Martine Batchelor Interview Q&A [Sit-Heads Meditation Club]
The insights on metta were very valuable to me. I always felt goenkas instruction for metta was to first feel a good sensation and only then are you fit to give metta. But i have been in the middle of a panic attack, and somehow it arose in me to give metta to all people who suffer panic attacks.. And that then helped me with my own panic attack and transformed it. If i had to wait till i have only pleasant sensations before i gave metta, it would never happen. And I really enjoy metta meditation. It has been one of the most valuable meditations for me in my practice
Extremely odd for Beth to think that physical sensations can't take one into jhana. All phenomena are arising and passing, wouldn't be unique to physical sensations, nor does there need to be stability in that sense for there to be jhana as there are people doing vipassana jhanas.
I think Beth may be too advanced for that last question to make sense to her lol
Nice :)
Great stuff, thanks!
Loving this open interview 🤍🤍
This is great!
Lots of great points brought up in this interview. Thank you for this!
31:00 safety first? haha
Very helpful and insightful interview ❤
Just wonderful. How is it possible to study and practice under his wise tutelage and guide?
You can find Meido here! www.korinji.org/
The mixing of the two, Buddhism and psychotherapy is one thing but what makes it effective or not is the mixer, the person behind the "mixing". The person can empower the so-called techniques (ideas whether considered Buddhist or psychotherapy) or the person can fall into coloring it in such a way that it is not what it is in the hands of another person. Even in the world of concrete objects rather than the world of subtle meaning, we find that a hammer as a tool becomes something different in the hands of a master carpenter and even more so, in the hands of a master carpenter who is also an artist. The human mind needs to be able to access the mind before concepts that divide. Something like living in the question or innocent wonder. The two categories spoken of here can be distinguished yet we also need to know that equally well that are not separate at the deeper levels. Also no so-called technique or teaching is separate from the person who is using it. Humor, humility, compassion and the wisdom of the reality of love and all such qualities are universal, not limited to any lines we might draw by making maps of the territory. Useful but not primary, we can't get the territory from the map. Thanks be and may all farewell on their way.
Amazing channel, really thanks
Great talk!
He’s the only one that makes me want to give Soto Zen a break, and give Rinzai a go.
Very nice
Really glad to hear Meido call out "faux internet zen". That's something that frustrated and confused me for years.
Wonderful 😊

Great talk, useful information.
This is an utterly exceptional discussion. Deeply inspiring. Thank you. 🙏
Wonderful 😊
Sanzen is a Japanese invention. It was encounters with anyone, not necessarily a (verified) Zen teacher, that made up early chan. See e.g. Huineng. The problem today is that sanzen is often the place of abuse. Koan practice was actually done in the open once, in front of the sangha. Zen may be Buddhist, Chan wasn't. It was a reinterpretation of Daoism with Buddhist inspirations (see Hinton: Essence of Chan). The more you study early chan, the stronger you will know by yourself. You may also find it in Broughton's Bodhidharma Anthology: concepts like karma and rebirth were already deconstructed by the group surrounding Bodhidharma. And do not make the same mistake as the Dogen school and understand "practice" as sitting!
Wonderfully pragmatic talk. Found this channel by searching on Shankman's name, having just learned about one of his books today.
Welcome! Yeah, Richard is wonderful - he offers one-on-one instruction, too :)
One can still go on these adventures, and many seekers still do. Where there is a will, there is a way. And if it's your karma it will happen. I am on a similar adventure now 🙏🏼
Thanks for the reminder! Metta to you :)
Brilliant interview with Martine!
Glad you liked it!
Hello Mr. Sit head thank you for all of the work that you put into this. If you can't afford a microphone, try to put a few blankets around where you speak to cut down on the echo. These days, the quality of podcasts and sound has gotten so good that people don't enjoy listening to people who sound like they're talking in a cave.
Thanks for another interesting video. Have you considered enabling the 'Super Thanks' feature for donations?
