  1. @Anthony Gosal I read Buddhism for Dummies 2e by Jonathan Landaw a few months ago and it gave me a really solid introduction with key terms, concepts, beliefs, practices and mythology. It also described the major branches of Buddhism and how they differ from one another. It is written by Buddhist practitioners, not just academics. I highly recommend it. Tangent: What is a problem?
  2. When the source of all suffering becomes obvious to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg&nohtml5=False
  4. @Teags Allow everything to be as it is. Then the mind wont really have a problem to solve. It will slow down a lot. Then being aware of thoughts as they are happening will be completely natural. You won't have to "try" to watch thoughts. This might not happen immediately, but it happens.

    Flexibility for those postures should come from the hips. You can try doing hip flexibility stretches. Otherwise just use a chair or a stool without back support so you don't fall asleep. I wouldn't keep doing it if it's hurting your knees. They are inherently weak joints and not easy to fix if you have an accident.
  6. @WhatAmI I also like this video. Mooji covers some more aspects of this.
