The Life of Buddha - Narrated by Carrie Grossman

Wonderful narrative skill have to raise your voice a little

I haven't cried in a long time and haven't cried for so long ever. Tears of joy and nothing else. I can never thank you enough for this wonderful journey.

Where can I read the text because my English is not good🙂

If i pushed a nuclear healing code you know button to launch healing nukes and to heal millions of people. Most people would judge me as a monster for doing that. You probably will judge me as a monster and never watch my stuff again. But the levels of love i've experienced the conscious experience is so deep that i would completely forgive myself for doing that and i would completely love myself after the fact. Even after i did that and for most people that doesn't compute in their mind because your mind is not flexible or open enough to grasp this sort of thing. Because they really believe that no that that's so evil how could you do... And then you forgive yourself... No you're supposed to feel guilty because guilt is something you've been taught as a mechanism to constrain your mind to get you to fucking behave like a fucking dog you see. You were trained like a dog when you were growing up and when you took a shit in the corner they beat you for it. Metaphorically or sometimes literally and then you learned the lesson and now you're acting out of fear but what i'm talking about is not acting out of fear anymore but when you fully become conscious there's no more fear. There's only love, there's truth. If i ever do something really bad in my life. I'm at the stage where it's almost a little bit dangerous to say this. Where i won't even feel guilty about it. Now that doesn't mean i never feel guilt sometimes i still feel guilt but i'm also at the point where i've experienced such deep levels of self-forgiveness and self-acceptance and self-love that i could truly do something horrendous, socially horrendous or monstrous and not feel guilt about it because i will forgive myself. And for many people that's scary. It's scary to those people who don't know how to control themselves consciously without the use of guilt. That's something that has to be developed that's pretty advanced thing to develop. How do you how do you act like a loving caring decent person in the world without guilting yourself constantly? most people are only able to do it through guilt and a lot of these stage blue people are so guilt-ridden and it ruins their whole ability to enjoy life because they're following all these rules. It's not coming from a genuine intrinsic motivation. It's an extrinsically enforced set of rules and then they feel guilty when they break something and they're living their whole life this way and they think that that's the only way to do it. It's not the only way to do it. In fact it's a trap. You gotta transcend that.

On a certain level, we have Buddha in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the Buddha can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the Buddha can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.

Hon log så underligt. Så underligt att Lukeria plötsligt gick tillbaka efter tio minuter för att se till henne: »Hon stod vid väggen, alldeles bredvid fönstret, hon höll handen mot väggen och huvudet hade hon lutat mot handen, så där stod hon där och tänkte. Och hon var så försjunken i sina tankar att hon inte märkte hur jag stod och tittade: på henne inne i det andra rummet. Hon såg ut som om hon log, hon stod där och funderade och log. Jag tittade på henne, så vände jag mig tyst om och gick ut och funderade jag med, och så hör jag plötsligt att hon öppnar fönstret. Jag gick genast in för att säga ›det är kallt ute, förkyl sig inte, frun‹, och då ser jag att hon ställer sig i fönstret, hon står där redan i hela sin längd i det öppna fönstret med ryggen åt mig, och i händerna håller hon Buddha. Hjärtat stannade i bröstet på mig och jag skrek: ›Frun, Frun!‹ Hon hörde det, gjorde en rörelse som för att vända sig mot mig men vände sig inte om utan tog ett steg rakt ut och med Buddha tryckt mot bröstet störtade hon ut genom fönstret!«

Beautifully narrated. Thank you, Carrie.

Try reading "Nisshitsu" Thought it was a story book but its a wisdom powerbomb. Even a kid can read it. And the wisdom is so deep.

I think im sick a deep depression has eaten me alive for years

Ive tryed budhism but i just cant truly comprehend the 3rd truth...

I cannot be enlightened or happy untill i do so

One of the beautiful voice , for reading Buddha beautiful life .

This was beautiful Carrie <3 !!!

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Life of Buddha

Be happy!

So many among us were taught from the cradle that feelings are the enemy. And there's nothing wrong with them at all. And that's the truth. Believe it or not believe it, it is unchanging. You can't doubt it out of existence, and you can't doubt God out of existence. so much for atheism.

this should be enough to inspire a knee jerk reaction from millions of people, more or less at once. I can hardly wait. If there is anything that is absolutely necessary right now, it's anger. But know also that whatever anyone feels at any given time given any stimuli, is perfectly alright.

