Breaking out of the Box

Ajahn Sucitto

Winter Retreat morning dhamma reflection recorded on 27th March 2021.

Conditioned by ignorance, we can end up concocting the very scenarios we feel trapped in. The citta leaves its own centre and gets stuck in conditions. Samādhi gives us the possibility of disengaging from the tangles, and allowing wisdom to be directed to the heart of the problem – ignorance and outflows. This directed wisdom can dismantle the box we unconsciously create for ourselves.
