This is the third time I'm watching this video and this time I got 'light bulbs going in my head'. I'm super exited. Each time I watch this I learn something new and do slight changes in my meditation and it really works!... ☆
Thank you David and Bhante- Sadhu! It's peculiar to see David pulling back and asking questions as if it were the first time so that newcomers can understand. :) Good interview, and definitely some good insights for people who's never heard TWIM and the 6Rs before. Blessings to everyone at the center! Sadhu.
Diego- I was playing my role as interviewer. I was wondering if someone would mention this after I just wrote the new book "The Path to Nibbana" - Whoops, I just did a shamless PR spot. Metta! :-)
Thank u ven bhante for sharing with us ur journey of life ....the practical teachers r only few in the world...for guidance of very serious mediators...for teaching of Ananpan sati ...satipatthan..... so many teachers and retreat r available....in the world...but... the ...very serious part of teachings...Dependent origination...some of ur discourse u have pointed our about the Heart Base..please give a discourse on heart base (Hridya vatthu) in connection with dependent origination....
1:14:54 Would like to clarify; Bante said the Buddha sat in compassion, does that mean; 1) The Buddha was meditating with compassion as the meditation object 2) And by compassion Bante means: "allowing others the space to experience their pain and loving them anyway" 3) So was the Buddha was radiating loving kindness + compassion during meditation?

One day, I hope to teach this method of meditation to alleviate the suffering here in my country.
Thank you for sharing!! It is amazing how many changes can be made with a proper translation of the suttas.

Compassion (not loving kindness) was his object of meditation. So #1,2 But this was the jhana of the Base of Infinite Space- this was what he was in.
Hi Bhante!
At 4:44, you mention a book about the 5 visions that happen right before death.
What is the name of the book?
Thank you!
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu
why was Bhante not happy with the personality changes of mahasi vipassana ? And how did that change with twin ?
Because there WAS NO change. It didn't eliminate the craving forces that are present in all of us.
🙏🙏🙏
Lol, seems like he had the Midas touch wherever he went. Strikes me as a bit of a bullshitter/embellisher if I'm being honest.
I do get a good vibe from the interviewer though. Would be interesting to hear some of his experiences/insights.
🙏🙏🙏
