This is a compilation of the retreat led by Ajahn Amaro between 5-10 December 2022 at Deer Park Institute, IN.
Day 2c Q&A
00:15 Q1 How do we dislodge the idea of a self? Also, you say there is an experience without an ‘experiencer’. Can you elaborate?
14:34 Q2 You spoke of Ajahn Mun’s teaching on the deathless dhamma. Could you speak to the idea of the subjectivity of the Buddha or even a “de-centred” subjectivity?
27:04 Q3 Could you say more about what stream entry is and its importance?
33:55 Q4 When sitting, how do we know we are anchored in our breath and when we can then shift and broaden our attention to other things?
35:15 Q5 I find walking meditation easier than sitting. Is this OK?
36:35 Q6 Has Buddha offered any view on the purpose of my life, especially given its suffering?
42:00 Q7 How can we tell if our meditation tool is working and that we are progressing on the path?
52:22 Q8 Regarding concentration in meditation, is this the same thing that creative people use in their work?
