Joshua Tree: Instructions and higher Stages with Bhante Vimalaramsi
This video was made during a meditation retreat Feb 2007 at Joshua Tree, California. Bhante Vimalaramsi made this so that people could find out who he is and what he is teaching. He is the first teacher to teach directly from the Buddhist Suttas in the way the Buddha taught. He says that much of the Buddhist Meditation today is actually a one-pointed practice which the Buddha found out did not go where he wanted to go. He learned the highest Yogic practices and meditations but left and found his own enlightenment, finally in Bodh-Gaya, India under the Bodhi Tree. This is what Bhante is teaching. He also goes on to talk about the progressive stages of practice which is quite interesting. This talk gives complete instructions. There are no other teachings. You may watch this, practice and experience everything he talks about very quickly with serious effort. Some students experience in only a week what he describes later in the video. Not years, in a week! Enjoy and practice!

This is an except from a talk by American Monk Bhante Vimalaramsi on the higher jhanas. In this discussion as he reads the Sutta he relates a story about Dipa Ma when he asked her why she sat so long in her meditation. Bhante Vimalaramsi is an American who is teaching Buddhism differently than most teachers today-directly from the Suttas. When one practices as the Buddha taught, without leaving anything out, progress is very fast and deep. More information and videos: http://begintosee.googlepages.com
Bhante Vimalaramsi reads and comments on the Samyutta Nikaya short Sutta named The Fire Sermon in which he explains very clearly and carefully the nature of desire and craving and how meditation sees it and understands it. This is the culmination of the practice he teaches. This is what we are trying to see and understand and subsequently let go of.
Bhante Vimalaramsi does a public talk at the Bahai Center for a 2nd night.
