- Does metta meditation leads to deep concentration or it is essential to do Anapanasati meditation after metta meditation?
- Can vivid nightmares be a means of working out karma?
- Is it possible to dream of one's bad deeds from a past life?

- What is the meaning of ‘karmic creditors’?
- How do we keep pure intention in our daily practice and not let it fall into being a desire to ‘be someone’ or to ‘be enlightened’, or a desire to have or to want etc. as this could turn into an attachment or clinging.
