From this videoconference talk from 31 May 2019, Ajahn Anan how to support oneself in the practice.

An excerpt: "And now, we will look at the saying from the Mangala Sutta, “To see a samana, a renunciant, is one of the highest blessings of one’s life.” Seeing a samana also means seeing inner peace, which means seeing the mind, our mind. When our mind knows the truth, then it has inner peace. This is a virtue, so we need to be intent to train our mind a lot."
