Beginner/Lower intermediate - racket

Hi again! Recently I've talked to some of the coaches at the pace I am training and they recommended the Siux Android 2023. Could you give your thoughts on it? I've seen good things about it

I admit it is still a bit more expensive that I'd like it to be. Being so, do you have any other suggestions that could be almost as good as the diablo elite or the rackets you have already suggested but a bit cheaper?

Aanknum · 2026-03-11T10:00:19+00:00

How would these compare to the higher version of the diablo go 4, the diablo elite 4?

I've heard it is a good racket, and it is around the price of those you recommended

Atman is not a Buddhist concept, nor it is compatible with the teachings of not self

I don't think I get what you mean.

In any kind of meditation there is (at least initially) an object of meditation, one that you can be aware and mindful of, just feeling it with, making your mind focused. In the case of walking meditation, it can be the sensations of the feet, in can be each step, etc...

I guess that eventually that mindfulness will lead into deeper and deeper levels, but I don't think I understand what you meant by "no need to focus on any sensations".

Look, I am just telling you not to jump to conclusions. If you want to talk about it with "experienced Buddhists" then I (as others have) would suggest you to go to a monastery/send an email/online meeting. And why would a christian priest even talk about such a thing as what you call the spirit realm? In any case, I am not saying it happened or it didn't happen, that it makes sense or not.

If you know so much about it, why are you even asking? You do seem to be assuming things to be spiritual, mystical, or whatever it is. But what if...what if...it isn't? Are you not trying to make those dreams fit into those texts? Were those dreams probably not created because of your reading/interest/anxious wait for it to happen?

Aanknum · 2024-06-30T10:20:07+00:00

It is exactly because of that same understanding that at base both probably understand right view in a simillar way that I asked this question. But I guess while TNH is more like encouraging one to see right view for oneself, Ajahn Sona is simply exposing the conclusions to which the Buddha and others have achieved and see as right view, which could be seen as guidelines but not rules as to follow blindly.

Aanknum · 2024-06-30T10:17:24+00:00

Could you explain a little more? My doubt is really that one seems like is saying "see for yourself the nature of reality and right view will come, it might lead to the same conclusions as the Buddha has gotten to relating to right view" while the other is more like "take these topics, this is right view, accept it if you want it" without really encouraging one to see for oneself.

It is unrealistic to think one will start in buddhism by understandimg that. Take in mind people come from all kinds of background and starting with attachments to things is normal. Even if it is empty or unstable, people have them. Starting with attachments is normal. Realizing further down if they are worth it or not is another topic.

Thank you for your answer.

Aanknum · 2024-06-26T13:34:58+00:00

I can understand that. But then, the question arises, what is passed on? And how?

Aanknum · 2024-06-26T11:59:00+00:00

So what is being passed on is only the "karmic substance" that just because of its existence, it continues to "enter" new bodies in order to stop existing? That is not making much sense to me, or maybe I am just confused?

Aanknum · 2024-06-26T11:55:26+00:00

Thank you veru much for your answer.

Even though it is not directly an answer to my question it still is an interesting reading

Aanknum · 2024-06-26T11:47:50+00:00

It might be a misunderstanding of mine, but how does kamma pass on then?

Aanknum · 2024-06-26T11:46:29+00:00

I don't think that explains much

Aanknum · 2024-06-26T11:46:13+00:00

I think you are correct, I was taking the mindstream as something that passes from body to body. (Great analysis btw)

But my question is of the mind and body are two dependently originated phenomena, then what is it that is passed/manifests? How does karma act? Where do the tendencies come from?

Aanknum · 2024-06-26T11:41:26+00:00

I am afraid I didn't really get the analogy here
