The Four Noble Truths in Action

Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
The Buddha realized a state of pure awakened consciousness. We try to emulate his moral excellence by turning inward to bring the mind to silence. In that stillness, we can relinquish habitual unwholesome and harmful thoughts, thus revealing the same universal moral essence within us – just as in all beings. It is our pathway to the heart’s peace and freedom from suffering. Here, when loving-kindness and compassion preside, the gates to the Deathless are open.

Ayya Anandabodhi

|
|
Ayya Anandabodhi reflects on applying the Four Noble Truths while caring for her elderly mother. The mention of "surrender" in this talk refers to putting one's hands in the air in a surrender position as a response to noticing one is getting contracted or holding on to a position or a view.
