In this video we talk about the 40 different meditation subjects. There are 39 other subjects besides in-and-out breath meditation.

It is indeed a suitable object for all types of caritas. 0:00 Introduction 1:52 10 kasinas (in most cases they are 10 disk objects) 3:55 10 asubha (foulness of the body) 6:13 10 anussati (10 recollections) 7:40 4 brahmavihāras (4 divine abodes) 7:55 Eka sañña (contemplation on the repulsiveness food) 8:08 Eka vavatthāna (1 perception, or the 4 Elements) 8:22 Catu āruppa (4 immaterial jhānas) 8:53 The 6 Temperaments 12:44 Recap on 40 objects by groupings 13:35 How to find a teacher (Pa-Auk) 14:02 Some suggestions of meditation objects and choosing 15:31 Closing statements The video The Body Farm can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrTOFYm-xhY

In this video we talk about the qualities needed for the development of meditation. These qualities are listed in the first 3 stanzas of the Metta Sutta. It is not just for Loving-Kindness but for all types of meditation. Because not many people are interested in traditionally taught Theravāda loving-kindness meditation, these qualities are often overlooked. In this hour-long talk, we discuss all of the qualities listed in this sutta. May you learn from these qualities and apply them to your practice so you can attain Nibbāna safely and quickly. 0:00 introduction 3:21 Chanting 3 verses 6:56 First Verse Skilled in good... 8:30 Right Livelihood 17:07 Second Verse Being Able ... 22:40 easy to talk to 24:50 soft (story of driving in car) 32:30 putrid cow urine as medicine 36:01 easy to support (monk in airport) 41:58 to be light in duty (story of father and brother) 52:41 restraint in faculties 53:38 greedy for families (donors) 57:12 conclusion: What we talked about
