Re: Secular Buddhism is Baloney
There is a sutta in which the Buddha helps an over weight King lose weight by practicing mindfulness of eating. This use of meditation was purely secular. There was no religious objective, no goal of nirvana or anything - just using mindfulness of eating to improve health. Also, the King *paid* some...

Re: When Early Buddhism became too complex?
I think another reason is that when it spread to central Asia and China, the monks encountered civilizations with very different ideas and philosophy than India. Central asia had been trading extensively from Europe to China and already had embedded philosophies and ideas which were very different t...

Re: How is it possible that some followers of the Buddha became Arhats in a matter of days and we didn't.
Is it possible that the predominant interpretations of the teaching today are not as accurate and effective ? ( i.e. they got a different teaching than us )
Just consider how many types/definitions of Mindfulness there are today.
Which one is correct?

Re: Letting go
Hello all, I'm not sure if this is considered Vipassana, Samatha, loving kindness or something else. The short question is, how do we practice letting go in the meditation? Letting go of, greed, hate, fear, etc. Thanks all. You can do this with daily meditation on death. While it may sound morbid, ...

Re: Metta as taught by the Buddha in EBT
Kaman wrote Analayo's key finding is that you should do brahma viharas directly after your satipatthana practice. Does not Analayo suffer from Migraines, and has he not admitted that he is unable to do Satipatthana. No that's Bhikhu Bohdi you are with the migrains, not Analayo. Here is a video of A...

Metta as it is described in EBT needs the strong centering awareness energy, or what Analayo calls "Embodied Mindfulness", that comes from satipatthana.

Re: Ven. Anālayo's New Book
Not all early nikaya texts originated from 1st council . Yes, I agree. It is very unlikely that all early nikaya texts were originally and completely established at once, or developed in one complete content and system. ANALAYO has proven that Chinese Agamas are virtually identical to the Pali vers...

Sleeping pills actually cause insomnia, and over time they will damage your liver.
