All the actions we create get stored in our mind, like how a single seed stores roots, leaves, branches and fruit within it. All it takes are the right conditions, and those things will manifest. Therefore, creating goodness and abandoning evil are of great importance.

It’s normal for us to meet with difficulties along this path, but they don’t go away just because we don’t like them. Instead, we must figure out a way of clearing these obstacles out and then steadily go about doing it. None of the Buddha’s teachings are beyond our capabilities.

It’s natural for us to want to know which method of practice will give us the fastest results. But this attitude of wanting things quick can easily stir our hearts into a mess. Ajahn Anan tells us how the best way of cutting through this line of thinking—and the doubts that produce it—is the reflection on emptiness.
In this videoconference talk from 29 January, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses samadhi – concentration or collectedness.
“…So try to train in samadhi well. Restrain your actions and speech to be within sila, restrain the mind to have samadhi, and ultimately you will progress to have wisdom, step by step, until one sees the Dhamma. May you all have happiness and prosperity, may you grow in blessings.”
In the beginning, the minds of most beings are weighed down by the defilements. But as we progress along this path of generosity, virtue and meditation, they grow lighter, and are able to rise up to higher and higher levels.

In this talk, Ajahn Anan tells us how to make our mindfulness like a spider waiting in the middle of its web. He then goes on to teach how we don’t need to concern ourselves with developing deep levels of samādhi, or seeing visions; we just need to straighten out our views.

In the many years since Luang Pu Chah’s passing in 1992, this is the first year Ajahn Anan has not been to his Memorial Day gathering at Wat Nong Pa Pong due to the pandemic. He gave this talk at Wat Marp Jan on how Luang Pu Chah is still with us in his teachings. If we have deep respect for him, we should practice what he taught until we reap their liberating results.
