40 Samatha Objects Overview

Here is a video I made explaining the 40 meditation objects. Most people only know mindfulness of breathing, hence the title “The Other 39 Meditations”. We cover the objects according to the Abhidhammatthasangaha. We also cover the temperaments for selecting a suitable object.
The video is missing the light kasina for “suitable for all temperaments”

Thank you for this, Venerable Sir. I think everyone should try to practice all of the 40 meditation objects while we are still in the sasana of the Buddha.

Also, Venerable Sir, may I know what website was used for the AI-generated images? I would like to get those images as well.

I used chatgpt (pro version).
You can download the images here.
Please know that the disks are way bigger than as I described.
AI wouldn’t listen to me… but it gave a description so I used it.

You can use a torch (flashlight) or any light to shine on a wall. That will work.
