Q2 13:23 Could you please give some advice on how to prevent attachment and clinging arising? Q3 18:52 What are the factors for wisdom to arise? Q4 25:52 What are the purposes of not eating after 12:00? Why can we eat only a little bit, like some cheese? Q5 32:32 I love my family and want them to know who I am. Fear of losing them is somehow close to the fear of losing part of what I am. I like the Vedic term jiva that may also be called individuality.

Q6 40:58 How best to support or love someone whose mind is exhausted and burnt out? Q7 45:15 We've heard about right effort and right view, what about right action? They seem very similar.

Q9 52:28 When labelling feelings with the three qualities anicca, dukkha, annata, is it a good idea to do it also with feeling of joy or piti?
