Turning the Wheel Q&A
This talk / Q&A was originally posted on Ven. Yuttadhammo Bhikkhu’s YouTube Channel. To watch it on YouTube kindly click here.
00:00 Welcome
03:12 On the topic of... Turning the Wheel
37:19 Is there a way to target certain attachments? Some caused more suffering than others, and I am struggling to loosen these attachments at all.
39:23 During meditation I experience states of calm, which I end up noting "liking", but then I recoil because I don't want it to go away. Any advice?
41:04 What's a good starting point to helping reduce extreme general anxiety and panic and the extreme fear of death?
43:08 Is it OK to use counting as a way to calm the mind in meditation eg. rising, falling, 1; rising, falling, 2; and so on...?
44:46 I have been dealing with depression for 15 years and it led me to Buddhism. I have been trying to quit coffee, alcohol, and smoking for two years but it seems unmanagable. Any advice?
47:08 When meditating for the purpose to free oneself from suffering and reach tranquility, can this lead to a wrong mindfulness or meditation?
48:25 During meditation, how to recognise when the mind starts being passive? When will the exertion be not overexerted?
49:50 How can you induce ego death states? To slowly warm my mind to the idea of death and dying. Can you do it through meditation?
51:43 What can I do while going shopping or doing daily tasks to help train my mind into being mindful?
52:40 What would be the easiest way to meditate in proper Vipassana way?
53:06 Do you think that external devices such as phone applications or devices that measure brainwaves and help to enter in a zone of concentration, can help to develop concentration, which could help to enter the path?
54:53 Is voluntary suffering needed in life? Take for instance, risking to achieve some goal or leaving behind many aspects of our lives to progress. How can we reduce the suffering in that journey?
56:40 How does Buddhism view the pursuit of attaining financial freedom? Basically, the desire to get rich and achieve the freedom to do what you want in life instead of working for others?
1:00:22 I have difficulty dealing with lustful thoughts. What's the best way of stopping myself from becoming distracted in this way? Am I making bad karma for myself every time I have such a thought?
1:03:34 Sadhu...
