Coping

 


Many of the Buddha´s teachings have been lost forever. Note the reactions in the commentary section! "You never explained what was lost". Eh, cuz it´s lost, bro. "What is left is sufficient". Eh, how do you know, since many teachings *and meditation techniques* were lost? My favorite: "Nothing was lost, we have the Pali Canon". While the comments aren´t as acerbic as when Christians and atheists fight it out (maybe meditation has *some* beneficial aspects), the whole thing still sounds like a cope. 

Said with the reservation that I don´t know what this YouTube channel really stands for. Maybe in other videos *they* claim to have access to the lost teachings...

Which, I suppose, would also be a coping mechanism of sorts.
