Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

Following the talk on poya on Buddha's Advice to Lay People on Stream Entry, a question has been raised:

"I practice diligently and try to live according to the Dhamma, but at times I have a doubts about whether I’m on the right track with my meditation and if I’m developing insight. This also makes me question stream entry. Are these doubts blocking stream entry?”
