Jared Marshall "Old man Tcheng used to live across the street from me and would always get up early in the morning to steal my newspaper." Hey Jared, I accidentally deleted your very funny comment from this thread when I went to reply and do some emojis of laughing faces and didn't know what I was doing and clicked the wrong button. Anyhoo, love it - ha ha ha ha aha! 😊 😊 😊
I am relieved to see that someone else has brought attention to this Old Man Tchengs character- after listening to this - I am pretty sure he is some sort of mind hacker’ How else could he go on and on with the details of my private, silent, still mind? Oh, ohh- Hey, Im gonna go have another listen - lovely to bump into people here- ❣️
What a punch in the stomach the teaching of Old Man Tcheng is!!!!! To all of us who seek here and there, to all of us who pretend to be this and that... ..."and with a graceful pirouette, Old Tcheng disappeared.." Dear Samaneri Jayasara, no words can thank you enough for sharing all that.
How utterly beautiful! You could read the phone directory or the daily newspaper and non-dual Truth would reveal Itself through your voice. Deep gratitude!
I find solace and comfort listening to this and all your recordings, in these times violent eruptions here in United States, revolution thru out world. Much gratitude again 🌞 🌙 🌎 ❤ Collective compassion global community...
A million thanks for this much needed shaking. Just like that, ritual and paraphernalia vanish with all other delusion leaving only this being. The rungs of the ladder we use to climb above ignorance vanish after each step. Only us. Only this. 💐🙏💐
Man, this was brutal lol. Old man Tcheng just roasting people for an hour. This was really cool though. I didn't know the term "Original Spirit" was used in Buddhism. And the analogy of the moon's reflection in the water was wonderful
By forcing a label on this teaching, you have objectified a direct knowing into a concept, a thought in your head. you’ve made the boundless universe contract into a tiny, ephemeral flickering.
@@MountainDharmaYes! This kind of labeling is like making one's mind into a pimple on a pimple within the chaos of differentiation. This is the constriction caused by the struggle of conceptualization. It is like cramming one's self concept into a clown car in one's own mind. Even the old man says that original mind cannot be bridged through the thoughts of others. Of course that is so when even our own thinking can be like an obstruction when we see ourselves as a divided entity within. Parity is found in stillness and teachings are more effective when we stop analyzing and vivisecting them with expectation and fantasizing about imagined prerequisites for original mind. It is like realizing the sunlight illuminating the whole tree instead of identifying with and swinging within it's tiniest branches.
I just broke up with my girlfriend.. this what I needed to hear... My mind has been eased at the 20 min mark... I've been listening to your readings for 3 years. I've heard this one before, but tonight it has sunken in.
Oh how I wish I understood. I’m just sitting here understanding and not understanding nor knowing what I I understand and don’t understand. ❤️🙏 Love to you all.
I love how he redicules the 'baldies' and 'nincompoops' (monks) ! One of the most powerful texts I've ever came across. The way you have read it couldn't be any better ❤️❤️
@@vijayaranha9018 it points directly to the nameless without having to go through the spiritual jargon and the politically correct rituals. It goes as far as ridiculing those who play the game of spirituality in a powerful and funny way. The '' truth'' has a direct path, you don' t need rituals, wise masters, prophets, monks, prayers, meditations or anything else. '' original spirit'' is here and now nothing can be said about it, this is the end of the story!
I am most grateful for having been guided to your UA-cam channel. Your readings truly feed my spirit. Thank you for choosing this path as in doing so you have helped me on my own path. 💖🌺🙏
"If you were True Men, your thoughts and actions would be Just, and in each Moment, appropriate to their Purpose." O yes! Original Spirit flows like Water at the Touchstone of the Inner Life. Once it Flows, all members of the man are informed by it's Virtue. All actions become in line with that Virtue. The Divine Will flows and become the will of the man. The virtue of the man becmes the Divine Virtue, naturally, without further effort. Not sure if Youg Man Tcheng ever had much to say, but I'm glad Old Man T did not keep silent. This is Gold. ∞
I really appreciated this, exactly the right ear for it today. For me it's probably the most profound negation of all the tricks of our identified minds and the irony is that mine is trying to many of the things he warns of now like ,let me find out more about him etc. . Wonderfully read and the background music fitted so well thank you so much Samaneri your a treasure
This one always makes me smile inside. I wonder if it was as enjoyable to narrate as it is to listen to. Thank you, and best wishes for your new hermitage endeavor, hope you get plenty donations. It's great to be able to help support someone who is so supportive of our own spiritual growth. 🙏💚
The of sweetness in your voice while reading some pretty harsh words from old man Tcheng makes me feel like cruising slowly on a sunny day with a loose chain on my bike that keeps popping.
How i loved this Ajahn,This resonates so close to truth...It literary strips you of everything your hanging on to. How we get trapped into such pettiness and subtle impulses and than beg for freedom and release that we have self imposed on ourselves......How can one free himself but with humility.,This talk i will cherish for some time.......Thank you for this discourse...
I absolutely love him ! I’m laughing all the way through. I love how harsh he is with his words. It makes me laugh at the whole ridiculous situation that I’m not in. 😂
What brilliant and compassionate ramblings.He lives the stone casually to reveal our mud! I have need of this nagging and nosy neighbour at times....😆 .Crazy and beautiful ♥️
My inner cynic is saying “well, it’s all-bloody right for you innit Mr Tcheng! with you’re benefit of hindsight, sitting there, all awakened and stuff, laughing at us, admonishing us, for rubbing mud in our eyes and complaining we’re blind”
I know it's just a way to jolt the audience out of their comfort zones so they will listen, but it's pretty amusing how he insults his audience in about every paragraph. Charming in a way. We all know it's frustrating to try and get people to openly listen, especially when relating difficult or unusual concepts.
Once an individual awakens he realizes that humanity is the water that helped him become a fish. He is not the water but without the water he is nothing.

