Day 4d – Q&A
This is a compilation of the retreat led by Ajahn Amaro between 5-10 December 2022 at Deer Park Institute, IN.
Day 4d Q&A
00:10 Q1 When we take refuge, what are we taking refuge from?
00:48 Q2 The path is to end suffering. Why don’t we look at suffering and enquire what it is? Perhaps we will see it is our own creation and this may be easier than the longer way.
05:30 Q3 Is all sadness, all anger suffering or is suffering the feeling of being pulled down … into an ocean for example?
07:37 Q4 I am a retired soldier and I don’t have this kind of self-actualization, “who am I”, I don’t think we can ask in our profession. What advice can you give?
17:25 Q5 In Mahayana very oZen liberation is spoken of as a state of painlessness, fearlessness and “one taste”. What does the Pali tradition say about this apparent 24-7 blissful state?
24:32 Q6 What does it say in the Pali canon about Ananda giving Buddha this food? How is it interpreted in the Southern tradition?
27:30 Q7 You mentioned Ajahn Sumedho dealing with anger. When we deal with intense emo.ons is it a good way to exercise patience and endurance and use whatever practice works so you can skilfully navigate the situation?
29:56 Q8 I need a little clarity about consciousness beyond the simple meaning of awareness. Particularly in jhana practice, how does one understand infinite consciousness?
31:59 Q9 Regarding meditating on compassion, we are advised to expand it to all living beings. Do you have any advice? I find it difficult to engage with people I have never met.
36:32 Q10 Could you elaborate on the liberating relationships you spoke of? Put simply, my kids and grandchildren are overseas and I miss them. How can I deal with this beber?
