Howard Cohn
The Buddha was called 'the Happy One'. His teachings and path provide a clear and inspiring vision of our capacity to use our life to fulfill our goal of happiness. This talk of Insight Meditation will follow the Buddha's Way of mindfulness, concentration and love, illustrating how each of us, through a gradual process of applying loving awareness to our moment-to-moment experience, can move from clinging and attachment to letting go and freedom, from confusion to clarity, and from tension to ease of well-being.

Ajahn Sucitto
Experience manifests in terms of ‘fields’. Opening and holding a field (such as the bodily field) with mindfulness brings harmony. Conflicts can be relaxed, self-positions abandoned. This is also a model for relationships with other people.

2016-12-03 Samadhi – absorbing the sweet spot 49:52
Ajahn Sucitto
In mindfulness, body teaches us what mindfulness is. When we steadily incline towards sensitive simplicity and getting comfortable – and absorb that, the result is samadhi.

2016-12-01 Waves and Fields - no self 46:41
Ajahn Sucitto
Dhammas are wave-like qualia rather than things. They are conditionally arisen. With dispassionate mindfulness they can subside. They need not define or belong to anyone.

2016-11-29 Relational Fields and Satipatthana 52:07
Ajahn Sucitto
Mindfulness of mind is the ability to hold the range of mind states in the field of mind so that dispassionate presence is realized. This ‘holding’ is not grasping any phenomenon as a real thing, more relating to it as a potential citta characteristic.

2016-11-27 Consciousness, latent tendencies and true response. 65:35
Ajahn Sucitto
To respond to what arises is important – how to avoid blind reactions? Citta, core presence, can be accessed through mindfulness. When it is stable, a true response arises.
