Ep13: Mind Illuminated - Culadasa

[@nicksyoutubeaccount]

R.I.P. Culadasa. I continue to learn from him. 🙏

[@Bandoolero]

you asked the most intriguing questions, thank you for properly interviewing him!

[@GuruViking]

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the interview :-)

[@Rover08]

Best account by John is his going to a Mahasi retreat and being immersed in the bliss and joy of his training and being told to note it away.

[@Alejandro388]

thank you, definitely my fav. YT-interviews of these few masters

[@GuruViking]

You're welcome, I'm glad you're enjoying them!

[@UpdevelopmentOrg]

Excellent interview, thank you!

[@GuruViking]

You're welcome! I'm pleased you enjoyed it :-)

[@jamestatham1510]

I really love these interviews, especially the Daniel Ingram one. Hats off to you, it takes two to tango ... you've done your research which makes for much more illuminating interviews.

[@GuruViking]

Thanks James, I agree that it can be frustrating (and repetitive) when it's clear the interviewer hasn't really researched the guest. Glad you're enjoying these!

[@jamestatham1510]

@@GuruViking I'm excited to see who you have on in the future. Would love to see the likes of Shinzen Young, Michael Taft & Kenneth Folk make an appearance, I think they'd make for some interesting conversations. All the best:)

[@GuruViking]

​@@jamestatham1510 Great suggestions! Already working on 1 of these 3 but will look into the others. :-)

@@GuruViking will you do a video about your own practice? You seem to have some level of awakening at least 2nd path. I'm curious how you got there and if you also do coaching

[@GuruViking]

@@VeritableVagabond In addition to the interviews I do occasionally post videos from my POV - is there anything specific you'd like me to talk about? Also, I'm curious, what give you the impression of 'at least 2nd path'? Thanks for commenting! S

[@Buddhist.Teachings]

Thanks for your interviews. This one with Culadasa is as great as all of your other interviews. I appreciate that you speak to people with a huge variety of background. Some people I got introduced to by your interviews.

[@peppope827]

He did not finish the book he was talking about in the last part, Did he?

[@twinsrule8]

Hi GuruViking, was this interview before or after the 'cancelling' of Culadasa by the board ? Looks like he hasn't finished his work wrt Arahatship (let alone streamentry) iff he was unfaithful to his wife....

[@stevenpaulniles]

Even if he was unfaithful, he could still be deeply realized. Moral conventions have nothing to do with insight into impermanence, emptiness, self, and suffering. He may have had his reasons for behaving in ways you don't approve of. But that says nothing about his enlightenment.

[@ThomasNytrup]

Excellent and clarifying interview - thank you both!

[@daoscience9476]

You make good interviews

[@GuruViking]

Thanks Markus!
