"A mendicant develops and cultivates the seven awakening factors depending on and grounded on ethics, acquiring great and abundant good qualities." This reflection points out several ways that virtue supports us in our practice, as the "water for arahant soup".

Through consciousness, boundaries form between subject and object; thus, me and the world. Through the stress of that, the me closes into a bag. Defense and acquisition strategies. Heart (citta) is not consciousness and can turn away from creating the same me bag. This is through regulating inner-outer sensitivities to a harmonious whole.

However, bringing kind awareness to this tendency can be a major support for living our lives fully in the present moment.

Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
A talk given at the Insight Meditation Center of Western Mass with QnA. Questions are précised: Q1 33:26 You were talking about the inner and outer skin. It seems this inner skin creates suffering. How do we start to be able to deal with this?Q2 37:34 Those words: Open, allow, let go are such a release. But something can happen that scares me, fear of annihilation. How do you practice with the insecurity of monastic life without being scared? Q3 42:03 In moving from control, do you go through indifference? Q4 43:50 Would you mind speaking about qualities of willfulness, striving, urgency, rigidity around meditation and holding attention in the body and that urgency. Q5 52:10 I feel very uplifted being so close to a monastic. Could you say something about the challenges and the fruits of being in robes for so long?
