2020-10-24 The Doing and Non-Doing of Meditation 20:08
Ajahn Sucitto
Download Listen
Meditation has two aspects: the limiting of mental activity and the staying on track with the heart. Resolution and mindfulness of body act as supports. Use embodied energy to restrain ‘doingness’, and to clear and fortify the heart so that wisdom can arise.

2020-10-17 Contemplation: A Special Friend of Mindfulness 16:58
Ayya Medhanandi
Download Listen
Practice deepens when we are present here and now, able to intuitively understand and contemplate our experience rather than knowing it through concepts. We refine mindfulness with wisdom, receive the moment humbly and offer our full attention and devotion to know what is before us. When Truth rushes in, we forgive more and we grieve less.

2020-10-17 Mind Like A Satellite - Respect, Extraordinary Mindfulness and Wisdom 38:29
Ayya Medhanandi
Download Listen
A mind weeded of impurities is a field of stillness and wisdom where our suffering melts away. How does this happen? We study the mind and apply four facets of an extraordinary proactive mindfulness: exerted effort, penetrating focus on the object of awareness, heroic diligence, and contemplative devotion. In the silence of the undistracted mind, wisdom and a true and sustainable happiness arise.
