Ajahn have you renounced vaccine conspiracy theories and spreading misinformation? I ask because I'm trying to decide if I should take you seriously, maybe become somewhat of a follower and attendant to your message.

Covid has absolutely nothing to do with the Dhamma? If you had even the slightest capacity to suspend your judgment, you’d see that Punnadhammo teaches some of the highest Dhamma available on the internet.

Please elaborate, what has the Ajahn said about the vaccines? Besides, it's really a non-issue these post-pandemic days. Unless the mpox causes another pandemic...

Hi Venerable, thanks for your work. I know that you’re not intentionally trying to spread misinformation, but I would suggest that you do some more investigation into the Goenkagyi tradition maybe even taking a course then you would really start to understand it. There is a really good interview with Barry lapping on the Myanmar insight podcast.

Hi Venerable, thanks for your work. Mahasi Sayadaw got his name from the huge drum that was situated at his village monastery where he took robes as far as I know he was born in Shwebo, another thing is the Goenka method and the U Ba Khin method are exactly the only difference is that Goenka teaches it as a Universal Practice In the same sense as the Buddha would have taught it, to prove this there is not one mention of the word Buddhist in the Tipitika but there are plenty of words for a Dhammist in various forms, U Ba Khin taught the Vipasanna in the context of a Buddhist environment. Oh, it’s an interesting theory that you said that Vipasanna was invention of the British occupation. Vipasanna and the Abhidhamma was widely spread because of the British occupation and they’re printing presses. Actually, there is a tradition in Burma that when the senior monk feels that his most senior students are up to the task the head monk will wander off into the forest to make an attempt to complete his path to Nibanna. Vipasanna is a technique that needs to be asked for from a proficient teacher. That is why it is not in the text as that would value the efficacy of the Vipasanna , and you absolutely have to have a teacher. It’s not something you can just make up from scriptures especially if some mental difficulties come up you need someone who’s experience that can share metta with you and help you come difficulties that might cause mental health type of problems. It is very very dangerous to start practising serious Vipassana Meditation without a competent teacher.

Thank you, Bhante. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu. Always enjoy your talks on Devas, cosmology and Indian philosophy. Your internet was nice and steady this time. I hope the fly that landed on the camera at about 33:55 was able to make some merit from listening to the sutta discussion.

I haven't read it, but there's a book out called "The Half-Life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date". This supports the view at 27:00 that our knowledge isn't strictly cumulative, but is a leaky.

Ajahn, it is probably not the case, but vpn can affect internet signal (VPN will slow down your connection because it needs some of that bandwidth for encryption purposes). But I did hear from my Canadian friend who works in the wilderness planting trees that internet quality there is bit glitchy. They probably need to plant more internet signal boosters as well. :) Thank you Ajahn!

Mahavira and Makkhali Gosala were contemporaries of Gautama Buddha as both were active during fifth century BC and were present in the greater Magadh area. They were central figures of Jainism and Ajivikas. I was expecting some reference of them.

@@leorivers7759 If you click on the channel name "Ajahn Punnadhammo" under the video, or on Bhante's photo next to that, you will come to the main page for this channel. There's a link there to the Arrow River website, with information about the location and visiting. EDIT: Yes, if you're in the US you definitely need a passport to enter Canada.

I had heard of Buddhism for a long time, when I was young I might have even considered my self Buddhist but didn't know where to learn anything about it and it faded from my mind for awhile. What brought it back to my attention ended up being a video game series, Shin Megami Tensei, which has different beings from varies mythos in it so interest in the cosmology ended up getting me fully into the practice. 😊

Thank you for this... I noticed that Jhana starts easiest when the focus is on the very small point of physical sensation of the breath at the nostrils without any attention given to the perception of the in/out breath. The smaller the focus on that small point, the better. I like how you talked about the mind needing to catch up to the body's slowing down - the breath becoming nearly imperceptible. Eventually, yes, the mind slows down too and they get in sync again. :)
