Contemplation: A Special Friend of Mindfulness
16:58
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
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.

Mind Like A Satellite - Respect, Extraordinary Mindfulness and Wisdom
38:29
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
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.
