Meditation 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
02:56 Meditate Together
19:48 What does it mean to note with discernment? Does discernment mean absence of thoughts?
22:16 For one who is not scholarly, or one who is not inclined towards studying the scriptures, is it correct to say that their faith in the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha can ‘guide’ their practice?
26:41 How should we be mindful of having fun? Is it technically a combination of “happy” and “liking”?
27:38 Someone told me I should not do meditation because I am not spiritually stable and that demons can attach to me because of this. What is your advice about this?
32:38 I have moved to a different country due to a demanding job so I stopped the course in the 1Oth week. I could not practice 2 hours a day anymore. Would it be possible to get back on track and finish the course?
34:27 Is noting ‘liking’, ‘calm’ and ‘disliking’ equivalent to the experiences of pleasant, neutral and unpleasant?
37:42 I often feel inferior to other people or ashamed of myself because of constant comparison and low self-esteem. What is the proper way to note this?
41:49 How do I note or choose what to note when the sensations get very fast? Sometimes I don't have the time to say the words in my mind.
43:25 How do we make the jump to avoiding the pitfalls that taper the benefits of meditation while we don't have the wisdom to make some of these jumps outside of the intellectual? Is there a leap of faith?
49:23 I'm starting to note in-between the segments of walking/sitting meditation, for example “rising-hearing-falling-hearing". Is this correct, or am I not staying with the sensations?
49:59 When returning to the stomach, Should we note ‘waiting’ while waiting for the rising?
50:15 Many times the path seems to take away from pleasureable experiences (that one equates with happiness). I find myself having resentment, doubts. Should I take them as doubt and anger, or something else?
51:41 Sometimes I feel I'm missing out on potential benefits since I very rarely note the rising and falling with continuity. I almost feel like I'm noting the stomach less as I continue. Do you have any advice?
52:56 When I manage to detach myself from worldly things, in a short time this attachment returns with much more intensity, as if they were avenging. For what Is this? How to prevent it?
55:19 I used to get so calm in meditation that I could see all thoughts coming before they come. I have lost that ability and my mind is constantly so noisy now. Any advice?
57:37 How do I become mindful of emotion of worry if it is intertwined with thoughts and I have trouble separating one from the other?
58:26 Sadhu...
