Ajahn Sucitto's Dharma Talks at Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge
Ajahn Sucitto

2025-06-13 Tracking experience with feeling 53:07

2025-06-06 Regulating inner with outer 56:38
Through consciousness, boundaries form between subject and object; thus, me and the world. Through the stress of that, the me closes into a bag. Defense and acquisition strategies. Heart (citta) is not consciousness and can turn away from creating the same me bag. This is through regulating inner-outer sensitivities to a harmonious whole.

2025-06-03 Heart + spine = committment 33:14
Effort is the engagement of heart with a topic. In satipatthana, the engagement is with body as an intelligent entity. When heart meets the ‘spinal sense’ there is resolve and stability.
