2022-11-17 Kalyana – the tone of the Dhamma 54:56

In a collaborative practice with others, we relax our individualities. It sets the view, tone and energy through which we can understand and purify our own kamma.

2022-11-18 Ignorance 25:15
Ajahn Sucitto
Our ignorance of citta's nature allows craving for objects to arise, diverting the citta towards sense objects, rather than finding and resting in itself. Awareness is key to noticing and understanding this.
2022-11-19 Significance of puja 12:15
Ajahn Sucitto
Puja and retreat structure allow energy to settle, be contained and the heart can bring forth what is meaningful in the present moment. Lingering there, sati allows access to the power of the heart.
2022-11-19 The heart is a circle 43:15
Ajahn Sucitto
As a metaphor, a circle provides a necessary sense of coherence and boundary where you can enter and establish an abiding place for practice in all body postures.

00:00 Can you speak more about compassion / karuna?; 05:06 How does equanimity support compassion?; 15:32 Is there such a thing as displaced compassion?; 22:26 Please say more about walking meditation and the breath; 23:36 Please speak more about the internal process of sila and dana; 39:40 What is the role of kamma in the interplay of right view and right intention? 48:34 Are nimittas important?
2022-11-20 Understanding puja 21:08
Ajahn Sucitto
Puja is a form of praising and honouring. It is the nimitta of the citta, flavoured with a sense of lineage and gratitude.
