Sadhu, Thank you for sharing Bhante. Wish you good health.

I got so excited when I saw the cat as I was listening to this in my car. I find it interesting that we use similar communication methods for resolving conflict at the major tech company I work for. Well, we're supposed to, anyway. 😆 It's always great to hear a voice of calm reason in the vast sea of anicca. Thank you for what you do Bhante! I don't have easy access to a temple and have so little time to travel after work to meet with the monks and talk about one of my favorite subjects, Buddhism.

Your talks help I have no intention to ordain The knowledge is extremely valuable

Love The Cat ❤😻.

Thank you as always Bhante

bhante i enjoy the background and the gentle sound of rain, but wonder why the focus is so bouncy? glad to see you well and all the best 🙏

Thank you so much, venerable teacher! I would like to ask a question, but I apologize if it has already been asked before. How should we leave deep meditation properly? I left meditation once and my ears started to ring, I also lost balance and had to lay down for a few minutes. It wasn't anything health threatening, but I feel like it damaged my confidence a little bit. Thank you so much for all your teachings and efforts!

Thank you Bhante.Unfortunately it seems all of us have to go through that hamster wheel.Not always out of greed but to support our families ETC.Sometimes that sweet ol boss still kicks us even if we say Thank you for letting me know. How does one run the hamster wheel safely. There are the right thinking actions, honesty, charity, castisy and so on. But I found though just mental self will trying to erode stinking thinking it was impossible. Once I added meditation though it gave me a scale. Like a scale to weigh things. Rather than a knee jerk reaction I was able to pause and weigh the situation. To be sure life is very hard at least for me it has been but the tools plus mediation will get you through the times when it seems every arrow is flying towards you. As for a bull in a China shop I relate to that too because almost everything ive done I had know idea how to do it at first. Sometimes I gently walked around stuff and sometimes I crashed through that wall. But I had that inner ( I dont know what) Peace? that made things a little easier. This stuff does really work.

How long have you been a monk? 🙏☸️

8:08 perhaps it is what killed him. perhaps performing an act of grace for your murderer is a way to reach parinirvana

•The 3 marks of existence Everything is suffering, impermanence, and non self,, •Suffering - all living beings suffer in different ways, mental and physical suffering, mental suffering like stress, depression, worry, etc. and physical suffering like disease, skin or organs problems, wounds, etc... •Impermanence - nothing last forever except change, everything or everyone will die or will change, like people, house, plants, possession, gadgets, perspective etc... •No self - everything is made out of 4 elements, fire water earth air, example is the house, how to build a house? Need stone blocks, how to create stone blocks? Need some earth or dirt, combined with water, then shaping to blocks after that need heat to be cooked and steady then need air to make the blocks dry and finish product, and humans and other living beings too are created by the 4 elements, People have heat in their body to not get cold, and water like blood, and air to breath, and earth is the physical form of humans and other organisms (living beings), Humans are just like cars, humans have organs, 6 senses, hormones, chemical reactions to the brain and the nature of mind, nature of the mind is greedy for sensual pleasure to the 5 senses, and car have engine, wheels, fuel, lights, windows, etc.. That's why humans are just like animals, humanity just invented sense of self, the sense of "me" "mine" "I'm this" "I'm that" but in reality all living beings are just an organism in the environment, So everything are just organism trying to survive everyday, name, labels is an illusion it's not real because truth is beyond words and beyond ordinary people and ordinary living beings understanding
