2015-12-31 Look Near, Look Far 60:04
Ajahn Sucitto
[Begins 3:25] On this eve of New Year’s Day, Ajahn Sucitto recommends a Buddhist resolution: Look near, look far. We can use this to work with the hindrances. Look near: look right into your heart, into how the body and breathing are affected. Look far: consider the consequences, where contentment and happiness actually come from. The hindrances can help us adjust our lives, they tell us where we’re off track. [Ends58:45]

Tara Brach
The archetypal figure of the Bodhisattva (“awakening being”) reflects our potential to realize our connectedness with all beings, and care for this living world with an open tender heart. This talk explores the four types of patterning that keep us stuck in the pain of separation and the key heart practices that evolve us on the bodhisattva path. "Compassion arises when you see the truth behind the veils."

2015-12-31 The Buddha’s Discourse on Emptiness 51:05
Ajahn Sucitto
Introducing the Buddha’s lesser discourse on emptiness, Ajahn Sucitto refers to his own experience on sabbatical for a year. He describes ‘uninventing’ himself, tuning into the signless – anicca and anata. Whatever we think, conceive, generate has been generated by mind and is subject to change. How to cultivate recognition of what’s not there, emptiness.

2015-12-31 Picking Up a Sign and Making Much of It 18:54
Ajahn Sucitto
When starting meditation, begin with balancing and calming the body and breathing, but just getting it good enough. This is something that is gained through direct practice over time. Bring certain signs (nimita) to mind to aid in calming. The mind’s tendency is to focus on negative things. Practice bringing the beautiful to mind and make much of it.
