Ajahn Sucitto
To internalize Buddha, we can direct mindfulness to each of the four bodily postures. Through these they will guide our psychologies to balance and steadiness in the midst of conditions.
Ajahn Sucitto
By holding to the frame of the body, we allow its somatic presence to unfold. This also serves to undo the heart’s contractions – such as ill-will and craving.
Ajahn Sucitto
The Buddha’s Awakening and release came through firm intent, and through rigorous inquiry into the roots of mental behaviour: something we can all practise.
Ajahn Sucitto
Everything we experience is felt – it causes a movement of nervous energy. This stimulates consciousness and stirs the heart (citta). By managing and stopping consciousness, citta is purified and released.
An outline of the Dhamma culture that Ajahn Chah and the Forest Ajahns developed.
On the Full Moon Observance night of May, Ajahn Karuniko encourages the Cittaviveka community to not settle for attainments in only virtue, concentration or special experiences. He explains how insight and true knowledge, the heartwood of the tree, are what the Buddha wanted us to attain and thus know the end of suffering.
As Cittaviveka’s winter retreat draws to a close, Ajahn Cittapala reflects on the central role of right view in the Buddha’s teaching. She examines how all other path factors are influenced and dependant on right view, and examines how to distinguish between and develop its mundane and supramundane aspects.
Ajahn Karuniko reflects on his own personal experiences, including his first visit to Wat Pah Nanachat, to show how he once overcame fear by returning to an awareness of the physical body. He relates an experience he once had on a snow capped mountain in Slovenia, where, by facing a perilous situation one step at a time, the final result was an enjoyable ascent.
