Video Meditation Course (VMC) is a systematic introduction and in-depth explanation of the 62 techniques of meditation described in the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. The course comprises 25 lectures, each about 20 minutes long, written in comprehensible English, videotaped by professional equipment in a modern style. All videos were filmed in Burmese jungles, either of Hlegu or in the North of Yangon, between 2017 and 2021. Only 10 out of the 25 lectures were completed by 2025. The lectures will be published weekly starting from November 2025.
The aim is to:
– create interest in meditation not only among those who already meditate but also among those who have heard about meditation and those who have doubts about its benefits
– elucidate all meditation techniques in accordance with the Pali scriptures of Theravada Buddhism
– answer any questions related to meditation that any advanced, beginning and potential meditators may have
– provide thorough information on the meditation practices taught and followed in Myanmar
– resolve controversies related to meditation in Theravada Buddhism
– encompass the wealth of information related to the Path toward Ultimate Happiness, including similes, stories, parables, and metaphors which are available in the Buddhist scriptures, relevant books, or shared by meditation teachers.
May all beings be happy and healthy!
