Thank yu, you've done a great service to the dharma and practitioners. We MUST bring information about questionable teachers into the light, so that practitioners can be cautious when examining the teacher. I'm a Buddhist monk in South India.

Well, reliable information and slander are mutually exclusive. Wrong-view, wrong action and false speech are unquestionable aspects of ignorance. Ignorance ought to be illuminated with reliable, certifiable, inferential, verifiable, clear and true knowledge - isn't that the service brought to light? Making general assertions about this specific teacher is a category mistake. And, furthermore, although you're from there, then by definition, we're from here? Why would you say this; knowing that in the dharma there are neither power trips nor I'm, monk. Please say precisely what the great service to the dharma and practitioners is. Then, how is this teacher's teachings in fact questionable? And, since a teacher is a teacher because he teaches, and he teaches because he is questioned, so then, all teachers are questionable. What is your claim,. here? Otherwise, one could say that Nagarjuna was from South India and his logic is flawless. You are from So. India, therefore, your logic is flawless. You don't mean to say that, do you? Thank you in advance for these clarifications, monk, friend.

Vimalaramsi is very suspect. Even his teaching are weird. He came up with the "American forest tradition" out of no where.

A bottom of my heart suggestion for you, Sir. Why don't you try to see him, Bhanthe Vimalaramsi, from a positive loving kindness mindset and seek to understand; not him, but his teaching. This for sure will help you. Sincerely.

If you were a real buddhist layman, you wouldn't judge anyone, specially a monk. Where is your compassion and your respect for others?. I have heard Ven. Vimalaramsi talks for almost 2 years and have been of great benefit to me. I think that every one can learn much useful things from the monks, because they practice Sila (good behavoir), Samadhi (right concentration) and Pañña (wisdom), these are qualities that give me confidence. So, please, be careful with what you do and says, because it do your Kamma. May you be well and happy!

Wrong. The scriptures teach the real Buddhist layman assesses the mentality & behaviour of a monk before placing any faith in a monk. Refer to MN 95.

Vimalaramsi makes up stories and tells false claims about the buddhist text called the "Visuddhimagga" He slanders good monks names with no backing of any kind. I actually doubt his ordination.

Slander is one of the vicissitudes of life. It is interesting to see this video comes up with one of bhante's metta talks... Friend I hope you have been able to transform your suffering since then. And that you have changed your approach to whatever pain or difficulties is you were trying to express. May you be at peace with what is.

First off Vipassanna Nana has nothing to do with abhinna. Secondly Buddhist scriptures state quite clearly that ones who kill much in a certain life, are subject to short succeeding lives these are the words of the Buddha and an example of cause and effect action/reaction.

This is a rather sorry spectacle... the same video made three times, the same accusations, and no supporting documentation or testimonials. If you have actual evidence that Bhante V has committed misconduct, you should notify his elders in the Sangha who can investigate, not record scurrilous videos on KZitem. Bhante Vimalaramsi has a method which he teaches; the efficacy of the method can be determined by individuals. If it suits them, excellent; if it does not, there are a wealth of other methods and even traditions available. So long as he is not running some sort of cult, his students are free to believe or not believe his claims as they see fit. I personally don't lend much credence to his stories of a student in Indonesia who can pass through earth as though it were air, but that isn't relevant to my practice, and I do find his meditation methods to be of value. I hope you find peace of mind, and enlightenment in this very lifetime. Metta.

Buddhism is not for everyone. Honestly applying the dharma to one's own delusions is essential to the practice. Anger and agitation, the spirit of revenge, the spirit of harm, acts of false speech are not aspects of Buddhist accomplishments. You are one who must not wear the robes. Your own moral activity is not established and your mind unsettled,. Your knowledge is insufficient to remove doubts about the efficacy of the noble truths. Thinking, you can not remember his name. Acting out of ignorance, making all kinds of stupid, unproductive actions, and speaking falsely, harms yourself and others. In particular, you set yourself up as a paradigm of ignorance. Your wrong view is to your detriment. Super natural abilities, sir, should not be a concern of yours, either: the monk - whose name you do not know - was talking to someone else, not you. Forget it and fix your tie.

You say you were a monk. How is that possible? You seem to be full of hate and ill will? You seem to have rage inside you. Why are you no longer a monk? And you attack someone who you say helped you and is a good teacher. Even if what you say is true why would you focus on that negatove stuff and not on everything positive? I kindly suggest to you that you focus on yourself and improve your own self and ego. Metta to you my friend.

You are pathetic. If you dont believe what you dont see and feel that does not prove they are not there. Communicating with beings from other realms were possible 2500 year before and it is possible even today. Your loss of monkhood has made you a disillusioned person with "MAKKA" (A character property explained in Dhamma. Please dont collect more defilements by doing this type of harm to yourself. It is you that is being harmed by your deeds. May you be well.
