This channel has videos on the subject of TWIM which is the practice of meditation based on the earliest Buddhist Suttas like the Majjhima Nikaya and Samyutta Nikaya. The object used most is Lovingkindness of Metta which was actually suggested more then Breath and is faster and more interesting to practice.
The practice does not just lead to stress reduction but the actual experience of Awakening.
Delson Armstrong started his journey in India in his teens and practiced every meditation he could find. In 2016 he found TWIM and the relax step which led quickly into the deepest states of awakening.
He has written several books including Mind Without Craving and 4 books on Dependent Origination.

1:28:00 This is me! Thank you for asking! 💙 And Thank you Delson for the answers.
This is food for the body, mind and spirit.
Thank You to Delson and to the people making this happen. 🙏 How do one go about joining these events live? I love to be apart here from Sweden.
are there any groups near Oceanside, California who follow Delson? This resonates.
May all beings be safe
Really good video - thank you!
Excellent discourse by Nelson 🙏 an in depth wise break down of the Jhanas. Thank you!
Could you please talk about the seven planets and the sun in the moon and what they have to do with Heaven and Hell in the cosmology
Check out Delson's book on Birth or Jati. The Chat bot summarized your questions like this: The Seven Suns and Cosmic Destruction: Buddhist cosmology includes descriptions of cosmic cycles and destruction. For example, there is a mention of "The Seven Suns," a scenario in which the world undergoes progressive stages of destruction, ultimately leading to the complete dissolution of the world. This is not necessarily tied to physical celestial bodies but rather to the symbolic representation of the impermanence and cyclical nature of the universe.
Dear Darma friends. Does someone know when Delson come to The Netherlands? Please let me know. Thank you very much.
Austria sept 2025 tentatively, is closest that is scheduled for now.
Sādhu sādhu sādhu
I totally stumbled on your channel through a search on The Five Skandas. Your discussion on that concept was dope; your expositions and answers to the sangha’s questions resonate with simplicity and clarity.
One of the best dharma talks
Reminds me of visiting my grandparents. The older they get the less the material world can satisfy. What does satisfy them is when I sit down and give them honest attention and genuine truth of how I feel. They feel more comfortable the more honest I be. I can kinda feel when they need the attention or someone to talk to. It’s like there’s a tension in the air, like an unresolved thing. So I stay to talk with them and when I say “I’m gonna stay a bit”, even after the rest of my family leaves to go do other things. Their eyes light up with happiness. It’s so mundane but so profound.
Great comment! 🎉
Wonderful. Giving our attention and deeply listening and being responsive to others - these are signs of a kind and compassionate human being.
👍
Forgiveness Meditation (of others) helped me to overcome blocks to being able to consider Lovingkindness Meditation. Made huge difference. The self-forgiveness version helped me deal with the results of doing my first "life review" of this, my current lifetime. I also found I can use this to start forgiving others, and repeating it staring immediately before I lose my temper with them. Wow. So helpful. Even did this once while driving after someone started tailgating me ...I just let them by instead of getting angry. Not 100% effective but often works for me.
10:37 the end suffering: “If you fully experience everything as it is without adding ‘I’ to the it, just that is the end of suffering.” “When for you there will be only the seen in reference to the seen, only the heard in reference to the heard, only the sensed in reference to the sensed, only the cognized in reference to the cognized, then, Bāhiya, there is no you in connection with that. When there is no you in connection with that, there is no you there. When there is no you there, you are neither here nor yonder nor between the two. This, just this, is the end of stress.” -Bahiya Sutta 18:12 using the 4 noble truths to prevent suffering 52:03 real world example using an argument for illustration
Very interesting in this “new” angle to forgiveness meditation Delson was talking about. I don’t want to miss it. Will it be released here in this channel? Thanks for a great session! 🙏
hello- It is being tried out by some people. We will release it here at some point if Delson is ok with it.
@@davidjohnson8218 Ok, thank you for quick response!
