Essence (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
01:43 On the topic of Essence
26:04 Why is mindfulness difficult to sustain?
28:10 Why do thoughts come while meditating?
29:21 How can one strengthen determination?
29:48 I have felt that noting “seeing” or “thinking” has implied a purposeful sense of control and have started to note "not trying to hear or see" when noting my experience to be mindful of nonself. Is this ok?
32:12 Sometimes I worry about what happens after I die. Should I be worrying about this?
35:03 Should we calm and relax first in our meditation? I find myself not relaxed or calm like if I do breathing meditation.
37:42 Do you feel energy (viriya) when you are noting? Is it energy (viriya) that allows you to keep noting the whole day?
39:06 How can we decide which difficulties we should fight and which should be left for a different path?
40:11 Can satipatthana meditation help to be reborn in heaven?
42:02 When I feel concentrated my body will do odd things. Sometimes my face will twitch very rapidly, too rapidly to note each sensation. How does one note when the senses are quickly presenting like this?
43:01 Are things that we think are out of our control like specific behaviors or reactions really just an illusion or a ego concept as well?
44:48 What is the difference between sila and right effort?
46:42 Is it good practice to stop directed thinking and evaluation as much as possible?
47:31 I have a severe porn addiction and I have tried everything but it doesn't seem to go away. What's your advice?
49:43 What does a person do if they have severe homicidal thoughts or the passion to harm things?
50:50 What is a good goal for the day that I should set?
51:58 What are the long-term effects of noting on meditation?
53:29 Sadhu...
