I cannot guarantee that of meditated summit, really appeals to me and like a true Buddha she's like scrape man here I'll, send you some stuff, no fresh, healthy, some pamphlet space. No, she did she wasn't like you know you should look at ass. You know it's a little less overbearing than other religions. I found him I get in on me now. Rachel Grundy does the literal pub crawl right, but she still dear- I don't know she still does she used to, but which can plug your band. Coyote love about it. Ago introduced it up. The dogs are congratulations. Congratulations to everybody! That's the Buddhist! Why that is so Nirvana I thought was the perfect way to cap off karma in reincarnation yeah, as the third part Amadou should do. Meditation may wish to make it up.

Rudder yet occupy, be interesting of shoes latest studies about the physiological effects over. No, that was the ok I didn't agreed upon them and then the there would you called the what sweep the enlightenment we enlightenment sweet not to be confused with the transcendentalists or the Enlightenment episode right, which it doesnt factor into this off. Now, ok, so chuck you're talking Nirvana, there see have like a conception of it. I have a conception of it, but in researching and one of the things and also knew that Buddhists and Hindus, sure a lot of cosmology other you say they hate each other, but now I dont get then impression. No, of course, not but they they are. Buddhism is a an offshoot of Hinduism, yet sister,

it's the aftermath showed his religions. It's the journey, loves Chacha, relate to what else Maude. What was that an offshoot of marital more maritime, all right the Jefferson year, four March Archie Bunker, Ah then I am absolutely. I could do this for at least thirty shape minutes, yet we should do in episode on those spin offs where we just say, spin off names and is called thumbs up or down and but we don't say people. This gets right. What do we do now? Yeah? It's the truth: company spin off of hooligans, yours, it's good! Ok, we done

our them again. When I did not realise that, I guess that's what I'm saying. I knew that they were related. I didn't realize that it was like a direct offshoot were basically Africa, namely that the Buddha, whose name his original name with said Arthur Glaucoma, did you know that actually said Arthur a case of age is silent, Alzheimer nice? Yes, I actually looked at pronunciations or listen to them for this episode, for what I'm proud of you I am also a little ashamed because you did there and I didn't there was offer Grundy. I was gonna have with the year with the original status quo. Ok, citizen, mingling words or an origin wound and turn a mixing up here. Fifteen years in an scientific words, do not suffice right so you're talking about said, Arthur got on my right. He was born. Into as a Hindu, a Hindu family, GER undecided like them not to

upon him, do. I think, there's other ways to go and there's Buddhism like versions: yadda, yadda, yadda, there's Buddhism yeah. This is fifth century We see in the age of course, and I He said he would later become the Buddha which is not to be confused with Buddha, a Buddha exactly which you wanna be a Buddha. Go, do it took, you can do it, you couldn't be the Buddha right cause. That's said our tears right now, but you could be a Buddha. I could be Layman's version. I believe right Ok because, like only monks generally achieve the state of Buddha, so in researching this, if you want to you, could you like sign our life, I'm going to become a buddhist monk, an conceivably achieve Nirvana. Yet seen this later, you could sure, because

a human being here, incarnates it as a human being into this mortal coil, and if you wanted to, you could coat go do but in researching this yes, apparently, is typically left to the buddhist monks. Is there the ones who are like the time sign our life? Yet it does you gotta dropout disorder in a lot of ways. Now entirely I mean buddhist monks like still filter amongst the masses and all that sure bite For the most part, there focusing a lot more on achieving Nirvana than the average stated. A person does even like David, a Buddhist or something. Yet it's not it's. On a part time. Job you're not like sitting around a netflix like, should I watch oranges and a black, or should I meditate for eight hours, european candy You can buy the way it's called zoning out. So was talk a little bit more about said. Arches journey, this five

sixty three b c and modern day Nepal or what would be modern day Nepal, because the way back missing I wanna go: let's go like a lovely time period, are it's cold lovely. You know it's funny. And take it is cold. I thought we were going back like maybe spring, but yet really called here right now. It's good thing you wearing outside here you know and with sharper xo CS it art over there and he is a rich dude in his very shelter dude, and despite all this riches and this lifestyle he's very pampered he's gonna, I can see it in his eyes. He is dissatisfied. He is dissatisfied, was born into a ruling class. Very powerful is a rich family here. As part of the idle rich, but his part.

