Buddhism isnt a religion, it is a belief.

more than that.

How did the Buddha teach?

What did he teach?

Why did the Blessed One establish the order of the Monks/Nuns, and institute the Vinaya rules to govern their conduct?

No idea, the teaching are supposed to be the same.

Similar, but the ideals of Boddhisatta are emphasized in Tibetan/ Mahayana tradition.

The realms of existence
user posted image

Practitioners of Chan n Dzogchen would be able to experience higher level realms of existence.

Humans have the capacity n ability to experience all realms. Hence, human life is precious, this is the best place to practise dharma

All these places we have been in our infinite past, except 23-27.

My Theravada friends r not into meditation, cant sit still, mind wandering wildly. They prefer other practises like dana n offerings. Hence, i dont get much understanding n insight from Theravada.

Gone thru a few youtube videos, i think they r almost the same

One does what one could , although we should push ourselves a bit further ( the best if we could in this life).

meditation practice is to still the mind to enable it to observe certain things not perceivable by normal mind.

I am not surprised with other schools of buddhism who practice meditation to be able to perceive certain things and know certain things.

But if you wanna talk about a systematic approach, like what are you supposed to do, and what do you look for , then you need qualified teachers who proficient in the practice to guide you.

Ananda Krishnan passing has put focus back on his son, who seems like a genuine Buddhist monk, which is very rare nowadays.

In Buddhist tradition, parents that allow their sons to be ordained as Buddhist monk get a lot of merits.

I still continuous create and sharing, been practice this more than 5 year but not this platform.
Buddhism more to self cultivation and rely on discipline and determination.
Therefore each of us have different kind of experience, while people intend to
look for wealth, health and harmony where culture folk belief is more suitable to community.

u convert buddhism 5 years?

That 5 year i mention earlier is continuous sharing dharma story and buddha story. 
But unfortunately some of the Buddha drama video get ban. So i gotta to reupload time to time.

There are some Thai made animated series on the Buddha which follows closely the Tipitaka.

There are two main reasons. First, there is an allegation that the Buddha drama leans more toward a soap opera and strays far from the original version. As a result, many rejected the 2013 version. The controversy sparked in India, Nepal, Thailand, and South Korea, leading to the banning of this drama. Even Netflix had to remove the series from its platform.

Second, there is the copyright issue. When I combined English and Chinese subtitles and upload it, I kept receiving ban notifications over the past 10 years, eventually losing my Facebook and YouTube accounts.

Deep in my heart, I believe it is a good series to introduce the life of Buddha to the public. Although the content differs somewhat from Theravada or Mahayana traditions, it is still a complete series worth passing down.
*
The drama seems to be made from India's production company, which is not of buddhist background. I would advise caution to propagate this in internet.

There is a good Thai animated series that very closely represent the Theravada Point of view, you can try google YouTube it.
