Thanissaro Bikkhu is the best Dhamma teacher. He has studied, practiced and translated the Buddha's teachings at its core, pure and direct. And he is also a great communicator. Thank you for all the wonderfull guidelines, its a real treasure.
Great instruction, very matter of fact, great for a new learner. I'll also say, without sarcasm, theres a geek in me that enjoys being able to focus on the cicada-like capacitor squeal from his monitor and the windup & click from the old hard drive.
This is so, so true, and realxing - I suffer from panic attacks and do a bit of tai chi ( with the empasis on bit lol) This is such a tranquil video - fabulous job I now feel so relaxed x
I wouldn't "dislike" this as that would be ridiculous even though this meditation guidance was not, at this time, to my taste. I like the no nonsense approach well enough but his voice, to me, was actively unfriendly. I felt like I was being ordered about. Only my interpretation, of course. Perhaps the thumbs down are a reactive expression of people's discomfort with the delivery?
hahahaha.... so your ego is calling the shots! This is a GUIDED meditation, dude! Unless you're doing it at gunpoint, you have a choice to be here or not ... but, predictably enough, your ego calls all the shots, decides that it doesn't fulfil your "taste" requirements .... and "actively unfriendly"? Oh yes, in case you didn't know: the ego's full-time pursuit is projection! *Time to grow up!*
Walter Tonetto if that comment was directed at me I think perhaps you didn't fully understand my point. Like the OP I also was simply trying to understand the 24 thumbs down. Sadly, people can get very triggered by things simply because something is not on their wavelength. To say it clearly I did NOT "dislike" this video offering. Hope that clears things up.

Snowblood: I am in agreement. I have listened to him for 6 months-I like his content and understanding and instruction. But there is a quality missing from his vibe that I cannot out my finger on-a CEO-vibe, maybe impatience or boredom, not warm, etc, that makes me 80-20 on him. He reads better than he sounds. He is nearby and maybe I should make this trip to his monastery and see him in person. He is very good otherwise.
