The Four Brahmavihara as a support to mental cultivation

A talk with Q&A at the IBSC's Annual Meditation Retreat at Khao Kho, 23-11-30 30:39 Q1 Our practice is about overcoming the 10 kilesas. Can you give a definition and explanation about these and the dark mental impurities? 41:39 Q2 (a) Is it possible to gain enlightenment through the brama viharas without practicing vipassana? (b) Is there a practice of mahakaruna and mahamaitri in this tradition? 51:35 Q3 What is more important in life, maha sangha or kaliyanamita? 55:09 Q4 Sometimes when I sit I have pain that disturbs the mindfulness and sometimes I can no longer observe the pain. Then I use metta but sometimes I cannot even practice metta and I want to change the posture. Can you say what is the best way to practice to cultivate mindfulness when there is pain. 01:02:42 Q5 Regarding metta, I have understood that if we cannot cultivate peace and loving kindness in our mind, then we cannot spread it to others. When our parents face economic problems they may not be able to cultivate peace and loving kindness. However, they do want their children who may be living far away to have peace and to be free from danger. Is this wish also a practice of metta that can help?
