Quick Wisdom
/

2021.10.07 | Those who have trained their minds in meditation in the past can learn and understand things quickly. We can learn from the examples of Venerable Sariputta understanding Venerable Assaji’s brief teaching, and from Venerable Bhadda Kundalakesa, the Bhikkhuni foremost in quick understanding. We also reflect on the benefits of ordination.

Understanding What We're Doing
/

2021.10.06 | While being dependent on and using the necessities of life—food, shelter, clothing and medicine—it’s important that we reflect on them, being aware of why we are using them. The same holds true for special practices we may take up; we need to understand what their purposes are.

Inner Peace from Mindfulness
/

In this videoconference talk from 29 Oct, 2021, Ajahn Anan talks about the inner peace that comes from having mindfulness. When we are able to know with mindfulness and wisdom, the various moods and sense objects as they arise, we can realise true peace.

“There was once when venerable Ajahn Chah was discussing Dhamma with a western monk, Ajahn Chah said that even if you go up to the moon, to Mars, or go anywhere at all, we will still have suffering there if our hearts don’t have right view. So we need to try to be able to train in this.”

Correcting Distorted Perceptions
/

In this talk, Ajahn Anan tells how viewing the body as being stable, a source of happiness, a self, and beautiful are insane perceptions that cause our hearts to be enveloped in darkness. When we perceive the body as unattractive, however, our minds turn bright and radiant.

Talent vs Persistence
/

In this videoconference talk from 8 Oct, 2021, Ajahn Anan talks about the results that come about from ‘talent’, which is a result of merit done in past lives, and ‘persistence’, which is the effort one must put forth in this life. “So talent could be called an old merit, which has been done in…

The Mind Beyond the World
/

2021.10.05 | Like Anathapindika and Lady Visakha, we train in giving, virtue, and mental cultivation. We train ourselves in mindfulness and wisdom to know sense impressions as they arise such that the mind may cross over sense impressions and go beyond the world.

Of the Nature to Change
/

2021.10.04 | We can observe change in many ways – natural disasters change the outer environment, our bodies age, get sick, and die, pandemics arise and cease, possessions are gained and lost, perceptions and sense contacts come and go, obstacles arise and cease, and so on. If we practise the eightfold path, we can overcome ignorance regarding reality. May we all be intent on this.

Sīla, Samādhi & Paññā
/

2021.10.03 | It’s important for us to be virtuous people as this allows us to live together in happiness and experience inner peace. This calm mind then becomes a suitable foundation for cultivating samādhi. Even though this stage of samādhi is tough, if we are sincere in our efforts, we can certainly achieve it. And with a firm and energised mind, insight and knowledge into the Dhamma can arise.

Loving-Kindness and Compassion
/

2021.10.02 | Loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity are known as the Four Divine Abidings (brahmaviharas). They are meditation objects that we can use to bring our minds to samadhi. Loving-kindness is also one of the protective meditations. With a heart of loving-kindness, we are naturally well-established in the first precept and do not wish harm to others.

The Path that Leads Beyond the World
/

2021.09.30 | There are many roads in this world, and many ways to travel along them, but they can only take us around this world. We also have this Noble Path, however, and by following it, we can leave this world and go beyond suffering.
