Re: Kalāpa in the Four Nikāyas
Assuming "nikayas" refers to the Sutta Pitaka collections, why only four? Last time I checked there were five.

Re: Jhana/nimitta/vimuttimagga v visuddimagga , etc
I liked the video of the woman spinning cotton. Always interesting to listen to someone talk about something they know well from direct experience.

Re: Mantra in Theravada (aside from Buddho)
Yeah well "Wikipedia"... " Buddhism probably borrowed the concept from Hinduism.[1][3] The statue of a Hindu holy man with beads dates to the third century BC.[3][7]" Buddha Dhamma already well established by this time; so it's a toss-up as to who appropriated what from whom. Besides it wasn't "Hind...

Re: Ciggarettes
Hello Shan Yin, I don't know if this will be of any use since it is a personal idiosyncratic way in which I managed to keep off the smokes. I used to work a job that was seemingly more easily done with coffee and cigarettes on hand. But I had another life in which I would take time off to do meditat...

Re: How to Combine Loving-Kindness Meditation with Concentration Meditation?
According to the Visuddhimagga (III 106 2) metta practice can lead to the first three jhanas; but not the fourth, which is characterised by equanimity. One can't be equanimous and loving at the same time. It is thought by some samatha practioners that it is very difficult to develop strong concentra...

Re: If most human beings go to a lower birth, why are NDE's "98% happy" experiences? (according to this guy)
I'm asking because this video would appear to contradict what I've learned, listening to certain talks by a highly respected monk, who said that most people, having lived out their human birth, end up in the ghost realm (or lower)... what do the suttas say, regarding this issue? I don't feel like s...

Re: A collection of Early Buddhist material not found in the Pali Nikayas and Chinese Agamas
I must admit that I am not aware of the various convenient tools that Google provides. I'm a bit of a recluse in this digital world. "they" say that it all depends on your threat-level. Since there is no such thing anymore as complete privacy or security; it's a matter of trade-offs. Here's a site t...
