Dear Mindah, About 20 years ago I attended a 3 days retreat doing Samatha,Vipassana and Metta meditation.I came out as a new person.I became a calmer happier and able to handle any stress on my job much better..I continue to meditate twice a day and trying to be more mindful.You are doing a great job of planting seed of the the Dharma . You are truly a good teacher and enthusiastic Buddhist. may you reach the ultimate goal Nivarna soon, Metta.
Yes, peace is certainly a result of meditation too! And finding peace is a very valid reason for meditating. I guess I approached the topic of 'why meditate' with the angle of how it fills the 'happiness void' which can't be filled by things we find in society. If I made the video longer I would have probably talked more about finding peace and how meditation increases one's wisdom. I'm sure to come back to this topic again and again in future videos. ;)
Thanks Todd. I'd love more to watch it, but I'm pretty happy since that's enough people to fill a couple of cinemas. I really appreciate your support. :) Thank you.
My husband just showed me your channel last night after a discussion we had about yoga and meditation. I am so excited to learn more from your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and teachings with us.
Dear Mindah, I like you! Meditation is important to go to heaven in a higher realm and meditation is crucial for us to over come suffering and achieve something higher in spiritual state. Wish you luck and happiness and hope someday I see you. Sincerely your friend, Dung
Your Meditation information is fantastic - something all people should know - I love your youtube channel and the Enthusiastic Buddhist website - This is really good and structured work please keep it up
No words! Wonderful information/teachings contributed by you and the benefit is limitless... May your efforts be fruitful in favor of wondering sentient beings in the SAMSARA.. NAMO _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
Just wanted to say that I've seen a few of your videos and love it. Ive been exploring bhuddism and I think of all the monks and lay people that try to teach bhuddism via youtube, I like yours the best - as it is both informative, simple, easy to follow and understand, and just nice to hear from you (your not boring/intellectual - just right!)
Hi Mindah-Lee. Thank-you for your video's. I find them very clear and helpful. I have been practising transcendental meditation for some time where you silently repeat a word/mantra. I am becoming more interested in the teachings of buddha as it closely matches my own observations and instincts about the nature of reality. I am now wondering if transcendental and calm abiding meditation are compatible, the same, or different? Maybe i need to switch techniques, or maybe it's not important. Any suggestions from your experience would be welcome. Thanks for your time. Yeti.
***** I have experience with TM and it takes you to the same place. Repeating a nonsensical word means you aren't thinking about anything. No thoughts...no problems :)
So I'm currently writing a fantasy series with its own mythology and gods and goddesses, and I based a lot of characters on people I know, and I thought of making a goddess of wisdom and basing her on you.
All the meditation techniques do not work for all . Keep trying all.chanting qualities of triple gems is the best . Ex: - " Lord Budhdha discovered the truth himself without any assistance of anyone else "
Right house, right car, right phone, right man/woman(as a possession to show off), right labels on the right clothes, then you can be happy. It's so crazy. Have all you need to be happy right now. Keep spreading happiness.
hi thanks for a educational video, I was wondering about a friend of mine who has lost her husband and parents over the space if 5 yrs.. she's very anxious and depressed, she's only 40yrs of age, what advice would you give?.. thanks
Hi, I found out about a week ago that I was a Buddhist Monk in a past life. I fell from a cliff and died. How can I learn more about who this man was and how can I bring some of the knowledge this man must of had to use in this life?
please, Mindha-lee, I have started meditation since 7 weeks and ti goes very well :) and I would like to know: 1) is it allright to pratice minfullness and vipassana meditation with half open eyes? 2) why so many buddhist keep their eyes hal-open ? 3) why also many people keep their eyes closed? thanks
Hi Mindah, I'm a meditation teacher in the New York area, and I think you're a truly gifted teacher. When you're in the NY area please let me know. My wife and I would love to host you! Also, if you're planning future guided pilgrimages to the Buddhist sites in India and Nepal, please advise us. Thank you for your beautiful work!
Hi George, thank you for your kind words. For news about future pilgrimages, please sign up to our mailing list eepurl.com/bsj5Nn if you haven't already.
Hi, Miss Mindah- Lee Kumar, I am a meditation follower. I really feel refresh every time i do it, so i like it. But i think i need some discipline and/ or more practice. What i know of meditation is what I see here in you tube. So i try by myself only. So sometimes i feel alone or embarrassed since no one in my family practice meditation. What do you suggest me?
Hello. Does meditation erases the ego? If so, how can one live in this world without an ego? I suffer so much trying to accomplish what society expects from me, but I always feel that I am a complete mess in every aspect of my life.... please help me. Thanks.
as i investigate more i think i will answer my own question but in becoming a buddhist is this something you tell people you are or are you practicing buddhism? also, does this mean your occupation could be at odds with this practice?
"Do merits , refrain from doing sins, tackle your mind , this is the budhism " Basis of budhism is reincarnation and law of karma . If have no confidence search on internet and in books for proofs. In theravada tradition you get lot of meditation techniques . There are lot of gods but no supreme god . There can't be a creator coz who created the creator , why not only good people , why not world without any problem, why doesn"t he appear before us.In world history nobody has ever seen him. We shouldn't do anything to others what we don't them to do to us, call " Aththuppanayake dharma " Five ways to attain final stage 01. Listening to budhist lectures 02. Teaching what you know about budhism to others 03. Meditation 04. Chanting 05. Thinking what you know about budhism Try this , Having known this , " Gods, brahmas and human beings were benefited by lord Budhdha " Keep chanting this and other qualities of triple gems for all evils , " Gods,brahmas and human beings were benefited " Further , Visiting four places highly recommended namely birth place of lord budhdha , where he became Budhdha , where he conducted first lecture and place where he passed away . According to " Maha parinibbana sutta " all four places should be on a straight single line with similar distances among those places " May triple gems bless you !
I'm seeing this clip. It's very interesting Dharma talk but it's too quickly and use difficult vocabulary. You should speak slowly and use easy word for people who is not good at English. I think it's useful for general people. Thank you.

