Re: Wat Dhammakaya
Do they sell stone Naga eggs with different colored glass "gems" inside so you can break the egg and know your lucky lotto numbers?

Re: What is wrong with the three lives model of DO?
Well I guess you'd have to answer what it is that transmigrates from one life to the next and see if that notion jibes with the Buddha's teaching of annata. If you find that answer, please let us all know and we can put this debate to rest once and for all. I don't understand that objection. Nothin...

Re: Bhikkhu Samahita's Recent Google Groups Email
It all seems pretty weird to me.

Re: Controlling the long breath?
Thanks for all the great replies. In the past I've always ended up putting anapanasati aside in favor satipathana as I found I've had trouble losing the breath on and off the cushion. I have also noticed that subtly, I would control the breathing a bit every time I watched it. Sort like "there ...

Controlling the long breath?
In Bhikku Buddhadasa's 'Breathing with Mindfulness' he talks about controlling the long breath (and the short breath) to observe the effects on the mind and body. This just seems different than anything other approach I have come across where we are not really to control the breath but observe the v...

Re: Craving while being mindful?
Well, this is interesting. I think I would say no. One can only be fully mindful when the five hindrances are not active. This means there is also no craving (or at least no sensual craving) because this is one of the hindrances. here is the case where a monk remains focused on the body in & of...

Craving while being mindful?
Can craving arise while being completely mindful? Or at the moment craving arises, is that a signal that mindfulness has stopped and mental proliferation or fabrication has started?
