Q&A:

1. It is hard to see the suffering of things that give pleasure, how would come see it to be suffering?

2. Most of us don´t have the good enough kamma to get ordained and practice in the monastery.. i think there's the sadness from there...

3. Sometimes I feel that it’s only when I’m on the limit of my suffering that I fully accept the here an now, and I feel liberated… but in the meanwhile it’s harder.

4. How do we cultivate this presence, awareness, acceptance, while being with others, while being into action, while deciding, while taking our place into a group…
