What Buddha Said #3: The 5 Mental Hindrances AN 1:2
updated
The Four Infinite and Divine Dwellings (Appamaññā Brahma-vihāra):
Systematic meditation and thus development of Friendliness (Mettā),
Compassion (Karunā), Rejoicing Joy (Muditā), and Equanimity (Upekkhā).
is 4 of the 40 classic meditation objects taught by the last Buddha Gotama.
We go though their proximate causes, praxis and their long-term benefits.
A guided meditation session underscoring the infinite aspect is trained.
If the cause is infinite, so is the effect. May all beings become Happy thereby.

A: One should assume that devout Buddhist countries would increase in population and wealth,
while fundamentalist countries would have decrease in population and wealth.
Yet we see the opposite. Why? Delay! No Collective Kamma, Not religion but actual behaviour.
B: One can often sense from afar that someone is angry at one. How is that possible?
Question 387: How to deal with paranoia? Can paranoia be beneficial?

C1: Is behavior, personality, and emotions, partly heritable in DNA, and partly karmically determined?
C2: Is one reborn into a family or species that carries behavioral traits that fit with one’s Kamma?
C3: Is Kamma creating the family, species, and location one is reborn
D. Are one’s bodily feelings and mental emotions purely a physical phenomena of the body, or are they at least partly caused by one’s Kamma?
E. What is the creator, cause or force behind the concept of Kammic "justice" that doing good brings good, doing bad brings bad? In other words, why?

There are 8 major hells each surrounded by 16 minor hells. There are thus 136 hells in total...
The Buddha's own personal eyewitness account of hell...
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.130.than.html
The Eight Great realms of suffering / Hell (Niraya) are like this:
1: The Revival Hell (Sañjīva) where one survives & cannot die from pain! Those who, because of greed, confusion, fear, or anger, kill living beings or having nursed them, slaughter them for sale, they will be reborn in the Sañjīva. There though killed and killed again for many thousands of years, because they revive there again and again for more pain, this is called Sañjīva Hell: The Revival Forever Hell... Even death cannot stop it!
2: The Black Thread Hell (Kālasutta) where one is cut up by a black line! Men who are hostile towards friends, mother, father & good pure ones, who are slanderers & liars they go to The Black Thread Hell (Kālasutta). Since they are split like wood with burning saws along a marking line, made by black thread, so it is called Kālasutta or black thread hell...
3: The Crushing Hell (Sanghāta) where one is crushed to pulp repeatedly! Those men who kill goats, rams, jackals, hares, rats, deer, boar & other free living & roaming beings, they end up in The Crushing Hell (Sanghāta). Since, crushed together between huge mountains, splattered, squeezed, smashed, & squashed to fluid mash there in a total slaughter, this niraya is called Sanghāta.
4: The Screaming Hell (Roruva) where one screams like a bound pig in fire! Those who harass or torment other being's body & mind & who cheats go to The Screaming Hell (Roruva). There they give forth terrible screams, howls, yells, in outcry over being constantly consumed by fierce fire, & ferocious flames. This blaze is thus called: Roruva or screaming hell.
5: The Loud Screaming Hell (Mahāroruva) where one screams even more! Those who steal what was entrusted to them or steal the possessions of devas, high people, recluses & teachers, by causing suffering even to such good ones go to Mahāroruva: The Loud Screaming Hell. There the pain & affliction of the fire torment & the screaming is even greater than ever. This inferno is therefore called Mahāroruva or loud screaming hell.
6: The Torture Hell (Tapa) is an immense conflagration of bitter pain! Whoever burns creatures in conflagrations such as forest fires, that person, weeping and wailing, is eaten by a fiery fire of blazing flames. Since this severe burning torture continues without interruption, this is known in this world here as Tāpana.
7: The Great Torture Hell (Mahātapa) is an even more burning hurting! The foolish nihilist who perversely insists that Dhamma is non-Dhamma and whoever harms other beings deliberately is tortured by fierce fire in The Great Torture Hell (Mahātapa). Since it burns beings even worse than theTāpana, this holocaust is called Mahātapa: great torture hell...
8: The Relentless Hell (Avicī) where the pain is without break or pause! Those showing enmity to those of greater virtue, slaying Nobles, pure disciples or also their mother, father, or teachers, they are reborn in the Relentless Hell (Avicī), Even the bones burns to ashes there, since the heat is excessively terrible. Because there is no interval, break, or pause, this is called Avicī, The most vicious and horrible out of all hells.
According to The Dharma commentaries, the first hell is located fifteen thousand two hundred yojanas beneath the ground of Jambudvīpa and second hell is located another fifteen thousand two hundred yojanas beneath the ground of the first hell…the eighth and lowest hell, the Avīchi hell, or the hell of incessant suffering, is located furthest beneath the ground. The Commentary on the Abhidhamma explains that these eight major hell is said to have sixteen subsidiary hell of less suffering, four on each side altogether 16 in total. These 128 subsidiary hell plus the eight major hell are called the 136 hell. In order of increasing depth means increasing suffering too.
Sabbe satta bhavantu sukhitatta - May all beings be well & happy, be free from suffering.

