As always, you provide a clear and very approachable synthesis of Mahayana Buddhism. Thank you! They are beautiful nuggets of wisdom that are tasty indeed! I enjoy your offerings immensely.
thanks so much, David! I wish I could have heard all of it but the closed captions aren't working. Hopefully that's fix-able :) UPDATE: Closed the page and re-opened - Voilá! captions are working :)
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.
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.
So clear, so helpful… makes me smile, feel hopeful listening to it ….
Thank you, David
