Guided meditation - Wholesome movements from the heart
16:46

Ajahn Sucitto

(10 m silence) Intentions move from the heart out into the world. Greed moves from the heart and reaches out; hatred moves from the heart and fights with things. We can us the brahmavihāras to cultivate wholesome movements from the heart that offer, nourish, protect and uplift. This will keep our energy clean and clear of disturbance.

Q&A differentiation and discernment, tension, goodwill
46:30

Questions are paraphrased: 1. Given the stressfulness of differentiation, is choosing what kind of meditation to practice stressful? 2. (11:30) Is the undifferentiated, the signlessness – the same as emptiness? 3. (24:02) Could you repeat what you were saying about relaxing tense muscles 4. (37:25) What does it mean to imbue the heart with loving kindness, “likewise the second, likewise the third and likewise the fourth”? What is the all encompassing world…?

Instruction - conscious attention

Attention is a constant thing, so if you don’t place it, it will find its own place, and it will generally place itself into suffering – what could be, should be, things we can’t quite manage. Place it somewhere useful, starting with the body. This is the foundation. [10:03 instructions on breathing and breath energy] With good clear breath energy, mind can establish mindfulness. Careful attention prepares the ground so there’s something suitable to be mindful of. [20:10 begin silent sitting meditation]

Intro Sasanarakkha: Make your practice extensive, rather than intensive
62:12

Ajahn Sucitto

|
|
The essence of Buddhist practice is dealing with dukkha, unsatisfactoriness. While on retreat, observing precepts, making determinations and simplicity support our cultivation. So there’s always something you can be cultivating throughout the day. Meditation is just a support to Dhamma, Dhamma is the main thing. Cover it all. [40:36 Guided meditation] Settling practices, settling into space. Begins with feeling ground beneath, upright axis of spine, using wide visual field as a support.
