Ajahn Sucitto

We begin to prefer relinquishment, finding it a freer more livable options.

Ajahn Sucitto
Citta is the heart and feeling aspect of our experience. It can determine what is for our welfare, but becomes tangled and obscured by proliferation. Use deep attention to cut through the proliferations. Come out of the world of differentiation to just here now.
