New Look at the Satipatthana Sutta MN 10 with Bhante Vimalaramsi

Here, Bhante gives his different perspective on what the Buddha taught when he gave the foundations of mindfulness. This sutta is looked at in a different way and leads to what he calls his development of the method of Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation and the 6Rs. It leads to the highest attainment of the spiritual life, Nibbana.
He explains that Breath Meditation is taught in the suttas in a slightly different way then is practiced by most meditators. Adding the Tranquilize step makes all the difference in the result. Sutta Translation by Bhikkhu Bodhi

Forgiveness Meditation Instructions by Bhante Vimalaramsi

Venerable Bhante Vimalaramsi has now created a powerful Forgiveness Meditation. When someone close to you dies and grief, and sometimes even guilt, arise afterwards, one seeks this kind of a meditation to reduce your suffering. This is just one example of unwholesome states that get stuck in your mind.

Additionally Bhante has found that when a student gets stuck in the Metta meditation and is making no progress he suggest the student to go through the Forgiveness Meditation. This enables them to remove the barriers that are there, and as a result, true warm sincere loving-kindness arises. Then the student moves back to the powerful Metta meditation that Bhante teaches.  A meditation that will take the student to awakening.
