Meditation Q&A, July 8th, 2020
This talk / Q&A was originally posted on Ven. Yuttadhammo Bhikkhu’s YouTube Channel. To watch it on YouTube kindly click here.
00:00 Start
05:25 How to Meditate Booklet: https://htm.sirimangalo.org/
09:49 In order to observe something we suspend judgment. We don't say "it is bad", but do we mark it as unwholesome if it is? Do we need the intention to eradicate it?
13:20 Bhante, what should I label when seeing? eye, object, eye consciousness, feeling or thought? How to Meditate Booklet: https://htm.sirimangalo.org/
13:57 Is there a way to stabilize mindfulness - so mindfulness mental state lasts for longer time?
15:00 What is the best way to start meditation for people who are not used to it? How to Meditate Booklet: https://htm.sirimangalo.org/
15:58 How do you find inner peace?
18:23 How can we determine which crimes and misdeeds in our past (specifically before discovering Buddhism) we should confess to?
22:21 What should one focus on during meditation? I understand breathing is a start but for further more developed practice what should one focus on?
23:18 When using the mantra, how do you prioritize when there is too much phenomena? Sometimes hearing and thinking tend to clash and there is too much going on.
24:22 Can a lay person manage to end all of life's sufferings by meditating, or rather to stop suffering from them?
25:24 Are the heart practices (Brahma-viharas) a Samatha or Vipassana practice?
26:04 I don't want my at home meditation course to end and can't come to Canada during the pandemic. Is it possible to do an intensive course at home or continue to meet and learn from you once it's done?
30:25 If I desire to accomplish a goal later in life, is that desire healthy?
31:13 Is it necessary to renunciate the world to pursue enlightenment or is possible to be involved in the system while having a full spiritual awareness/disposition?
32:58 Bhante, what is clear knowing (Sampajanna)
35:03 When chanting a mantra, should I try to attempt the original Pali or do it in my native English?
36:18 What is the best way to live within capitalist society and make ends meet if we give up materialism how do we get by?
40:00 Bhante, when I forget my doubts about meditation I understand it or I simple forget.
40:14 How do we investigate the body using 4 elements?
41:42 How much meditation a day is enough?
43:25 Since words are essentially concepts how is it that noting helps facilitate mindfulness rather than error?
46:06 Which meditation is better? Samatha or Vipassana? Am I wasting my efforts if I do one or the other?
47:42 Can you awaken to blissful love through meditation?
48:50 What vitakka and vicara are? How do you notice their effect? What's the difference about practicing with or without them?
49:15 What is the purpose of life if existence is a delusion and the goal is to awaken from the dream of this existence?
49:24 End
