Yeaaa shinzen ❤️❤️❤️

The poem reading really touched me. When Shinzen cried, I started to cry.

I am glad to see Shinzen putting out more videos. "The Science of Enlightenment" is a must read and practice book. Thank you for writing it, Shinzen.

The seed of obsession with TS Elliot's poetry now grows within my mind. Maybe it will grow into a tree after Mid-winter Spring. 🌲🌞

So happy to see a new video by Shinzen!

Absolutely beautiful and helpful. One of my favorite things in life is to see someone so emotionally touched by the profundity of the thoughts in their mind that they have trouble getting the words out without losing it. Something to do with deep truth. Anyway, you have helped me so much over the past few years, thank you for that and for this.

Thank you for sharing and being open to us.

This filled me with joy 💜💫

❤️ This is sublime. Thank you.

Beautiful, touching.

Thank you Shinzen for such a moving talk. You are a great teacher.

Shinzen’s humor warms up my heart. Love from Brazil 💛

I subscribed yesterday. After many months of not posting anything, I open my phone and youtube to a video having been posted 20 seconds ago. Amazing!

This is puré gold and so moving. Please try to make more vídeos. “There’s joy in repetition”

Such a deep… Deep and complex video and reading. It would be a great honor to be able sit and practice with Shinzen. When the world returns to normal, I hope he hosts an in-person sitting/retreat. To be able to rise & fall, sink & swim, hide & be seen on our individual and combined paths, in his presence, would be beautiful ❤️

43:53 when he gives a yelp of genuine astonishment cracks me up

ToDa RaBa - many thanks

Thomas Stearns Eliot a.k.a. T S Eliot (26 September 1888 - 4 January 1965) is the author of Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (1939), a book of poetry that became the basis for the musical Cats.

Little Gidding I Midwinter spring is its own season Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown, Suspended in time, between pole and tropic. When the short day is brightest, with frost and fire, The brief sun flames the ice, on pond and ditches, In windless cold that is the heart's heat, Reflecting in a watery mirror A glare that is blindness in the early afternoon. And glow more intense than blaze of branch, or brazier, Stirs the dumb spirit: no wind, but pentecostal fire In the dark time of the year. Between melting and freezing The soul's sap quivers. There is no earth smell Or smell of living thing. This is the spring time But not in time's covenant. Now the hedgerow Is blanched for an hour with transitory blossom Of snow, a bloom more sudden Than that of summer, neither budding nor fading, Not in the scheme of generation. Where is the summer, the unimaginable Zero summer?

MORE VIDEOS, please. Regularly. Weekly. please, MORE VIDEOS. Really, M. Shinzen, stop being so lazy. Ever since you farted on your earlier series' blooper reel, I knew you were the real deal. Then when you put the g-d math formula that describes freaking awakening in the beginning of your book... well that got my staunch scientist girlfriend at the time to pick up the book and 2 years later she is meditation almost regularly. When some lifestyle, self-improvement KZread channel asked you to describe your current state of experience... that was... Listen, more videos, please. Just go go go man, stop messing around. Get one of those devotees to regulate it and take control of the schedule for you. A podcast at least (my apologies if there is a podcast already). Enough of this!

Expandcontract doesn't count. Long form, regular. Let's go.

The cards are refreshing for some wierd reason 🧐😂💃🐒

So, did this early encounter with Ernest Becker prevent Shinzen from ever reading 'The Denial of Death'?

15:56 Six hours of practice without a scintilla of movement. Strong Determination/Corpse Posture

16:00 Espresso?? Wait, isn't that kinda cheating? 😂

Do what works :)

I just blocked Shinzen from all my social media... soooo disappointed in him. WTF he fell down the rabbit hole. Sad.
