Day 4b – Q&A

This is a compilation of the retreat led by Ajahn Amaro between 5-10 December 2022 at Deer Park Institute, IN.

Day 4b Q&A

00:09 Q1 Can you clarify more about compassion? It seems quite dark in English. And does karuna also have some suffering in it?
04:28 Q2 What are the training steps in the Thai Forest tradition? Also what is spoken about full Buddhahood in the Southern tradition?
21:41 Q3 You said not to be carried away with rupa, form and perception and you also mentioned discriminating consciousness. I have trouble with this last one. Can you elaborate?
27:43 Q4 What does the word Ajahn mean?
28:21 Q5 Did you say that you could not lie down to sleep?
26:30 Q6 We are an outcome of our relationships and programmes formed over a long period. Is it possible to re-programme ourselves while staying in the same environment?
43:34 Q7 Why is meditation the primary means of insight or analysis? What about writing? Or talking to others?