Thinking night, all rich, so he started the question his place in life, which is basically what you said right yeah. He starts damn all this over, like maybe there's more. It's a very story- and we could spend hours talking about this, but answer people do I've seen that is my kinda part time. Like I said, but I'm looking at him and basically I can tell that his disillusionment has his reaches apex and it is culminated by looking at the window one day, and he sees three things from his little palace window. He sees a decrepit old man, he sees a disease man and then he sees a corpse and he's those like the progression. I guess so and he's like you know it. I'm done with this life can't take it anymore. Even though I have my arranged wife, my cousin, whom I married, I was forced to marry a beautiful son whom I love

we want to leave them, I believe, all my possessions and I'm going to go on a quest, vision, quest if you will you understand the true nature of life, and here I go right back. We are to the present day, sir. You can hang your oxide and that sharper on the correct way or there's more to the story area to go back here. We gotta go back. I gotta take on shore pants for years for your pants back. So check where you were back again, and down said Arthur is he's gone from very rich, powerful family is deciding on its vision, Quest he thinks. Well, I mean if I was very dissatisfied

I think it's kind of wrong to be is grossly riches. I I was, the family has borne into I'll. Just go the exact opposite. Rout cannot become a hermit. A completely poverty. Stricken hermit, who has not even a part to pee in here, believe that night. Any figures out that as he's starving to death, that is not leading that any kind of enlightenment he's actually growing increasingly uncomfortable. Getting harder and harder for them to pay attention to enlightenment, cast, say he's hungarian hungrier church and he realizes wait a minute. Maybe this the right way to go. Maybe polar extremes are a little too extreme. Yet what if I die. Achieving my goal that would just have been wasted. Life yeah would have been poverty stricken in great, but that doesn't really do enlightenment clearly, so here comes a stranger. Whose offering me a meal, I'm gonna, take it. I'm gonna, be part

stricken no longer, and maybe I don't need to be rich, but also need to be poverty stricken to take this middle road to enlightenment. So I'm gonna kill that stranger other food. Well, with a pigeon hammer away. That's not the middle road! That's far from the middle road, that's kind of extreme as well. I kid so he takes a meal from a stranger e figures out. I think, finally, that like ok, this is the way to do it. Doesnt sit under a tree and achieve Nirvana. He achieved Yet there were three stages of that. He saw his past lives all of them. He saw the past lives of all others and he's like I'm, no external catch on two things here the revealing themselves, and finally, he identified the four noble truce, which will talk about in a bit, but those are the three stages under the tree.

And in the end of it he said you know one again, a perfect understanding of the laws governing the cycle of birth and death like it it's it's Nirvana boom its Nirvana. And Nirvana. We should probably say once he achieve. Nirvana say it's revolver. No, he couldn't say my actually one of the things that I came across a resource same time again, is there he very famously couldn't put it into words description of what he experience in this You state of enlightenment that he was binding in is likely to. Kind of it was the name of a further if everybody trusted him play. They said this guy knows where it that we're gonna start following his teachings, yeah, Sanskrit Nirvana, means to extinguish, though in this case, are talking about extinguishing suffering and hatred in their ignorance, no good,

we'll talk about the Buddhas path through enlightenment and teachings that came out of this achievement. Vodka right after this here's the thing Saving money with Geico was almost better than playing pick up basketball because there's always that guy who joined your game. He never passes the rock he constantly bricks theories and who completely you and then put his hands up and say no foul, no foul with Geico, it's easy to switch save on car insurance. No, the vacant fake, an ankle sprain because you're absolutely exhausted, so which in save with Geiger it's almost better than sports,

