CAN YOU CONFIRM WHEN TO APPLY THE SIGNS & WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE TO SWITCH MEDITATION? - Dhamma Q&A

<p><strong>Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.</strong></p> <p>This question was asked during the FULL DHAMMA SESSION conducted on BAK POYA (16 April 2022) via zoom on "TAMING THE MIND" where we examined the Vitakkasaṇṭhāna Sutta (MN 20). &nbsp;</p> <p>The question:&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>“I practise with a lot of restraint in daily life. I don’t read newspapers and only look at headlines for example… When I went through the similes in meditation – the third simile, which is much like restraint, stood out for me. In the talk today you spoke about switching meditations, can you explain a bit more about that?” &nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p>Suttas referred to directly or indirectly:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>— Pamādavihārī Sutta (SN 35.97)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Puttamaṁsa Sutta (SN 12.63)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Vatthūpama Sutta (MN 7)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Karaṇīyametta Sutta (Snp 1.8)&nbsp;</li> <li>— Girimānanda Sutta (AN 10.60) &nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Bohoma pin to the person who asked this question.</p> <p><strong>A VIDEO of this FULL SESSION with presentation slides has been published to the Sutta Meditation Series YouTube Channel -&nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l8p_nNM_oc</strong></p> <p>Blessings of the Triple Gem.
