Day 6b Q&A

00:08 Q1 You said arahants can feel happiness without attachment, also that happiness is suffering in disguise, and that it also comes from giving. Are these all different forms of happiness?

05:47 Q2 I’ve read a lot of Persian poetry, especially Attar of Nishapur and Rumi. There, I read that “desire” for union pushes you forward and is actually the path to libera/on. But the Second Noble Truth says that we have to get rid of desire/craving. Can you speak to this, please?
15:01 Q3 Frequently I find some annoying behaviour by friends that I think I have processed and let go of returns if, for example, they renew their teasing at a future meeting.
19:18 Q4 Whatever we see or experience has happened some/me back. It seems we don’t partake in anything that happens around us. This is discomforting. Can you comment, please?
27:13 Q5 Can you speak about how Mahayana and Theravada look at the idea of the second turning of the wheel?
34:00 Q6 What is the difference between the two types of concentration the Buddha had, one when he was studying with his two teachers and his experience under the tree watching his father?
