Ajahn Sucitto's Dharma Talks
Ajahn Sucitto
As a monk, I bring a strong commitment, along with the renunciate flavor, to the classic Buddhist teachings. I play with ideas, with humor and a current way of expressing the teachings, but I don't dilute them.

2025-04-19 Holistic Awareness and Right Livelihood 42:02
Mental consciousness experiences in terms of points and lines, holistic awareness is the mode the body uses for its maintenance, health and balance. This is what we cultivate in meditation, so that the heart attunes to it and is also well-maintained, healthy and liberated from stress. Right livelihood is a matter of sustaining this kind of awareness in terms of duties, collaboration and the welfare of others. These clear mental hindrances and restrictions and bring joy into our daily lives.

2025-04-05 Dhamma transmission is based on a mutual openness 38:05
A review of the Channa Sutta (S.22:90) in which Bhikkhu Channa receives Dhamma through being open and welcomed - despite his bad reputation. The teaching he receives from Ven. Ananda points to the openness beyond affirmation or denial of conditioned existence. This instructs us to handle our intentions, interpretations and perspectives carefully without fixation.

2025-03-27 Light on Path - deconstruct, return to presence 40:30
Cultivate what brings joy, and is immediately accessible. These bring us to our 'Dhamma home'. Here is an unbinding, a subsiding of the complexities of the mind that allows the factors of the Path of Awakening to arise and guide us.

2025-03-26 Light on knowing - empty, open, secure 43:08
What is the knowing? It’s not the phenomena, not the mood, not the mind. It’s a basic openness that helps one get less impacted by the pleasant and unpleasant. Recognize the aggregates and how they are activated, then stay with the knowing where is no establishment, no activation. This knowing makes way for discernment to arise.

2025-03-25 Light on concentration – a skilful gathering of factors and fruits 55:37
Samadhi is generally translated as 'concentration' but it is based on one-pointedness of purpose, rather than on focusing on a point in the body. As a factor of the Path, concentration represents the gathering of uplifting qualities and the removal of hindrances that block wisdom.

2025-03-24 Light on desire 52:54
This is a desire realm - we have desire. We’re not trying to eliminate it, but train it. Where it goes wrong is where desire becomes craving, when it’s shrouded by ignorance. I don’t create craving, craving creates me. Take the me out of it, and there’s the possibility to view things differently. Moments, thoughts, objects, so intensely configured, begin to lose their hard edges. There is a stilling, a chance to clear one’s residues.
