2019-12-10 Guided Meditation: Heartful Sympathy for All Beings 42:01
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
This guided meditation touches into a fundamental quality that arose with the Buddha’s final realization – anukamapa, heartfelt sensitivity and sympathy for the welfare of sentient beings. We practice by generating perceptions and relating directly to the resulting experience.

Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
We live in the sense world, but we don’t have to run out into it. We can see, hear and touch, but keep the heart collected inwardly. This gives a sense of balance and peace, an inner happiness.

2019-12-10 Make the First Effort of the Day with Wisdom and Persistence 16:12
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
Take the opportunity when you begin your day to turn away from unskillful states and start putting down the seeds for skillful states. Committing to precepts and recollecting Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha bring mental firmness. Breathing and chanting bring physical vitality and brightness. This builds up the reserves of wisdom and vitality to sustain you through the day.

Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
Whatever we incline our minds toward will affect us. Where do I want to give my attention? Where do I want to commit my time? These are helpful reflections. The mind is our home. Practicing with themes of restraint, mindfulness and careful attention, we have a chance to brighten and purify it.

2019-12-09 How to Stand Back from the Stream of Mind 63:35
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
It can be humbling to recognize that we’re not getting the results we’re going for in practice. We cultivate 4 Dhamma factors – motivation, energy, relinquishment & investigation – to understand the stream of mind we keep getting caught in, and to develop the capacity to stand back from it.

2019-12-09 The Key to Standing Meditation: Balance 23:37
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
If the back is not yet strong enough to sustain the sitting posture, standing offers relief. The feet, legs and ground sustain the upright posture so shoulders and upper body can relax. The key reference is balance.

2019-12-09 Dawn of the Liberating Path - Accomplishment of View 15:48
Shaila Catherine	Download Listen
The Buddha teaches that, just as the dawn precedes the rising sun, so developing certain qualities prepares us for fully engaging in our practice of the Noble Eightfold Path. Seven of these qualities are taught in the Magga Samyutta (SN 45:49-90): good friends, and the accomplishments in virtue, desire, self, view, diligence, and careful attention. This series of brief talks, Shaila Catherine introduces each of these qualities and illuminates how their development can support our path to liberation.

2019-12-09 Skillful Placement of the Mind 38:47
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
Beginning our day, we realize the potential of the mind for confusion or clarity. We need to be quick to steer the mind towards the skillful. In puja we raise up skillful qualities of Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha as images and perceptions. This establishes a tone of brightness, persistence and open-heartedness.

2019-12-08 The Path to Liberation Is through Direct Experience 53:17
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
There are two modes of experience, conceived and direct. Conceived experience keeps us stuck in the endless cycle of saṃsara. The way out is through direct experience. Practice with sensing the direct experience of body.

2019-12-08 Puja: A Purification Process 1:16:15
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
Puja is more than just thinking and recollecting. It’s very much an embodied, vocalized, participatory practice. You don’t really think about puja, you do it. In the doing of it there’s a particular energy, a collective harmony and a collective action that has purification effects.
