except he's not enlightened in the Buddhist sense at all... without any ill will that i'm saying this, no arhat is liable to passion, aversion and delusion while daniel ingram experiences anger, engage in sexual intercourse, proud (conceit) of having a 'dr.' title from completing his phd and sells the 'dhamma' for money. he can claim to have experienced profound meditative states and so on which exist before the Buddha but in no way can his being be considered a Buddhist enlightenment, and not even a sotapanna (first stage of four) since according to the suttas he would have 'wrong view'
I read Daniel's book. All I have to do to test his claims is just to meditate to test his claims. Hell maybe one day I'll even become an arhat. 😈 That would be the ultimate test.
It's certainly interesting to see how everyone defines enlightenment differently. I often ask my friends if they think that "enlightenment" is real or a myth. We tend to spend the next few hours discussing what enlightenment actually is. Depending on how we define it will influence the answer to the original question posed. As we have technology, we seem to struggle to find enlightened people. Some argue that technology is making the journey harder. Others argue that enlightened people of the past were not as special as we think they were, but they were not "caught being normal" on camera. I'm not sure. My definition of enlightenment would be that we still experience feelings and desires but we are able to regulate our actions and views through practice. I'm not convinced that there are enlightened people who don't experience anger. All the gurus I've spoken with say they experience it but it doesn't consume them. As for your comments on pride for having the title, "Dr.", this I have no comment. I'm new to Daniel Ingram and I'm playing catch up. I also read my texts in Thai, which while I would argue is closer to Pali and Sanskrit, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's more accurate or that my interpretation is more/less accurate.
There might be some nuances. Experiencing unpleasant sensations without aversion, knowing and feeling how all (hindrances or sambojjhanga or whatever) are vibrations of the mind. Being close with someone without passion. ...
It won't concern you anymore at advanced levels of realization. I still experience these things but if this isn't Buddhist enlightenment that's great news because it's already getting very amazing 14years in.

I have watched this clip so many times, it has to be one of the most valuable 10 minutes and 20 seconds on RUclips.
Hey Rob, thank you sooo much. What, specifically, resonated for you?
I really look forward to you guys doing a video where Daniel goes through all the insight stages step by step starting from movement of abdomen
I'm sure there is a video out there where Daniel covers the stages. Any luck finding one?
@@HOMIEandTheDUDE nope none and that’s the funny thing. That’s his main teaching and there are no videos on it !
@@lioninvesting4676 Have you visited Daniel's webpage www.integrateddaniel.info/. There is some good info there.
Thanx, useful since it gives an idea of how to deal with certain situations.
Daniel looking like a literal golden Buddha statue in this one.
Always appreciate his transparency and loving his book! Thanks for this excerpt.
daniels smile is so authentic
What a great way to explain it - thanks for sharing

Better quality lights. 🤡😁👁️😎
Enlightenment is a joke, the punch line is a killer.
Interesting opinion. Subscribe to see more !!!!!!!!
It’s like you don’t see through it anymore .. it’s lateral.. not on top of you.. it’s not heavy
What exactly are you describing?

Also
I just watched it again since it had been awhile and I can say these “superpowers” ?
It’s real
I can’t tell you how much is exaggerated or where the boundaries or if they exist
It’s all subconscious limiting
We are amazing and so much more than we allow ourselves to be
I always find usefulness in what Daniel says.
We will be doing another podcast with him soon subscribe and hit the bell icon to get notified when !!!
My experience is similar to Daniel the central experiencing brain just fell off
Which bit are you referring to?
The default mode network.
Right… I can get angry but I have to actually put effort in
Thank you
Why has someone painted Daniel gold?!
thank you Daniel, Homie and the Dude for reducing my suffering - some of us only have the internet as a sangha/teacher
You have much better choices than this, even on the internet.

noticing the room around you doesn't make you enlightened. These false gurus need to humble themselves.
Thanks for the comment. Just curious, in your opinion, what, specifically, makes you enlightened?
selflessness
You completely missed the point of it
