2020-02-26 Aligning to Direct Experience 11:25
Ajahn Sucitto
As phenomena arise, align understanding to direct experience. Clear away inferences such as time and the notion of the body. All phenomena arise within awareness. Extend awareness through breathing. Pervade the body with tonalities of goodwill rather than of ill-will or no will.

2020-02-26 Renewal Means Refrain from Going Back 24:24
Ajahn Sucitto
Being comes before doing. Openness needs the protection of Refuge, not the defensiveness of ill-will. Renewal is not a case of planning or trying something new, but of stopping the re-creating of the old self. Citta then renews by itself.
