    💨 🤢 🤮 😂

    In all seriousness, it happens to me too, Tommy! I’ve never tried meditating with other people though. 🩵

    That’s cool! I didn’t realise there were comics about Buddhism. I’ll have to check them out. 😊

    Hi
    The Forum is a public space & I feel no ownership to this thread.
    Anyway back to farting in meditation. One summer i was asked to give a guided meditation to about 2dozen scouts plus their leaders in the scout hut . So they are all lying down eyes closed and as I said take a deep breath in some one farted really loudly so I quickly said ” Take a deep breath in unless you are in the fartzone! this brought about a few giggles and lightened the atmosphere. When I do my initial introduction to newby meditators at our centre I tell them that it is alright to laugh, cry, snore, fart, gently move position or even die. this helps them relax.

    I am sorry I went there, … “Take a deep breath unless you are in the fart zone“, that got to me. Almost laughed out loud. I do my meditation in the living room alone. And feel free to let it out. But, always wondered what to do when in a room with other in a Zendo? As a kid, whenever my family went out, first thing my sister wanted to know was where is the bathroom and is it clean. Strange things one remembers??

    Alessa, I usually do not buy the books but spend time reading them while in the bookstore. But, when I saw the comics about Buddhism, I just had to have it. Hopefully someday my daughter will find an interest in them. She use to love graphic novels. The pictures helped to understand the story.

    Hi
    I really enjoyed this video, especially since Jet Li & I are the same age & his outlook is similar even though I have not been rich or famous, I do not concern myself with physical looks or keeping my money for just me & I accept the reality of aging, sickness & death so I too do not suffer.
    Thank you for sharing the video

    Hi Roberta

    I’m glad to hear that you liked the video! 😊 That is fascinating to hear that you share similar insights and values. 🩵

    I liked that he was very forward thinking in his life. I’m only starting to get that way now. 🩵

    I found it interesting that he had the experience to see that sometimes things that initially seem bad can have good outcomes in time. It was a wait and see approach.

    I was a big fan of Jet Li as a martial artist. It’s lovely to see him explore Buddhism and share his insight. 🩵
