Right Attitude in Relationships - The Mountaintop
/

From this videoconference talk from 12 April 2019, Ajahn Anan discusses having the right attitude in relationships and discusses a Zen story on this topic.

An excerpt: “Last week we learned that for the mind to have happiness in life, it must have the 4 divine abidings of metta, or loving kindness, karuna, or compassion, mudita, or appreciate joy, and upekkha, or equanimity. When the mind has these 4 divine abidings to a good level, then the 5 moral precepts can be maintained with ease. This is because, with the four divine abidings, we are happy when others do well, and when others make mistakes out of delusion, we don’t punish them for it and we have equanimity. We wait for the time when we can help them according to our ability.”

Coping with Covid-19 through Virtue and Concentration
/

In this videoconference talk from 10 April, 2020, Ajahn Anan discusses virtue and concentration as ways to help deal with the virus pandemic currently affecting the world, Covid-19.

An excerpt: “…if they uphold sila, then this leads to peace. What are the benefits of sila? silena sugatim yanti- sila leads to happiness. Silena bhoga sampada – sila leads to wealth in one’s mind – it is a noble wealth. Sila leads coolness (peacefulness) to arise – that is nibbana.”

The Wisdom of Children
/

In this videoconference talk from 28 September 2018, Ajahn Anan discusses the wisdom of children.

An excerpt: “Those of us who are old should reflect that we should cultivate noble inner virtues, as well. We should see that those younger than us may be older in their hearts with the wealth of noble virtue. Let us contemplate like this, for us to let go of our ego and views within our heart. This is the path to meet with true happiness.”

Three Old Men
/

In this videoconference talk from 23 November 2018, Ajahn Anan discusses a parable about three old men: love, wealth and success.

An excerpt: “In our daily lives we may meet with many types of suffering. If our money and wealth lessens, then suffering arises. But it’s not that if we have more money and wealth, then we will have more happiness. Because we will have clinging arise, right? So if we have no wisdom, then suffering will arise in our hearts.”
