This video was made during a meditation retreat Feb 2007 at Joshua Tree, California. Bhante Vimalaramsi made this so that people could find out who he is and what he is teaching. He is the first teacher to teach directly from the Buddhist Suttas in the way the Buddha taught. He says that much of the Buddhist Meditation today is actually a one-pointed practice which the Buddha found out did not go where he wanted to go.
He learned the highest Yogic practices and meditations but left and found his own enlightenment, finally in Bodh-Gaya, India under the Bodhi Tree. This is what Bhante is teaching.
He also goes on to talk about the progressive stages of practice which is quite interesting.
This talk gives complete instructions. There are no other teachings. You may watch this, practice and experience everything he talks about very quickly with serious effort.
Some students experience in only a week what he describes later in the video. Not years, in a week!
