00:00 Welcome
04:08 On the topic of... Memorable
33:12 In sitting meditation, should I start right away with "raising, falling, sitting, touching"? And after "touching" all the points, should I Start again, and so on until the hour ends?
34:21 Why do meditation teachers recommend meditators to note more touch points in addition to noting the primary object during meditation? Are there possible dangers of overly focusing on the primary object?
35:51 Would you please clarify the doubt relating to the precept of not killing in the case of eating vegetables and taking medicines to kill certain bacteria which doctors can see through the microscope?
39:06 When I do a mistake, I used to think a lot about it and it's kind of torturing my self. How do I forgive myself and stop thinking about my mistakes?
40:56 How does one be more empathetic toward others?
42:33 How can I avoid getting caught up in anger when interacting with others? I have a really insistent ego, and it is so intensely sad/angry that I always end up justifying the emotion.
43:58 In the booklet, you talk about not eating too much or too little. What should we not eat and when? Before or after meditation?
45:04 I have no desire to run after money, but my family expects me to do so. What should I do?
46:15 Is a life full of pleasure better than a life full of neutral consciousness? I am afraid of a having a boring life from lack of desire and sensation.
47:28 How do you know where to draw the line between being helpful and getting used by others? Can we be resourceful with our own energy without being egoistic?
50:06 As a beginner in meditation, I find it hard to concentrate and when noting, all that rises is negative thoughts. It is sometimes discouraging. How can I deal with this?
51:51 During meditation I felt a strange dark spiritual connection and things move around my room. Could this just be my imagination?
53:42 Is the Noble Eightfold Path (and Buddhist morality in general) a prerequisite to advancing your meditation or is it something that comes to you naturally as you advance in your practice?
56:06 Please explain why meditation helps you create compassion towards others.
1:00:34 How can we incline other beings, like a pet, towards Buddhism?
1:06:53 Sadhu...
