2018-02-28 Accept, don't adopt - so wisdom can arise 57:12
Ajahn Sucitto
Accepting the presence of experience means we don’t grab onto it or resist it. Body provides a foundation to process experience rather than storing them up. As you wake up to the body’s intelligence, it gets to work. Mind’s work is to sustain appropriate attention – not adopting, not rejecting, patience and goodwill. Wisdom naturally arises.

2018-02-28 Reflection on kamma 22:36
Ajahn Sucitto
There is new kamma (action), and old kamma, the results of previous actions. The process of kamma embeds particular habits and perpetuates a sense of self, setting up the model for the future, ongoing becoming. There is also the ending of this kamma process. Ajahn Sucitto describes several skilful means for such cultivation.

Ajahn Sucitto
Questions are paraphrased: 1. Given the stressfulness of differentiation, is choosing what kind of meditation to practice stressful? 2. (11:30) Is the undifferentiated, the signlessness – the same as emptiness? 3. (24:02) Could you repeat what you were saying about relaxing tense muscles 4. (37:25) What does it mean to imbue the heart with loving kindness, “likewise the second, likewise the third and likewise the fourth”? What is the all encompassing world…?

2018-02-27 Guided mindfulness of breathing 34:51
Ajahn Sucitto
Breathing itself trains you, you don’t train it. It trains you to be patient with it, open to it, sensitive to it, stay with it. Balance the doing and allowing, they both have their part to play.
