So... Stopping rebirth wasn't a dogmatic concept of cessation of the reincarnation of soul, but a continual liberation of attachments of the skandha's? That is a new insight for me... I thought the concept of reincarnation was, still, a dogmatic assumption Siddharta believed himself. Or is it both? Thanks for your time and Teaching, Br Phap Hai

from Teri West - Dear Brother, your talks are so very engaging I almost wish you would stop ... 🤗🤗🤗

[@composerdoh]

Thank you Brother. Your point at around 50:00 about "is it the pain/illness (etc- insert your suffering of choice here) that's the problem or our reaction to it?" I completely agree, and know in most cases it's my mind's reaction that's at the very least the worst of my psychological suffering, but.... I looked deeply into pain at one point in my meditation, trying to find WHAT IS IT THAT DOESN'T LIKE THIS??? I looked deep and hard and found nothing- and YET- somehow I KNEW I DIDN'T LIKE IT. It did have some sort of inherent quality that inspired aversion, even though I couldn't place the connection between the sensation- which was clearly just sensation- and the aversion, which I experienced as some sort of inherent, almost hard-wired response of deep levels of the mind which I have no conscious access to. I don't know mine is a useful question to even address, and I don't know if you respond to questions or requests, but I would love to hear your response to it. My teacher's response was... it was a little unclear to me, but basically that there was nothing to find- there is just aversion connected to pain. Perhaps it's just biological... or....???? again, I'm sorry, my point/question is very difficult to articulate and I'm not sure I'm clear, but if you can I'd love to hear your comment.

[@FogelsChannel]

It's ironic you are smiling and joyfilled explaining the First Noble Truth. That Truth is so deeply distressing, so profoundly unnerving that if it's truly understood, a person can become deeply apathetic. It says it's impossible to escape unhappiness, and any choice you make will fail.

Hello friends

[@lazydaisy649]

What’s the nature of reality? My reality is conditioned through my senses and interpreted by my mind. It’s a story I tell myself. My reality is an illusion. I am an illusion. My world is an illusion. (I am happy with that). So, I think I’ll make my world a nice one by ending suffering. How do I end suffering?
