Meditation Q&A, Jun 13th, 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
08:13 Is it ok to omit the "ing" after a mantra? Sometimes things happen too fast and I can't keep up with the full mantra?
09:11 Bhante, is it impossible to regret prioritising meditation over worldly oN co We
12:04 Bhante, please guide us on correct Buddhist conduct regarding current societal assertions. For example, "It's not enough to be quietly nonracist, now is the time to be vocally antiracist." Or, "To be silent is to be complicit."
19:32 Is enlightenment a form of awareness or is there more to it?
20:59 Bhante, how to be optimistic in all situations?
23:19 I saw the walking meditation video. Aside from noting the stepping of the foot, do we still note the other senses as well that we note in sitting meditation (thinking, seeing, the breath, etc)
24:15 Could mindfulness give rise to a heightened state of the present? Some activities, like rock climbing or sky diving, gives a heightened sense of the present.
25:10 Can you explain why meditating with no back support is more beneficial than lying down, for example?
28:07 Is it right action to speak out if you are witnessing another person or animal being harmed?
31:50 While meditating, my mind thinks of all the way people have had hurt me in the past and then my mind thinks of ways to hurt them which makes me upset and angry. How should I deal with this?
33:43 Bhante, is it possible to split the meditation time in two parts, the walking in the morning and the sitting in the evening, thank you
34:33 To help up with our meditation, of the Four Iddhipada, could Chanda be cultivated to be maintained at all times?
36:21 Is masturbation breaking the no sexual conduct precept?
37:13 In your walking meditation video, is your pace the optimal speed I should walk?
38:23 Can you throw some light on the parmitas
40:11 If one is doing mindful meditation does one note the difference in each thought or feeling beyond just in how we labeled them?
41:49 How common is it to experience a lot of emotion while new to meditating?
43:44 Is not wholesome actions and goodness as much of a temptation as lust ina Sensory desire perspective?
45:34 I want to continue to challenge myself, of course, but I'm extremely physically inflexible, at what point do I concede that I can't sit in the full lotus or maybe even the half-lotus?
46:41 Is there such thing as an advanced mediation method? Are long periods an example and also if on a shorter periods staying perfectly motionless?
47:50 What is Mindfulness, Bhante? Can you put it in a simple word?
49:02 I beat myself up over any apathy I give into no matter how minor, and I've just been very stressed. In contrast, nobody around me is taking it remotely as seriously, which is also stressful. Any advice
50:54 How to keep mindfulness outside of the sitting practice? I keep "falling" into traps such as "why can't my flatmate accept this minimalistic" style.
51:56 Your book mentions ‘right view' to combat suffering. How do you get right view for more effective meditatiing?
55:18 Is meditating on a problem that needs solving in your life valid?
57:15 How does one overcome a desire for tasty food?
58:52 Without years of experience what book do you recommend to read to be familiar with Buddhist terminology semantics for beginners
