Ajahn responds to several questions around the themes: Is it necessary to have an attitude of sanctity or divinity when one is mindful in the sati sampajanna way? Is it possible to get anywhere in the practice without being ordained? How long should I sit and what particular process should I go through? Will I arrive at a certain recognizable state?

01 06 Q1 I don't have any particular devotional practice. Is this like a Brahmavihara practice? 01:41 Q2 Regarding the relationship between citta and yoni as in yoniso manasikara, I relate to citta on a moment to moment basis. Yoni seems to be a seat of integrated wisdom. 20:15 Q3 Can you explain about metta practice. 27:31 Q4 Someone said resentment and aversion are natural conditions of the mind. They're not self and when seen as not self, they disappear. Can you comment please? 34:17 Q5 I would like to know if the inner tyrant is considered wrong view.

A talk given at the Insight Meditation Center of Western Mass with QnA.
Questions are précised: Q1 33:26 You were talking about the inner and outer skin. It seems this inner skin creates suffering. How do we start to be able to deal with this?Q2 37:34 Those words: Open, allow, let go are such a release. But something can happen that scares me, fear of annihilation. How do you practice with the insecurity of monastic life without being scared? Q3 42:03 In moving from control, do you go through indifference? Q4 43:50 Would you mind speaking about qualities of willfulness, striving, urgency, rigidity around meditation and holding attention in the body and that urgency. Q5 52:10 I feel very uplifted being so close to a monastic. Could you say something about the challenges and the fruits of being in robes for so long?

Holistic Awareness and Right Livelihood

Ajahn Sucitto

Mental consciousness experiences in terms of points and lines, holistic awareness is the mode the body uses for its maintenance, health and balance. This is what we cultivate in meditation, so that the heart attunes to it and is also well-maintained, healthy and liberated from stress. Right livelihood is a matter of sustaining this kind of awareness in terms of duties, collaboration and the welfare of others. These clear mental hindrances and restrictions and bring joy into our daily lives.