While it is typically annoying to watch a classic film on this platform, due to the incredibly caustic commercial interruptions that suddenly pop up in the middle of dialogue, i do appreciate whoever among the powers that are who have made available such an enormous archive of educational material such as all this information about Buddhism, among other useful topics such as Hermetica and the speeches of Alan Watts, along with meditation techniques using the power of sound frequencies and affirmations. I don't approve of the tasteless advertising of Ukranian women who are attempting to flee a war torn nation embroiled in political upheaval and conflict. Not just because im not heterosexual, but because it is shameless human trafficking. People are not mindless objects. They have minds of their own, though just about everyone born after 1984 would heartily disagree. Keep in mind I said "just about". Not all of them. A scant few of them are worth getting to know. I am outraged and intensely reject the attitude that people are still considered property, though slavery is no longer mainstream.

Buddha ♥️

This is Art with a capital A.
Enchanting voice and skillful narration.

Remarkable narrator 🎉

151. Say: "Come, I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": Join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.
152. And come not nigh to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice;- no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear;- whenever ye speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and fulfil the covenant of Allah: thus doth He command you, that ye may remember.
153. Verily, this is My way, leading straight: follow it: follow not (other) paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus doth He command you. that ye may be righteous.
154. Moreover, We gave Moses the Book, completing (Our favour) to those who would do right, and explaining all things in detail,- and a guide and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
155. And this is a Book which We have revealed as a blessing: so follow it and be righteous, that ye may receive mercy:
156. Lest ye should say: "The Book was sent down to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by assiduous study:"
157. Or lest ye should say: "If the Book had only been sent down to us, we should have followed its guidance better than they." Now then hath come unto you a clear (sign) from your Lord,- and a guide and a mercy: then who could do more wrong than one who rejecteth Allah's signs, and turneth away therefrom? In good time shall We requite those who turn away from Our signs, with a dreadful penalty, for their turning away.
158. Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or thy Lord (Himself), or certain of the signs of thy Lord! the day that certain of the signs of thy Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith. Say: "Wait ye: we too are waiting."
159. As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.
160. He that doeth good shall have ten times as much to his credit: He that doeth evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil: no wrong shall be done unto (any of) them.
161. Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with Allah."
162. Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds:
163. No partner hath He: this am I commanded, and I am the first of those who bow to His will.
164. Say: "Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than Allah, when He is the Cherisher of all things (that exist)? Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is towards Allah: He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed."
165. It is He Who hath made you (His) agents, inheritors of the earth: He hath raised you in ranks, some above others: that He may try you in the gifts He hath given you: for thy Lord is quick in punishment: yet He is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Just horrible!

I’ve listened to this so many times, your voice is Magik! So calming!!

U have great voice that makes me feel not only to hear the story but also to the live the story of budha ❤️

he is hell asking the church tell them get saved by Jesús Church

I wish you could do more videos on budha

This moved my heart

👁🔮🌐🌀🔯🕵

We are Blessed to see these programmes with English translations. Buddha was born in India to Hindu parents. Theres a similarly between the two, Hinduism and Buddhism. Buddha was a philosopher, he was intelligent and had an abundance of common sense. His ability to look deep within to understand who we are and ultimately find the truth about life - identity of who we are and what we are - the beginning of suffering caused by birth and rebirth, expressed in these videos beautifully. 🙏

You have a beautiful voice thank you for the upload 🙏🙏

It is a great suffering for me for I fell in love with your voice by listening to this. It is so soothing and I am so absorbed by the story. Thank you for sharing

So folks millions of dollars won’t make you happy 😃 crown prince gave it all up for enlightenment 😇🙏🇸🇦☮️

Jesus would've made a great bhuddist!! Bhudda and Jesus teachings are so similar! They both taught the golden rule, treat others as you want to be treated. They both denounced worldly riches and violence. They both performed miracles healing people. They both had disciples who followed them. Bhudda means enlightened one. He said he wasn't the only Bhudda there was more before him and will be more after him. I think they both knew the truth of the real God. They followed the Word of God written on all our hearts. Have a blessed day everyone

Namo Buddah

The background noise called “music” is alternately, by turns, distracting, strident, dominating, loud, annoying, disturbing, and back again detracting from the serene and low key narration. The background noise hides and overshadows the voice of the speaker to the extent I cannot hear the words. If possible using modern audio technology remove this version and upload a version without the background.

Carrie, I have become a big fan of yours after listening to your beautiful voice over for "The Life of Buddha." You have an amazing voice and you made the story come alive. I'm a huge fan of Buddha (for not being a god to many, but for being a great human being) who could renunciate everything with strong will and mind. I listen to this audio once a week at least. This makes me feel so light, makes me meditate and sometimes I play this and sleep. Such a relaxing and soothing narration with a beautiful voice over. Every word in there, every sound during narration carries very high positive energy and passes it to anyone who listens to, and every time they listen to. Thanks for this beautiful contribution of yours for narrating the story of a "Real HERO" with such dedication. Not everyone can leave pleasures, not for longer times and one who could do such thing as far as I know is the one and only "Gauthama Buddha." Big applause to the music team too and very big thanks to you :)
