    I need some advice here, becoming balanced and relaxed is an incredible obstacle for me to overcome due to several spinal injuries, broken tail bone, herniated lumbar discs, bulging discs in my neck. I have broken past all these barriers before to where my body resonated with vibrations so powerful I could not feel pain, or fear, or hate, only pure love. But getting there is sometimes far too difficult. What can I do to break these barriers holding me back?

    “Lord Buddha” WTF Buddha was not a lord what BS

  3. BougnouleDeMerde says:

    @TrueZenBuddhist there is not zen buddhism. Buddhism is Indian. Period. The rest is bullshit.

    I mistrust the motives of those who are pedantic about things such as position. It gives me the impression they have a desire for authority rather than a genuine desire to teach. Because it is obvious that the only reason a position is suggested at all is that it is comfortable and stable. It doesn’t matter at all if the right hand is on top or below. Create a wide stable base with legs and behind such that your spine can support itself like a column of building blocks. It’s not difficult.

    @lionblackabyss7 maybe its the voice in your head that doesnt want to meditate and the voice in your head that does.lol

    @xLuckyLuciano – You can do it while trying to go to sleep too. If you really concentrate on the counting, and if thoughts do occur, (and they will), just immediately return to the counting – the next thing you know you will be waking up in the morning. No matter what state of mind you are in – it can be vacated with this concentration technique.

  12. xLuckyLuciano says:

    @JohnnyRock2000 Just tried that for about 7 minutes. Works great. I feel amazing!

  13. EdmondDantes1934 says:

    GOD says in the Holy Bible , only 2 choices for all sinful mankind&nation on earth.

    1. Repent&believe in JESUS only before too late , before you die , before the end

    2. Burn and be punished according to your sins in hell forever , for all eternity

    Choose only the right choice for yourself&your neighbors , time is running out !

    (Aliens&UFO&Evolution = Great deception from Satan&demons in the last day)

  17. v0lquete says:

    You don’t have to be Buddhist to mediate with this technique right? I just want to relax, and though I have great respect for buddhists an their teachings,I am not one.

  21. xTraGoodies says:

    If u meditate once and only one… Is it normal for u to basically stop thinking for 3 days?

  22. g17y5wb says:

    Okay, so I sat and tried to fold my legs into lotus position. But my hip popped out of its socket! Damn! It hurt like HELL! So I began moaning and groaning, but the other meditators around me thought I was chanting my mantra so they ignored me.  Since I was already folded into the lotus position, I farted this rotten eggs scented bomb that wafted around the room. NOW they began paying attention to me. So then I just shit my pants, hoping that they’d call an ambulance…

    @108329876 Ernest Valea is a Fundamentalist Christian writer. How could his analysis possibly be objective?

    Christianity teaches that because of sin, part of God became a human and was sacrificed to the other 2/3 of God as a blood offering. Then he came back to life and went up into the sky and now sits on a throne as judge. Then we’ll all get our bodies back after we’re buried and the good one’s get to live forever in Heaven, while the bad ones are tortured eternally…you CAN”T be serious.

    My gratitude also to Ajahn Jayasaro not just for this vid, but for all of his insightful and informative vids on Dhammatube. This one in particular has shed some light on something I need to refine in my practice (such that it is).

    I feel so fortunate to have been able to hear the Buddha-Dhamma in this lifetime, spoken by so many wise monks, all available on the net from my own dwelling…

    Buddhism is really interesting philosophically. Thanks for sharing.