How does one put the past, where it belongs?
Question 379:
What would the Buddha say about climate change, & artificial intelligence?
Climate not independent of sila - moral purity of those living in the climate.

The 20th century started with two groundbreaking scientific revolutions: quantum mechanics and relativity. Quantum mechanics stated that elementary systems only have real definite local properties if and when observed by a conscious observer. This squares well with early Buddhism’s idea of Emptiness (Suññatā) and emphasis on Experience as the sole reality. Special relativity introduced length-contraction and time-dilation similar to Buddhism’s concept of seeing all states as conditional relations (Paţţhāna) between mind and its object, thus also renouncing the naïve idea of a local reality existing independent of the observing mind. Join Buddhist monk and scientist Bhante Samahita for a discussion on the convergence of Buddhism, quantum physics, and relativity.
Bhante Samāhita was educated as a medical doctor at the Copenhagen University in Denmark, and became Associate Professor in Bioinformatics at the Technical University in Denmark, working with theoretical biology and artificial intelligence. He arrived in Sri Lanka in 2001, where he became fully ordained as a Bhikkhu in 2003. As a monk of the Theravada Araññavasin Forest Tradition, he has been living and meditating for the past 16 years alone in a remote mountain forest hermitage. His main philosophical interest is the convergence and congruence of ideas within Early Buddhism, Orthodox Quantum Physics, Einsteinian Relativity, Information Theory, and Thermodynamics.

Question 375:
How do you address asking for relief or healing for yourself or others?
It is correct to send prayers of supplication to Buddhas, devas, arahants, wise ones?
I have fervently prayed in the past and feel it brought results, but am unsure.
Question 376:
1) How does one move beyond the literal pain one feels because of remorse for past mistakes in this life,
especially those actions/speech that have affected others and
2) How does one mitigate “bad” karma from this and previous lives so as not to continue to suffer
(while striving for nibbana) and prevent being reborn lower than a human.
Thanx for you advantageous attention, clever consideration, and kind contribution.
Thanx to all to Dayakas, Supporters, and especially the Regular Monthly Donors.

Question 369:
When I first meet someone, I am very light-hearted in our conversations and in the way I treat them.
But as we become closer, and the more we interact, I clamp down, and I become more serious
and less lighthearted. Everything is more serious. There’s more at stake. And I become very careful and not fun at all.
How do I overcome this attachment issue? How can I keep it light?
How can I maintain a carefree heart where nothing is deadly serious?

Question 365: @ 12:19
Why is passion considered a defilement although it is the only way via which beings are
born? Also, Buddha also said that human birth is much more precious than birth in
higher realms since it has both pleasure and pain and that only produces a desire for
liberation and human beings can only be born if passion is there. Could you please
shed some more light on this?

Question 366: @ 19:44
For ending of kamma via eight-fold noble path, is it right that one still has to experience
bright and dark results to reach that stage?
Question 367: @ 21:37
How can people who have done shoplifting in the past repair their Kamma accumulation?

Question 356: @ 26:30
Dhamma tells us to do good karma for liberation. However, good karma also leads
us to pleasant or favorable situations and people and there is always danger of
getting attached to such attractive things. So, isn't it contradictory to attain
liberation via good karma?

Question 318:
Why should we share Dhamma talks with people we find worthy of listening to. Why is it only them? Why not everyone?
Question 321:
The concept of anicca (impermanence) seems to apply at both the microscopic timescale, mind moments, quantum moments, Planc time, and the macroscopic scale (birth/death of stars) - is this correct?
Question 322:
A: Did the Buddha talk about in "divine intervention"? Can one ask for assistance?
B: Can we prevent the impact of evil karma, from ripening? If so, how do we do?
C: Is it possible to put a chronic disease into remission through our mind power, or counter-kamma?

Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin
http://www.dhamma.org/en/locations/directory
May all creatures, all breathing things,
all beings one and all, without exception,
experience good fortune only.
May they not fall into any harm.
Anguttara Nikaya II, 72
Train yourself in doing good
that lasts and brings happiness.
Cultivate generosity, the life of peace,
and a mind of infinite universal love.
Itivuttaka 22
With good will for the entire cosmos,
cultivate a limitless heart & mind:
Beaming above, below, & all around,
unobstructed, without trace of hostility.
Sutta Nipata I, 8
Having killed anger you sleep in ease.
Having killed anger you do not grieve.
The noble ones praise the slaying of anger
-- with its honeyed crest & poison root --
for having killed it you do not grieve.
Samyutta Nikaya II, 70
if you keep unbroken awareness,
on every In-breath, and every out-breath
the knots of kamma will be sundered,
leading to the highest welfare.
S.N. Goenka
Thanx for your Advantageous Attention, Clever Consideration, and Kind Contribution.
Thanx to all to Dayakas, Supporters, and Donors.
Especially the Food-Givers, Regular-Donors, and Meditation-Hall Supporters.
Have a Nice and Noble day!
