A steady plane in a see-saw world
44:09
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Within the world of praise and blame gain and loss, one’s balance grows. This plane of accomplishment neither binds to, nor rejects social and personal systems and customs, but uses them with kindness and integrity. As the heart sustains this, layers of one’s unconscious grasping are revealed and released.

Goodwill is food for the heart
45:15

|
Ajahn Sucitto

|

When handled contemplatively, the energy of goodwill feeds, repairs and strengthens the heart. It can govern our speech and convert our mental attitudes from those of the competitive world. It can also be taken in to clear the residues that these worldly habits have established; anxiety, performance drive and self-criticism.

00:11 Q1 I have an urge for an inspirational, imaginational arising. It shows itself as a wish to be inspired. I find it hard to connect with Buddhist mythology, "seeing things as they are” seems not to be beneficial all the time. Some people in places seem to have a special effect on me and I can have so many positive feelings just by thinking about them. It feels like a gift. Is it real? Or constructed idea? 26:11 Q2 What is the relationship between the citta which is intrinsically luminous, nibbana, sensation and the anidassana viññāṇa described as endless and luminous all over. 36:52 Q3 How can we live wisely with past hurts? Related Q: I've noticed a change within the spectrum of love and hate that surprises me. It's not that I feel less for people but the craving and the attachment are missing in a way that allows me to feel more completely as I don't get lost in it.
