- marmetio 4y agoNot who you asked, but Healthy Gamer GG has a lot of short meditations that only take a few minutes. There's a course on his site but a lot of the same information is scattered throughout his YouTube. https://youtu.be/86sYinrLuPA https://youtu.be/86sYinrLuPA
- edgyquant 4y agoHeadspace helped me tremendously.
- Sirenos 4y agoThere's a great book by Culadasa: The mind illuminated. It covers a lot of what ancient meditators thought about the practice, but the essentials can be found in the first chapter.
- scns 4y agoSecond this. He is a professor for neuroscience and meditation teacher for decades. Breaks it down into 10 steps, in plain english. A must, if you are into meditation, IMHO.
- sambapa 4y agoHe was, unfortunately.
- dorchadas 4y agoGoes to show the importance of Right View with these practices as well. They don't suddenly make you a great person on their own, etc.
- sambapa 4y agoI meant - his body dissolved and he got reborn or not (Idk whether he was an Arahant)
- dorchadas 4y agoAh - I forgot he had passed. I meant the sexual misconduct issues.
- scns 4y agoThat sounds like he molested someone, which he did not. He had a secret relationship with a prostitute, who he treated well, helped her with rent, even got her a flat IIRC. He was unfaithful to his wife, if you believe in monogamy. Many species of birds believed to be monogamous are not on close inspection. Both human sexes want to have sex with other people, besides their primary partner more often than we think. To suppress these desires leads to resentment and other problems i think.
