Sense restraint

Ajahn Viradhammo
|
|
|
This talk was given on a visit to Cittaviveka Buddhist monastery (UK) in Jul 2026.
Ajahn Viradhammo, reflects on sense restraint. Without sense restraint attention falls on the conditioned, rather than the unconditioned. We see the foreground, as opposed to the "background" of awareness. While it is possible to "notice" phenomenon, without sense restraint, the mind doesn't truly settle into silence without sense restraint, and the falling away of the noise caused by input from the senses. It is in the silence of the mind, that attention on awareness can flourish.

What is "Fulfilment"?

Ajahn Viradhammo

Ajahn Viradhammo, contemplates, the means we have to attain fulfilment.
He reflects, on Generosity, as means, living an ethical life, via the precepts, and finally on "Humility". Humility here as a that which is free from the sense of me and mine, or Ahankara Mimankara. Acknowledging the uncomfortable/unpleasant, but residing in the sense of the background, the awareness, that is always here, always present and unchanging.
