Ajahn Sucitto

2020-02-06 Kamma and Saṇkhāra 46:33
Ajahn Sucitto
We might experience running down familiar emotional tracks (saṇkhāra). Tracks get laid down by the repeated and habitual reactions to contact (kamma). To clear disturbing and negative tracks, widen attention and check the habitual impulse. The mind naturally seeks harmony and balance. Listen deeply for its response.