He is about as grumpy with his fellow monks as my father-in-law was with me. Not wearing robes I feel that I safely avoid many of the arrows flying at his audience, so I am quite receptive to his message, while all those monks are squirming on their meditation cushions and waiting to escape from the withering storm of his excoriation.
Hello. I think I should ask your permission to call out your channel and use this video as background music in an episode of my Minecraft Video series. I appreciate your labor very much... And the use of this teaching might just be a perfect fit to the idea I am trying to iron out in game play. Thank you.
Zen seems like a combination of Taoism and Buddhism. But really I guess that makes sense on some level because they both are really trying to get you to let go.
This is so great, thanks for sharing. And yet I've been searching and searching (being a nitwit as old man Tcheng would say) for information about this teaching/text online, and cannot find anything. Where is it from? I would be so grateful for links to sources for exploration.

Sobered up! Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu
Upon opening my eyes in the morning, I seek any and all of your videos. The word thank you does not capture my GRATITUDE for this gift.

🙏🏽 I accept what is. This appeared and I listened.🙏🏽thank you

I like the wild nature of this message of no teaching, no thought, no belief. Oneness and unity of being is such a beautiful poet 🧡🔥🌎 love solipsism
It's one step back in solipsism, but yeah, same idea 👍

Unfiltered truth with a side of comedy 😄 So refreshing! Thank you for sharing with such ease … blessings, always 🧡
Woke up to this. Thank you, from just another nincompoop. 🙏❤️
Shared love from a nitwit.
dimwitty lamebrain is happy to hear that ⚡️🕺.•°
Ha ha.
Me too!...
Numbskull here 🤣
The tears in my eyes appeared when I looked at the greatness of what you are doing Dear Samaneri. Thank you.
Wow this guys ruthless.. love it !!
I just broke up with my girlfriend.. this what I needed to hear... My mind has been eased at the 20 min mark... I've been listening to your readings for 3 years. I've heard this one before, but tonight it has sunken in.
This is the truth told in the most beautiful way ....told by a master and read by a saint! I don’t hear words ....I hear bells and angels singing.
Oh how I wish I understood.
I’m just sitting here understanding and not understanding nor knowing what I I understand and don’t understand.
❤️🙏
Love to you all.
So good! This really cuts through the mind's methods of deluding us.
I love how he redicules the 'baldies' and 'nincompoops' (monks) ! One of the most powerful texts I've ever came across. The way you have read it couldn't be any better ❤️❤️

Thank you!
Essence.💐
This sounds like one of the pep talks that the headmaster used to give back there in Finishing School for Galley Slaves.
Old Man Tcheng kept calling me a numbskull. Then he took all the vegetables from my garden and left. He is the original gaslighter.
Magnificent
I'm surprised there was a car max ad 😮they are noticing the popularity of these videos.
Thanks. You are just pushing to those who are on the banks of ocean waiting for a push to jump.
