Dreaming of Reality with Lama Alan Wallace – Day 3 Session 3
The first 25min of this video is exceptionally Golden, but if you watch more than that, dont feel bad, the entire teaching is a Grand Slam.
I was really blown away by the fact that using deep meditative practices, insights about ones past lives can be obtained. (And this was done well before the time of the Buddha!)
Hoping this thread will be a place to share materials and resources on Past Lives, and the meditation techniques used to get insights on them.
" In-Yun is a Korean word that describes the idea of fated paths that connect two people across their past and future lives. It’s a concept that’s rooted in Buddhism and reincarnation. In-yun is often used to describe the idea that even a small interaction between two strangers, like brushing clothes, could mean that they’ve interacted in a past life"

youtube comment:
““Even simply brushing clothes with someone is fate” (옷깃만 스쳐도 인연) is an old Korean proverb that means every interaction between you and another person—even a stranger on the street—is never an accident, but rather the elaborate result of your past lives and theirs intertwining to make that momentary interaction happen. And if even the most seemingly trivial of interactions are the result of elaborate workings of fate (인연), then something as significant as meeting the love of your life is the result of 8000 겁 of fate. This is a commonly known Buddhist teaching. 겁 (Gup) is a measurement of time. Imagine a massive boulder, and imagine that a single raindrop falls on that boulder once every 1000 years. The amount of time it would take for the boulder to finally crack from the water droplets is 1 겁. A single 겁 is an unfathomably long period of time, so 8000 겁 is something that’s hard to even attempt to imagine. The saying goes that for every married couple, there’s at least 8000 겁 of 인연 (fate) from their past lives that led them to each other.”
