Maybe change title to "SN 46:54" instead of "Sn 46:54" - it might make the title clearer that you are citing the Samyutta Nikaya and not the Suttanipata. :-D
of course! only in having confortable place, having enough for good and harmonius life you can go higher spiritualy. Even monks live in great material surroundings. And dont forget that through wealth you can help the world and people... so I dont tkink there is anything wrong with that as long you do no harm to anyone.
you could ask for having decent conditions to sustain the body while you keep practicing , for your own health and hapiness of your dear ones - good start
Are you seriously teaching that Mudita - the third brahmavihara - is "just joy" and not "sympathetic joy"? Now this one's totally insupportable, Vimalaramsi. Somanassa and Piti can be rendered as "joy," but even the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - which do actually refer to the Brahmaviharas - know that mudita is joy in another's success. Is there a sutta that supports your view on Mudita being merely "joy"?
How ever cultivate to highest level… What ever the Buddha say is in fact 2,500 years a old …. All what is been say is writing by MAN 👨, writer .. is all the the SAME in all religions… Just believe.. only 1st stage BELIEVE stage … of of cultivation ….
Jesus Christ is THE way, THE truth, and THE life. NO ONE comes to the father except through the Son-Jesus Christ. All of this other stuff does not connect you to the Creator of the Universe or give you deep, lasting peace. This is meant to help, not condemn anyone. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
I left Christianity as the bible is unreliable because it contains too many unfufilled prophecies, self contradictions and atrocities. Here's a sample. 1) End time Jesus said some of those standing with him shall not !see death till they see the son of man coming in his kingdom Matt 16:28 Jesus said this generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away Luke 21:32-33 2) Temptation God does not tempt man James 1:13 God did tempt Abraham Gen 22:1 3) Earth Earth abides forever Eccl 1:4 Elements shall melt, earth and the works shall be burned up 2 Peter 3:10 4) power of god With god all things are possible Matt 19:26 Lord was with Judah, drove out inhabitants of the mountain but not inhabitants of the Valley because they had chariots of iron Judges 1:19 5) Sword Put aside your sword, for all who take sword shall perish with the sword Matt26:52 He that has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one Luke 22:36 6) crucifixion They crucified him in the 3rd hour Mark 15:25 About the 6th hour, they crucified him John 19: 14-16 7) Jesus Jesus never answered Pilate and Pilate marvelled greatly Matt 27:13-14 Jesus answered Pilate John 18:33-34 8) Sins Everyone bear own sins. Sins not passed to another Deut 24:16 Sins are passed down to the 4th generations Exodus 20:5 All sin thru one man Romans 5:12 Children do not bear parent's sins Ezekial 18:20 Slaughter the children for their father's sins Isaiah 14:21:22 9) god God does not change Malachi 3:6 God does not lie and repent Numbers 23:19 The lord repented of the evil he thought of doing to his people Exodus 32:14 The lord put a lying spirit in the mouth of some prophets 1 kings 22:23 and god allows people to be deluded Thessul 2:11-12 though lying lips are a abomination to the lord Prov 12:22 New covenants given because first eternal covenants given to Jews were faulty Hebrews 8:7 10) Grace Man is saved through grace, not works Ephesians 2:8-9 By works a man is justified, not by faith alone James 2:24 11) Parents Honor thy parents Exodus 20:12 Death for disobeying parents Romans 1:29-32 Whoever does not hate father, mother cannot be my disciple Luke 14:26, Matt 10:34 12) Freewill Freewill in Christianity is a myth as shown in Romans 9:9-24 where things are predistined and mankind could be punished even for things out of their control. The list does not end here and anyone of the above is sufficient to prove the bible is unreliable. Since we cannot trust the bible on things we can see, all the more reasons we cannot trust the bible on what it says about things we cannot see.
This is Wonderful, a true Metta practice.
thank you for helping me with my meditation.
Very good talk. Sir is very good .
nothing like radiating metta in 5 th jhana to start the day
Yes! Challenging the Abhidhamma! Yes! It's like: what were they thinking? What was Buddhaghosa thinking?
Maybe change title to "SN 46:54" instead of "Sn 46:54" - it might make the title clearer that you are citing the Samyutta Nikaya and not the Suttanipata. :-D
Hello Sir, why Buddha said that 4 foundations of mindfulness is the only and direct path?
Is it okay to wish for materialistic wellness for yourself (and your spiritual friend) when doing Metta such as wealth etc?
of course! only in having confortable place, having enough for good and harmonius life you can go higher spiritualy. Even monks live in great material surroundings. And dont forget that through wealth you can help the world and people... so I dont tkink there is anything wrong with that as long you do no harm to anyone.

can someone please get this guy some cough drops?
The numbers of jhanas has changed by the time, could it be the explanation for this confusion?
The Visuddhi Magga was written by guys who were not even sothapana
