I've been doing Vipassana and Mindfulness of breathing for a long time now. I have tried that relaxed step in the teachings that Vimalaramsi is talking about...My meditation is much more effective. Awareness is clearer. I appreciate his talks on this. Thank you.
It is curious that in the few years I've been studying Buddhism and followed many sutta talks from other teachers like Ajahn Brahm, Brahmali, and Nissarano, I have rarely found many expounding the Satipatthana and yet I have seen this done by Vimalaramsi more than once! I am delighted. Coming across with you and your different way of teaching the suttas (eg., the 6Rs) has been one of the greatest gifts for me this year. I've been following your channel and talks for some months now. :) This is the last sutta talk video I get to see this year, and it is a special one. Thank you for sharing and I wish everyone health and peace. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu from Argentina.
This is quite helpful, especially since Bhante V goes into more detail about the Visuddhimagga. It is amazing that there are some teachers who actually also claim that while Abhidhamma and Visuddhimagga are not the word of the Buddha, they still continue to teach absorption meditation with nimittas arising, and so forth. That this continues is really dishonest on their part. I think everyone who has heard it will know who is teaching this. The power of their eloquence is what keeps them going, not the truth of their words. I am glad that there is a monk like Bhante V who can finally teach what is true and help to clear up this mess.
Venerable. Through my personal experience, in Vipassana meditation, as we observe sensations arise & abide, now with clear Awareness and the wisdom of Aniccha, dukkha and Anaata ( this pure awareness with wisdom also naturally, organically leads to me being relaxed, without having to consciously DO ANY RELEASE OR RELAX STEP) as we remain Equanimous, not reacting with craving or aversion, as these slowly pass away. So, Vipassana "OFCOURSE helps in stopping Craving" & resultant collapse of the rest of the links of Dependent Origination. Could you please elaborate as why bhante is saying otherwise? We ofcourse start and end our meditation with metta. This practice has transformed me tremendously over the years by reducing craving and hence suffering; there is much joy, peace and contentment, compassion 🙏 p.s. i came across the 6Rs and Bhante's videos only in the last couple of months
Please tell me, I need a light feeling radiating from a friend in my chest and head, but what if at the beginning it seems pleasant, and then it ceases to be like real, this feeling eventually becomes like a fake if you continue, other pleasant friends could help, but the essence to be with only one, what to do?
Ven bhante.... relaxing what exactly seeing arising n passing away of sankhara..( 5 khandas) with the understanding of anicca dukh anatta...bhuddhas last ward ...sabbe sankhara anicca appmaden sampadet...
@@theunmanifested Tranquilize the Bodily formation in the Satipatthana Sutta. AND in the Anapanasati Sutta it says to Tranquilize the Mental Formations! Thoughts! Relax the tension and tightness that causes the mind to move away from its object.
When exactly I have to tranquilize my body by breathing in and out? While I m with my meditation objekt ( e.g. Anapana or Metta) ? Do I have to obey it during I m observing my breath? Means two things same time? Or when I do the relaxe step? thanks in advance!!! -:)
Dietmar- Simply relax your body and especially your mind at the end of each in and out breath. At that point is where the mind will start to wander and the relax step stops that process and you continue to just "know" that that you are there with the breath. It is just being in the present moment with a contented heart. Relaxing. And you will go deeper and deeper... We have many study materials at our site dhammasukha.org
U should’ve put the microphone close to bhante , not close to the listeners , because when I was listening with earphones all of a sudden a listener coughed and the coughing sound was so louuuud.

Diego- we wish you much metta for the next year and encourage you to try this meditation for yourself as soon as you can!
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Bhante.
Much metta to you and your entire team.
Thank you - when I found you I knew I was not alone

This was actually a pretty poor explanation. Vilamaramsi has nothing on Bhikkhu bodhi. I doubt Vimalaramsi knows Pali.
Thank u very much bhante ...satipatthanas with relaxing
.....Great experience....sadhu sadhu.. sadhu..
Respect for the Teacher. I will put into practice. Thank you very much.
Very good talk.
Sadhu!

i mostly agreed with bhante. however, i couldn't catch what the last sentence in the sutta about relax that people have frequently missed. thank you.

Yes - We now have Lapel Mics on Bhante but back then it was early days in recording Bhante's talks- Sorry!
