Impermanence

A lot of understanding can come from reflecting on the way impermanence shows itself in our lives both outwardly and inwardly, including our vulnerability to aging and death. But even more penetrating insight comes to the mind that has become still through meditation. Through this way of seeing, the truth of impermanence sinks into our bones and the wisdom of non-clinging becomes very obvious.

In meditation we want to penetrate the depths of mind, to get the roots of our habits, attitudes, beliefs. We go through the body because it’s easier to discern as an object than mind. Steadying and calming the body energies, wisdom builds up, begins to know cause and effect, what leads to clarity, what leads to release.

Attention, Intention, Energy and Awareness

Ajahn Sucitto

Two factors play a part in the way the mind operates – attention and intention. Both are conditioned, and both carry energy. Attention limits the span of awareness, intention defines the quality of it. A lot of the problems in meditation can be resolved through attention, intention and bringing the right kind of energy to them.
