Kuching Dec 2013

These are the talks from Kuching. A bit different though because half of those talks are a mixture in Hokkien and English!! Circumstaces of the retreat demands the talks to be delivered in Hokkien (my native tougue). Well I think its an oppurtunity for me to be connected to the non-English speaking yogis although my Hokkien is kind of 'rugged' to their ears but the message got through (mostly, I think.....rather I hope!).

If you have any suggestions or to correct my vocab, please drop your comments below. Sadhu.

Santisukharama Vassa 2013

This blog has been inactive a sometime. Time to dust the 'cobwebs'.

These are the talks from my recent Vassa retreat from Mid July to Mid Oct 2013 in Santisukharama.

I touched on various topics but the main portion of those 50 over talks and guided meditation are on paticca samuppada, usually translated as dependent origination or interdependent origination. This topic is based on Mahatanhasankhaya Sutta from Majjhima Nikaya. Normally I would tuned the talks to the benefits of the yogis i.e how to note or observe the flow the vipassana objects as (and when to see the objects as) paticca samupadda. But there some portion especially towards the end of the talks (where this paticca samuppada deals when the future) I discussed on the various types and functions kamma.

Happy listening (.........but be patience though, the talks are connected to one and another - just like paticca samuppada!).

2. Abandoning the Hindrances - Based on the Discourse on Abandoning the Hindrances in Anguttara Nikaya 1, ii. These lectures discussed on the nature of each of the hindrances (sensual desire, ill-will, sloth & torpor, restlessness & worry and skeptical doubt), being not reactive instead being able to accept them as they really are and to overcome them rightly and skillfully using vipassana, samatha, and other skillful techniques. - (06, 07, 08, 10, 11 and 12) - 6 talks.

4. 5 Controlling Faculties - As a yogi progresses further, he must learn how to balance his mental faculties of confidence (saddha), effort (viriya), mindfulness (sati), concentration (samadhi) and wisdom (pan~n~a). In order to do so, he has to experience the true nature of each and every faculties. Balancing of mental faculties take lots of trial and error and these lectures help to lay down the principles and some techniques on how to rightly balance them in different ways. - (18, 19, 20, 22, 23) - 5 talks.

5. Clear Comprenhension (sampajan~n~a) - These lectures discussed about our purpose or motive on why do we come for a retreat and the intentions that arises during meditation. Then it look in the suitability of our intentions. Then it followed by discussing the domain or boundary of the vipassana practice and to recognise what can or cannot be use as a vipassana object. Also a yogi really need to be precise and through his meditations objects as this is mentioned in the aspect of non-delusion or wisdom. - (24, 26 and 27) - 3 talks.

6. Questions & Answers - The questions were asked by residing yogis. These interesting questions and answers sessions have various aspects regarding vipassana meditation or related to vipassana. (05, 09, 13, 17, 21, 25 and 29) - 7 Q & A sessions.

7. Striving for Excellence - A single talk discussing the five criteria needed in a yogi to strive for excellence in vipassana development (or even samatha). - (28)
