Dhamma-Vinaya Patipadā Podcast ·

2025/07/11

A Dhamma discussion based on the question..."While practicing I believe I can sometimes glimpse the impermanent nature of all determinations. For example, I can establish my mind on the impermanence of the breath and recognize that the breath depends on the body as its necessary basis which is in itself also determined by consciousness and thus also impermanent and not worth holding onto. This principle can be extended to everything in experience like the aggregates and sense domains.What would be

A Dhamma discussion based on the question (condensed and paraphrased)...'Bhante, thank you for giving me the chance to clarify my thoughts in writing—it’s something I rarely do.When I refer to “‘the form (of the Satipatthanas) practiced’ today,” I mean the common methods most meditators now use, such as watching the breath for extended periods.

Dhamma-Vinaya Patipadā Podcast ·

2025/05/01

A Dhamma discussion based on the question..."Often during meditation, I continuously experience a dreamy type of state when old memories become vivid and captivating. There is a level of comfort and warmth to this, but also some unease as I feel it's a distraction from my main object. I do my best to pull my mind out of these experiences, but they usually continue to come back moments later within the same sitting session.

'Bliss' Is Not a Sensual Pleasure

Dhamma-Vinaya Patipadā Podcast ·

2025/04/17

A Dhamma discussion based on the question..."I'm curious to confirm if the bliss referred to (as that which may lie behind the perception of mind), is that which is referred to in the Pali as *piti*. Often the English term "bliss" may be generally (mis)interpreted as intensely pleasurable feeling, like some hugely pleasant esctatic sensation.....perhaps like an overwhelmingly pleasant and long lasting dopamine rush. If intensely pleasurable sensations such as this arise in meditation, I

Dhamma-Vinaya Patipadā Podcast ·

2025/03/04

A Dhamma discussion based on the question..."I have a question about doubt in the practice. When I first started practicing I was quite enamored with (a certain monk's) work.
