Introduction to Precepts
Ajahn Sucitto
Living, Dying and Liberation – Online Retreat – Day 1, talk 2
The fundamental citta sense is an ethical sense. We try to encourage that with precepts. This is how we align ourselves to citta.
Sila Practice
Ajahn Sucitto
Living, Dying and Liberation – Online Retreat – Day 1, talk 3
Precepts are what most skilfully link citta to the world of sense contact. Without this ethical sense, citta runs out and gets into damaging circumstances. Precepts are the way you communicate the Dhamma through your actions into the world.
Samādhi Practice
Ajahn Sucitto
Living, Dying and Liberation – Online Retreat – Day 1, talk 4
With the sīla practice in place, we give attention to samādhi practice – finding our center within the world of sense contact. From this steady place we are present, witnessing, attuning to how citta is touched by it all.
