I found a discussion on the Dhamma Wheel forum about a Venerable Bhante called Buddhaparayana. According to some people the Bhante have discovered the hidden meaning of many Dhamma concept. He reject the false translation of Anapanasati and said Anapanasati is not about respiration but about Moral and Immoral thought. He also said that Rupa is the mental image of something. 

One of his claims.

” Now, if ānapāna means “breathing in and breathing out”, how can that lead to the completion of the four Satipatthānas, the seven bojjangas, removal of avijjā, and the attainment of Nibbāna? Can anyone seriously think that is possible?

Instead, ānapāna MEANS cultivating Satipatthāna, saptha bojjanga, etc., by “taking in morals” and “expelling immorals” as we discuss below.”

Teaching of Ven. Buddhaparayana (Sinhalese monk)

• Unfortunately, most of his sermons are in Sinhala. Could Sir Lal or someone who speaks Sinhala review this monk’s sermons to verify their accuracy?

Here is a sermon https://youtu.be/3vXRmCX6-Fs?si=ugHMK9KdTsgb4qS0

There are many people and bhikkhus delivering thousands of discourses like this. It is not necessary to listen to every one of them.

• The purpose of this forum is to discuss the posts on this website. I would be happy to answer questions about what I write. Discussing and especially analyzing discourses by others is not a good idea. Those questions should be directed to the person who delivered that specific discourse.
• If anyone has a specific question about an external discourse, I can look into that and provide my input if appropriate. Otherwise, please refrain from posting random external discourses.

No problem, Sir.
