Listen Later

This is a compilation of the retreat led by Ajahn Amaro between 5-10 December 2022 at Deer Park Institute, IN.

Day 3b Q&A

00:10 Q1 Can the question you referred to (Who am I?), could be asked during infinite space or nothingness, the 5th jhana?

01:22 Q2 How does this practice help in the extreme scenarios we face in life – like in war – or day-to-day activities?
12:09 Q3 I really found the receptive aspect of loving kindness helpful and I’m wondering if the other three immeasurables also have this receptive quality.
20:29 Q4 You spoke about the 3 kinds of desire. In my study, I’ve heard that self-grasping / ignorance is the root of all these. Does that idea line up with the three types of desire you speak of?
25:23 Q5 Mingyur Rinchope speaks of a vertical and horizontal “gap” from the stream of thoughts. Does the Thai Forest tradition speak about this gap?
24:16 Q6 Is there much spoken about the “subjective clear, light mind” and “rigpa” in the Southern tradition?
28:48 Q7 What is the state of dreaming and where is consciousness at that time?
34:53 Q8 When ”I” consciousness dissolves, what is that expresses this experience? We have to make a temporary or onlooker self even if there is no self.
42:04 Q9 Don’t you think that organised religions/traditions fossilise the “I” rather than dissolve it?
