The Pervasiveness of Citta
8:19
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
When citta is released from its obstructions, its nature is to saturate clarity and well-being into whatever it comes into contact with. It’s not something you do, it’s something that happens when the unskillful and stressful are released.

Cultivating Tolerant and Kindly Space
38:49
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The theme of restraint in Dhamma practice helps keep energy collected rather than running out. This moderating of saṇkhārā is how one begins to turn away from the aggregates, from the assumptions and habitual grasping that cause suffering. A more flexible and beautiful state becomes available to meet what arises.

Accepting without Adopting

Exploring the experience of transitioning between postures, notice the space and what arises within it. What counts is not what arises but how your awareness responds without resisting, contracting or adopting.

Listening Space
10:22
|

Ajahn Sucitto
|
|

Embarrassing and unwanted moods and perceptions can arise and pass through space. They don’t get stuck by the reactions of the personality. We practice to sense space around the body so that we can eventually generate space around mental content.

|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The unawakened citta always reacts and tries to interpret what’s happening. Rather than interpret experience, notice the stress building up. Hover over the difficult feeling and equanimity, compassion, goodwill gradually comes in.
