Re: I'm a young monk in Thailand doing tudong practice :)
Right after I read this, purely coincidentally, found this gem: Pancho and Lefty. Heartworn Highways- Townes van Zandt I guess one can see what the difference between a putthujjana wanderer and a Samana wanderer is quite clearly from this? :anjali: Living on the road my friend Was gonna keep you fre...

The Lullaby hymn of Queen Madālasā
Hello all, This is a beautiful Sanskrit composition from the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, in which Queen Madālasā sings a song to her son to stop him from crying. The rendition is perfect. The video was commissioned by the School of Practical Philosophy in Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDd3iupKUy...

Re: Uganda Buddhist Center
I met him randomly during a visit to a German monastery where I'd actually gone to meet Ajahn Brahm. He asked me how my life was going, and I told him that my job and financial situation is not secured and that I didn't know what the future holds. He said (I paraphrase), "Life would be really b...

Re: PreBirth Experience (PBE),Remembering Birth,Past Lives
This thread is quite interesting, I did not know such a thing as PBE existed. More interesting is to read the comments on the youtube video, so many people seem to have had similar memories/experiences. Quite intriguing. In the end, however, these memories do not help in reducing dukkha from our liv...

Sorry for being off-topic, but this right here is gold. :hug: :twothumbsup: I looked again and you are right, you did not say that guides force us here. I did not read carefully what you wrote the first time and so I misrepresented what you said. Please accept my sincere apology for having misrepres...

Kabir
Kabir (Hindi: कबीर, IAST: Kabīr) was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet, Sufi and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism's Bhakti movement and his verses are found in Sikhism's scripture Guru Granth Sahib. He was born and raised by a Muslim family. He was nonetheless strongly influenced by his te...

Re: Ruth Denison documentary
Such a beautiful documentary! Thanks so much for sharing!
Near the end, it seems that Ruth is saying her final goodbye when almost everyone starts crying. Was it really close to the time of her passing?

Re: Can I not eat anything for 30 days.

This is controversial though not considered suicide in this tradition, and its validity has been legally upheld by the Supreme Court of India. So unless ...

Tragic death, which could have been avoided.

Re: Vipassanā Practice and Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta
FYI, it may interest you that many Goenka centers run Satipaṭṭhāna courses: Satipatthana Sutta Courses have the same timetable and discipline as 10-day courses. The difference is that in the taped evening discourses the Satipatthana Sutta is carefully examined. This is the principal text in which th...
