Content / Description
A good Dhamma talk: for us, it's what we think we need to know, we don't like to have the basic things repeated. “It's too basic for me”: that's the kilesas. Sati-panna: from the beginning to the end of the path, we use them as a basis. Sila/Samadhi/Panna: they are all supporting one another. The 4 Elements (earth, water, air, fire): if we see it in the scientific way (solidity, liquidity, gas, energy), we won't understand them. Asubha/body contemplation: do it 1000 or one million times until a big big insight comes about the true nature of the body. Story of one practitioner's meeting with a deva.
