[@krism379]

[@BurksArribaRunningAwareness]

Today's both listening and session will make me a better meditator, a better learner, a better runner, and a better employee!

[@EricKVanHorn]

I really enjoyed this talk. Probably like most people I have not worked much with the four elements, so I found this to be quite enlightening. I especially liked getting the perspective of people from the Buddha's time, and the emphasis on balance. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.

[@JaredHeelis]

I enjoyed the many moments of levity sprinkled upon the deep wisdom. 🤗🙏

Really enjoyed the meditation on the fire element. I never expected that!

My scientist girlfriend says: "with the fire meditation you could also have an internal knowing of the aerobic cell respiration happening in each of your cells, meaning each cell makes like a little fire in a controlled environment when energy is released from our food". The talk was brilliant, thank you 🙏

[@haovan5273]

The Buddha once said the world is literally burning. But not only being burnt by fire, we are also greatly being burnt by Greed, Ill-will and Delusion. That’s what makes the Buddha stand out of today’s world - a materialistic world.

The four great elements (Cetu Maha Bhuta) are the smallest elements that made the smallest undividable group of matter called Suddhattaka (Pure-Eight) inside the smallest matter zone called Rupa-Kalapa. 🙏

Power to the people indeed 💯❤️ My question is what is the difference between pali and Sanskrit, dhama and dharma, why do you shave your head?

[@StreamWinner14]

Sanskrit means refined. So, Sanskrit is refined pali. Dhamma in pali and Dharma in Sanskrit. Monk shave their head to practice renunciation.
