This video is an introductory description (10/10) of the General Vipassana Retreat Batch 4, on April 7-12, 2024, at Dhammadipa Meditation Center by Bhikkhu Santacitto. In this video, discusses several questions about meditation as follows: 1. Every day we do not suffer, why did Buddha say this life is suffering? What is the most appropriate meaning for it? 2. Why are some people who meditate for a short time then can achieve enlightenment? 3. Should we pay attention to other objects besides the breath object? Or just pay attention to one object continuously without paying attention to others? 4. Is there such a thing as true love as mentioned in the loving-kindness verse? 5. Can the practice of loving-kindness meditation or Brahmavihara (sublime abodes) bring someone to the level of purity? 6. Why does the practice of Vipassana meditation feel so difficult? How should householders practice it gradually? 7. Can the object of anapanasati or paying attention to the in-out breath be included as a Vipassana meditation practice? 8. What meditation is suitable for people with cancer to be calmer? 9. Do people who reach the first level of sainthood not need high or deep concentration like Jhana?
