Vimalaramsi is questionable. He says he was ordained in thailand bue doesnt say what monastery or by who. He claims to have discovered the real meaning of the suttas yet uses Bhikkhu bhodis translations. He started "the americam forest tradition"....There is no such thing.

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.

No wonder you are not a monk anymore. Why don't you just explore more of yourself than what you are doing on this vedio my friend. on the otherhand I don't surprise because lord Buddha himself had people like this around him. So this video is a total waste of time and also a very big "akusala kamma". This is why not everybody can attain Nibhana.

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.

I watched and listened to about half of this and what I have to question is your motive. From a chain of chinese whispers, some piece of third hand information is not convincing. His unwillingness or lack of wanting to provide you with proof is not proof of absence. Either you have poor verbal reasoning skills or your brain is emotionally trying to hold on to anything that frames reality in a light that maintains your ego. This can't be healthy and must have a detrimental effect on your welbeing. Forgive the people you need to forgive, including yourself if needed and move on productively to new greener pastures.

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.

What a dumb idiot you are. Bhante Vimalaramsi is the only western monk that I came up with who teach pure Buddhism in English. I've not met him but have listened to his talks online. I have been a Buddhist in Sri Lanka since I was born and learned Buddhism from the best monks in the world. Unfortunately they don't teach in English but in Paali and local language. Anyways Bhante Vimalaramsi is the only monk that teach clear Buddhism in English the way the best monks in sri lanka teach. So stop accusing monks and have a look at yourself and find out why you couldn't survive as a monk.

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!

Ben, wait!..You're mistaking the finger for the moon. There is good that comes from these posts. See for yourself unfriendly and untrue non-arguments and wrong speech - which are not Buddhist virtues. The fact that the Venerable man Vimilaramsi practiced widely and by his own words came to see the Dharma only when by chance, he came to examine the Buddha's own words in the Early Buddhist Discourses, speaks of a life of honest, sincere striding, You can listen to him for example, then see for yourself in your own application, that his ability to illuminate the Suttas is extraordinary. As a result, his understanding is beyond this bickering nonsense. Don't take anyone's word for it. You your self sit and see if he is right or wrong. Get the Early Buddhist Discourses and follow along as he reads and explicates them. Don't let this clownish talk ruin Buddhism for you!

are we likely to believe someone who publicly admits he's breaking the confidence of another? that in itself says he's untrustworthy. I think someone wishes he was still a monk..but given how quickly he has turned on other monks and schools of buddhism.. i wonder how commited to his practice he was. All i detect from these videos is bitterness :-(
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.
