Karma (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
00:27 On the topic of... Karma
34:59 How do you handle noting multiple feelings at once? If you just note one you're ignoring the other. And when do you go back to the rising/falling noting?
36:51 When we stop walking to note "distractions", should we close our eyes or keep them open?
37:34 Why are the notes "stopping" and “standing” repeated 3 times?
37:50 When pouring water in a cup, do I note "pouring" and observe the water flowing down, or do I note the “tilting"/"gripping" of my hand onto the bottle and observing the position/movement of the hand?
39:29 My main issue right now in the practice, work, and home chores is the procrastination. From what I see, making resolutions helps but still it's a hell. How could I face this situation?
44:58 How do I counter the restlessness that comes with impatience and awareness of time during meditation and that prevents me from sitting for longer periods of time?
47:19 While meditating I start to see reality as compartmentalized. What stage of insight would this be? How do I move forward past this stage?
48:03 How can we see pain and thoughts clearly? For example, when noting pain the mind instantly jumps to aversion. How does seeing something clearly help to overcome it?
50:22 Why must I note when I go into deep joyful meditation?
51:37 Is it Right View that "nothing happened to me in the past; nothing is about to happen to me in the future; only this is currently happening"?
52:05 While doing walking practice I notice when I note "distracted distracted" there is judgement too that I'm always distracted. Any advice?
52:33 Sometimes my inhales and exhales are prominent so I note and observe it rather than the rising or falling. Is that proper? I remember something about how the breath is just a concept and isn't real.
53:57 How do I know when I should adjust my leg position? Should I at all if I am diligently noting the numb leg even though it interrupts the rising and falling sequence?
54:29 Since Buddha recommended seclusion for intensive practice, is it correct to conclude worldly dealings with people are bad for practice?
55:30 If in daily life we note starting with our posture In order to calm ourselves, does it follow to say that we should ground ourselves in formal meditation if we find that we are very lacking in calm?
56:28 If I note, for example, "Calm, calm..." the calmness soon goes away and I am left with the mantra only. Does this sound correct, or does it sound like I am giving the mantra too much prominence?
57:13 When I meditate sometimes my mind is cleared of all thoughts and feelings for a very short period of time. Is this a good thing or just another mind trick?
58:52 I've noticed that if I use noting meditation only my mood is lower during the day than if I add a metta meditation. What's the impact of practising both in the longer term?
1:00:37 How can we understand what you're saying while also being mindful of hearing, sitting, etc.?
1:02:15 When walking in a place, for example the supermarket, other than noting “walking", how do we note what Is actually leading us there? Is it the intention or wanting or what?
1:03:00 How should I note involuntary movements like twitching? Is it enough to note them after they happen, or should they be ignored because there was no intent behind them?
1:03:31 I have practised meditation for one and a half years. I still get very stressed in regards to my job. The difference is now that i know that I'm stressed. How can I go the next step - and reduce the feeling of overwhelming stress?
