According to the Suttas, how do I practice Vipassana and how do practice samatha? Are these practices differentiated or not?

Asking six questions per day is maybe too many for this site. In the past it was once suggested that the list of newest questions shouldn't be all from the same person.

Who else will ask questions? This site is not exactly highly trafficked. Possibly the moderators here should drop their habitual non-Buddhist secular ideas and have more of a Buddhist bent. Keep in mind in Buddhism the student asking questions is the most essential thing. Its always problematic when aliens who have never lived in a Buddhist culture moderate a Buddhist forum on a website created by computer nerds/geeks.

The questions are good and often challenging, such as on MN 39 and MN 17. Credit where credit is due.
