the peoples of that … the peoples of that period had a lot of time on their hands. Still, “not of human origin…” And in the Bible when an altar is built, “lest you die.” I’m not ruling it out.
Check out some … Check out some Vedic literature on the web. The belief in life on other planets is very evident. Even I, at a very young age suspected that among those bright points in the sky were other places like Earth with other people looking up at their night skies, staring back at me.
Carl Sagan stated, “Vedic Cosmology is the only one in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology.”
I always thought … I always thought Uma was the ‘Middle way’ as in Madhyamika. His other children are named Ganden, Dechen and Mipam so you know where the names come from
Buddhism is my … Buddhism is my favorite of the religions. It’s peaceful, compassionate, curious, and never afraid of science or technology. Nice talk.
Sidenote: this guys voice and body language reminds me of the German scientist in Dr. Strangelove.
Yes, this is Uma … Yes, this is Uma Thurmans dad. In Tibetan, the central channel of energy that runs through the center of our body and into our heads is called the uma.
I have never heard either say that this is where she gets her name but it seems a reasonable conclusion.
Must be that the ” … Must be that the “general crowd” has stayed away from this video: I checked 4-5 pages back and nobody has mentioned that this is Uma’s dad.
A good buddhist talk. I’m sorry for all the intrigue among the comments!
outerspaceman,,,,,, … outerspaceman,,,,,,i have such pity for your ingnorance!!!! His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama a mere celebrity? Wow you really are in outerspace!
For my fellow … For my fellow Buddhists, all of this negativity is a waste of precious, beautiful time. For those coming from an organized religion’s viewpoint, your negativity and judgemental attitude is the reason I left you and embraced the beautiful dharma of The Buddha. ~Peace~
What makes Bob … What makes Bob Thurman an authority on Buddhism other than his academic qualifications? If you check his explanations of Buddhist ideas in his book “Why the Dalai Lama Matters” you will see that they are quite confusing and even misleading with their use of pseudo-scientific and Biblical language.
See for yourself. Google ‘Robert Thurman’s Challenge’
It’s very weird … It’s very weird that the WSS would actually use YouTube to ask Bob Thurman to present evidence don’t you think?
Anyway, I don’t understand why there are so many negative comments in here but you’re all entitled to your opinion.
When it comes to me, I loved the talk. I found it very wise and enjoyable
If you, Robert … If you, Robert Thurman, are not yourself lying, then you must show your evidence to prove your public statements: that Shugden people are sectarian, the Buddhist Taliban as you named them; and that the Western Shugden Society is working for the Chinese. You should show your evidence publicly through the internet before 25th October 2008. If your evidence does not appear by this date then we will conclude that you have lied publicly and are misleading people.

It’s like anything with Buddhism: if the teaching/teacher works for you, good.
If the teaching and/or teacher doesn’t work for you, that’s okay, too. Either find another teacher, or another teaching, or don’t.
