Meditation Q&A, May 16, 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
10:06 Just to clarify, is it ever appropriate to let's say you’re "seeing" or hearing someone in your mind as you are thinking to note "seeing" rather than "thinking" or do we always note "thinking"?
12:56 Should noting continue all day?
15:32 My girlfriend left me after 3 years for somebody else, how do I deal with the feelings I have?
17:19 Is labeling mental qualities more important than labeling anything else - since Buddha asked to see mental qualities in both sati and dhammavicaya?
20:38 Sothi bhante, How to deal with seeing people as entities and non entities as a beginner meditator?
24:31 How can I deal with repetitive intrusive thoughts?
29:14 Bhante, as a Theravada Buddhist, other Theravada Buddhists are hundreds of miles away... How could I get some community feeling other than forums that are often only places of idle chatter?
31:52 How does chanting affect meditation?
34:35 Can ego have a positive role in life?
39:26 How do I know I am progressing in my practice? Sometimes I doubt that this is the right way? Simply seeing as it is.
46:38 Is the view that “anger lust and delusion should be uprooted” an attachment? Can it stop me from developing mindfulness?
52:31 Bhante, lust comes back again and again, feeling demotivated after the excitement ends.
54:10 Should you refute negative thoughts?
55:06 When walking meditation do you say seeing as you have to look where you're going?
56:09 Is it possible to love without attachment, desire, or clinging?
58:35 I'm using a metronome app a lot to facilitate noting between sense doors or to alternate focusing in and then expanding the attention to the whole sense sphere. Potential drawbacks?
59:34 Sometimes I am scared that the practice will not produce any beneficial results. I know to note the doubt, but what if I’m right? When does one decide it’s not worth it?
1:01:00 I want to read the buddhist texts. Are they available in english?
1:04:59 I've a thought & bad feeling that arises every time I am mindful. Mix of doubt about practicing correctly, judgment for only just becoming mindful now, fear that this thought will never stop arising.
1:06:37 What would you say are the benefits of doing the “at home course” in comparison with just practicing at home and watching videos like yours?
