Morning - Wisdom Covers It All
47:43

Wisdom makes life more manageable, more fun. We can find how we’re generating stress by knowing feeling: “all dhammas converge on feeling.” Trace activations to their roots, identify the feeling, widen to the place where it isn’t. There is a wider domain to feeling, an end to experiencing feeling, both pleasant and unpleasant.

PLEASE NOTE: 'The Mirrored Gates' is a set of talks (recorded by Rob from his home) attempting to clarify, elaborate on, and open up further the concepts, practices, and possibilities explained in previous talks on imaginal practice. Some working familiarity with those previous teachings will provide a helpful foundation for this new set; but a good understanding of and experiential facility with practices of emptiness, samatha, the emotional/energy body, metta, and mindfulness is necessary and presumed, without which these new teachings may be confusing and difficult to comprehend.

Evening Talk: Wisdom of release
17:15
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The 10 Fold Path has to do with the development of release. Sometimes we don’t want things to arise, but they can’t be released otherwise. This is a piece of your kamma, the piece that has to be known, felt, opened to and carefully handled. Then it can dissolve.

Respect means allowing things to be as they are. We developing respect towards others in community and towards ourselves, our body. Practice by tuning into the subjective sense. This heart intention is naturally holistic, inclusive.

Bhāvanā is a cultivation of heart and mind, right motivation and right view. It’s understanding the process of dhammas, not getting involved in content, knowing what’s taking me into my habits. This brings a sense of strength, groundedness and self-respect.
