00:00 Welcome

01:18 On the topic of... Religion, Science, Culture
31:41 Answered by priority I. Meditation practice II. Buddhist theory III. Everything else
33:29 Meditation has helped to reduce anger in me, but I notice that restlessness and worry are still big part of me. I am 22 years old and maybe is it because of my age. How can I work on these feelings?
38:06 What is your advice on mindfulness during studying? How should one go about it?
39:19 Is it proper to start moving very slightly before noting the said movement so as to make sure you're not noting too soon?
39:45 Can one practice Mahasi noting 24 hours? Is it healthy?
40:40 When practicing meditation and old ingrained scriptures arise what should one do?
41:04 How can we correctly leave noticed phenomena unnoted in the interest of not jumping around too much, but also note whatever arises? Is the balance sort of arbitrary or figured out through practice?
43:12 If I know that I was previously craving for example, or disliking, or experienced anxiety etc. etc.., do I note "knowing" (that I experienced something but didn't note it right away)?
44:14 Is it a good thing to use coffee to make my meditation more productive by improving my concentration if, say, I have just finished work and my mind is feeling lazy/tired?
46:19 If you practice noting and it gets to be boring to keep noting, should you force yourself to note or continue without noting or just one in a while?
49:02 Noting has made me less able to sleep but I don't feel tired. Is this normal?
50:19 Would chanting itipiso 108 times a day help me in mindfulness practice as well? Can I do both kinds of meditation i.e. mindfulness and recollection of the Buddha?
53:59 Would you contrast the noting and the scanning techniques in the Burmese schools of Vipassana?
