It’s done. Not much to look at, but there you have it. If it is of use to people, I’m happy. If it’s not, well, I guess I still have to be happy… why let my happiness depend on the happiness of others? It is sad to think that inevitably there will be people [...]

Okay, so I’m writing a book. Well not actually a book… probably only twenty or thirty pages long. And not really writing it, either, more like editing transcripts of my How To Meditate videos and reformatting them as a book(let). Anyway, here’s chapter one: Chapter One: What is Meditation? Uploaded the whole lot of Asalha videos after amplifying the audio so you can almost here what is being said. Here’s the playlist, the first video is from Visakha Puja in Tarzana, the rest or of Asalha in Moorpark: Still teaching in the Metro Detention Center; this week I had the opportunity to [...] Okay, found this neat service called ustream that lets me broadcast both audio and video for free… the quality is not so good but, hey, free is free. Check it out: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/monkradio Next broadcast is at 7 PM Pacific… I’ll try to broadcast our evening group meditation. Update: the 7 PM broadcast was a [...] And here’s a collection of Mahasi Sayadaw epub books. Download as you like: Mahasi.zip This collection is taken from http://www.mahasi.org.mm/treatises.html.

I recommend, as do many [...] Confession of a monk… I got an e-book reader. Tired of lugging around boxes full of books… actually, I’ll probably continue to do that anyway, masochist that I am :) The upshot of it is I’ve found a way to turn html books into epub format that fits nicely on the reader. And I’m [...] An outline of the step-by-step path to purification outlined in the Tipitaka and expanded upon in the treatise called the Visuddhimagga, especially as it pertains to meditation practice. I was recently asked whether the word Ajaan can be used for people who are not ordained, and rather than limit the answer to one person, I thought I would share it with all of you who might be interested in the subject. The word Ajaan, or actually “Aajaan” (อาจารย์) as the Thais pronounce [...] Insomnia is really one of the easiest things to cure with meditation; the cure is to forget the nonsense that says you must fall asleep. Actually, from a meditation point of view, it would be great if you could stay awake all the time so you could meditate. It is actually quite refreshing to [...] Reposting this, as the link has changed: I never thought I would create a bit torrent, but in the end it has been a surprisingly pleasant experience. Create a DVD image file, make a corresponding .torrent file, then upload the latter to a public bit torrent site and start “seeding” the former to whoever [...] |
