That Seed of Awakening Within Us
24:07
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Remember compassion like the Buddha’s. Remember courage like the Buddha’s – a mind strong, centered, wise and welcoming; spacious, supple and open. We look within and wake up to that seed of awakening. Standing for truth instead of delusion and weakness, even if what we have is not enough – we make it enough. Even from a tiny seed of awakening, plant it in the soil of contentment. Watch it grow into a tall, magnificent refuge in Truth that is not conceptual but is realized intuitively. You are here in the moment like never before.

In Singapore. Questions are précised: 00:04 If experienced meditators can control their entry into jhana at the time of death, does it mean they can choose their rebirth? 03:22 When we transfer merit, does it really work given what the Buddha said about being the owner and benefactor of our kamma? 10:30 Should we practice differently before we sleep and how? How can I deal with sloth and torpor? 14:04 What is the best thing to say to a loved one who is dying? 19:47 How do you know you are practicing well and yet encouraging yourself to commit to the practice? Is meditation always about the breath?
