00:34 Q1 Can you give some examples of non-formal practice through the day. 06:23 Q2 What is helpful in practicing walking meditation? 11:40 Q3 Why do we practice walking when we have sitting meditation? 12:46 Q4 Why is it that the object of meditation has to be something of the body? Could it be a rock for example? 13:37 Q5 When I meditate I hear a loud inner sound, the breathing, heat beat and blood pumping and body movements. It’s difficult to concentrate on any one thing. 16:03 Q6 Is stream entry a deeper flow state or something completely different? 16:23 Q7 How can we differentiate between skilful and unskilful doubt. 19:00 Q8 In the guided meditation you led us inside where we were resting somewhere. Are there any creative techniques to access that? 20:21 Q9 When you asked us to look for the person /that who is aware. Commonly this is supposed to be usually in the head right? Can it be outside the body and are there ways to access that? 21:36 Q10 You mentioned you were from New Hampshire. Is that attached to Ajahn Amaro?

Questions are précised - 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, even 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?
