Three of the few pictures I made back in 2002 at Wat Pah Nanachat. If one of you know the happy samanera, please send me a pm. We were good friends back then. :smile:
Get the wanting out of waiting

What does womanhood matter at all, when the mind is concentrated well, when knowledge flows on steadily as one sees correctly into Dhamma. One to whom it might occur, ‘I am a woman’ or ‘I am a man’ or ‘I’m anything at all’ is fit for Mara to address. – SN 5.2

If they take what's yours, tell yourself that you're making it a gift.
Otherwise there will be no end to the animosity. - Ajahn Fuang Jotiko

As if he were to see a corpse cast away in a charnel ground... :candle:
“Don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted and carried out, lead to welfare and to happiness’ — then you should enter and remain in them.”
- Kalama Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya

"Moving picture" OK here?

One I go back to often:



Mahasi video starts about 1 min into it.

Both DiPa Ma and Mahasi are also shown walking back and forth (as in meditation walk) -- both with the same foot patterns, and at about the same pace.
