. >> what does buddhism bring? >> i think it brings the best parts of all religions.t is also a practice, i love the word practice. how do you get to carnegie hall? practice. how do you get to the carnegie hall of your soul? you practice. you change your behavior. every day. it is very difficult. you are constantly falling down. you have to try to change it again. what i love about the practice, you sit and you meditate and you try to do nothing but listen to the sound of your breath and not have a thought. a teacher had a beautiful saying he said to me, he said of all of the creatures in the universe, the only one from the house fly to the rhinoceros, they all rest in a waking state. except man. mankind is the only one that does not rest while he is awake. we were talking earlier. taking the five minute nap. >> you can feel the fatigue leaving you. when i go to bed, i hit the pillow and i am asleep in under one minute. >> our brains are cellular material. if you take a weight, you put it down, you can do another one. >> let me talk about "homeland." bring up some of

in buddhism they say embrace suffering, you know, be aware of it. learn to let go. to hell with it. i can't stand it. i don't think there's anything good about death. i hate it i hate it. i think it's the true flaw in the whole system. >> so you're dylan thomas, rage, rage, rage. >> what's good about it. why shouldn't you get to be here forever. why shouldn't every one of our loved ones be here forever. i don't want people suffering, god knows. i want everybody to have fun. have fun, that's-- when my buddy mark left this planet, he waited and stay add live to hold katherine and my hand and he looked at us before that mohr phone kicked in and he said have fun. >> that's what he said, have fun. >> and try it, you know, it's not so easy, you know. you get just so many sunrises and sunsets, and you waste one, you don't get it back. >> rose: exactly. >> you can't go, it's not like credit card where you get money back. it's gone. now what we spoke about earlier, though, because it's complicated. it's not so simple that i hate death, i love death, suffering, et cetera. i also believe becau

buddhism is known as a way of life or a religion that promotes inner peace and harmony. so why the violence and oppression in one of the world's most buddhist countries? >> the government is actually actively involved in promoting this idea that the rohingya population poses a threat to national security. this is something we hear very often, and it infuses all of the violence that is taking place right now. >> reporter: sittwe, the provincial capital before this violence, had a demographic balance that was roughly 50/50 between buddhists and muslims. now, with the exception of one quarter, which is almost like a ghetto, sittwe is a muslim-free city. everybody has been driven out. >> reporter: one monk in particular is behind the violence. his name is wirathu, and he's known as the burmese bin laden. he's the leader of a group called 969. >> of the followers of 969 refer to muslims as dogs. they refer to the rohingya as subhuman, but beyond that they actually believe the rohingya are subhuman, and i think this is an important point. it's not simply that they are stirring

in the world religions textbook that we always talk about, judaism sits alongside buddhism and islam and christianity as a religion with its rituals and its belief in god and its coming of age ceremonies, et cetera. this era really challenges this idea for the first time, in large scale. can you be openly identified as jewish and yet say, i don't believe in god, i don't do any rituals, i don't belong to a place of worship. for me judaism is like being italian-american, or african-american, it is a cultural or racial designation, not a religious designation. the reform jus at this time were pushing against it. no, no, it is a religious designation. that's what judaism is, a dwelling of god in man. one of the ways it man tests itself, this tension, in this era is over the question of justice within the socioeconomic sphere but particularly in the industrial world. not only should the workers push back against management, but how can you as a good jew allow for workers to be downtrodden and be abused in the way that workers are. so fighting for workers' rights some jews will say is inhe
