gift of the teachings
 
Ajahn Sucitto's Dharma Talks
Ajahn Sucitto
As a monk, I bring a strong commitment, along with the renunciate flavor, to the classic Buddhist teachings. I play with ideas, with humor and a current way of expressing the teachings, but I don't dilute them.
2018-06-28 13 Guided Meditation: Everything Unfolds from the Center 8:15
Establish and maintain core presence through the upright axis. Keep your tap root firmly rooted in your Dhamma field and resist the temptation to move out into what arises. Just by not getting stuck in what arises weakens the power of difficulties. [Instructions end 8:08]

2018-06-28 11 Massaging the Closed Heart 62:11
Our self tends to get patterned and established by what is familiar and repeated. For most, it means being shaped and formed by negative accumulations that constrict and close the heart. Using the body-mind connection we can massage in the internal body back to life, not through words but through wholesome felt sense perceptions.

2018-06-27 06 Guided Meditation: Holding the Field Beneath Self-View 17:11
What’s there when self-view is released? Beneath the grip of self-view is the intention to welcome and include it all. Intentionality comes before attention.

2018-06-26 05 Dhamma: The Liberation Field 39:05
What arises in our fields is based on what’s been intended and activated. We become overwhelmed by the persistent activations of control, pressure, separateness. Accessing our Dhamma field gives rise to that which seeks balance, harmony, and that which seeks the welfare of all.

2018-06-26 04 Entering the Fields with Faith 60:27
Citta is affected by what we take in from our fields. Generally overwhelmed with afflictive effects, there is a point when we can stop and open in the midst of affliction and bring forth faith. The 5 spiritual faculties then have authority over the 5 sense faculties, imbuing the heart with wholesome qualities.
