Ultimate Stability
53:14
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
We seek stability in this ongoing pageant of being where we only find relative stability, maybe. Ultimate stability is found through non-feeding, relinquishing. This holy life is lived to be freed from being. Suffering comes about from clinging; the end of grasping is the end of suffering.

Ceasing of Self
47:22
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The world is on fire with becoming. It’s not so deliberate or conscious, but an involuntary reflex. Hold the spacious openness rather than the objects, notice how things shift, change and pass through. It’s not actually oneself, it’s patterning. In Dhamma practice these patterns have to be exposed so they can be seen compassionately, spaciously, calmly and allowed to unfold and give their energy back into awareness.

Making One’s Own Mind a Refuge
37:21
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Mind is like a substance – it can be made heavy and gritty or spacious and smooth based on how it’s inclined. Incline towards calming and soothing to release stuck energies and release mind’s natural goodness. Intention is something you can have some choice over – you can tune your mind in to the depraved or to the blessed. You can make your mind a refuge.

Impermanence

Guy Armstrong

It's very helpful to reflect on the way we experience change in the course of our human life, including our own aging and death. But even more freeing is discovering the direct insight into the momentary arising and passing of all phenomena through our practice of mindful observation.