    @Secretlyastonishing
    It’s normal that your mind ‘jumps everywhere’. You don’t attempt to stop it jumping. You acknowledge it has jumped. You look where it jumped. You make a mental note of where it jumped; what kind of experience the jump ellicited within you, if any, then you ”file” the jump away. Like cleaning up a messy desk. You file away your documents…or ”jumps”.
    Then you come back to thinking about your breath. In out, in out. And you relax until the next ”jump” you need to file

  33. JanAnn23 says:

    @Secretlyastonishing
    I also have a same problem, but my teacher told me that we cannot restrict our mind or concentrate one particular thing at a particular moment. As I practice vipassana meditation with fourfold mindfulness, i know only that i should acknowledge what i think as a first priority. For ex, when I think about something, I acknowlege thinking . You don’t have to concentrate 100% of the time. You just know what you are doing. That’s all.

    great man! he looks so relaxed..nirvana :)

    BUddhism is the best

  39. asian1779 says:

    Theravada Buddhism give u the free way to analize every text and every single thing.So im sure that buddhism its not a blind faith,tradition,scripture,analogies,and everything

  40. fattyficial says:

    this sounds great but i doubt it will last long. i believe feelings can confuse a person, so they are not to be trusted.

  41. ForeverAyrtonSenna says:

    I’ve been a buddhist for two days and I’m already a different person.

  42. Secretlyastonishing says:

    I have trouble meditating. My mind is jumping everywhere it’s so hard to keep my mind on one thing! I need help with this. I also have another question I recite a sutra that i think is called Diamond sutra in english but in Vietnamese it’s called (I’m pretty sure I’m spelling it wrong but I tried the best I can so bare with me here on this one) Chu Dia Bi. Will it still work if I cant concentrate 100% of the time. I concentrate on only small bits and parts of it.

  43. 1GautamaBuddha says:

    @Aaibtd You are correct. Kalama Sutta is usually misinterpreted and this has caused a lot of damage to people who are seeking the truth..The Buddha realized the four noble truths and showed us the correct path. This amazing task was done through the merits accumulated through aeons of practice. We are merely his students.. We should read and learn many suttas in the “Tipitaka” frst and learn the basics before coming in to conclusions about the meaning of one verse in the kalama sutta…

  44. pannadharo says:

    Inre: @Aaibtd said, “… you should determine morality NOT ONLY from your experience …”, The sutta did not say that, friend, Aaibtd. It said “When you KNOW FOR YOURSELF,” indicating based on conditions of KNOWING what is skillful and unskillful, based on conditions of KNOWING what is blameworthy, based on conditions of KNOWING what is critized by the wise … this indicates IT IS only from experience. Ones experience is a result of the actions taken on these conditions.

  45. Aaibtd says:

    Pardon the wall of text, I just think the Kalama Sutta isn’t usually quoted properly. People usually just regard it as saying that morality is completely tied to one’s own reason. But it isn’t. Buddhist practice avoids either extreme of dogmatism and skepticism. That’s why the sutta states that you should determine morality not only from your experience, but based on the advice of the wise. If you’re interested in reading the sutta, drop by the website Access to Insight. Look for ‘Kalama Sutta’.

  46. Aaibtd says:

    don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are unskillful; these qualities are blameworthy; these qualities are criticized by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to harm & to suffering’ — then you should abandon them.”

  47. Aaibtd says:

    contemplatives come to Kesaputta. They expound & glorify their own doctrines, but as for the doctrines of others, they deprecate them, revile them, show contempt for them, & disparage them. They leave us absolutely uncertain & in doubt: Which of these venerable priests & contemplatives are speaking the truth, and which ones are lying?”

    The Buddha: “”Of course you are uncertain, Kalamas. Of course you are in doubt. When there are reasons for doubt, uncertainty is born. So in this case: (cont.)

  48. Aaibtd says:

    @Buddhism28401 Though your commitment to non-dogmatic thinking is admirable, that’s not the actual body of the Kalama Sutta (from which that quote is so often derived).

    As they sat there, the Kalamas of Kesaputta said to the Blessed One, “Lord, there are some priests & contemplatives who come to Kesaputta. They expound & glorify their own doctrines, but as for the doctrines of others, they deprecate them, revile them, show contempt for them, & disparage them. And then other priests & (cont.)

  49. Buddhism28401 says:

    Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests.
    After examination, believe what you yourself have tested
    and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Buddha

  50. Buddhism28401 says:

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions,
    even though they have been held in honor
    for many generations and in diverse places.
    Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it.
    Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past.
    Do not believe what you yourself have imagined,
    persuading yourself that a God inspires you.
