Wow, thank you. This explanation of letting go and nibanna is not the becoming dispassionate about everything and disappearing into a bubble. It's about being wherever you are with ease, not running away. Switching off. This is the most important thing I've heard in a while. thank you, Ajahn. I hope I can save this video and listen to it every day. What an important explanation to understand.

Over 19 years I've done around 7000 hours of meditation. When I let go of grasping, there is not just clarity and peace, but deep and profound bliss in my body/mind and all I perceive.
The false self is known to never have been real.
The true self is known.
This is my experience.

It's interesting how many of these monks are British.

Amazing talk
But for my aversion mind the "heu" every 20 secondes is challenging 😂

Alive beings are as ignorant, greedy, and desire lust. Therefore, they are reborn life after life. Sometimes they have a noble life because they know how to make the blessing. Sometimes they're in a low situation because they make evil karma. Sometimes they are reborn in the realm of heaven for enjoining good blessings. Sometimes they are reborn in hell for punishment. The round births and deaths are really terrible and miserable.
The path to the cessation of suffering, putting an end to samsara, and entering nirvana. Those who practice the noble eightfold path can attain one of the levels of sainthood from Sotapanna, to Sakadagami, to Anagami, and the final one Arahant, which reaches the supreme enlightenment, being completely free from misery, and can stop reborn
