Re: Creating disgust of the body
second i must say that i really like epic meal time - for me it looks delicious 90% of what they do - but as a vegan i see it as not moral to watch them just to think about how much increases in animal consumption they caused and how much death they caused because of this videos If you want somethi...

Creating disgust of the body

peace.

Re: How can we have compassion for child abusers?
As a victim of abuse, they are going to be on my mind. While I recognize my role in choosing to focus on the issue, I am not yet strong enough to keep my focus elsewhere. Shortly after this post, I found out that my older cousin, who abused me, died of liver failure. This brought on a whole slew of...

Re: Thanissaro Bikkhu and manipulation of the breathe

I was concerned the first time it happened and the second time I spoke to some monastics about it to get some different views upon it, one opinion was it was simply the wind element (the element o...

Re: Shaking during meditation
Hi Carlos Try and remained focused on the object of meditation for as long as possible without a break in your concentration.. As concentration develops we notice all sorts of subtle stuff going on in our mind and body we had been previously unaware of. Don't pay it any attention and retrain your f...