You were back its people. But an ad in the middle of a food is unworthy. We take all comers you're, my friend so if you achieve Nirvana what you're doing is you are a breaking that cycle If you look at our reincarnation by cats, the SAM sorrows at cycle of reincarnation that you can be caught in are stuck in. I guess- and this is where corner and again we have the great up certain karma, Karma, comes into play, because what you're doing is your rewarded on your past actions in your current life and earlier lives right, some accent, no

makes sense Yasser. So in all of this article says it's important to note that the love karma isn't do the gods judgment yeah over persons, behaviour and its closer to newtons love motion that makes more sense right for every action? There is an equal and opposite reaction. Yet so like you, you know, step on a snail you dislike man didn't mean to do that this can come back and bite me later on in another life, and you build this karma. Whatever but when you reach Nirvana, you stop accruing bag karma. Try it yeah and when you transcend it, then all of a sudden you can spend of your life working off. That karmic debt that you have already accrued here, cause that doesn't go away like being democratic, aren't exactly so by its like when you achieve Nirvana the credit cards cut off, so you're not adding two year, your account any longer, but you still have some money that you, oh and

paying that off in this life or conceivably other lives following, but at some point you, your golden ticket has been granted. You have achieved gonna try and when that happens you are. You have escaped that some sorrow and you have achieved potty Nirvana, and that is the final stage that you find in the afterlife. And in the case of slaughter, he was eight years old when he passed and he died in a state of meditation. Basically saying too his people around him, it's all good man. This is like this is. The goal is like a great waited to pass. Yeah like we should all pass that we share and tell him. Everybody is out. Pretty much like waters and style. It suited his gun, Alice her last words. If I'm not mistaken the home,

So win win. You achieves Nirvana an escape. The cycle of some sort- you eventually when you die and you work off your karmic debt and you're? No longer reincarnated, you become you best travel to another in another room, it's something different that basically exists outside of space time as modern Buddhist would say, and you are you kind of one with the universe you become ass, a selfless part of the universe that's beautiful to me, sir. It's nice so potter, Nirvana Day or just Nirvana days, celebrated on February fatigue in EAST Asia,

celebrations. Very evidently, I looked it up fairly. Some people to meditate some people were just reflective while the times and monasteries food is prepared and chaired that that is very fifteenth. Ok a day so check. If you become a buddhist monk in you, chief Nirvana and lets say you're, not a buddhist monk, ok, and you were now- I you are so your boots Hannah Keeper This clause on youth Nirvana. You become a Buddha right now again, not Buddha, but a boot like you, It means an enlightened one night. Yes, and if you say I've got some time, money and I'm gonna hire you the Buddha to lead me Two Nirvana Germany

junior Buddha there's a different word form. They called our hearts are hit it's what I found out, ok that's right. That's when you have a boot, a guide to guide you and you are not your light. Injured- is not unless it yeah that'll take different, so not understand and our mission to pretty big difference between those who think they know right. So when the Buddha came back, from his son in law, while what what once he achieved is enlightened stated started trying to tell people like you can be like this too, and here's how you do it? He said that there is very they're just for a noble truths, thought They didn't know until you realise that the fourth noble truth mentions in april- path, then suddenly, like its exponentially more involved, but it still fairly simple, so yea taught us

the last forty five years of his life number one is that life is suffering, and I think that was he was Klute into that from his window. That day is the suffering that really made him go like man. This is life, that old guy, that dead body. If this is life, who needs enemies. The point number two suffering is caused by ignorance of the true nature of the universe. So ignorance is not bliss. Ignites is no good. No Basically, the true nature of the universe is there. We are made unhappy by wanting by craving things and that we can free ourselves from those things by overcoming them. That's right now this number three can in that suffering and then number four is: if you tat yourselves and followed the first,

I'm sorry the Noble Eightfold bath not before right, then you're. Also, you can overcome all at Jack. It's like to some of these four things and then these extreme things. So the eightfold path and noble. Eight though full path are the deals that guide you along the way and their broken down into three divisions. There's some! The divisions are some no. The of the individual paths are called summers I'll get you well. The first two are under the division of wisdom, right views and right intention. It's free of farmers are frequently translated into right here in the West in English teacher, and it doesn't the this article. I read both one guy said like that. Doesn't the opposite of there is wrong right. It's more right. It's more like right in this sense means complete perfect.

