2018-11-09 05 The Wisdom Faculty 52:10
Ajahn Sucitto
The search for happiness, security and steadiness binds us in a tangle of stressful and unsatisfactory experiences – because we’re looking in the wrong place. Wisdom/discernment helps us detangle and discern what to set aside and what is worth bearing in mind.

2018-11-08 04 Calm and Discernment Work in Tandem 20:02
Ajahn Sucitto
Discernment helps filter from the amalgam of experience what’s skillful now. Having picked up what is skillful one lingers in it, dwells in it, sustains it. This is calming. So skim off stressful habits of “trying to make it work”, “getting on to the next”. Use the body to learn what the mind is happy to linger in.

2018-11-08 03 Regaining Our Natural Intelligence 37:28
Ajahn Sucitto
In meditation both the topic and the manner in which we attend can help train our mode of mental engagement. Shifting from stressful tendencies of “making it happen” and “getting it right”, come back to the natural body. This living system is the source for a steady, safe and easeful state.

2018-11-07 Dukkha and the End of Dukkha--Individual and Collective 1:24:07
Donald Rothberg
We explore the core teaching of the Buddha; he says, "I teach one thing and one thing only, dukkha and the end of dukkha." We examine how we can understand and practice this teaching in terms both of individual and collective dukkha, especially understanding dukkha as reactivity.

2018-11-07 02 Going for Refuge - Reorientation of Citta 58:37
Ajahn Sucitto
What is it that we need to take Refuge from? The poisons of greed, hatred and delusion that mask themselves and corrupt our hearts and minds. This requires reorienting from worldly ways and orienting around what has value and meaning, that which you can trust: virtue, embodiment, nature and other people.
