Thank you Venerable and thanks to all of those helping you make these videos possible. I have been watching your videos for some time and I find them very meaningful and helpful. I really appreciate you doing lectures on meditation as this is an area of much misunderstanding.
Thank you so... much for the talk Venerable because of of that is why I am who I am today you have changed me I never can forget a master like you, I been sharing what I learned from you and from the Buddha teachings to others that need.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dear Venerable Cheng, I have been away from your channel for a couple of years. With all that's going on in the USA, the elections, COVID, riots, etc., I was pretty angry all the time. I need to listen to you again and to find the peace that I once had from your teaching. So much hatred going on and I need to get rid of it! A Di Da Phat (Namo Amituofo) 🙏
Thank you Venerable. I have listened this video a few times. It has becomes more clearer each time. It’s such a well thought out and detail explanation of the fundamental of Buddhism and the right way of doing meditation. With your guidance I am now very sure of succeeding in letting go all my 3 poisons of my body, speech and mind.🙏❤️May BUDDHA bless you with the pink of health always and a long long life. Namo Amitabha 🙏
Thank you very much Ven Guan Cheng. I've been listening to a lot of your dharma talks to deepen my understanding in the dharma and it really helps me in my cultivation and practice. Sadhu sadhu sadhu
Thank you Venerable Guan Cheng Shifu for this lecture on meditation. I’m so grateful for finding your channel on RUclips. They have help me so profoundly…Namo Amituofo 🙏🙏🙏
Woah..... Thank you Ven. Guan Cheng, so glad I stumbled onto this video. Never heard of you, but listening to you felt so right, and your voice is pleasant and easy to listen to. What an unexpected pleasant much needed gift. So much love and gratitude for your efforts. Peace

On the subject of reincarnation samsara. Does it mean all those refugees, suffering because of persection or natural disaster were all repaying a karma ?
Depression has many causes. If the cause of depression are biological problems, meditation will not help. You can't heal most biological problems by meditation. It's not that easy.
Nobody said not to get medical help when needed. There is evidence in medical research that indicates meditation is helpful. Nobody is making any snake oil claims guaranteeing cures for anything.
@@adammobile7149 I don't think he said it was a cure for all disease. Our best doctors and hospitals can't come close to doing that either, but that does not mean I shouldn't believe in doctors either.
Why not use your money to help the sentient beings and the planet we are on? If you make it better for everyone around you, you have also made it better for yourself.
My statement was meant as an alternate use of the money you are willing to gamble on the existence of reincarnation since the argument is at a stalemate at this point in time using only what you are calling clear evidence. I can not prove it any more than you can disprove it with what you are calling clear evidence. Our senses (eyesight, hearing, taste, smell, touch) are very limited to what our bodies needed to survive a few years on this planet. Many discoveries in science came from inductive reasoning beyond what we could see before we could find a way to prove them with "clear evidence." The gravitational lens is one example. Likewise 70 years ago, I couldn't have offered you any clear evidence that quarks existed, but they did and they do. Since we can't prove or disprove reincarnation with what you call clear evidence, I will leave it up to you to do your own investigating and use your inductive reasoning to form your own conclusions (and I will respect you and your conclusions). As Albert Einstein said, “The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.” Thanks for the discussion. I wish you the best.
I don't like this talks about 'ego is something wrong'. Sorry my friend but "there is not collective stomach". If you eat and I don't, I'll die, not you.
Your body and mine are both going to die. They way you think when that moment comes might be different than the way you are thinking about it now. In the meantime, why not get rid of the suffering the ego causes?
@@brucewilbur2586 from one perspective our ego feeling is necessary to survive. If you are hungry you should eat. But of course on ultimate level our conscusness may be independent from our body. But nobody have evidence for it.

Does sleep considering as meditation? We don’t hear, don’t see, don’t smell… anything.

Sounds like you've got it all figured out.
Good luck.

@@brucewilbur2586 ok, but this guy on video talked about it as if meditation was a medicine for all desese. Should emphasize more that it is not.
