Changing Your Life with Buddhism | The Dhammapada 

💜

I'm getting the habit of meditation, and for the past 3 days, every time I finish my meditation sessions, my mind feels ""boosted", ""hyperconcentraion"", I feel like I received a mental boost, like If I had taken an adderall/concerta pill without even taking a pill. I practice 4 kinds of meditation a couple minutes a day. I try to the practice the four in a row. 1- Sitting still meditation: I simply sit with my eyes closed, and try not to move, move as least as I can(of course your body moves in order to breathe, so you can't stop breathing), and while I focus on trying to not move, it gives me body awareness, and since I can't stop my lungs from doing the involutary movement of breathing , it also makes me notice my breathing. 2- The meditation you mentioned in this video, which is mindfullness of breathing. 3- Focusing on a single point/Trataka meditation: Look at your wall, and focus on a single point of the wall with your eyes as open as possible, trying not to blink for as much time as you can. If you blink, restart again. 4- Counting: Close your eyes, and for a couple minutes, count from 1 to 10 mentally, without speaking, and visualizing the numbers in your head. Do this on loop until the timer runs out. Try to focus only on numbers and counting while doing this, avoid other thoughts.

meditation is beneficial if done carefully and wisely. you have to understand you are working with you mind. and the mind is not a trivial thing. that's most relevant to any deep meditation done apart from surface level or casual meditation.

One step closer to 50 billion. Hope your journey will be a fun one c;

15 billion seems a fair goal! Appreciate what you do, huge thanks. Curious about Mara now... All the best, cheers 👍

15 billion seems plausible. A bit on the low end for sure but still a good goal XD

Meditating is at core of my life philosophy. We suffer because we think we suffer. Meditating makes my life meaningful and able to see the beauty of everyday things. However, having the mindset that everything comes and goe sometimes leaves me with a feeling of emptiness. Like nothing really matters. I love to hear those who object against meditation and buddhism! Anyone? Ps Halo 3

Thank you for this. I love what you do and yes, you should have fifty billion subscribers. I've found some of the ideas in Buddhism really useful for coping with depression and anxiety over the past year or so, particularly meditation. Dr Wendy Suzuki has done some great research into how establishing a meditation practice spreads into other areas of your life, which confirms what you were saying on the subject. I'd love to see more stuff about Buddhism from you, but enjoy discovering new philosophers that you bring to my attention, so just do whatever. I'll watch it anyway. 😁

I'm currently reading a text discussing the historical degradation of Buddhism from its once more "noble" roots, with Pali Buddhism.

I liked your Brazil reference, I see you.

Maybe a series on Nagarjuna?

love your channel !!

how exactly is gaslighting yourself a virtue?
