Just what did the Buddha teach? How did he teach meditation? There
are so many methods - which one is the original one Nibbana can be
achieved here and now. If you don't believe it, listen in with
Bhante Vimalaramsi as he talks to his retreaters every night at the
6PM Dhamma Talk. Bhante spent 3 mos in a cave in Thailand, with a
cobra no less, to try to understand just what the earliest suttas
from the Tripitaka actually teach you in terms of how to meditate.
These methods have appeared to have changed over the last 2500
years. Which is the right one? He spent 20 years with many Burmese,
Thai and Sri Lankan masters, yet finally just got a copy of the
Majjhima Nikaya and went into the jungle to figure it out for
himself and now he teaches what he found in that Thai Jungle. And
we can listen in on that in this book as he gives talks to
meditators and answers their questions on his typical 10-day
retreat. He found a particular step that was left out. It made all
the difference in the world. Bhante goes through the instructions,
handling simpler distractions and obstacles and then moves into
deeper Dhamma such as the 8 Jhanas and Dependent Origination and
finally Nibbana, all of which can be experienced on these retreats.
Awakening can take place in weeks and not years or decades. The
Buddha stated that this practice is immediately effective. All of
these talks are based on suttas from the Majjhima Nikaya translated
by Bhikkhu Bodhi (Wisdom Publications - 1995).
