  • Ajahn Sucitto: Q&A
    (Palilai Buddhist Temple) Q1 In samadhi, kāyasankhāra unifies with cittasankhāra. In this state what does the citta feel like? 16:25 Q2 Having associated wanting with a negative connotation I have been habitually suppressing my wants/ desires so sometimes it is hard to know what I want when it comes to important decisions. 31:41 Q3 During meditation is it OK to let my body move back and forth as I feel being pulled by a subtle energy flow. 33:00 Q4 Regarding death practice, do you have any advice? 39:52 Q5 When one becomes too comfortable in walking it becomes monotonous and the mind becomes dull but that’s not what we want, right? Any suggestions? 43:07 Q6 How do we practice dhamma in our daily life, especially in a hectic environment?

How can we be sure to tell true dhamma from false dhamma. 37:30 Q5 How can we spread positive energy in a toxic environment? 43:11 Is it normal to feel wobbly / unbalanced during walking meditation?

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Q&A
    (Palilai Buddhist Temple) Q1 You mentioned there are also other bodies such as the energy and emotional body and others. Could you elaborate please? 22:02 Q2 How does a sotapanna / stream enterer still have conceit as a fetter if they have uprooted self view? 36:11 Q3 It seems there is a very strong “not enough” mind. Not still enough, not calm enough, not practicing enough. How can I shift this negativity to a more positive chanda / motivation? 41:41 Q4 How can we measure our spiritual progress?

From the publisher's feed

As a monk, I bring a strong commitment, along with the renunciate flavor, to the classic Buddhist teachings. I play with ideas, with humor and a current way of expressing the teachings, but I don't dilute them.
