@uilium Yes, been wanting to do a retreat for 30 years so my intention to follow instructions was strong. Intention is paramount, since you must drop your story. Even after a few days it became just about impossible to attach a sense of permanence to mere weather patterns. Everything arising is so utterly transient. After a few retreats it's just newness replacing newness continuously, one's own brain weather being just part of all that. I was lucky to find the "shortcut" Luangpor Teean method.

@siamkarl I need to go on one of those if I want to see myself happening in that detail...sounds like you were speed reading yourself. Since you mentioned it, could you see or experience the 3 marks of existence in yourself?

@uilium yes, I was 58 when I did my first vipassana retreat in a forest monastery in Thailand. After a few days I actually saw myself happening in micro-detail for long periods, felt 80 lbs lighter, and slapped my head in amazement. Why was I never told about this stress-free first-person domain during my long decades of expensive education in the West?

Un poco cientifista para mi gusto, pero no deja de ser una perspectiva muy hermosa. Aprendí un poco más del pensamiento budista gracias :)

What Einstein did say : The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.

Buddhism makes sense. It encourages people to seek knowledge.
