2004 Official  Opening  Kasina Training  Course  at Wat Yan Na Ya Bangkok on June, 20 until now.
 
In  1997,  When  I did  meditation  at  one  day. The  idealism  had happened  to  me that  why  many people   who  have practiced  meditations  every days  could  not proved  the  level their meditations  by  themselves  or could  not  reached   them  every day  according  to described  in  Tripitaka. I  thought  there maybe  have  something wrong  in  the way  to  practice meditation  and  the thinking  had  happened to  me  that there  were  many kinds  of  meditations in  Buddhism.  Why we  have  strict just  only  breathing meditation (ānāpānasati).  It  could be  limited  to do.  When  I thought  back  to  Tipitaka. I  found that  they  have 40  kinds  of meditations  in Buddhism.  Those of  them  there are  ten  kasinas that The Lord Buddha  have  tough first.  And  he claimed  that  he was  successful  the enlightenment  by  kasina's. They  are  the great  power  and highest  absorption. After  that  I tried  to  practice kasina  meditation according  to  way had  been  described  in Visuttimagga  and  Tipitaka. When  I have  practiced  them not  so  long, I have  found  by myself  that  it was  amazed. Every  time when  the  colour of  kasina  had happened  to me  in my  sign,  I have  found  a good  filling  had happened  to  my body  too until my  tear fowled . When  I  encourage some  one  to practice  she  had found  a  good filling  like  me. And  than  I  have tried to find  the  place to  teach  people. Finally  I  got  a  room at  Wat  Yan  Na Ya  in Bangkok. The  official  Opening   on  June, 20, 2004 until  now.
Thank you.
