Day 2f – Questions and Answers
This is a compilation of the retreat given by Ajahn Asoko on 7-9 July 2023 at Amaravati Retreat Centre, UK.
Questions are précised
00:22 Q1 Why are we born? Is it the driving force of the sankharas?
15:23 Q2 What advice do you have for a chronic procrastinator?
18:13 Q3 What is the difference between impermanence, uncertainty and doubt?
21:32 Q4 How would you deal with a rat infestation in the monastery?
22:39 Q5 What is the best way to overcome the wandering mind when meditating?
31:50 Q6 It is clear that meditation has beauty in the life of the monk. Is there also room for the dynamic explosion of energy?
34:09 Q7 Can you add some reflections on the 32 parts of the body?
48:29 Q8 Could you please explain the difference between awareness, consciousness and mindfulness?
49:39 Q9 Is it accurate that when I see, hear, smell, taste, touch, and cognize through the senses they arise in consciousness? I react if they are not known and when they are known silence appears.
54:11 Q10 I understand bodies as being part of nature, naturally created within the heart of a star and ultimately will end up in a black hole. So none is “I”. But what about consciousness? Is it just an arrangement of atoms?
01:07:18 Q11 After walking meditation I sat down, not watching the breath and what I was seeing was the people and the trees, zooming in and out automatically. This lasted for about 10 minutes. Later I saw my daughter. Are these experiences fake or real?
