The Happiness of Not Having to Be Happy
Ajahn Ahimsako
The Four Postures are Four Buddhas
Ajahn Sucitto

Guided Meditation – A Frame for Purification
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.
Managing the Energetic Basis of Consciousness
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.
