Ajahn Sucitto's Dharma Talks
Ajahn Sucitto
As a monk, I bring a strong commitment, along with the renunciate flavor, to the classic Buddhist teachings. I play with ideas, with humor and a current way of expressing the teachings, but I don't dilute them.

Buddhaṃ me jīvitaṃ yāva nibbānaṃ saranaṃ gacchāmi Dhammaṃ me jīvitaṃ yāva nibbānaṃ saranaṃ gacchāmi Sanghaṃ me jīvitaṃ yāva nibbānaṃ saranaṃ gacchāami {To the Buddha I go for refuge living my life to realize nibbana To the Dhamma I go for refuge living my life to realize nibbana To the Sangha I go for refuge living my life to realize nibbana}

2025-06-06 Regulating inner with outer 56:38
Through consciousness, boundaries form between subject and object; thus, me and the world. Through the stress of that, the me closes into a bag. Defense and acquisition strategies. Heart (citta) is not consciousness and can turn away from creating the same me bag. This is through regulating inner-outer sensitivities to a harmonious whole.

2025-06-03 Heart + spine = committment 33:14
Effort is the engagement of heart with a topic. In satipatthana, the engagement is with body as an intelligent entity. When heart meets the ‘spinal sense’ there is resolve and stability.

2025-05-30 Embodied awareness and the 'me bag'. 60:30
A talk given at the Insight Meditation Center of Western Mass with QnA. Questions are précised: Q1 33:26 You were talking about the inner and outer skin. It seems this inner skin creates suffering. How do we start to be able to deal with this?Q2 37:34 Those words: Open, allow, let go are such a release. But something can happen that scares me, fear of annihilation. How do you practice with the insecurity of monastic life without being scared? Q3 42:03 In moving from control, do you go through indifference? Q4 43:50 Would you mind speaking about qualities of willfulness, striving, urgency, rigidity around meditation and holding attention in the body and that urgency. Q5 52:10 I feel very uplifted being so close to a monastic. Could you say something about the challenges and the fruits of being in robes for so long?
