What if you don't make stream entry in your Lifetime?

Hi there,

This question has appeared in my mind now multiple times:

If one doesn't succeed with achieving stream entry in this life, was it all in vain?

Of course, if you live and follow the skillful (layman) 8 fold path, you will accumulate, hopefully, a lot af merit for future life's, yet this in itself doesn't really mean much since you are still trapped in the endless cycle of Dhukka.

Further, you can't even know if you will be interested in Buddhism and topics of awakening in the next live(s), or at worst, be reborn in a time where there is no Dhamma at all.

What do you think on this, or are there Buddhist text's that I could read about this topic?

Anapanasati meditation - Visual chart and guide - v0.5

Hello everyone,

The last months I have made a serious deep dive into anapanasati meditation and the theory behind it. I noticed fast that there is a houmongus amount of information available, scattered everywhere. Yet what I didn't find was any clear visualizations of the whole process, customized to our time with added information on each step, something like a Visual Guide.

Therefore, I set out to make one myself!

The visualization is based on my own meditation experience, reputable sources (noted in the file) and also posts and data and experience found on the Internet which match the process.

My meditation practice consists of daily 1-3h of meditation, always doing Anapanasati, with added Meta meditation in the morning and night as warming up. I have reached the first Jhana a couple of times now, yet I am still not profound in accessing it at will. Currently I am training to perfect the first Jhana before continuing further.

Details

Version: 0.5_202605

The Guide is divided into two sections which can be separated and used individually as needed.

Left - Flow chart - The cheat sheet

The rest - The Detailed Roadmap

Starting left is a Flow waterfall chart which includes only the absolute minimum of information needed to get from Meditation Start to first Jhana. Hence the nickname The Cheat sheet. It's meant to be used by meditators who are already somewhat used to the steps and experiences.

The detailed Roadmap is the jewel and makes for 90% of the chart. Here you find the Meditation steps arranged in a waterfall chart with information on every single step as well as a phase breakdown with more information on the phase. I tried to stay as close as possible to the original information combined with my experience.

The point of the roadmap is to easily see where you are in your meditation process in terms of Nimatta and technique, with information explaining the each, and what's to do here to reach the next step in the Anapanasati meditation process

Attached I present you the file, hoping to get some feedback and further input & Ideas what I might implement in the graphic and make it better

Please enjoy and maybe leave some feedback.

Guten Tag Zusammen,

Wir sehen hier (und überall auf social) ja eine Flut an new age vibe codern die für wirklich jeden Furz eine supi-flupi "DEIN LEBEN WIRD NIE MEHR GLEICH SEIN " App bauen.

Soweit, so normal in Goldgräber Zeiten.

Nun stellt sich mir folgende Frage: wie kann dass legal sein?

Also ganz einfaches Beispiel:

Dieter hat eine Buchhaltungs und Steuer App geVibed, inklusive Pferderechnung natürlich, man ist ja modern!. Dieter weiß von Steuer und Buchhaltung im großen und ganzen ungefähr so viel wie meine Zimmerpflanze. Aber AI regelt ja. Es kann also nur schief gehen was da früher oder später rauskommt an Slop.

Dies hat für die Kunden/Kleine Unternehmer dann doch gravierende, monetäre Folgen wenns Finanzamt Mal vorbeischaut oder Vorgaben einfach nicht eingehalten werden und man juristische Probleme bekommt.

Daher die Fragen:

  • Gibt es keine Konsequenzen für Dieter denn VibeCoder bei Problemen?
  • Reicht ein " KeInE GeWähRleiStunG", "such dir einen PRO du depp" , in den AGB's schon aus um sich aus der Verantwortung zu ziehen und chillig Scheiss zu verticken?

Edit: wie von r/Business_Occasion226 angemerkt, es kommt ein neues Produkthaftungsgesetz das solche neuen Formen umfasst, Ende des Jahres soll es soweit sein. Hier mehr Infos: https://www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Gesetzgebungsverfahren/DE/2025_Produkthaftung.html
