Beautiful explanation about sexual energy as energy of love. 🙌💗

[@Constantinului]

Thank you, dear brothers! Really enjoyed this episode, like all the previous ones. Brother Phap Huu, when saying the guided meditations, can you please leave some silent gaps in between? Like with the sounds of the bell, for us to have time and space to breathe in 3 times and breathe out 3 times. Please consider this 🙏 Thank you.

[@phaphuu]

Best example of sensual pleasure,is a dog bleeding with blood by injury, and get satstisfy by it by eating an unbreakable sharp edge bone.Only right knowledge from experienced master remove the illusion .
