Original video: YouTube — One Minute of Heart-Stopping Stillness

This experience happened while sitting in meditation. There was no expectation of what would happen. I simply sat down, closed my eyes, breathed gently, and let the mind settle.

In less than one minute, the mind — which had been racing with thoughts — gradually grew quiet. The thoughts that had been running back and forth began to stop. Not because I forced them, but because the mind started to feel peace from within.

What happened was nothing extraordinary. No mysterious visions. No voices from above. Just the feeling that the mind had truly stopped — for the very first time knowing that “our mind can stop.”

Many people think meditation requires sitting for hours or years of practice. But this experience showed that one minute is enough — if the mind is ready and not forced.

The key is: do not expect. Do not try to see anything. Do not try to stop the mind. Just sit quietly, and the mind will stop on its own when the time comes.

This small experience changed my perspective on meditation. What once seemed difficult and far away turned out to be simpler than expected.

The Seventh Base, the Position of the Knower : Stop Still at the Center of the Body, the Seventh Base, Then Believe with Reason

Luang Por Dhammajayo teaches that the center of the body, the Seventh Base, is the most important position in life — the only position that liberates us from defilements and suffering. Yet the Evil One conceals it from us. Cherish this position: train the mind to stop still, soft, light, and comfortable, clear and calm, supporting it with the recitation "Sammā Arahang" until the sphere of paṭhamamagga arises. Then believe with reason and principle that we must get, must see, must be.

Destroy the Graveyard of Fear : Uproot All Fear, Then Believe with Reason

Luang Por Dhammajayo teaches us to dig out the roots of fear entirely — the fear that we will not see, cannot do it, do not know how — which is buried in our hearts as a graveyard of fear. Destroy the wall of fear and let it collapse, then believe with reason and principle that we must get, must see, must be. Recite the mantra of success: "Even though it is dark and murky, we still have the right to attain the Dhamma."
