Video

Fascinating, thank you for sharing!

Mostly utter nonsense

Thank you for your teching. About conteplating to full absorption and feeling being imersed with the conteplation topic - is there a video on how that can be done/achieved? You mention often in materials to approach this way but so far I haven't found how to actually do that 😅

Wonderful video. Thank you so much for this!

Thank you for that short teaching! Can you or someone tell me where on your website I can find that information about the '-to's? I can only find one table in 'Resources and Tables'. It would be great if you could add the information in the description where in the Pali text the teachings you make reference to in your videos can be found.

What would be the difference between this and what in yoga is called trataka?

Sadhu sadhu sadhu

Thank you for this beautiful video

I have attained the first jhana, you need to do a lot of merit which helps concentrate the mind, practice the precepts, be celibate, if you live an active sexual life, will be impossible, when you enter first jhana you notice it as an overwhelming joy that feels as a great smile in the face, so great smile that if someone sees you will think you are mad, so do it in solitary, then you just focus on the feeling of one pointedness. But prior to this upacara samadhi needs to be achieved, which is a calm state of the mind and onepointedness. The 8 precepts are a good day to do it, i usually attained it in 8 precepts day. Avoid bad toughts of cruelty, hate, disrespect, or lust. This will destroy the possibility of reaching it. Just use metta. When you reach the jhana and you feel is fading then just use pañña or thinking to contemplate the key concepts, or even anicca dukka anatta. You can contemplate whatever topic in buddhism and solve any problem, while doing the jhana.

I just discovered your channel. Fascinating material. I'm starting at your "getting started in meditation" playlist this evening.

Thank you Beth, this is wonderful! ❤

Couldn't immediately find on website so found this, which, of course, I can't at this time vouch for the accuracy nor are they as adjectives nor if this is even what's refered to: Transitory - Anicca Ephemeral - Anaddhānika Fleeting - Lahuka Mutable - Vipariṇāmin Unstable - Adhuva Temporary - Anicca Inconstant - Calana Changeable - Pariṇāmī Evanescent - Vilaya Decaying - Khaya Perishable - Bhijana Momentary - Khaṇika Shifting - Calita Transforming - Pariṇāma

Terrific presentation. Thank you.

This seems potentially very useful. Seeking literary references.

one on one is not working, I cant book anything

Sadhu sadhu sadhu❤

"What really exists independently of any perceiver ..." "When we are practicing Vipassana we ARE PAYING ATTENTION to this ultimate reality" ... Your videos are very good but, I'm sorry, for me some parts are difficult to accept... I think you should give a good Vipassana look to what is implied in the phrases... things exist only with the preceiver and vice versa, how can you talk about a thing that exists independently when you are perceiveing it?... in vipassana you are experiencing impermanence and nonself, precisely, solving this separation elusion... can we pay attention to ultimate reality, or to things as they manifest and their aspects, as they are in that manifestation and evolution, ultimate reality is not a thing independent that we can look, or is it... when ultimate reality manifest...

Such a good teacher

Thank you for your calm voice/disposition. 😌♥️✨🇨🇦

Excellent analogies about disenchantment. Thanks!🙏

Meditation is impermanence also but no disenchantment with the practice of it ?!. Thankyou for this explanation , i had wondered about this 🙂..

Hi Beth, is your one on one offered with good will just as Buddha's dhamma was and many monastery offer free? Are you in such position to offer such help to guide suitable techniques?

Thank you Bindhu 🙏🕉️

Thank you so much! 🙏❤️

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Can i ask why we have to sit and be still to " meditate " ? .Where does it state this ?

Over all, I apreciate your clarity, bringme confidence that the libertetion is in all sientent being range.

Do you teach meditation online ?

Being a Sri Lankan and Buddhist I must say our monks don't preach these deeper concepts to the masses. Keep it up 4

Thanks Beth for your teachings. I rarely see a thought coming up. I usually realize after I am caught up in a thought chain. This happens after every 3-6 breaths. The thoughts are usually about what happened in day (or last 1-2 days). I'm recollecting the incident or situation and replaying and / or interacting with it. How to deal with these thoughts? I have been meditating for several years but not able to overcome these

That’s so interesting… I like the analogy of the Cow wandering to the greener fields. I wonder the benefit to exiting a jhana. I understand for it to be at will…but why exit? I guess that gives more ability to move to greater jhanas, and possible helps Vipassana? Got any insight to why one would exit the attainment?
