18:40 The Jhanas
But wait - not drinking water for 7 days is a death sentence for the human body. I don’t understand, how did the Vietnamese monk survive? Was he examined by a physician? Serious question, thank you 🙏🏼

While it is good to see native speakers of English who take up the Noble Eightfold Path reject the translation of samadhi as 'concentration' which demonstrates these monks actually practice meditation instead of putting on the ropes and pretending to meditate; nonetheless, to translate samadhi as 'calm' only is still limited.
While calm is surely a component of the experience of samadhi; nonetheless, there are other aspects of the experience of samadhi which are" bliss, joy and ecstasy. In my experience the 8 stages of samadhi are altered states of consciousness which manifest ecstatic altered states of consciousness.
