Hi David,

I've recently started meditating online with a "Bhante." Can you touch on the different titles within Buddhism, and their relevance. I must confess that I once fell asleep during one of the meditation sessions. It was the most blissful sleep I've had in a long time. I know that titles don't matter, but if he isn't enlightened I can't possibly imagine the bliss I will feel one day when I reach enlightenment.

Warm regards,

Stacey

Hi Stacey, I am pleased that you have been enjoying some guided meditations. I'm afraid I don't know about titles in the Theravadan tradition - they are different from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition that I am more familiar with.

I am adding my appreciation for this teaching. I find this helpful, easy to understand and as Margaret did, I find it hopeful.
