00:00 Welcome
00:22 Meditation Q&A
17:16 Sometimes I get surprised, and my mind gets excited a lot - and this comes into meditation. I can observe this state, but why am I not able to contain the excitement at that very moment?
23:33 How do I increase a sense of urgency? I'm depressed, lonely, in a rut, but I just don't feel the fear, the terror, that once had brought me into Buddhism. How to stop this torpor, this nihilistic apathy?
25:55 When a song repeats on loop in our head, should we note singing or listening, because it seems to be both?
26:59 How do sankharas of past life manifest in the present life? How does the practice help in getting rid of sankharas of past life?
32:29 I do the risings and fallings. I also do the body scan. Were they both taught by the Buddha?
36:42 There is a carpet in the middle of my path when doing walking meditation. How should I notice when stepping in the small bump where the carpet begins?
38:13 I've been meditating for a year but I can't meditate for more than 15-20 minutes max. How do I increase the duration of my sessions?
39:10 How important is it to keep the precepts, and how would the practice of someone who keeps the precepts differ from someone who practices without keeping the precepts?
40:58 Now that I meditate I see that I am this conciousness. Am I this conciousness If there is no self?
43:24 In what proportion should time be invested in the practice and study of Buddhism?
44:56 When one gets angry, at that instant, I don't want to be mindful. How does one change this attitude?
46:23 When we leave the primary object to note a distraction, do we finish noting the last rising or falling before the distraction?
47:52 Why do images from movies and online videos come back to my mind constantly? Does it happen to everyone? Is my mind very weak? A strong meditator doesn't have this problem, correct?
50:31 Are dreams directly correlated with a busy mind?
51:23 Life is nothing more important or meaningful than risings and fallings. Is this correct?
53:10 I'm being mindful more and more lately. How do I keep up with daily life and planning while also always being mindful in moment?
1:00:40 Sadhu...
