The Nature of Citta
59:45
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Citta is awareness, heart and mind. It experiences involuntary and voluntary modes. In the involuntary is release, but the path to that is through intention, disengagement, and discernment.

Citta and a person meet in the body.
61:52
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Citta is occluded by not knowing its freedom. Citta enters the sensory condition, is ‘born’, develops a person to meet ‘the other’. Here is dukkha and personal responses to that don’t work, but dukkha can be released through citta in the body.

Accessing ‘Ground’ – Unconditional Acceptance
13:11
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Awareness is often beset with thoughts, emotions, and narratives that cause a ‘jump’ into conceptual proliferation. With unconditional acceptance we hold awareness as a non-reactive ‘pool’ that receives and resonates with mind-stuff but doesn’t react.

Puja: Participation not Observation
26:20
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Devotional practice works through including us in bodily, verbal, and heartful actions. Words and concepts are secondary to images and romances. Images of Buddha hands carry deep meaning.
