00:54 Q1: Thank you for guiding me and introducing me to chanting for my father every morning. I've been doing it every day and Dad has been happy to hear my chant. My problem is now I remember many chants by heart and I seem to do it quite automatically. Sometimes when I was chanting I caught my mind running through my schedule of the day, what I have to do or where I have to go and what I have to prepare for my online meeting etc. I am trying to pull my mind back but when I was in trance stage of chanting it happened again! Please advise, thank you. 07:01 Q2: In the Cūḷasuññatasutta, the Buddha goes into details about his meditation on emptiness. He says that he practices it himself. Indeed it's one of the few meditations he really goes into such instructional description. Can Ajahn tell us more about it and tell us how we can use this meditation ourselves? In particular is this a meditation or contemplation? And if so, is it conducted in one section or are the different parts different stages of achievement? Thanks.

Monks in general all have clean shaven heads and it's also a requirement for a "left-home" person. 44:06 Q4: I would like to know if we should always dedicate merits after daily chanting/ meditation? Should we always include all deceased parents/ relatives & those living who are close to us? What happen if the list is long? What is the best way to make dedication? 46:20 Q5: Must one develop right concentration through meditation or can one also attain to jhana stage in daily activities? In fact, I am curious, how will one know if he/she has reached jhana stage? Thank you.'
