Grateful. Thank you for this practise guidance. I have benefited. May you achieve nibbbana in the shortest period of time.

Thank you, with metta.

So encouraging to witness this dedication to relational dharma taking root in the world. So necessary in these times

Beautiful!! Thank you for recording and sharing these moments.

🥰

This is the best meditation series I've ever sat with.

Thanks for sharing ❤ it’s very insightful

Thank you for sharing this gem of Jack Engler! Here's a quote highlight from the 4-part video series: "What I meant by that epigram 'you have to be somebody before you can be nobody' was you can't spiritually bypass the ordinary developmental and emotional issues in your life. They're not only there, but they need to be part of practice as well-so that everything in your life becomes practice. Not the worldly stuff over here and the spiritual stuff over here. That kind of internal split usually leads to not good spiritual practice and not working through or resolving personal issues ... Buddhism never aimed its critique of the self at the psychological self, as far as I can see. The Buddha and the disciples around him seemed to have very strong psychological selves ... The Buddhist critique was aimed at the ontological self-that there is no thing that one can grasp hold of, no entity, no being." - Jack Engler

In Burma, it has been known for hundreds of years if you have a mental illness and you attempt Meditation you will lose your mind, the Vipasanna Meditation taught by SN Goenka has very strict rules and guidelines about who and who cannot course of Meditation over a 10 day period, and in the application form clearly asked whether you are seeing a mental health or health professional for any reason and if so what type, unfortunately rarely but sometimes people lie on their application forms and don’t admit they have mental health issues because they think that wrongly that Vipasanna will cure their mental illness, but if they do state that they have some mental health problems they are asked to provide a letter from the Health professional clearly stating whether they are capable of completing a very rigourous and demanding 10 day Meditation course, I am a student of Vipasanna and it has helped me enormously. My life is much happier and so much more productive and everyone can get the same benefit providing they have a normal stable type of mind, but sometimes in our life we might need the help of a mental health professional to get us back to a normal state of mind then it’s the right time if one has inclination to take a 10 day residential Vipasanna retreat

Thanks!

thank you!

What a gift JG is to the world.

Thanks

Thank you.

What a relief! Not colored by sensual desire Not boiling with anger Not choked with the algae of sloth and torpor Not blown about by restlessness and worry Not muddied with doubt Like having settled a debt Having recovered from disease Having been released from prison or slavery Having come to the end of a dangerous journey And we rejoice!

May the merits of this sayings resonate towards the 10 directions. Nibbāna, Nibbāna, Nibbāna. For the honor and merit of Bhikkhu Anālayo, and all the 3 times masters of the ultimate Dhamma

Sounds good!🙂🙏

I can’t find anywhere in Pali canon where Buddha says “ there is no self” he says you can’t find one or a permanent one, he said all phenomena is selfless , but that is different then saying there is no self. If nothing is there how can you negate it?

Thats a very helpful lesson, with a great habit for a mindful smartphone use. Thank you! Some feedback: It would have been even more pleasant to watch if the video had not been recorded using a potato. Thats for newer videos as well: Some videos are hard to watch, it feels more like listening to a podcast. Maybe there is a way to upload these vids in higher quality in the future? Thanks!

Thank you. I have followed all these instructions in the series and found them immensely helpful as a companion to my reading of Bhikku Analayo's Satipatthana - The Direct Path to Realisation.

Yes, yes yes, Great Gratitude❤

Thank you for this insightful video! I’m grateful for the deeper understanding of how our physical space can support and enhance meditation practice. It’s so important to create an environment that feels safe and nurturing, and this video really helped me see how that impacts my mindfulness journey.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Serri. In spirit she is with you. 🙏🧚🐾

Thank you for slowly prying open (reopening) the early human connection to all things. Being all things.

Thanks for reviewing the Holding Environment again. So important!

Very much worth knowing about and learning about.

I hope these precious souls know that they're having a positive impact on us out here in layville :)

Wonderful 😊

Gratitude to Jesse Maceo Vega-Frey and Michele McDonald for their teachings that inspired this talk 🙏

In one of satipatthana meditations Bhikku leds that there is nothing sexual about body and I must say, even though I am 36 years old, for the first time I am sitting in my home naked and I am comfortable with my body. It's just body, nothing sexual about it, nothing to be ashamed of, or its not an object, or tool for pleasures. It feels like a little kid who doesn't mind if is naked, or dressed up. Its very freeing. ❤

Sadhu sadhu sadhu❤

❤❤❤

Joseph is an absolute treasure. I gain so much by listening to him.

🤍

abide in metta.....be metta...DO YOU WANT CASH BACK ON YOUR HOUSE????

That was a bobby dazzler of a series. Thanks.

❤❤

May compassion, patience, and wisdom, win over Love, hate, and the greed for god money.

Nice and sweet. It seems that West people has biggest problem with desires and lust. ( East people seems to have biggest problem with anger ) . Maybe it can be more clear for audience to hear hinayana , mahayana and vajrayana approach to desires and lust ? Also results of lust like cheating and adultery which are breaking people hearts and lives can be overviewed. All best .🧡
