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

Day 3f Q&A

00:24 Q1 In the enquiry we are doing there are moments of recognition, let’s say, out of our usual conditioned responses, but then always a tendency to identify what that moment is. That attempt doesn’t go anywhere. Is it because that moment of recognition is not recognisable through the five senses?

9:32 Q2 If I summarise my enquiry for myself: “What am I at this present time?”, is this a good instruction to carry with me?
14:08 Q3 Working through the understanding of not me, not my body, etc there is still this feeling that “I know”. In terms of stream-entry, is that “I know” still possible?
23:03 Q4 I would like to know more about what the Buddha said about the liberation of the heart as well as the process of liberation from passion. Can you say more about this process? What about the process between death and the next birth?
34:57 Q5 How does our investigation of non-self relate to such issues in conventional reality, such as the problem of climate change?
41:57 Q6 I meet a lot of Buddhists who seem to focus exclusively inwards. Is there a reason for that and is there something we should do to guard against it?
44:55 Q7 You wrote: “That which is threatening to the ego is liberating to the heart.” Can you elaborate on that?
54:23 Q8 Can fear be a catalyst for liberation?
