Experience 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
01:24 On the topic of... Experience
24:04 If a view or opinion spontaneously arises in the mind all at once, how should I note it? It doesn't feel like I'm actively thinking something through, so maybe "knowing" instead of "thinking"?
25:07 When I acknowledge and see that I can’t know what will happen the very next moment, there Is a big letting-go. Is that the correct understanding of what "non-self" means? Or is there something else?
29:04 When focusing on the rising and falling of the stomach, and specifically when waiting for the rising, why is it recommended to note "sitting"? Doesn't that distract from the upcoming "rising"?
30:58 What is your advice for practicing walking meditation while experiencing things such as nausea? I find it very difficult and tend to switch to lying-down to meditate.
31:35 Can someone with deep-rooted trauma practice meditation, or will it make things worse?
35:27 Is walking a more "samatha-like" meditation than sitting, since you are trying to maintain focus on the feet, and stopping only for bigger distractions?
35:52 Is it discouraged to do shorter meditation sessions throughout the day if necessary / practical? Surely not but I can't get this notion out my mind. Should we not just do as much as we can?
37:53 Could you elaborate more on "experiencing dhamma as dhamma"? I have difficulty in understanding this term, especially when it refers to other things other than "teachings".
39:38 How does one know that one is making progress in meditation?
43:47 Is it ever advisable to lie to avoid potential harm?
44:21 In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha talks about the third one as seeing the different qualities of mind, but in our practice it is seeing thoughts clearly. Why the difference?
48:47 I've been practicing Vipassana meditation on sensation and Anapana, but nowadays it's difficult to practice regularly. I've been going through this new job transition and I couldn't sit for four days. Any advice?
50:00 In my country, it is very taboo to be too generous. Do you know a way to train for a generous mind without involving other people?
55:39 Do you have any advice / experience with removing drain gnats (or maybe they're fruit flies) humanely? I have some in my shower and sink in my bathroom.
56:54 What precautions should be taken by people with mental health issues, i.e. past trauma, when learning meditation?
59:35 Sadhu...
