I hope Ben sees this. I honestly wanna say a huge thank you words can not describe how happy you make me feel. 2021 hasn’t been that good for me so far and just watching your videos made my year. I have never been more happy to block out the hate in this world and enter my own world for 15 mins and 50 seconds thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope your safe and well. ❤️❤️❤️

Dear Ben, very nicely done. Am impressed. Just came back from the BSR yesterday, After the 7 weeks stay there in rehab, I am back there for half a month each month. Love it there , and I want to give you a complement! You did a very good job. Hope to meet up again in the future. All the best, Theo

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,572 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@Akash-wm4qy]

Finally the Bali videos are coming out! Keep up the great work bro!🙌🏽

You are one of the only youtubers I'm subscribed to who keeps making quality content year after year, and only getting better and improving themselves. Great that you are staying you and not following the crowd. So underrated, I wish you a lot of succes in 2021!!

dude. the happiness over the hat was it for me

[@TheYugoKiller]

Great Video, when I heard about the idea of a silent retreat, I immediately found it horrific, boring and when I started watching this video, I suddenly became stressed from watching. I just thought about the fact that the whole thing is maybe too chill, and that ur wasting ur time, and there are so many things to do, but the think is u don't always have smth to do, that was when I realized that I never really chilled in my entire life, even when im chilling im somehow stressed, Im suddenly interrupted by thoughts or in the back of my brain im thinking about how I ''waste'' my time. That their is always something to do, forever, even if u finished something. That there will be an appointment in 2 weeks or that you got to ´´have´´an daily routine . Your maybe relaxin, but not chilling, our brain always works, even if we do nothing. For me it felt like, Its a western and modern thing to always watch for the time, the idea and construct of dates. Now im really lookin forward to also do an silent retreat in the future. Its the first video I saw from you, and I immediately subscribed to u.

[@starrystellaaa17]

Wow, thanks for the video! I’ve been there couple of times and I have to say that it was one of the best times I ever had. Went there after I broke up from a very long relationship and yes the place is a gem! It makes me forget and let go of things I shouldn’t hold on to. And thanks for the video again, it definitely feels like you brought me back to the place again. Love it, subscribed. 🤍

[@bernardwangg]

thanks for sharing! Its nice that u have your gopro with you so you could still film without your phone. I plan to do this meditation retreat soon for my first bali trip in future :D

[@Jonathan-Hunt]

I really do wish I could do something like this. I need to deal with stress and this seems like a great way to do that. But this seems like an incredible experience. Happy you got to experience it.

Krish I believe Chapo Montana2 meant that you do not have to be a Hindu to practice meditation, not that Hinduism and meditation are not the same. As far as I am aware, you can have meditation without Hinduism, but you cannot have Hinduism without meditation
