In this conversation, Pannobhasa and Brian Ruhe discuss the concept of the middle way in Buddhism. Thye engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the nature of reality and the self, challenging the scientific realist view that science can provide a complete understanding of reality. They argue that most of reality is invisible and beyond scientific grasp, and propose that there are scientists who believe in the existence of an unseen world. The speakers delve into the complexities of understanding the self and reality, leaving the audience with a deeper appreciation for the mysteries of existence and avoiding extremes of self-indulgence and self-torture.
Western Buddhists often reject metaphysical teachings, prioritizing scientific realism.
Western Buddhists often reject metaphysical teachings, prioritizing scientific ideologies.
Buddha teaches middle path between extremes of unity and multiplicity.
Buddha’s teachings correspond to leaves in his hand, not all leaves in the forest.
Buddha knew higher dimensional understanding of existence, like 31 planes of existence.
Pannobhasa discussed the limitations of intellect in understanding reality, sharing personal experience and Brian saying that many Western Buddhists believe in something higher.
Brian believes that globalists may want to promote an annihilationist view to control people, while real science may be more Buddhist with evidence for children who recall previous lives.

David Reynolds, alias Paññobhāsa, and formerly known as Paññobhāsa Mahathera, is an American-born Theravada Buddhist philosopher and teacher. He has a degree in Biology and up until recently he was a monk with thirty years seniority in the ordained Sangha, with most of that time spent in the forests of Burma, and about half of it spent living and meditating alone in caves. After a few years at a monastery in the declining state of California he has migrated across the USA and has set himself up in a new, freer lay life in Greenville, South Carolina where he continues to write and teach. He has long been pretty well fed up with political correctness, and is moved to make a stand.
