Questions from the students and the professor:
6:26 I’ve read that there are monks who are vegetarian and those who eat meat and I wonder which is true?
8:57 How do you, in Buddhist practice relate to difficult feelings and situations?
12:04 We did a group meditation in class which some remarked was difficult. Do you have any advice for them?
17:49 Are you saying meditation goes beyond the cushion?
21:02 What do you gain from meditation the most?
23:39 If meditation practice is something to continue to do, is there a benefit to practice?
25:39 I am asking about the role of compassion in your teachings and curious about how it influences you?
28:42 Is there any one school of Buddhism that focuses on compassion?
29:48 How has your military experience influenced your understanding of Buddhist practice?
36:08 Buddhist practice has helped you to rejoin the living?
39:27 How do you see a relationship between self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others?
42:30 My parents are Buddhists and eat fish on a specific day. How are you with this?
44:37 You said you feel you have an obligation to work with others when dealing with their (war) experiences. Is that a responsibility due to your Buddhist practice or is that a responsibility due to your experience of war?
49:40 You mentioned Buddhism is about being present and narcotics detaches one from reality. I was wondering about listening to music and if it is something you indulge or avoid?
54:20 Being silent has been difficult, yes?
56:00 I see Catholicism as male oriented and patriarchal, do you see any oppressive treatment of women in Buddhist practice? 61:02 I have a friend who is a Buddhist nun who complained about her treatment in the US as a woman.57 επεισόδια
