May all beings be happy.
May my merits from Vipassana go for the liberation of all beings-across aeons, asankheyas, across endless time.
Be brave, strong, happy

Who is 'Himalaya Putra' - author of the 'Mind Book - The Mind Version'? Grok 3 tries finding out...
.....difficult to know who he is, and why he does what he does...
https://t.co/oQJnyurLWz
Question to Grok3: from the attached book (Mind Book-The Mind Age Version), what kind of being is the author Himalaya Putra? Is he an "evolved being"?

Difficult to know who he is....
(The last post, pre-scheduled)
I heard many new students say on Day 10 (Mettā Day) of their first Vipassana course: "I wish I had come across this earlier in life".
Coming across the word 'Vipassana' is your good kammas bearing fruit.
Heed your destiny calling.
Choose wisely
🙂🙏

Dhamma Giri Pagoda, Dhamma Hall-1.
In a meditation cell here during my second 30-day course, about 7 am, I experienced the moment confirming Vipassana as taught by S.N Goenka, in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, is the path to Nibbāna the Sammāsambuddha taught.

Life's most important, most necessary, most difficult, most beneficial work:
The Vipassana work of truth, self-realization.
Courageously take the Vipassana self-surgery to purify the mind.
Be liberated from all suffering. Experience real, enduring happiness.

May all beings be liberated
🙏 👋
The arising, passing away of kalapas (indivisible subatomic building blocks of matter).
The 31 planes of existence, and all beings arising, passing this moment.
The cosmos starting anew, every moment.
Every moment is a new beginning, a new year.
May you be happy every moment.
Another year ends today
"The moment of death is also moment of a new birth"
What would December 31, 2024 sounded like to ancient Romans in 50 B.C; to humans in 7024 AD. Time machine
Googols (10¹⁰⁰) aeons, millennia, years come, go.
Yet Life is this crucial moment.
Live it well
At Himalayan Gopeshwar today, nearest for donating my O+ blood (failed, dizziness after 3 blood donations post-surgery 2022). But déjà vu in a town I had never been to.
Like the Temple of Karnak, mentioned in new 'Mind Book - Mind Age Version' (out soon).
How many lives lived?
Changing the world within is infinitely better (and less headaches) than changing the mundane world.
Vipassana is the inner revolution for our better world - the war to remove demons of impurities in the mind, forever.
You reach the inner Shangri-La.
Our choices make our world.
Adoso 'ti mettā
– non-aversion is mettā.
Mettā is a benevolent attitude, goodwill to all.
To develop such an attitude, practice mettā-bhāvanā, with the base of a pure mind.
We practice Mettā at the end of a Vipassana course, and after the one-hour Vipassana sitting, twice daily.
Ultimate wisdom goes beyond short-term 'solutions' that only keep spinning the Groundhog Day of suffering.
The Buddha saw reality: as long as there is impermanence, there is suffering.
To go beyond impermanence he rediscovered & shared Vipassana - the way to ultimate happiness.

The Prince among saints born this day
Crucified alive on a wooden cross
Nails driven into his feet, hands
Unimaginable pain.
He generates compassion for his torturers
Asks they be spared. They 'know not what they are doing'
Mettā
Superhuman equanimity to sensations
Vipassana
A world gone forever in this lifetime - X'mas. Unforgotten December times in La Chatelaine, Don Bosco, Calcutta, Bombay.
A White Christmas in the Himalayas with overnight snow - the last December 25 lived in this lifetime.
Be Happy!

"Researchers found Anapana increases children’s concentration, helps their studies, reduces suicidal examination stress and strengthens character.
Anapana increases self-confidence. It stops children falling into dirty habits and dangerous addictions."
- The Mind Book
Prince Gotama began practicing Anapana meditation at age 5. In modern times, children learn Anapana from age 8.
MITRA Upakram bringing Anapana for millions of school children in Maharashtra, India, is world's largest HRD project: https://t.co/K2i4fOH8Mt
