00:00 Welcome
00:35 On the topic of... Perspectives
39:34 Why are liking and lust considered a bad thing, for meditation? Should we renounce all the beauty of the world? Even watching the beauty of nature in a sunrise?
44:03 I have experienced a feeling of noting "itching" so intensely, it actually stopped the "disliking" that would usually follow.. What was it? A resonance of deep concentration or what? How to note this?
45:22 I don't have any meditation teachers In my area. Can you recommend one that is willing to Zoom chat me?
47:05 What is the cause of effort? In bad times, I can put much effort, while in good times, I fall in laziness! Where exactly can be a little doable step?
48:10 Is it true that we are manipulating the rising and falling unless we are enlightened? I believe this and I am often aware of it when noting rising and falling. Should I note it or can I just ignore it?
49:24 What can be done about sleep disorders?
52:57 It seems like I automatically wait until I can note "sitting" (because I sometimes don't recognize it for a time) before I allow my stomach to rise. How should I handle this?
53:33 If I recognize that I'm disliking something but seemingly simultaneously recognize it as wanting it to go away, can I just choose one of "disliking" or “wanting" and focus on it?
54:08 Should I practice online in your tradition, or should I practice in a tradition which teachings and teachers I am doubtful of, but has a meditation center near me?
56:31 I struggle with race. Every time I see the conflict between peoples of different races on social media it causes anguish. How do I cultivate mindfulness outside formal meditation times?
58:34 Why is it that all monks who became arahants in suttas, immediately exclaimed “noting” that everything that has a nature to arise has a nature to cease?
1:00:15 Do you have any advice regarding feeling guilty or like I'm regressing or back to Square one everytime I don't meditate for awhile? Just be mindful of the guilt, the feeling that I'm regressing, etc.?
1:01:26 Do you have any advice or thoughts on objectless meditation?
1:02:11 The ultimate goal in practicing Vipasanna breathing meditation is to experience Nibanna. Can you explain that moment of experience?
1:03:47 When in an environment that is not conducive to peace, should we strive to leave even if this will, in the short-term, create more stress, or should we remain passive and continue practicing?
1:05:57 How do you meditate on or obtain a glimpse of non-self? I am aware that it must not be sought-after, but how do you know that you are in the right direction?
1:09:28 Do I have to note? What's wrong with seeing a thing without labeling it?
1:11:06 Can you elaborate on "cessation" in Vipasanna meditation? What ceases?
1:11:57 Which teacher is better to teach mind purification: Dhamma niyama teacher or citta niyama teacher?
