Ajahn Sucitto's most recent Dharma talks (Gaia House) episodes

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Guided Meditation - Saying Yes to what arises
    (Bandar Utama Buddhist Society) Use the word “yes” to meet whatever is occurring. Without agitation or resistance, without results or trying to change anything. A reference point begins to form, there’s willingness and openness that has its own stature. Use sympathetic resonance with whatever arises.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Evening 30 min Meditation - Mindfulness and full knowing
    (Bandar Utama Buddhist Society) Sati-sampajañña, mindfulness and full knowing, are the basis of mindfulness. These are the holding and handling in meditation. Sati is the foundation for samadhi (unification), sampajañña is the foundation for pañña (wisdom). Sense of ground is generally the necessary starting point. [Instructions end 9:52]

  • Ajahn Sucitto: AM - The natural source of good will is awareness
    (Bandar Utama Buddhist Society) We struggle against the uncertainty and unsatisfactoriness of the phenomenal world. Wisdom lets us know: I can be aware of all of this rather than resist it - I can pause, reflect and determine an appropriate response. As awareness arises the response (not a reaction) is goodwill.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: AM - Working Directly with the citta
    (Bandar Utama Buddhist Society) Puja means to praise or offer the heart to that which is worthy. It’s a going forth of citta from the habits. Citta is not in the head, it’s not a thought. It’s much more direct. Citta gets obscured, but we can clear this by staying with awareness, breathing through blocks, and sustaining the bodily presence. The body gives awareness a foundation; an open heart gives awareness the willingness to be with this process.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: PM - Entering the bodily field
    (Bandar Utama Buddhist Society) Body can be experienced in multiple ways - physical, perceptual, somatic, and energetic. In this light, body is an experience rather than a thing. It plays out in meditation. It’s important to establish a more accurate body, clear of perceptual taints and distortions, biases and kammic impositions.

About Ajahn Sucitto's most recent Dharma talks (Gaia House)

From the publisher's feed

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.
