00:00 Welcome
02:25 On the topic of... Gaining Right View
24:27 I don't consume alcohol but my wife does. Am I breaching a precept if I buy it for her? I tried to explain to her it's negatives.
27:38 If you consume anti-parasitic medication, or for example treat your food before eating it (to kill worms), is that breaking the 1st precept? Or are they not sentient beings?
29:02 Can we focus on the dissolution occurring in each moment, and note “dissolution dissolution dissolution?"
30:00 Is it right to say that your teaching is to focus or to make an effort of being completely present in the now, and just notice the objects coming and going in the background?
30:51 During meditation, aren't we forcing the stomach into prominence when we return to it?
31:31 In walking meditation, when you get distracted, why is it recommended to note standing before noting whatever distracted you? Usually whatever distracted me is gone by then.
32:32 I notice many creative ideas and solutions come while meditating. Should these just be noted and let go of by returning to the breath or allowed to run their course?
33:33 If I've already done a retreat in a different tradition. Should I stick with that tradition until lam able to doa retreat in this tradition? I'm not seeing much progress despite a lot of practice.
37:14 I notice I can spend to much time finding the word to describe my experience during meditation that I feel I lose focus on the experience. Any advice for this?
39:27 How could I get help with my practice? I feel tingling sensations when I meditate - walking, sitting, all postures, but the mind pulls out after 40 or 50 minutes and I can't go deeper.
40:58 Should one seek experiential evidence of unwholesome deeds to be able to let go of them, or is the practice enough to understand the reality?
42:06 I sometimes completely forget about the object of meditation and move to a completely different object. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?
43:27 In a previous video you said we Should not worry or think too much about enlightenment, but is it not important to have the concept of striving to live in a non-inferior manner?
45:50 Is metta recommended for social anxiety?
47:56 Is the concept of Enlightenment different in different traditions and religions or is it the same?
48:24 What happens if you note what is *not* most prominent? Is it still effective to any extent?
50:04 When I sit to meditate, I get flashbacks of past traumatic experiences I had..it scares me..and I feel vulnerable throughout the day afterwards. When I try to ignore, I feel numb. How do I help myself?
51:51 Sadhu...
