Re: Mindfulness at work

Today I am using a one hour Vipassana Meditation on YT that has a ringing bell every five minutes. Hoping this will help bring me back to the present moment throughout the day 🙏

Can an Arhat regress?

Hello folks!

Hello there

Hoping someone can point me to the Sutta that contains the Buddha talking about how Brahma came into being in this universal cycle and falsely believed he was the creator of it?
