Tracking Experience with Feeling

|
Ajahn Sucitto
|

Turn away from the measuring mind to track how experience is, and the arising and passing of stress. In this way, we engage with the ‘noble pleasure’ that leads to samadhi.

Realization Goes Against the Grain

Ajahn Sucitto

|
The process of fruition through satipatthana entails resources, obstacles, skills, release and integration. Nibbana can be momentary whenever the consciousness of subject and object deconstructs.

Managing the Waves in the Lake
57:29
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
Citta/heart is like a lake with waves rippling through it. The unawakened response is to create walls to resist the unpleasant, and fences to retain the pleasant - and 'me' to hold it all. Awakening responses to the waves are the skills of samadhi and brahmavihara. These make the lake vast and able to allow waves to arise and subside. They are door to the deathless - the unconstructed that the citta can enter through non-holding.

|

|
|
