00:00 Welcome
04:16 Topic of the Dhamma Talk: Tranquility and Seeing Clearly
30:30 I understand that when it feels like we're forcing the breath, we're not; there's just tension (maybe disliking, too). Should we just note this as such, then? Is noting forcing of breath incorrect?
31:44 I am really having a problem in doing meditation daily. How do I create a habit of daily meditation?
35:04 Sometimes it feels like my notings are not registering, or like they are losing strength. Should I note "weak, weak"? Should I think of more precise notings?
38:07 I often slouch over when I sit cross-legged. Should I just keep straightening my posture, and maybe this will get better with time?
39:43 Should we take breaks from mindfulness? Or should we only take breaks from formal meditation?
40:50 I have heard that this is not recommended, but is it okay if I do mantra-based samadhi meditation first, and then do Mahasi noting after? I feel that I see more clearly when doing this.
44:35 When I start to note, I immediately feel a lump in my throat area. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?
48:58 How can I manage being compassionate towards attractive people without falling into attachment?
52:29 How do I let go of lust through meditation?
55:55 In our meditation practice, you told us if we still have desire, anger and delusions, we should keep on practicing. How do we tell if we still have delusions?
58:38 How can we judge whether or not we are seeing clearly?
1:03:12 After meditating regularly for a few days, I began feeling empty and depressed, due to the lack of the regular "thought-stream" in my head. Is this simply a sign of “withdrawal” from that habit?
1:06:21 How should both Samatha and Vipassana be cultivated ina particular meditation session?
1:07:15 Sadhu...
