"(00:00) What is the relation of wisdom and compassion?"

"(09:21) How to work with obsessive thoughts, fantasies, and memories that arise during the day?"

"(016:24) How to let go of a strong attachment to a person that causes pain?"

"(22:58) I can't let go of my feelings. I just stay with them until they vanish. How to live through this pain?"

"(26:55) Can one gain a fortunate rebirth in a Buddha pure land, like Sukavati, if one has not attained stable trekchö in this lifetime as a human being?"

"(28:21) If you can gain rebirth in a pure land, how could this happen in the bardo?"

"(30:49) How does tummo support trekchö?"

"(32:04) In sickness, is there a balance between seeking remedies — orthodox or holistic medicine — and just being with what is and allowing whatever condition is present to find its own healing movement?"

"(41:06) Somebody has sent a quotation from Padmasambhava. When he was born, he made this statement: "My father is Samantabhadra and my mother is Samantabhadri." These are the two forms we see in sexual union — the united form of the primordial Buddha. "I belong to the family of nonduality, of the sphere of awareness. My name is the Glorious Lotus-Born. I consume concepts of duality as my diet. I am the unborn sphere of all phenomena." What does it mean?"
