23:39 Some of my best meditations as a youngster, was whilst cutting a sloped field with an old petrol lawnmower, the lawnmower taught me quietness, peace and tranquility! 🕊
For people who like to read(Not my favorite thing). Lotus position can be achieved by getting a stack of books, until the shin points down, no pressure on the knees, because the legs are at an eleviating angle, then simply read and remove books. If I had to do it, I would get a bunch of Donald Duck comics, those are very thin, very smooth for daily progress. Also, pictures.
Dear Bhante, Sometimes when I try to meditate longer than 20 or 30 minutes I feel tired and start falling asleep during my meditation and it's very discouraging to my practice, do you have any suggestions on how to be more awake? will be very helpful.
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon. ua-cam.com/play/PLiX6s1kV1fRMCQyR6F7b6HxXuBUn9Zgck.html&si=7nWb2Y5dT2JpZjzj Be happy and stay well.
Dear Bhante as I understand it, *Anapanasati* is an ancient technique that existed even before Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha, and there was Hinduism before his time. Siddhartha also studied under two renowned teachers, **Alara Kalama** and **Uddaka Ramaputta**, who had already claimed to have attained the higher meditative states (Jhanas). Given that he left these teachers to pursue his own path, what makes it significant that Siddhartha later recalled his childhood experience and chose to practice Anapanasati again? Does this imply that he hadn't fully explored it before or that his earlier practices were incomplete in some way? ❤ Saadu saadu saadu 🙏🙏🙏 I really would like to see you discuss this if possible thank you🙏🙏🙏

@@lefthookouchmcarm4520 thank you for your answer 🙏🙏 in to my knowledge vipassana is not a new practice among hindus tradition. As humans we should all go through same mental states as the mind is universal as it's a result of the course and effect. How could it be different
Ah yes, I am chakra guy, but I also do classical buddhist stuff, like bodyscanning. When it is first taught, its usually very funny, the teacher can deliver like a comedian "On top of my head. Look at this, this is my body. Very dukha, so let's go through it. Here is my toes. Very odorus, maybe you can smell it? Fish? Is that fish? Now, barely moved on to my legs, allready lots of hair. Make sure you feel it. Spiders, this is almost like a trantulla, this will be slightly lower under your nose keep your mouth closed". But as it gets more perfected by the practitioner, it might start with some really nice lotus feats instead. That smell nice. But the chakras are not real, they can not hurt you. So if it cannot create suffering, it is not real. Because all is suffering. This is just a way to relax and let go. It is like a pleasant dream, also not real. The cycle of suffering is more important. That is why I blindly believe everything I see here.