Oh yeah, yeah, so the opposite of that would be incomplete, yet perfect, not hole since rather than wrong right yeah, I get it the second division is ethical conduct and under their you have complete or right speech right and action and right livelihood right. So working for Goldman Sachs Clubbing, baby seals, you can have trouble, but even Yvonne at this in those positions, I would say so. Probably not you probably not seeking Nirvana either. So you five, what about Part Gasters cats totally in there were somewhere between clubbing baby seals in Goldman Sachs Then finally, concentration is, alas, division, and that is right. Effort right, mindedness and right contemplation yeah the right mindedness is being made. For being aware right. Effort is like you're, directing your effort towards these good things. European slack in Europe

to enlighten me there and then the last one right contemplation is carried difficult to understand. It really is difficult to explain I found in researching, but it's basically focusing your entire self on this on the eight full path and affordable truth. Here last year you really directing all of your thought and energy into that yeah. That's what I got from Grundy when I talk to her last somewhere up there, the bell how she was is his very soothing, she's, a sick man is this. Is this practice you like it's a cycle use continually trying to do the right thing cuts and that's like the simple as breakdown, but you know, if something that happens in you, don't you start over any try harder got, which is like sounds like really great life principles. Yeah so Buddhist thought as far as achieving Nirvana goes in

Do ism is actually very closely related, but there are some major distinctions and we'll talk all about that for this. We are living in complicated times, I'm seventy rule, MSNBC Anchor and NBC News correspondent. In my new plug cast modern rules, I'm gonna be spending time unpacking some of the Harry's of today's tat. I decided I was with you, survived survival points, but equal board. They won't needs its american listening, subscribed to my new pod, modern rules on apple pie, test the iron radio,

Wherever you get attacking Muky Cherkis we're back, the trade is the key Buddhists, typically tough, Nirvana, as Nirvana Hinduism is usually referred to his mosher, but their basically talking about the same thing. It is the highest plain of existence. Wherein you stopping in car. You have worked off your karmic debt and you to reunite with the cosmos, with the universe and in Hindu, cosmology they're talking about Krishna, which is the godhead, which is the source of all things and Krishna, is very frequently Christa incarnates.

In three major deities in all deities and all he knew all he knew. Deities are extensions of Krishna, but the big three are Brahma who's. The creator view new. His is the sustainable and Shiva who's. The destroyer and when you die when you achieve Mosher you going get absorbed into Krishna again yet and the bigger difference it. I think we found with between Buddha, Nirvana and Hindu, Nirvana or Brutus Nirvana, is that with and do your working your way up through this, the caste system event. For you start out by. You have to be borne through every type of organism that exists on the planet. You actually make it through under hindu cosmology, eight million four hundred thousand different species of animals before you even get to humanity

and then, when you become a human, you can go through countless lives, indifferent casts over and over again, but those castor hierarchical and yes, I, like you, said our working: oh yeah, yeah, it's called the and you get that good karma. You performed by performing duties in that cast and then basically, once you have is also a graduation and the next life. If you well to the next cast up. Yonder is actually delighted, debate right now, because the Gandhi was famously his cast by Shire, I believe, that's the merchant class and he was thrown out of it because he will champion for the rights of the lower class, the sutra, who basically were responsible for handling, picking up dead animals and taking care of the rest of the community's waste and basically were just generally

treated by the higher casts, and so there's this question now in modern Hinduism, like does the caste system still fit, is still appropriate right. But the thing is is if it's not a reflection of, say, gods punishment, but thing is physical is like the second while thermodynamics, emotion, sorry that The reaction do some other action you took in the past life, who are humans to say that the caste system is no longer appropriate. It's just part of the universe, but then, if it turns out the human cost- well, then it gets kind of ticklish right undermines the hindu cosmology. So it's a weird place. Modern Hinduism, is in right now talking about whether or not to do away with the caste system interesting. What do you think? I think that at the Hindu,

answer thinks so I would imagine Gandhi than in his next. Life was deafening. That next cast up her, I will ass. If he didn't just achieve Mosher right then- and there is a pretty good guy- your daddy, you can skip the few levels exactly great, yeah, that's the thing like, but the highest classes, the Brahman Class in Hindu ISM and there, the priestly class there like the hindu, or the buddhist monks who go off and try to achieve Nirvana station in life is to achieve Mosher. They ve worked off their there. The karmic that to tremendous agreeing like their focus in life is to get rid of the rest of their karmic life. So they are, born again right, the the one below that is Keshaf tria.

