Re: Where do you guys fall along the MBTI scale?
I am an INTP. I think the most practical way to use this information is that it describes the dominant trend of your habitual tendencies. It is also useful to understand that the other factors or letters also express themselves in another dynamic, such as for an INTP, ESFJ (the opposite) is referred...

Re: mahasi vipassana vs goenka vipassana
As for monastics, venerable Analayao stated that he practices the Goenka method as one of his meditation practices. Kind regards That's interesting. In the talks I've heard from Ven Analyo I recall him saying that he used metta as a daily practice and elements for formal sitting. However, it's been...

Re: Early Buddhism resources
I just get the feel that his thesis is largely built on his understanding of "English-translation jhānas", instead of "Pali jhānas". In quotations, I have decided to use popular and widely available translations of the Suttapitaka which are now in circulation. I wanted to avoid ...

Re: Early Buddhism resources
Hi, “Reexamining Jhāna: Towards a Critical Reconstruction of Early Buddhist Soteriology” — Grzegorz Polak, Wydawnictwo UMCS, 2011 Hi Piotr, Thanks for sharing this. I found It to be a very interesting and thought provoking book. He loses me a little in the "Aftermath" section, but I'll de...

Re: Meditation/Lineage Diagram
Thanks all! Hey Retro , great suggestion. Do you have any better background info other than the same blurb that is repeated all over the internet about him? Their omission would be discrimination because their omission would infer that "dissemination of ideas" "on the study of meditat...

Re: Meditation/Lineage Diagram
I said ordained, that is different from being a disciple, or training under someone. I guess we may be talking past each other here a bit. Just to be clear, the connections I would like to illustrate are more "trained/mentored in meditation under" and lacking this detail I rely on "O...

Re: Meditation/Lineage Diagram
1. I'm thinking about reformatting the diagram with diagramly using uragamuni's alt. version as a reference for figuring out the layout. 2. Ben about Mahasi Sayadaw's lineage, I haven't been able to find any other reference (besides the book you provided) to a connection with Ledi>Monyin>Mahasi. In ...

Re: Meditation/Lineage Diagram
Wow, thanks everyone. This is great. The way it's laid out makes it look like the Thai Forest tradition is subordinated to the various Burmese traditions Yeah, that is unfortunate, but just a result of needing to connect Kornfield with Ajahn Chah. The Thai forest tradition was orignially in the top ...

Re: Meditation/Lineage Diagram
Thanks for all the positive feedback! manas , I agree, reformatting would help to make things more clear. I would also like to have the teachers above the students whenever possible, so that definitely could happen if I do a version 2.0. I would also like to make room for a finer break down of the g...
