There seems to be many many Ven. Punnaji followers in here and Bhante V's association with Ven. Punnaji might be, what shall I say, sensitive, squeamish, overly defensive. worrisome etc. Not “many” at all. I haven’t followed his work for years, but in my experience it was his students that always s...

This thread was recently revived when new posters arrived and (after having actually listened to the content of the video) shared their thoughts, and some references. These posts seemed to elevate the discussion to a more productive level than it had started out with (trolling, baiting, baseless co...

All I’m saying is that it doesn’t take that much to convince the world that something incredibly shady is at play with the people in question, and I’m very happy that this thread was created. What Vimalaramsi taught was always unsettling. Like, immediately cluttered with red flags. And, having once ...

I was trying to point out that the accolades of the opposition to Armstrong/TWIM are bizarre in their own right. The two camps seem to be a compliment to each other, which is not always a good thing. But I also said that as someone who has not been mistreated or misled by these people, it is diffic...

the op video is bizarre 45 point of controversy, 10, 7, one the beard scares me the background is this and that we got better worse things to do he must love his beard etc, etc and so forth............... I got a sound system throughout the house and never watched the video till after I heard the W...

… Hi Sarahaa, The way you are quoting is making it very difficult to follow. That was a direct quote from Maurice Walshe DN Sangiti Sutta 33.1.7 "..." pg. 481 Sorry. You misunderstood. The way you are formatting your posts with the quote function is making your posts unclear.

Hi Sarahaa,

You could ask him on his youtube. I’d rather do a 5000 piece puzzle of a cloudy night sky than converse with a guy who uses nebula backgrounds on his video thumbnails. If I wanted to learn about space I’d just ask Dr. Steve Brule . LOL-you are conversing with me and I have nebula background on goog...

Here’s some food for thought… The majority of people in the world aren’t developing in Dhamma, yet we don’t see any “dark truth” YouTube videos trying to free them from the misdirection of worldly practices (“The dark truth of samsara *spooky editing* …” :o ) So, I find it interesting just how serio...

This 'real', 'unreal' & moments business seems like a huge rabbit hole that one doesn't need to go down. “Who neither goes too far nor lags behind, who of the world has known, “All this is not real” ; a bhikkhu such leaves here and there as a serpent sloughs its worn-out skin.” - Snp 1.1 “Monks...