@44:30 what is the name she mentions? It is hard to understand. Thanks so much from Belgium
Sounds like “U Tejaniya”
Sayadaw U Tejaniya (confirming arir's answer)
Thank you Beth & Jon for such an illuminating & very helpful discussion. With much Gratitude.
Pleasure isn’t the problem. Clinging is the problem
Very helpful insight about the defilements arising during meditation … and how to address them. Much gratitude, Melissa.
Great work Jon. Much appreciated. Always a pleasure to listen to Beth.
Glad to see another one out, just finished a meeting with her yesterday!
I respectively say that you both should get new microphones. You both sound like you are speaking through a closed door. Simplicity is good, but the message has to get across.
No matter one's enthusiasm or chosen 'school', the beginner is going to have to 'find their seat'', develop some flexibility, build up their core (sitting) strength, and learn to settle the mind and slowly work up to a minimum time for the mind to purify. Eventfully, the breath will grow subtle, and the experience of unification (upacara smamdhi/access concentration ) will give rise to ''awareness''. It feels great! THEN, one begins to truly desire to deepen practice. This isn't (for most) a linear process! The main thing (at first) may be to just plant the ''seeds'' of the certainty that this path is one with heart and to be returned to as often as necessary. In the meanwhile, practice ethical restraint, sense restraint (eschew the porn, and video games that amount to ''rehearsing violence''), cultivate compassion, and BE VERY SERIOUS about ''right livelihood''! Metta!
I was led to your comment and it is so helpful. Thankyou.
For me even after 14 years of practice I haven't had access concentration, yet I have mindfulness from waking to sleeping, plus lucid dreaming. I recommend practice in daily life. I love concentration practice all day long, just very little time to ever do long sits. :)
@@user-fg3fv9hl3bi am similar to this, even as a nun, i dont do that much sitting meditation, but practice maintaining awareness at all times. I really struggle to keep attention fixed on one thing, it feels a waste of time for me, but find it relatively easy to maintain awareness of changing objects, such as sensations, thoughts, emotions, the khandas, and even dependant origination to some degree..always observing causes and effects, cravings and aversions, clinging, etc.. i do do retreats every now and again, and that is definitely helpful, i find especially because of the presence of the teachers. I find the presence of a good teacher has profound effect on my wisdom, my ability to see truth mire clearly, be aware of the attachments to self as they manifest in a million ways
I guess the Nibanna you talked about is first/ second stage of enlightenment?
Definitely a jew. Concentration. Word porn. Keywords. A jew
i've been depressed for a month or a few months even whlie trying to use dharma only to cure it; thanks for making this video and interview. I just started antidepressants and they have been seriously helping my life, and i may be restarting with therapy. also, ya my experience has been very similar to yours, John. Just enough light to start SLOWLY clearing away the clouds.
Thanks for sharing - sending lots of love to you. You’re not alone - so many people have been where you are and found their way back ❤️ I’m so glad to hear that the antidepressants are helping, and I’ll say that, just speaking for myself, therapy was a game changer as well. All of it combined very helpfully with my dharma practice. Best of luck and best wishes to you
Great program, thank you! The moderator and program creator conducted a very informative and well understood teaching in addition to Joseph’s brilliant wisdom.
Thanks for the kind words! It was such a privilege to host Joseph - he’s a hero of mine - and I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for this great interview. Always great too hear Meido Roshi. I love the straight up advice and clarity he offers. This type of honesty and integrity is very much needed in today's world. Blessings.
Thank you! The good news is we’re bringing Meido Roshi back soon!
I’m very grateful for Gil. Listen to him every day. Helps me refocus on enjoying life in the moment.
Yes, I think he’s a very special teacher. And his book “The Issue at Hand” is the dharma book I recommend most often.
My experience is that Jhanas are needed in particular for those meditators who tend to self-castigate themselves around their practice. The blissful states are not an aim or goal but, for me, a resting place that is quite useful.
Great comments on family systems work.
Such an amazing conversation. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
