Q3 - Were there only 28 Buddhas?
Q4 - Is is true that in the past lifespan was as much as 40,000 years?
Q5 - A lioness killing an animal for food vs a poacher killing an animal to make money - do they accrue the same amount of bad kamma? And, will the lioness be reborn as a human in the future after killing so many animals?
Q6 - How do you guide a child who is hyper, even to calm down and listen?

45 min - BUDDHA'S ADVICE ON HOW TO SUCCEED AT LEARNING & EXAMS (FULL DHAMMA SESSION, Poya)
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
*** Apologies for the uneven audio sound levels - this is mainly due to this session being recorded live and then with final editing***
Instruction and guidance on HOW TO MEDITATE TO OVERCOME THE FIVE HINDRANCES as the basis for the "BUDDHA'S ADVICE ON HOW TO SUCCEED AT LEARNING AND EXAMS".
It is applicable to educational, skill-based, job-related, sports-related and other forms of learning and exams. More importantly, it is very useful towards the learning and practice on the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path, and the ultimate test that we all will face.

In this full session we:
- - introduce the session with an outline of what will be covered
- - provide tips for making the most of the session
- - give an overview of the challenges to learning and studies
- - broadly revisit the Buddha's core teachings
- - examine the importance and benefits of subduing or removing the five hindrances
- - hear a reading of an excerpt from the MahaAssapura Sutta (MN39)
- -'deep dive' into each of the five hindrances
- - meditate to subdue each of the five hindrances to directly experience the fruits of this teaching

2 hr 25 min - Guided Meditation - STUBBORNNESS - DIRTY DHAMMA PRACTICE - PART 6
Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
THIS EPISODE focuses on STUBBORNNESS or MENTAL RIGIDITY (thambo)
It is a GUIDED MEDITATION with a specific focus on our Dhamma Practice and how we can't see the dirty, defiled, ugly and nasty side in how we practice and manifest, despite doing what is good.
We look with honesty where we may not see how we breed defilements even within Dhamma - with our kalyanamittas, Dhamma teachers and fellow practitioners, and in our dealings with Dhamma groups, circles and communities.
We "clean" the mind of the these mental stains and make a strong determination not to cultivate or breed these defilements. We also have an intention to correct our view if we are holding onto any wrong views that are blocking our Path.