Mendicant seems like a much better translation of bhikkhu than beggar. From AN 5.61 Obstructions In general, deal with hindrances using 6 R’s + observe how the mind is meditating using open awareness (attention shouldn’t be too narrow or too wide) 5:51 sensual desire: don’t become distracted by sensory input 16:07 aversion/irritation arises when you identify with the practice, e.g., I am meditating 25:00 sloth and torpor antidotes” meditating in light, outside, go for a swift walk backwards if necessary) for 20-30 minutes, splash cold water on your face, take a 15-20 minute nap 29:55 restlessness: antidote is 6 R’s 34:39 doubt (about how meditation practice is going): antidote is being certain of what’s happening in the mind
💕 Thank you 😊 great questions and answers. Goes along with the other talks in this Symposium in its excellence. So grateful 🙏
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this talk Acharya. I am deeply moved by your love, kindness and boundless commitment. It took some time for me with meditation. Now I see it. TWIM has helped me see the simplicity of the practice. Things are just perfect the way they are. I can be mindful all day. In my waking hours and sometimes even when I am seemingly asleep, I am aware. It will be wonderful if this was practiced in schools, workplaces, everywhere. For anyone who's interested in this practice I can say it helped greatly when I did a TWIM retreat. It sets the foundation to do the work. The why, how and now what aspects of life are no longer burdensome. They are actually a lot of fun because there is no examiner or any test to be given. It's like watching one long grand show play out. Those of you who visit this page, I encourage you to participate and see for yourself. It's fun, cultivating the discipline supported by nurturing the intention to sit with joy and curiosity.
So I am following this guided and I feel someone tapping me on my leg. I open my eyes look down and theres a small bird sitting in my lap. lmfao I felt like Jim Carrey In Ave Ventura. But anyways this would be an awesome guided if the advertisements didn't ruin it.
We are sorry about the Ads. UA-cam puts them on regardless of whether you monetize. We complained about it but nothing from it. It is also available on Insight Timer and all podcasts and should not have any ads. Its a wonderful meditation - and good story about the bird!
@@darmstrong693Okay appreciate the response. That sucks hopefully UA-cam fixes it.
@@Darksagan heh- its not an error - its there policy to monetize for them! Even if you don't want to!
Oh wow what a great talk in a great place!! Thank you, Delson❤As this week there's no more 8-fold path series to listen to, my intuition guided me to pick up the Dukkha book and this "First Discourse" talk. What great timing and it's like an amazing summary of the "8-fold path series" Deslson just gave. I like how the Buddha spilled all the "secret sauce" in his very first discourse! 😄Budha is the best haha 💯 Indeed, 8-fold path and DO are the most important things. The path is given and what are you waiting for? 🥰 Very practical timeless teaching that guides our daily lives 24/7. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu! 🙏 For those who can't get enough of the Dhamma, Delson's 8-fold path series is a true gem! ua-cam.com/play/PLPA5FfVf4ysAO5tw0Y6eSPOOWe1OPrsLD.html&si=U4fyAcDweLmc1L38 (And don't worry, it's not craving but wholesome desire haha -- "Chanda" 😉)
thank you 🦋
Thank you 🦋
Lake? What lake? Attended numerous ten day retreats at Dhamma Sukka no lake. Delson; David, why have you kept this secret from me.😢
Ha ha - the lake is 4 miles down the road. Not on the property.
Through forgiveness meditation ego melts.I was an egoistic person even I resist telling sorry
A perfect conclusion to a brilliant series. Highly recommended!
Thank you Delson .Clear explanation ..😁
Short and sweet! Thank you for posting this pithy excerpt. 🙏🙏🙏
Practicing TWIM since 2019 (multiple attainments) and wowzers @Delson this is the best, most comprehensive understanding I have of all of this (Day 3 and Day 4). Thanks!
🙏🌃
Thank you so much for these life-changing teachings!
Stream entry is kundalini rising up the spine
No- it is not. Here is a response to Kundalini meditation. ua-cam.com/video/BlB0woiH0tg/v-deo.html
Thank you Delson for this wonderful series of talks🙏🌟
If only there were more physical retreats!
Thank you !
Thank you, Delson. 🙏
Thanks this was an excellent talk. Explains a lot 🙏
Wonderful talk!
The material in this entire DO series is just brilliant (and the video editing is beautiful too). Thank you, Delson, and everybody else who contributed to making this available. ✨
Indeed
Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu! Many smiles and much metta.
So if you experience nibbana 7 times you become an arahat and the 8th you become an arahat with fruition? Then nibbana is available at all times?
Yes -that's what he is saying.
🙏🏼♾️❤️🕉️🐸
This talk was perfect. Thank you Delson
Thanks Delson.
I love the big off topic laughs. It's refreshing and in a way still dharmic Maybe every other video should have a random non dharmic question which is made dharmic through the light and love with which it is asked and answered
Beautiful session. Keep them coming in whatever venue. Thanks for the fantastic production of these videos.
