Ajahn Sucitto
Questions are précised 00:15 Q1 Can you clarify why the Buddha recommended sense restraint in cultivating citta? What harm does sense desire to the citta? 04:20 Q2 I have a picture that the sense organs are shooting stuff into the citta. Is that correct? 12:42 Q3 How can I overcome sound distractions to focus more on my breathing ? 18:59 Q4 The Buddha said, light arose and vision arose. What does this mean? 20:27 Q5 If we trust in awareness, would this lead to attachment to citta and become another soul? 24:09 Q6 I feel emotions deeply and am sometimes affected by other being seen and unseen, like ghosts. Also getting angry gives me power and sometimes I feel that metta softens and weakens myself to others. How can I protect citta, one’s sensitivity? 30:45 Q7 How to distinguish between self-care and attachment?

2023-04-20 talk: pāramī of patience 29:23
Jill Shepherd
Patience is a quality that is undervalued in mainstream society with its emphasis on instant gratification, but in the Buddha's teachings, it's seen as the foremost of all the pāramī. Fortunately, it's something that can be trained in, initially by recognising where we're IMpatient, then making the effort to orient to steadiness and non-resistance.
