Retreat spørsmål og svar på Venabu 2024 | EN | Venerable Canda and Ajahn Nitho
Dette er et opptak av en spørsmål-og-svar-økt som vanligvis gjøres hver kveld under retreat.
This is a recording of a question and answers session normally done every evening during retreat:
(00:00) − You mentioned that for meditation, it helps to focus on the here and now, like breathing, walking or yoga. Would focusing on petting ones cat be the same, could that be meditate?
(02:51) − Often when I am observing my breathing closely, the closer I watch, the more I realise that I am all doing the breathing, in stead of letting it breath on its own. Should I just observe myself doing the breathing, in stead of struggling to stop?
(05:54) − Most comfortably, my legs take turn going numb. Is it a matter of habit?
(09:45) − What is the mental action that corresponds to putting the glass of water down on the floor, so that it can fall into silence?
(11:26) − Is there any effect meditating with the palms up, or palms down?
(14:25) − What happened to your brother, Nitho − you said he inspired you to do meditations? Was he also a monk?
(18:14) − Morning teaching:
The peace and happiness inside, I want to catch it but it just hide.
Today I had a teaching and now I know, you can only find peace and happiness by letting go.
If you still need to do it − to act, add kindness it will have a huge impact.
To all you with an active mind − just remember, be kind.
(19:10) − When I meditate in day-to-day life, while not on a retreat. I find in may take two hour to find some ease. So far in this retreat, it feels like this in minutes. Any recommendations for the causes required to perhaps finding this easy in day-to-day life?
(22:22) − Where can I read about the eight fold path?
(24:32) − How can I know the difference between deep meditation and falling a sleep and dreaming, while sitting?
(27:32) − How do I make the best out of karma-yoga?
(31:05) − If I give my best, but make absolutely no progress at all after eight days, it is still okay alright?
(35:10) − Can we at some point during the retreat have metta meditation with Venerable Canda canting in the end, please?
(35:32) − How have your dreams changed during your journey since you discovered meditation, or have they changed at all?
(39:26) − How do you feel right now?
(41:58) − Can you give some examples of topics you have addressed in the course of private interviews in the past?

(00:00) − Du nevnte at det hjelper å fokusere på her og nå for meditasjon, som å puste, gå eller yoga. Ville det å fokusere på å klappe katten sin være det samme, kan det være meditasjon?
(02:51) − Ofte når jeg observerer pusten min nøye, jo nærmere jeg ser, desto mer innser jeg at jeg bare puster, i stedet for å la den puste av seg selv. Burde jeg bare observere meg selv puste, i stedet for å streve med å stoppe?
(05:54) − Mest komfortabelt er det at beina mine blir nummene etter tur. Er det en vanesak?
(09:45) − Hva er den mentale handlingen som tilsvarer å sette glasset med vann ned på gulvet, slik at det kan falle i stillhet?
(11:26) − Er det noen effekt av å meditere med håndflatene opp eller håndflatene ned?
(14:25) − Hva skjedde med broren din, Nitho − du sa at han inspirerte deg til å meditere? Var han også munk?
(18:14) − Morgenundervisning:
The peace and happiness inside, I want to catch it but it just hide.
Today I had a teaching and now I know, you can only find peace and happiness by letting go.
If you still need to do it − to act, add kindness it will have a huge impact.
To all you with an active mind − just remember, be kind.
(19:10) − Når jeg mediterer i hverdagen, uten å være på retrett, finner jeg ut at det kan ta to timer å finne litt ro. Så langt på denne retretten føles det slik i løpet av minutter. Noen anbefalinger for årsaker som kreves for å kanskje finne dette enkelt i hverdagen?
(22:22) − Hvor kan jeg lese om den åttefoldige veien?
(24:32) − Hvordan kan jeg vite forskjellen på dyp meditasjon og å sovne og drømme mens jeg sitter?
(27:32) − Hvordan får jeg mest mulig ut av karma-yoga?
(31:05) − Hvis jeg gir mitt beste, men ikke gjør noen fremgang i det hele tatt etter åtte dager, er det fortsatt greit, ikke sant?
(35:10) − Kan vi på et tidspunkt under retretten ha metta-meditasjon med Venerable Canda som chanter til slutt, vær så snill?
(35:32) − Hvordan har drømmene dine endret seg under reisen din siden du oppdaget meditasjon, eller har de endret seg i det hele tatt?
(39:26) − Hvordan føler du deg akkurat nå?
(41:58) − Kan du gi noen eksempler på temaer du har tatt opp i løpet av private intervjuer tidligere?
