Ajahn Sucitto
The presentation of the satipatthana is of experience divided between ‘me’ and ‘the world’. Through practice, we see through this boundary and undertake the responsibility of participating in and co-generating a reality rooted in Dhamma.

2025-06-20 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.
