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

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Coming Out Of The Boxes Of consciousness
    (Cittaviveka) An exploration of the action of becoming, noticing how the sense of who we are arises with reference to past, future, self or other. These are boxes that leave many things out, while homing in on our kammic tendencies. Take action on the enlightenment factors to come out of the boxes.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Patience With Views and All Else
    (Cittaviveka) In meditation, rather than getting involved with liking and disliking, we practise letting things just pass through. The movements are just shifts in energy. Learn how to move with the changes rather than reacting with sorrow, resistance or craving. Cultivate patience with your mind as it rattles on, and with a life that isn’t going the way you want, until the mind becomes big enough to hold it all.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Leaving The Samsaric Home
    (Cittaviveka) The mind drags us into places, and we easily locate ourselves there. This is what I’m stuck in, this is what I am. How to get a handle? The samādhi approach is to deal with the energy, not the topic. The sīla approach is to refer to the skilful. The pañña approach is to recognize this for what it is. We need to know how to handle the energy of the mind, and to practise ethical intentions and investigation.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Mindfulness of Movement
    (Cittaviveka) The underlying bent of the mind is craving, that leaning of the mind to have, get, find, belong. In meditation we practise with loosening that craving energy, and introducing calming subjects for recollection. Walking meditation is a skilful means for loosening and gentling the mind.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Gentling The Mind
    (Cittaviveka) Cultivating a softer happier state of being is valuable in its own right, and also has a profound purpose – to release mental programs that bind us and restrict us, so we can experience a greater sense of ease and freedom.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Transcendence Includes It All
    (Cittaviveka) The process of liberation is sometimes referred to as ‘transcendence’. Transcendence means you meet feeling, and mind gets bigger than that, includes it all. It is a natural mode of the mind, to meet and include. Enlightenment factors enable this stepping back and non-involvement. We can then meet the results of kamma and realize liberation.

  • Ajahn Sucitto: Inherited Kamma-Broadening The Range Of Practice
    (Cittaviveka) In general, practice is about creating the type of environment which can hold, accommodate and handle our kamma – whether that is internal and external. Enlightenment factors work to dissolve the encrusted compulsive reactions. Then we have more space, more choice in what we do and don’t do.

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.
