Thank you, I don't know what I would do without meditation at this point in my life. I wish it was taught to me at a younger age in fact I think it should be on regular early education curriculums.

Great! Thank you Ven. Nick! How to explain meditation? After 42 years of NOT showering my mind, I couldn't imagine how dirty my "glas of water" got: just chaos in my head. 7 weeks ago I started meditation after discovering this channel and just two days after starting (2x 30' a day) I didn't know what is going on: my mind gets calm and bright and so peaceful and I can clearly see, what went wrong and where to go now to develop good within myself. It is amazing. But how to explain it may fellow men? AND HERE YOU ARE! Many, many Thanks! I love the way you share wisdom! Trying to get a copy of your book. Many greetings from Germany.

CONGRATULATIONS!! 🙂 Can’t wait to get it! Meditation is EXTREMELY important especially in this day and age. I love meditating. I go to group meditation and spend time alone doing it to. During the day I practice presence…aka no thought. Clarity is priceless. Thank you for all you do! ❤️ from Phoenix, Az

Wow beautiful my friend. Keep it up 👍😀

This is the absolute best explanation of what meditation really is! The visual with the water helped me to understand the purpose of meditation in great detail. I believe this will be life changing for me! I am excited to read the books as well. Thank you so much for this and all of your teachings. I just found your channel today and I have already learned how to look at life through a different (positive) lens.

Such an excellent way to understand the benefits of meditation. Thank you Ven. Nick. It is time for me to get serious about the meditation time in my life not be "flitty" with it. One day on; one day off....being distracted, etc. The analogy of the glass of water really helps visualize. I very much appreciate this video 🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏. Just ordered book and journal from UK Amazon . My mind gets so distracted and I always end up giving up my practice. Your explanation of cleaning the mind is very useful. Our brain actually cleans itself too at night whilst we are in the deepest cycle of sleep with cerebrospinal fluid ( normally early hours of the morning) which is why deep sleep is so important . Meditation really helps me get good sleep so I commit to keep at it this time. Thank you for your kindness 🙏

Beautiful explanation of meditation. As I have already shared, I have read the Dhammapada many times, so listening to you, immediately, a verse from it came to mind: "Cease to do evil, learn to do good, (the verse for emphasis), and purify your mind." I have read that many times, but when you defined meditation and gave those examples with the glass of water, that verse now has an even deeper meaning. Keep up the great work. Blessings to you and your family.

You're a great teacher. Thank you.

I always worry and put stress on myself that I won’t be able to sit and clear my mind effectively because my mind is constantly thinking and overthinking, but for the last few months I’ve been accepting situations and letting go. So now I need to discipline my meditation each day to make that glass of water clearer . I’m finding that your morning/night routines help so much and my daily life is becoming more joyful. Like you say the byproducts of the teachings really are positive … many thanks and blessings to you all there 🙏🏻

Thank you venerable Nick, meditation has been fundamental for beeing a better person in my everyday life. Thank you for sharing the teqnique and the key point, that is showering the mind. For what is happening near our neighbor country I felt the need and began to chant. Reviewing one older teaching of you and downloading the Chants. I love it. I don't understand a word, then I read the translation but it flows like water. Please pray too, you know venerable the wind comes from the north, blows cold and brings an energy that something very serious is happening. Beyond news and broadcasts and political positions... I was waiting at the bus station and that is what I sensed. Sadhu and thank you for sharing the wisdom For us to become better human beeings🌷

One thing really hard for me is that after practising meditation for years, experiencing the benefits from it so much I then tried to share it with people who just wouldn't be able to anderstand the importance of it. I'm sure that people like you must encounter situations where you see clearly the roots of the pain in somebody else situation, you have an idea of what could help to fix it but then the other one is unable to hear. It is so frustrating.
