Knowing the aggregates needs a comfortable heart
2018-02-01 Knowing the aggregates needs a comfortable heart 57:05
Ajahn Sucitto
“What is greater, the water in the ocean or the tears shed in this faring on?” We cling to the aggregates, tearfully in search of something stable, permanent, comfortable. But it hasn’t happened. However, subjectivity - that which seeks comfort - is itself a source of comfort and stability. It’s called the citta and depends on itself - doesn’t depend on the aggregates. What needs to be undone is not the aggregate but the clinging to it. So we find a way to maintain presence with these aggregates in all their moving and changing. We use embodiment to bring a heft to awareness, to bring a sense of presence.
