Ajahn Sucitto
The presentation of the satipatthana is of experience divided between ‘me’ and ‘the world’. Through practice, we see through this boundary and undertake the responsibility of participating in and co-generating a reality rooted in Dhamma.

The renunciate quality of retreat removes our psychological cushions. Therefore soothing, not intensity, is needed. Gaining health and psychological flex, we can disband the fantasies that haunt the heart.

2025-06-25 The Big Picture 2: Nine Ways of Deepening Daily Life Practice 65:55
Donald Rothberg
We continue our series of meditations and talks exploring the foundations of contemporary Buddhist practice. We begin by reviewing last week's talk on the basic model of Buddhist meditation, identifying three aspects of practice. These three are (1) developing samadhi or concentration; (2) cultivating three modes of liberating insight--into impermanence, dukkha or reactivity, and not-self; and (3) opening to awakened awareness. Then we focus on a crucial, central, and not always developed dimension of contemporary practice, especially for the vast majority of Western Buddhist practitioners who do not live in monastic contexts--bringing practice to everyday life. We identify nine ways of deepening daily life practice (see the attached document, #314). The talk is followed by discussion.
