2021.04.15 | In this talk, Ajahn Anan reflects upon the importance of mindfulness, humility, clarity and calm in order to see things for how they actually are.

2021.04.05 | If we live our lives without much awareness or attention, our minds will be unsettled and thinking without end. So we need to find some inner rest, and the place our hearts can relax and recharge is in the practice.

They understand that there is knowledge, but no one who knows.
