Sincere and Pertinent Questions and Answers

Greetings fellow practitioners,

On a recent visit to Sri Lanka I was asked to answer some questions from a group of sincere students of Buddhism. As the occasion was filmed I am able to share it with you now. The questions were of a high quality and were asked in a coherent order so I feel happy to share them. The time constraints of the session forced me to be succinct and to the point... which on this occasion seems to have worked well.

Some examples of the questions asked are...

What is mind?... what is mindfulness?... what is skillful concentration?
How does one develop the levels of samadhi progressively?
How does one develop Vipassana Insight? How to work with pain?

The entire session is quite long, so feel to listen to the first half in one go and come back to listen to the remainder.

I hope that something contained within this session is useful or encouraging to you.

With Loving-Kindness
