00:00 Welcome
01:31 Topic of the Dhamma Talk: Freedom
32:15 Sometimes pain is so overwhelming that I find it very distracting to sit with & accept it. Should I sit everytime I feel pain? How can I accept pain and not resist it?
33:49 I have some very negative thoughts all the time. How do you stop this way of thinking?
37:38 Should I label the lasting sensations like subtle vibrations or heartbeats, or is it enough just to be aware of them?
38:44 How should we deal with clinging to expectations about a meditation session? Also, what precautions should be taken to also avoid clinging to the teachings and obsessing about them?
41:34 I noticed that being tempted from lust and loneliness is a very immense hinderance for me from free thoughts. How do you deal with this through meditation?
42:52 I’ve often heard the term "Beginner’s Mind" used. Would this be something to incorporate in my meditation practice?
45:26 How do you find the greater pleasure in meditation that will give you reason not to go back to the sense pleasure realm?
48:36 How useful is feeling shame? When you lie, you should feel shame so you know that it is not the right thing to do, right? What about shame in general? Should we notice it as shame during meditation?
51:39 Does our ability to be mindful fortify the mind the more we practice, or is it similar to building muscle, wherein one can lose their mindfulness quickly without consistent practice?
52:46 At what point in the meditation practice can the study of text become useful? I'm concerned about encountering something that will cause doubt to arise.
54:19 How could I start a habit to make me meditate more often?
56:23 How does one deal with parents that are manipulative? I do sometimes have empathy for them even though they hurt me, but I feel like the more they are involved in my life the more suffering.
1:00:15 I can't maintain my concentration for more than 5 minutes while meditating. What's the way to maintain concentration while meditating?
1:02:33 How does one overcome the fear of losing someone that you love very much?
1:03:08 What practice can I begin today so that gradually I may start moving towards the ultimate goal of this human life?
1:07:54 Sadhu...
