At the birthday celebration for Ajahn Sumedho and Ajahn Pasanno, Ajahn Sumedho reflects on key aspects of the four noble truths, and the first three fetters: self view, cultural conditioning and doubt. He encourages us to investigate these and take refuge in poised attention - a patient alertness which is natural, impersonal, peaceful, here and now. Nibbana is not high. One can realize empty consciousness. Through relinquishment and relaxed attention which sees the way it is, there is contentment. This talk was offered by Luang Por Sumedho on July 23, 2017 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.
