2017-03-25 Offering and Receiving: Training in the Relational Domain 31:11
Ajahn Sucitto
Ajahn Sucitto reflects on how ways of relating at the monastery provide training for accessing the true place of citta. In the monastery we are encouraged to get beyond self-views of “have to”, “is it good enough” and “am I worthy” so the deeper qualities of citta - warmth, generosity, gratitude - can manifest.
