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.

2022-06-24 Q&A 48:30
(précis) 00:00 Q1 You speak of “an energy body”. I feel energy passing through my physical body but what is the difference between the two bodies? How do they interact? 42:16 Q2 During walking meditation I had the feeling that I no longer existed as a person. Everything was concentrated in the present moment and the sound of a bell ringing lasted for an eternity. The experience unsettled me. ((précis) 00:00 Q1 Vous parlez d'« un corps énergétique ». Je sens de l'énergie traverser mon corps physique mais quelle est la différence entre les deux corps ? Comment interagissent-ils ? 42:16 Q2 Pendant la marche méditative, j'ai eu le sentiment que je n'existais plus en tant que personne. Tout était concentré dans l'instant présent et le son d'une cloche durait une éternité. L'expérience m'a déstabilisé.)

(précis) 00:00 Q1 When an emotion or unpleasant feeling like anger or fear arises, should we carry on meditating on the breath or should we reflect and analyze? 28:02 Q2 Can you explain more about cleansing and transmuting afflictive emorions in one's heart? 45:19 Q3 Is it possible that pleasant sensations can help us live a more serene life even if they are impermanent? 48:28 Q4 Regarding the group form, why do we simply have to listen and only share in the small groups? ((précis) 00:00 Q1 Lorsqu'une émotion ou un sentiment désagréable comme la colère ou la peur surgit, doit-on continuer à méditer sur la respiration ou doit-on réfléchir et analyser ? 28:02 Q2 Pouvez-vous en dire plus sur la purification et la transmutation des émotions afflictives dans le cœur? 45:19 Q3 Est-il possible que des sensations agréables puissent nous aider à vivre une vie plus sereine même si elles sont éphémères ? 48:28 Q4 Concernant la forme de groupe, pourquoi devons-nous simplement écouter et ne partager qu'en petits groupes?)

2022-06-23 Guided meditation - cultivation of goodwill 45:48
Using breath we fill a bubble that is almost an aspect of our body, allowing it to diffuse as we exhale. We release the unneeded and bring in what is needed - lightness, warmth or freshness, humour. We allow goodwill to manifest, just this. (En utilisant la respiration, nous remplissons une bulle qui est presque un aspect de notre corps, lui permettant de se diffuser lorsque nous expirons. Nous libérons l'inutile et apportons ce qui est nécessaire - légèreté, chaleur ou fraîcheur, humour. Nous permettons à la bonne volonté de se manifester, juste cela. )

2022-06-23 Heart energies 67:56
The subtle energies of practicing generosity include feelings of gratitude or respect, avoiding the pitfalls (e.g.) of a sense of obligation or comparison with others. This is right motivation. We note the beauty of our own heart, steady and receptive, void of ill will. (Les énergies subtiles de la pratique de la générosité incluent des sentiments de gratitude ou de respect, évitant les pièges (par exemple) d'un sentiment d'obligation ou de comparaison avec les autres. C'est la bonne motivation. Nous notons la beauté de notre propre cœur, stable et réceptif, dépourvu de mauvaise volonté.)

00:00 You said the citta is concerned with security and nourishment and that it was not personal. Is that before conditioning or before birth? (00:00 Vous avez dit que le citta concerne la sécurité et la nourriture et que ce n'était pas personnel. Est-ce avant le conditionnement ou avant la naissance ?)

2022-06-21 An approach to Meditation 25:01
Tuning into the rhythms of the body and its breathing, we are aware of an impression in the heart. Sympathy or empathy is available to meet this. Relax. Let the body breathe undisturbed. (En accord avec les rythmes du corps et de sa respiration, nous sommes conscients d'une impression dans le cœur. La sympathie ou l'empathie est disponible pour répondre à cela. Relaxer. Laissez le corps respirer sans être dérangé.)

2022-05-29 Opening and Closing in Goodwill 52:29
Opening and closing happens everywhere, even with breathing. Discharging creates space for enjoyment, spontaneity and flexibility. Eventually even energy must be relinquished, so we practice recollection of death using the brahma viharas to expand awareness, closure with no regret, the deathless.

with Ajahn Sucitto, Laura Bridgman
(Questions are précised and read later into the file to protect participants’ anonymity) 00:11 Q1 I’ve felt a lot more alive and sensitive over the retreat, experiencing a lot of inwards and outwards connectivity. How does that affect the deepening of practice? And also are the experience of chi and piti related? What about after leaving the retreat, is the loss of sensitivity inevitable? 13:20 Q2 Can you say more about “the imaginal practices”? Please expand on how chanting can re-pattern emotional energy. 23:20 Q3 I’m having new meditative experiences that make me excited and even a bit fearful in seeing consciousness as impermanent. Can you advise please? 23:03 Q4 Is it automatic that samadhi will lead to discernment?
