2025-10-20 Q&A 35:30
Ajahn Sucitto
Q1 How can I differentiate whether it's the ghost that's speaking or the thing that I should work harder on. I feel that if I work a little harder I can be a little better. How should I know it's time to stop ... and where to go? Q2 16:18 if done with love can accomplishment make the heart sing? Q3 17:50 How do I stop longing for emotional connection with a partner and of one of my children? I practice with letting go of the wanting but sometimes the longing arises and it's painful. Q4 25:38 Can you explain again the flow of the air on the in-breath. Q5 33:01 could you say something more about walking. When I'm doing it I'm stiff, rigid and can't get the swing.

Yuka Nakamura
The transformation of our heartmind, citta, depends on the patient, gradual cultivation of wholesome qualities. The Buddha distinguished three areas of cultivation - the area of ethical living, the development of the mind and the cultivation of wisdom.

2025-10-19 Talk - Citta: The Creator of Heaven and Hell 38:17
Yuka Nakamura
Citta, the heartmind, lies at the center of our Dharma practice. Understanding how the state of the citta determines our happiness or unhappiness, we are motivated to take good care of it and cultivate it. This process begins with bringing mindfulness and interest to our mindstates.

Eugene Cash
Learning to land in present moment with both sukkah and dukkah. How being here leads to letting go, freedom, and ' the sure hearts release'. Freedom is right here in our own body, heart and mind if we relax and settle into the truth of each moment.