Awesomeness
Excellent explanation of the benefits of sitting meditation. Thank you. Namo Amitabha Buddha.
Thank you for this perspective. I follow the way of Zen and am inspired by your insight and sincerity. Carry on!

I wonder if instead of emphasising "happiness" in the beginning it would be more precise to use "peace"?
feel good listening to you. How to get all your complete vdos? thanks you.
Thanks 👍👍
🙏 great

in your opinion what is the best meditation technique? Thank you
All the meditation techniques do not work for all . Keep trying all.chanting qualities of triple gems is the best . Ex: - " Lord Budhdha discovered the truth himself without any assistance of anyone else "
Please do a video of explaining Vipassana and Samatha Meditation and it Jhanas. thank You.

missing You long time, do not release new video.
I have a question: Could I meditate to music from games? It would help me focus, and I need to know because I'm not experienced at meditation.
To start with you done that, but continue with meditation techniques come in Budhism

Mindah-Lee Kumar is it good to light an aroma therapy candle whilst meditating
Meditation ...the art of taming the naughty monkey mind and just observing. ^^
Meditation is can chang the world be peacefully by meditation. Pleace all of you do meditation to gether.

Thank you so much for your fast response, Mindah! God bless you! I'm trying to meditate every day, your guided mindfull meditation helped a lot!
hi,how to become a buddhist
as i investigate more i think i will answer my own question but in becoming a buddhist is this something you tell people you are or are you practicing buddhism? also, does this mean your occupation could be at odds with this practice?
"Do merits , refrain from doing sins, tackle your mind , this is the budhism "
Basis of budhism is reincarnation and law of karma . If have no confidence search on internet and in books for proofs.
In theravada tradition you get lot of meditation techniques .
There are lot of gods but no supreme god . There can't be a creator coz who created the creator , why not only good people , why not world without any problem, why doesn"t he appear before us.In world history nobody has ever seen him.
We shouldn't do anything to others what we don't them to do to us, call " Aththuppanayake dharma "
Five ways to attain final stage
01. Listening to budhist lectures
02. Teaching what you know about budhism to others
03. Meditation
04. Chanting
05. Thinking what you know about budhism
Try this ,
Having known this ,
" Gods, brahmas and human beings were benefited by lord Budhdha "
Keep chanting this and other qualities of triple gems for all evils ,
" Gods,brahmas and human beings were benefited "
Further ,
Visiting four places highly recommended namely birth place of lord budhdha , where he became Budhdha , where he conducted first lecture and place where he passed away .
According to " Maha parinibbana sutta " all four places should be on a straight single line with similar distances among those places "
May triple gems bless you !
Excellent message. May I make one suggestion - talking a bit slower would make this more relaxing and easier to listen to. Ayidaphat! /\
***** Your speech rate is fine. I think this is how you naturally think and speak. Just speak naturally! BTW, excellent videos!
Where have you been all my life? :)
I'm seeing this clip. It's very interesting Dharma talk but it's too quickly and use difficult vocabulary. You should speak slowly and use easy word for people who is not good at English. I think it's useful for general people. Thank you.
