00:00Remember the Buddha was in his 20s when he was wondering why does pure religion become so corrupted
00:07and when he had the guts to take up a humongous challenge he said I will cleanse religion,
00:13I will bring out the real essence of religion and all this in his 20s. 20s when most people
00:19are just prisoners and slaves of their bodily instincts and their inner illusions that's when
00:26he decided to act. Today we need hundreds of Buddhas. Obviously today's Buddha would not walk
00:33barefooted. He would probably not go village to village. We have better technologies to make us
00:39help us reach out to people but the core traits will remain the same. A very very sharp and curious
00:45mind, deep compassion, detachment, not attracted, allured by money, power, family, a deep desire to
00:53cleanse religion. The traits we talked of are needed to be displayed hundreds of youngsters like you people.
