Hi, I started this meditation... But then there were adds in the middle. Please remove the adds they are quite destructive to the meditation

[@jayrlbd8355]

Is this some kind of advanced meditation where you have to be so zen and focused that you aren't bothered by the multiple in-video adverts?!?!

[@dlcontact165]

Thanks so much for sharing this is very helpful and your compassion and empathy can be felt.

[@magpiestudent9357]

Thank you.

[@rapikaur6409]

advert right when you just relax @=)

[@Julie-s9l]

Adds!!! Grrrrr

[@rachelclare8795]

[@Gino_567]

thank you 😊

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

You are welcome and we are happy you enjoyed the talk.

[@niamhheverin78]

Nice, but I found the volume sooo low

[@jerrymillett3895]

I found it quite relaxing myself, very appropriate. I think I can relate to that though-Two of my regular meditations are spoken by Thich Nhat Hanh and a speaker is usually needed.

[@rustysuesue]

I agree, beautifully led, thank you (although yes, very quiet)

[@dannyworters8479]

Its crazy that there are ads on this video.

[@shunlaiei5981]

🙏🙏🙏

[@jmihalisin]

What I heard was so beautiful. Unfortunately, even with my volume turned up as high as possible, I could not hear much of what was said. Is there any way that you can improve the sound? Thank you.

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

Hi Julie, thank you for contacting us. I will will feed your comments back to the Dharma night team. Thank you so much for taking time out to feed this back to us.

[@rachelandrews7586]

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

We are so glad you enjoyed the talk, I will feed this back to the team.

[@dorcasdillon4881]

Beautiful gentle voice and guidance from the heart. Bit of sound issue alright 💖

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

We are glad you enjoyed the talk and we will feed your feedback to the team.

[@JamesHarkerMusic]

Do you realise this video is cut up by random ads? Literally impossible to get into the meditation

[@assasin2016]

It could be your youtube membership. R u signed up for ad free?

[@JamesHarkerMusic]

@@assasin2016no, nor am I prepared to. I don’t mind ads at the beginning or end of videos to fund the platform, but putting them throughout videos in as jarring a way as possible so as to push people into paying for premium is an aggressively profiteering move. I can get uninterrupted meditations elsewhere.

[@kirstymcdonald4058]

This is good, but there are ads constantly popping up. Very distracting

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

Hi Kirsty, yes it seems that TH-cam have been increasing their advertising. From our end we will need to increase subscribers, so we are asking people to subscribe to our channel. Otherwise, from what we understand the frequency and type of the advertising is different and tailored to the persons individual TH-cam account.

[@stepanbucher2512]

Amazing but there are ads, got quite scared haha

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

Yes, sorry for the ads. Once we get more subscribers we can control the ads.

[@pawel.badenski]

I get ads every 5 minutes in this video, it can't be used like that. Do you have a video somewhere else, eg Vimeo. TH-cam broke all meditation and relaxation videos by pushing their ads.

[@evanshao]

Why would you put a youtube add in the middle of a meditation video...

[@elisabetelima2983]

Can I do it lying down because of a medical condition?

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

Yes, you can do it lying down

[@poetryjones7946]

The sound is so low. Can’t hear 😪

[@alnicholson4344]

This sounded lovely but even with speakers or headphones I could not hear your voice, 😒

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

We are glad you enjoyed the talk and we will feed your feedback to the team.

[@poetryjones7946]

Needs volume adjustment, way too low

[@victoriaszabo2155]

Was great until the loud advert during the meditation scared the crap out of me

[@ascapola]

Nice meditation, but ruined by intrusive adverts

[@CambridgeBuddhistCentre]

Hi there, unfortunately we cannot disable ads on our page as we are not in the TH-cam Partner Programme. I understand it's a big inconvenience, especially for meditation videos. Apologies for that.

[@x108SoulOdyssey]

Wtf advertisement in the middle of the meditation

[@riddleexperiments5843]

get a microphone
