You know, I get these in mu suggested videos. I see the frequency of when they are published. Likewise, I meditate and do yoga everyday. It is just what I do now. Still there is more I wish that I did, so I respect the action, because: I wish and try so hard to be But I know from experience It is hard to do No one is above the practice
Yes he will because you rejected him. Unless a budist has some how grown up with never hearing about the gospel of Jesus Christ then he may be able to be saved if he dies. But you deny Christ when you heard about him so you won't be forgiven.
Thank you. 🙏 🪷

5 + 5 = 10....but that's not the only way to get to 10? Theres many ways, and it's never wrong to find different ways to find the answers.

I have seen male representations of mara, as a man with a twirly moustache. Kinda funny there, moustache twirling villain. I think it also comes from indian Maya, a female enchantress, deva of illusion. Like, the female aspect can be our enchantnent with the story of there being an outside realit. The male aspect is the dominance of this story, creating the compulsory world Where it is really all in the eye of the beholder. Like, say I am color blind to blue, the color of my sky would shock you. Because I don't see the sky, I see MY SKY.

Source of inspiration, good to follow. Do you watch the videos you post on TH-cam later? And how do you record your conversations and images? Can that be integrated into your life as a monk? Thank you for your instructive speech
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon. th-cam.com/play/PLiX6s1kV1fRMCQyR6F7b6HxXuBUn9Zgck.html&si=7nWb2Y5dT2JpZjzj Be happy and stay well.
Being Thai, I find this very disturbing. Buddha is not a showcase or tattoo.
ok

The Pandora's box is actually the big bang when it happened because of that all energy interactions started and we are here with all evolutionary species and human problems after all all Buddha taught is to interact with energy and subdue the reactions and move in to zero or sunyata the state before the bigbang
That is not what the Buddha taught.

09:00 I woke up early today, after atempting, yet failing to have a lucid dream. You are absolutely right here. I might as well un alive myself for those hours. They are basically the same thing. I dreamed I cut my hair with a steel saucage clamp, my hair was very thick. Then I dreamed that I visited my old taekwondo club, where my instructor handed me an assignment. There is a sutta where some king asks about dreams, then the monk lists six dreams, where the sixth, prophetic dreams are the only ones that matter. I disagree. Lucid dreams or nothing. How can one claim to be awake, yet not have lucid dreams? Because what is a dream, but to emerge from the void, without your knowledge, in a drunken stupor where you accept everything as it appears before you. Might as well die and reincarnate as a stupid baby who remembers nothing. If someone cheats before me in line at the store, it doesn't matter because I will get groceries in five minutes. Those four hours, they're gone and they're actually an insult. So I tried to lucid dream again, wake inducing it. As soon as I felt that demonic form of sleep possessing the eye mucles, the roof of my mouth, the tip of my nose, still not seing any rainbows. I just got up. Why even lay there. An arahant cannot not lucid dream. There is a lot of work to be done here. Tomorrow it is Saturday. So I will either go to bed a little earlier and see what I can do, or not sleep at all. I want my eight hours aware. It might sound harsh. It is actually not harsh at all. We reincarnated in a 24 hour world, 24 hours should be guaranteed. Where is my 24 hours? I am missing a whole third. And it is not like when someone just cheats in line at the store and I get my groceries anyways. Those hours are gone. Just taken as if they never existed. Just death.

29:51 Rosie liked that bit! 49:40 I felt that as well 49:50 Agree, something else I'd say it's to do with 30:08, with a visible reaction at 30:23 Animals are odd like that, they don't like humans feeling higher than them! 49:57 Yep, she's offended lol, she went back to sit on the mat and ready to give her version, should of left the camera rolling. 🕊

21:35 Yeah, this is very detrimental. I want to have written a book and be holding a speech on my giant book release, with celebrity guests and music performance, I just don't want to sit down and write the book. My mind is filled with wrong images and thoughts, thus I don't concentrate on creating that wich brings joy in writing.

Dear Bhante, @fingerprint5511 IS correct! Sorry some Comments are becoming nonsensical. Hope you can streamline. Ex: Ajahn Sona's are turned off. Thank you for your teaching.

Thank you Bhante. I have noticed on Thursdays and Fridays the comments get weird on your videos, its like these people watch and listen to so much their heads are full of rubbish then they come and let it all out here and use you as a target. Im not sure by the following week when you reply that they actually will remember what they said and tune in as ive watched this week in week out. Anyway im always listening and appreciate all your offerings thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Some do, and if only a few it's enough. I appreciate your feedback. Sukhi Hontu
Phra Dan the other day I was listening to a Dhamma talk and they said the Hindrances just appear and out of our control. Thank you
Sukhi Hontu
Excuse me Phra Dan I meant to ask how this is so, thank you.
Not knowing the context of this statement I can only say everything is out of our control. However, we can train our minds to understand and prevent the hindrances being obstacles to our practice. Sukhi Hontu
