00:00 Welcome
02:22 On the topic of Aparihaniya
16:13 When I'm meditating, sometimes I think about my mom's suffering from her illness and I end up becoming emotional. I cry. Do I Simply note the feeling? Or stop and continue when it's gone?
17:28 How should one approach "wanting" to be mindful? Is this considered a hindrance and should it be noted? I noticed it in meditation the other day.
18:18 I don't have a private spot to meditate in my mom's apartment. Would it be weird to just go into my bathroom and try meditating?
22:02 I just became a Buddhist. Would it be useful to come out to my family about this? They're heavily Christian.
24:03 What happens on your online course?
25:08 How can we regain the motivation to practice if we've been away from the practice for a while?
25:56 Sometimes I do sitting meditation first. Is this ok?
26:26 Can we take a second at-home course because of the extenuating circumstances? Since there's no possibility to go on retreat for me and I feel I could use some guidance.
27:47 Sometimes when I know things, I get stuck on what I noted rather than focusing on the rising and falling. Should I move past this or just practice?
28:29 The only time I find my mind can stay with meditation, is when I am noting pain. Is this common?
29:47 Should a Buddhist diet consist of veganism only?
30:04 Can we see rising of the stomach as arising and ceasing, and falling as arising and ceasing?
31:06 What chants would be useful to chant if one can't note?
31:26 How long should one wait before attempting to ordain as a monk?
32:14 Should I be concerned that because of some unwholesome past deeds, I was born into a society that is oblivious of the Buddha's teaching and/or lacks a Sangha?
33:34 I find it useful to do the Wim Hof method of breathing before meditating. It gets me a bit more relaxed. Is this ok to use in conjunction with my meditation?
34:33 During meditation I get so calm and serene and I am left with nothing to note. What next?
35:01 I've been dealing with sloth for months. What should I note to get out of this lazy mindstate?
35:46 Could the first jhana arise during the practice of insight meditation?
36:41 How large of a hinderance are Athletics/Martial Arts to meditative progress?
37:56 Could every physical pain be overcome by insight meditation?
38:30 Should we do other meditations too or is vipassana all we must do?
39:15 What view should be taken lust?
39:51 When noting, should we differentiate between doubt in the practice or doubt about the Dhamma and, for example, the most extreme opposite, doubt about useless worldly things?
40:37 Would you recommend doing vipassana before samatha or the samatha first?
41:05 When I meditate, my perception of reality becomes sometimes distorted. Is this normal?
42:03 When we meditate enough, we hopefully will find the middle way. But that seems like a bland pointless place to be, so I find motivation to meditate hard. Am I completely wrong about middle way?
43:03 Where Is the first place to begin when starting the journey?
44:00 How big of a hindrance to meditation progress is learning a musical instrument? How about reading classic books?
45:37 I have trouble when I meditate. It feels like the feeling in my feet lock up. May I have some advice?
46:11 How can I understand and get rid of lust?
46:37 I have schizophrenia and am on medication. I meditate. Do you think I could handle the symptoms (delusions) without medication?
48:48 What do we do if we get music stuck in our head? I note it, but the "song" does not go away and it can get very annoying, making me frustrated.
49:35 What would be a good reason to read the Visuddhimagga?
51:03 Sadhu...
