April 07, 2021 Not-Self Contemplation with the Breath | Buddhist Guided Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | Anatta-Sañña Anapanasati
In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha suggests to develop the perception of:
"Not-Self; Not-Me; Not-I; Not-Mine"
together with the breath as our meditation object.

We we try to quieten down in meditation, we're often assailed by all kinds of thoughts, worries and images arising in our mind. Rather than fighting them or trying to suppress them, we regard all disturbing thoughts, emotions, phantasies, and so on as:
This is not me. This is not mine This is not my Self.

Seen as not really belonging to us, they loose their power over us, and we can let go of them. Additionally, 'Anatta-Saññā' can be applied even to our meditation object, the breath itself. If we see the breath as 'not-me', we do not hold it too tightly, and the meditation goes swimmingly.

March 31, 2021 Beginners Mind vs Autopilot
Like in a Tesla on autonomous driving mode, we're in danger of meditating and living our whole life on automatic pilot: Stuck in conventions, routines and habits.
Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to break out of conventionality, to live and meditate with 'Beginners Mind': Aware, mindful, open and free.

March 26, 2021 The Buddha's Most Revolutionary Teaching
We've all heard the old adage: "No pain - no gain!" In the Buddha's time, they took that to the extreme and thought that to reach the highest gain, enlightenment, one would have to forgo all pleasure, and endure the most intense pain. Even the Bodhisatta fell into that trap and mortified his body with the most extreme ascetic practices.But when he had fasted himself close to death, he finally had the crucial insight: We only have to abondon sensual and unwholesome happiness. But wholesome happiness of generosity, virtue and samādhi is nothing to be feared.Spiritual happiness should be developed, and is the path to awakening.We can use happiness as a means to attain even more happiness.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.vimeo.com/dhammatalks

March 25, 2021 Metta to Oneself is SO IMPORTANT
Mettā, Loving Kindness, is unconditional - every being deserves our Loving Kindness, without having to fulfill any 'conditions' beforehand whatsoever. And that applies equally to ourselves.
We deserve our own loving kindness, no matter what we did or didn't do, no matter what bad qualities we may still have, or what good qualities we may still lack. We fully qualify and unconditionally wish ourselves well, 'warts and all', according to the instructions of the Buddha, simply because we are a living being.

March 19, 2021 Are You a Good or a Bad Doctor for Your Mind?
A good doctor listens carefully, examines the patient thoroughly, and prescribes medicine only after he arrived at a well considered and investigated diagnosis.Is that how we treat the ailments of our own mind?Or are we a bad doctor in treating our own mind, immediately applying a standard solution?And when our treatment doesn't work, are we willing to re-investigate and apply a more suitable medicine, or are we just following a "more of the same" approach?Have we properly diagnosed whether our mind suffers from anger, or anxiety, or depression, or restlessness, or greed, or confusion...?Do we use the most appropriate meditation for each of these conditions to treat them?www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.vimeo.com/dhammatalks

March 18, 2021 Our Thoughts Shape Our Character - Ajahn Dhammasiha
Often we mistakingly believe that thoughts are not so important, as only bodily actions and speech create heavy Karma, not mere fleeting thoughts.But as we think, so the mind will gradually incline. If we regularly think angry thoughts, the mind will incline towards anger. If we think thoughts of loving kindness, the mind will incline towards loving kindness. The inclination forms a habit, and the habit finally becomes an ingrained charactertrait in our heart.Thus, over time these seemingly unimportant and fleeting thoughts actually shape our character. We can gradually train ourselves to become patient, kind, generous, calm and wise, even if we're currently still show the opposite traits!www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.vimeo.com/dhammatalks

March 17, 2021 Body Sweeping | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | Kayagatasati
We're often too much in our heads. Body Sweeping is a technique to bring our awareness back into the body.
We move our mindfulness gently throughout our physical body:
We try to feel and experience every limb and part of our own body directly from inside, from the top of our head down to the the tip of our toes.

March 11, 2021 Our Thinking Makes Us Suffer
It's amazing how much of our anguish, heartache and suffering is actually caused by our own thinking!Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to analyze carefully and honestly how the very thinking process we're so attached to, and that we strongly identify with as 'me', 'mine' and 'self', is actually generating so much of our internal pain.Once we mindfully become aware of that, we can challange our absolute belief in the 'truth' of our thoughts, change our thought patterns to become more wholesome, and ultimately let go of attachment to thinking.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.vimeo.com/dhammatalks