That's the ruling warrior class, that's the one that said Arthur was born into apparently Gach when he was like this is wrong. We like anybody, should be able to achieve in lineman yeah. That was one of the main reasons that voters and was born right was that he didn't. He rejected that cast on the main reason you there so both within this, like, if you're a cashier Trier like you're you're working on your karmic that because, as far as your concern, if you can work off enough of it Be borne the next life into the brahmin class and then you can work the hard and get out of that and end up achieving enlightenment. So there is like a hierarchical progression right. And, as you were saying, one of the main things that your tasked with as a Hindu is Burma, which is respond. Ability to your cast here right,

acting like a member of your cast, rather than acting out like Gandhi. I love it. You anything else, yeah, there's actually for tenets dislike the year, the eight. What was it? The eight noble, the noble, eight full path that right The there's like four in Hindus and one of them is dormer responsibility to. Basically your cast societies rules but, more importantly, like Christmas rules here and also like being having a responsibility and duty to your own, calling in life in sick living, like that. Our third pursuing wealth, because in Hindu isn't there's this idea like kind of like him, who'd somewhere. You don't need to be rich for your system be poor either right and one of the things is just like Buddhism and Hinduism you're trying to escape earthly

fires in wants. One way to do that is to have the money to not have to worry about where you're foods can come from. Freeze you up for a lot of time to contemplate and get toward my right sure, that's Arthur, comma is more fulfilling desires. Frequently light sexual desires that kind of stuff, but there's all sorts of like taboo and constraint, and all that kind of like a free for all in Hinduism as far as sex goes right right and then lastly, there's Mosher, once you have move past your earthly desires, you become free from delusion and realize they there there is. There is no earthly self there's just your connection to Krishna, and then you can become in mind, which is article most attract. Yes, nice pretty interesting stuff, that's nirvana! Not!

and not the ban man. I hope we pointed out at the beginning of this, or else everybody's really confused right now. Oh probably call it something like Nirvana, not the van agar I've. You want to know more about Nirvana, not the ban. You can type that word into the search bar has the votes that camp consistent search box, There was some a more about Nirvana. The watch. The great documentary montage back This I called Nirvana Band, montage heck, carry well done. Is it it's great pressing I'm going to call the biggest van in Uganda, guys venomous Joshua prison bearing a huge, possibly the biggest man of your show, and I was in every chance to get away

I live in Kampala, Uganda, where we run an NGO for children. A severe special needs have been abandoned, orphan or abuse on the nazi sabotage episodes of about a brilliant but poorly exclude a plan of the Germans to infiltrate the? U S chaos. I wondered if he does need that. Wasn't an original idea by Hitler, but in fact during World war, one case of their home number two had an entire sabotaged ring running out of New York City, those responsible for numerous acts of terror, including blowing up attempting about railroads bridges, canals from the EAST Coast other way to San Francisco. Canada did not know that during the neutral period are neutral period of nineteen. Forty one of the largest and most devastating was blowing up a munitions depot on New Jerseys Black Tom Island. The blast was heard all the way and fully and through shrapnel, actually damage the arm and torch, lady liberty, herself white, because you're Wilhelm,

side is gonna. Kick his body have figured out- as regards isn't what I sound like a year now, like him, about a thrill of some of the other planets their worth we discovered where attaching a broader bombs on ships and other interests. When was trying to buy you S, passports from dockworkers smuggling wise and it was found out and ushered in putting photos on passports. I think I am it couldn't be stolen use anymore. Anyway. I guess it was fascinating, the German they were a little better sabotage would have made a better film that is Josh his lot Josh these other for the work you do it there are enough again.
