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.

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…?
