Such a great speaker...taking concepts and experiences that are often difficult to articulate, and turning them into meaningful and useful reflections. Looking forward to reading your book!
One of the better interviews I've seen with Mr. Ingram;) He's a talker so can elaborate in interesting ways on whatever subject's put in front of him, so credit has to be given to the insightful questions. Would also be great to see even more of a back and forth conversations as well, as when that occurred here and in other conversations/interviews I've seen it naturally enhances and builds. Well done~ appreciate the effort and offerings on the channel!
Thanks for the feedback!
wooow, that explanation of being in the room or holding the room and your body sensations as frame is good stuff bro
Thanks for sharing! that was very pleasant
Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks so easy when he described the cycle!
Haha you were our camping neighbor at a certain castle festival. Had I known you're this deep into meditation and a fellow Daniel Ingram fan, I'd have chatted much longer. Great interview.
Haha! Nice!
The way to attainment is vipasanna.
The mental purifications that really calm the mind and remove the kelisa.
How i realise nibanna through vipasanna?
(Greed,hatred,delusions)are momentarily removed in that moment.
Sotapanna attainment how it occur and the sequence you will experience.....
It starts with vipasanna sitting meditation then until mind shuts down.Before it shuts down,you are clearly comprehending the inbreath watching the beginning,the middle and the end of the breath.
Ceesation of conciousness occur during this moment. The mind suddenly shuts down.
Ceesation of conciousness is similar to mind shuts down:
When this happen,you will not know.(it is because your mind has now stop fabricating just like a factory stop production all machine are switch off and no one working)
That moment of not knowing is the moment you enter magga(path)and phala(fruition)where you are no more existing in this ignorance existence of samsara.
After the magga phala attainment is over you will be in strong samadhi adsobtion where your whole body are radiance with strong pleasurable sensations.(jhana adsobtion)
At that moment you still do not know you have attain magga phala.(only pleasurable sensation overwhelming the mind)
As these strong samadhi adsobtion gradually subside,you will now be able to aware of the calmness of mind and body sitting in erect and firm(in lower samadhi)
At this moment you can easily aware of your breath as it rise on inbreath and as it fall on outbreath.
It is easily notice without effort.
It was during this time you will suddenly remember or recollect the mind ceesation or shuts down clearly.
You remember it very clearly before it shuts down, your were clearly comprehending inbreath rising,middle and end of breath and suddenly everything vanished,no more conciousness,mind shuts down.
Then you realise whole body immersed with strong pleasurable sensations and when the sensation is over you can realise your mind is peaceful ,happy and mindfulness on inbreath and outbreath is easy and that your sitting meditation posture is straight and erect or is very firm(In samadhi state)
In this way you now come to realise that you have finally come to know how suffering ends.
Nibanna is being realise by your pure mind.
Mind that is non greed,non hatred,non delusions.
You are now a stream entry or is now a confirmed Ariya or sotapanna.You are free from 4 woeful realms of existence and you only have 7 more existence one as human and another 6 life as devas.
If you are hard working and if you continue practice your vipasanna meditation and come to ceesations of conciousness for the second times,your next attainment is Sakadagami and you only have 3 more existence.And if the third time ceesation you are Anagami and the 4th time you are Arahat and will be fully aware of everything and totally free from ignorance completely and never to be born again.
May my explaination be enlightening to vipasanna meditators and what is being explain are the final knowledge you will experience when your time for attainment is ripe.
Suki hotu.

Yay thanks to mental noting I became a sotapanna.
Nice. How long have you been practicing and how did it go ?
Well I discovered mental noting atleast 20 years ago but I have been start stop type practising not practising for a while then jumping between breath meditation and mental noting. I would say it’s been continuous 3 months work that did it. The baseline state is the key. The centre point that seems to have been controller experiencer is not there anymore. Honestly it was never there but there was that illusory centre
Great interview! I have seen a ton of Daniel's interviews are they are all awesome, always filled with great advice! Thanks for sharing this video with us :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you.
I get it that hardcore Buddhism is a hardcore system of mind training.....but who is doing the training? Who is the executive decision maker who is navigating mind states? This is not just a theoretical question but an on the ground practical question. Also, Dark Night of the Soul is (or course) a metaphor, not literally real. It is not literally dark, it is not literally a night, nor is there is a soul in Buddhism. But it's a good metaphor.
Great question - what do you think ?
48:06-49:25 hit hard
Always think of Harry Potter with the wispy thoughts.
I disagree with Daniel about Buddhism not curing alpha behaviours, I had met some of the great meditation masters who doesn’t care about cult or alpha behaviours and quite developed and humble. Those are usually not people who cares about being famous or having followers. Unfortunately most of them are not in the public sphere to be compared with those who are out in public promoting themselves. Daniel draws his conclusions from meeting people who are leaders of groups who cares about power and haven’t fully developed in a balanced way.
I understood that he meant "won't always cure", not "won't ever cure"
It's made me much more 'alpha' over the course of 12 solid years of practice, as dumb of a statement that is, so it's definitely dependent on the person. One thing I learned with my most intense arising and passing phase is I could either develop a more saintly personality or a very strong worldly personality that is definitely more prone to neurosis. There is a lot of power in the spiritual path so to say it will only make you humble is silly.
How can one accelerate their practice the most at home ?
If I remember correctly, the 3 accelerators that Shinzen Young talks about are: 1. his online retreat program if you cannot go to retreats, 2. longer sits and 3. "trigger practice" (pay attention or even try to look for things that trigger you remaining equanimous)
and keep in mind its not something you think about
@Antonio Egea thanks for the reminder. I remember him saying this and I forgot. Have you done practice acceleration recently or in the past? And if so...in what form and what are the results ?
This reminds me of Anālayo's attack on Daniel in Mindfulness Magazine. Hard to believe the in-fighting in spiritual practice.
