MN 059 The Many Kinds of Feeling with Bhante Vimalaramsi 16-Jun-12

Majjhima Nikaya 59 The Many Kinds of Feeling - Bahuvedanīya Sutta
The Buddha clears up the question of why someone may be confused as to how many kinds of feeling there are, for he has presented many different lists. This discourse also describes the progressive pleasure one attains from the eight meditative attainments, and from the attainment of cessation.

In my "top 10" of Bhante's teaching videos. The whole path is here, listen and attend closely! :-)

This is one of the most clarifying talks on the Buddha's teaching. A very good teacher.

[@RohiShetty]

Every Vipassana meditator should listen to this discourse. Many smiles and much metta.

Can someone point me to the evidence that meninges tighten with feeling?

[@devushkim4014]

Why did he add consciousness when talking about cessation of feeling and perceptions if the sutta doesn't talk about it?

[@SamZeroKG]

Refer to mins 29:00 the cakkhu (eye), sota (ear), ghana (smell), jivha (taste), kaya (form) vinnana are the consciousness as mentioned in the sutta

[@SamZeroKG]

The section of the sutta that talks about four formless states talks about infinite consciousness mins 51:00

Hello, why can't the students sit with their legs crossed? I was always taught that this was the best posture for meditation.

[@davidjohnson8218]

He means when you are sitting in a chair and listening to a talk from a monk you are not to cross your legs. This has nothing to do with sitting on the floor - only when you are in a chair and listening to a talk.

[@enlightenmentandphilosophy]

David Johnson I see. Thanks.

[@6Uncles]

@@enlightenmentandphilosophy one of the monk rules.

[@fingerprint5511]

Thai custom is to sit with legs to the side

[@solinetaing1618]

[@nicepandas]
