Thank you, Bhante! 🙏🙏🙏

Look at how peaceful John Wick was. But I guess these Mafia guys are worse than Mara

Thank you for posting these wonderful talks. Do you know where I might access the list of resolutions that Bhikkhu Bodhi mentions around the 23:55 mark?

May I ask why do you think Christ and Budda are compatible

Well done everyone

No doubt Mara was defeated, we have much hotter stuff on Instagram these days than what Mara conjured up for lust. Lol

Read sutra cover to cover? Which sutra?

🙏🙏🙏

Curious .... Why is there a white blond kid in the scene ??? 😅

Buddha is just enlightened but not the light itself... All these sufferings happening in this World... All are for oen reason only... All those enlightened souls are struggling to become Gods now... But there is no use... Everything comes from a beginning... How much they try or not try this is the end... Going back and back and back where it shall end... Nothing but just emptiness... Maximum effort they can aliens but not Humans... They are threat to their community and family... They can go and play with - and + but atlast they do not have any option then surrender to the God Himself... The question is will surrender or commit mistakes by reborn and destroying lives... Nothing can be changed... Youre suffering now scared of one and another.... The reason is these enlightened souls... This goes for any enlightened soul ... Let it be any Religion... They all again and again will suffer... The question for the enlightened souls do you want become an alien and kill Humans???? Praying to enlightened souls or their cults will never fetch anything but only a very slowest and total chaos death... It will start Kali yugam... Marvel Fans again goes to where Captain Marvel, the White Light... Back to God... Is this the suffering you all need??? Do Marriage and live and look after everything, every being, enough of the chaos

The lord Buddha didn't encourage removing body parts to reduce craving. But awareness is ignorable to let go.

Honored Bhante, it is with the utmost reverence for your exemplary understanding of the Noble Truths and your unwavering devotion to the practice that I humbly present a few observations. Your precise grasp of the Buddha’s Path, your disciplined adherence to Vinaya, and your clarity in presenting the profound truths of liberation are indeed remarkable. They serve as an inspiring model for those fortunate enough to engage with your work. If I may, I wish to thoughtfully suggest three points for consideration, conveyed in a sense of mutual exploration and collective growth: 1. Further nurturing mettā (loving-kindness) Your sharp discernment and penetrating insight are qualities to be greatly admired. Yet, the intentional cultivation of mettā, the boundless benevolence, might serve to harmonize and complement these strengths. Such cultivation has the capacity to mitigate any traces of rigidity in perception and foster a more inclusive openness of heart. Over time, mettā not only enriches one’s engagements but also anchors the mind in a pervasive sense of calm and receptivity, conducive to both practice and engagement. 2. Highlighting awareness as a pathway to letting go The directness with which you address the essential task of relinquishment is a powerful skill. However, there may be value in further emphasizing the preparatory process, bringing awareness to the conditions of attachment, examining their arising, and discerning their nature before arriving at their cessation. This stepwise approach aligns closely with the Buddha’s gradual path, wherein the mind is gently led to see clearly and thus relinquishes clinging not through force but through wisdom and understanding. Such an unfolding lends itself to an enduring steadiness of insight. 3. Cultivating resilience through worldly engagement Although solitude (viveka) provides a foundation for clarity and concentration, it is through involvement with the world that the mind’s stability becomes more unshakable. In such exchanges, defilements like pride, attachment, and aversion naturally arise, offering invaluable opportunities for cultivating resilience, discernment, and deeper insight. The samādhi developed amidst these worldly challenges often proves more enduring than that attained in isolation, as it is not reliant on the absence of disturbances. By skillfully navigating the complexities of worldly activities, rather than avoiding them completely, one aligns with the Buddha’s Middle Path which is integrating both retreat and engagement to cultivate the wisdom and fortitude essential for the ultimate liberation. I provide these observations with the greatest humility, fully acknowledging the depth of your wisdom and the extraordinary perseverance you bring to this endeavor. May these thoughts serve only as a humble encouragement in furthering the already insightful and skillful approach you embody.

Mara as the mental projection of Siddharta's mom and dad: every parent wants their child to be as foolish as they themselves were, if not more foolish. i.e: Mara wants him to be tempted with wife and offspring etc. to continue the blood lineage.

Your parents as the sun and the moon is quite the metaphor! Sadhu!

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, Venerables. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.

Thank you, Bhante. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.

Thanks Bhante, Good to know that metta prevents aversion, though temporarily, also please talk about karaniya metta sutta

Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu!!!

So beautiful, Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu🙏🙏🙏

What an amazing and inspiring talk! Listening to the discourse in Pali was so lovely. I hope to hear more talks by you. Thank you so much!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you Ayya. Can you tell me about the word you use sometimes to describe the way we become a self by attaching to views, perceptions and things: I don’t know the spelling but phonetically: Ray-ify I tried to look up the word but couldn’t find it. Thank you.

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, Ayya. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.

Thank you, Ayya. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.

In a Buddhist group on FB, whenever I bring up the Suttas and what we are taught in this tradition we practice, grown men start abusing me and are intimidated.
