AlessaParticipant💨 🤢 🤮 😂
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. 😊

RobertaParticipantHi
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.February 3, 2026 at 6:22 am #454896
Thomas168ParticipantI 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.

AlessaParticipantHi Everyone
Part 2 of So Be It by Jet Li has come out. 🩵

RobertaParticipantHi
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 videoFebruary 7, 2026 at 12:34 pm #455010
AlessaParticipantHi 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. 🩵
