Q&A FORUM ON MEDITATION:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD7-DIt1zps Samādhi Bhāvanā – Beyond The 4 Jhānas
Youtube: https://youtu.be/hHv_S27GYNQ One of the hallmarks of Bhante Punnaji's great teachings is his very unique, meaningful, and scientific explanation of the Paṭicca-samuppāda, which begins with Avijjā, that Bhante describes as a state of "insentience". We continue to explore the progressive advancements in Bhāvanā This paves the way to a clearer understanding of how the Buddha attained the state of Nirodha-samāpatti where the mind has stopped completely with total cessation of sensation and feeling, also known as Saññā Vedayita Nirodha. Bhante refers to this state as "Avijjā" or "Insentience", accomplished by the Buddha, and how the Buddha sees the complete unfolding of Paṭicca-samuppāda as he emerged from this state. Bhante has taught that Avijjā is not "Ignorance" as traditionally translated, but it is "Insentience" therefore this coming Q&A Forum is a must for anyone wishing to learn and understand Bhante's explanation of the Paṭicca-samuppāda. Beyond The 4 Jhānas where we discussed the four types of Samādhi mentioned by the Buddha in the Samādhibhāvanā Sutta in AN4:41.
When Prince Siddhārtha finally attained awakening, he had attained the stopping of existence, a state of attainment known as Nirodha-samāpatti. Bhante Punnaji explains that Nirodha-samāpatti is not the same as Saññā Vedayita Nirodha although most scholars think these two states are the same.
What Is Nirodha-samāpatti Youtube link: https://youtu.be/2lxyMpjSWR8 Q&A Forum on 11th May 2016 (Full Version) Youtube link: https://youtu.be/eVxEJJwsMuM Paṭicca-Samuppāda - Concise Version Youtube link: https://youtu.be/uwX7-i3r77U Download reference notes: http://tiny.cc/paticcasamuppada During the process of awakening, Prince Siddhārtha first attained the state of Cessation of Sensation and Feeling (Saññā Vedayita Nirodha), the state of stopping the mind completely, also known as "insentience" (aka "Avijjā"). It is by awakening from this state of Avijjā (insentience) that Prince Siddhārtha was awakened from the dream of existence, and became the Buddha, the Blessed One, the Fully Awakened One. Bhante's definition of Avijjā Youtube link: https://youtu.be/aOtP4S4nm_k "Satipaṭṭhāna As A Psychotherapy". This is Part 1 of a 2-part sharing on the practical applications of the Buddha's teachings in Satipaṭṭhāna we can apply on a daily basis (and moment to monent) to cultivate a more peaceful, harmonious, and happier life. I have also included the link to the presentation slides for your possible interest.

This coming forum paves the way to a clearer understanding of how the Buddha attained this state of insentience, and the Buddha then sees the complete cycle of Paṭicca-samuppāda as he emerges from this state of Avijjā (insentience).
Therefore, for continuity sake, it would be helpful to review the last Q&A Forum on Five Hindrances and the 4 Jhānas, as well as the related topic of Gradual Training, Gradual Practice, and Gradual Progress. Happy to share below the video recordings of both. Q&A Forum: Meditation and the Five Hindrances Youtube link: https://youtu.be/ilUZi36QIUo I have attached the presentation slides of the above Q&A Forum for your perusal. Gradual Training, Gradual Practice, Gradual Progress Youtube link: https://youtu.be/rbsTOAlw2II You may download the presentation slides of the above "Gradual Training..." with the link below: Presentation-Slides In a recent forum, Bhante Punnaji explained there are two ways to become awakened. When Prince Siddhartha renounced from the safety and comfort of the palace and gave up his princely life, it took him 6 years of constant and diligent striving to discover the path to awakening. He had become awakened, and became the Buddha, and then he showed his disciples a "shortcut". Like the discoverer of a virgin territory who had drawn up and handed down a map of the territory for all future seekers of awakening, we are now blessed with a map to follow. This map is the Sublime Eightfold Way, the way to end all suffering. Here is Bhante Punnaji's explanation.
