2009-10-02 Wisdom, Calm and Insight 36:46
Ajahn Sucitto
Download Listen
In meditation we want to penetrate the depths of mind, to get the roots of our habits, attitudes, beliefs. We go through the body because it’s easier to discern as an object than mind. Steadying and calming the body energies, wisdom builds up, begins to know cause and effect, what leads to clarity, what leads to release.

2009-10-01 Hindrances and Aggregates - The Right Response 28:18
Ajahn Sucitto
Download Listen
We can use the suffering that arises from the hindrances as a means for clearing kamma. Rather than getting hooked by our habitual reactions, track the experience through the lens of the aggregates. Set aside the topic, get underneath it. Work with it on an energetic level, feel it in the body. It isn’t easy, but over time confidence builds that this is where it ceases. Then these hindrances have taught us a powerful lesson we won’t get anywhere else.
