Dependent Origination (With Q&A)
This talk / Q&A was originally posted on Ven. Yuttadhammo Bhikkhu’s YouTube Channel. To watch it on YouTube kindly click here.
00:00 Welcome
02:18 On the topic of... Dependent Origination
26:15 Is there a way to see and note (even for just a moment) that consciousness arises and falls? for example, eye consciousness starts and then stops and then starts again.
27:54 When being mindful, is it right effort to let your attention wander freely and just look at intentions of controlling your attention as just feeling or wanting?
30:26 I started to let go and it is a very nice feeling. Sometimes it's hard to meditate and I think of not meditating more. Should I not do it too much? I have a feeling that my life is turning around because of meditation.
32:05 Sometimes the mind lingers on sitting or touching for several seconds. Is it appropriate to note sitting or touching multiple times, or after noting once should I try to move to the next?
32:28 When doing walking meditation, my opposite heel begins raising before my toes grip the ground. Is pace/tempo important?
33:05 My grandmother is dying in one or two days. What's the best of the best I can do for her? How can I be the best support for my father too? I live in a different country right now.
34:55 I can have huge emotional feelings left over from strong dreams, how do I not get lost in dreams?
35:41 Why does avijja arise and how can we note it while practicing?
37:12 Sometimes since meditation breaks many concepts even of self, I am left with void. How to note that?
38:51 How could I do an intensive practice to achieve results as soon as possible?
40:23 During sitting meditation I can notice the rising of the belly, but often I can't notice the falling. What can I do to notice the rising and falling both clearly?
41:39 My life right now feels so uncertain and overwhelming that I feel like giving up. I dont see a way out. I have been meditating but my situation wont improve from that alone. What do I do?
44:29 How do I note when there is nothing to note?
45:03 There is a lot of worry and even fear arising and sometimes I even don't know the reason why. Is it enough to just note it or can I do something else?
47:05 During meditation, at what level should we stop noting?
47:28 How many hours does one meditate In an intensive course? What would be the minimum amount of days that would be reasonable? I am considering trying it but I'm also scared of it being too hard.
52:32 What is the first step for somebody looking to get into meditation? It can be intimidating for a newcomer.
54:40 I live with my parents and meditation changed something. I feel uncomfortable when I'm with them because the atmosphere is not always nice. What can I do when I cannot avoid them?
56:26 What's the difference between the ways we approach the distractions in insight and concentration meditations?
58:10 How should one work on all-encompassing conceit?
58:50 Does the state of mind at the point of death determine the rebirth destination or if we are reborn? Does the intention and act of taking your life with an unprepared mind inevitably lead to bad rebirths?
