Questions and Answers #1
(I apologize for posting this on YT first, but it is very difficult to get anything to upload onto Bitchute lately. I've got four videos, including this one, "processing" in Bitchute limbo as I type this.) Any further questions may be emailed to me or posted under the video. Be happy.

Queation: It is said all the Buddha's taught the 4 Right Efforts.
Question: It is said all the Buddha's taught the 4 right efforts. To develop wholesome states, to maintain wholesome states, to abandon unwholesome states, and to prevent the arising of unwholesome states. This seems to conflict greatly with what many modern secular "spiritual" teaches teach in that many say we should not judge. But if we do not judge them we are not discerning and if we are not discerning then to me it would seem that we are not using our mindfulness properly for our long term welfare and benifit. Also, this teaching seems to me to parallel various alchemical teachings of various western Hermetic schools that involve purification of various things. Just as we can distill water from foul mixtures with heat so too can we distill good mental states with mindfulness and right effort. Again, this all to me seems to fly in thr face of the modern degenerate teachers of this age. Could you perhaps elaborate on this? Specifically right effort. And, how do judgement, discernment, mindfulness factor in?
I apologize for my typos.
All right, a new list of questions is being compiled from here and from comments sections on YouTube and Bitchute. Everyone is welcome to ask about just about anything. So another video is likely before too long...
Thank you!
