When we’ve refined our speech and actions, and learned to settle our minds and gather them inwards, our hearts gain enough energy to see into the truth. By perceiving the nature of ourselves and the world around us, we put down the anger and ignorance that has been burdening us for so long. We are free.
In this talk, Ajahn Anan speaks about how we best teach others by setting an example with our practice, trusting in the path to take us to liberating insight.

2021.04.06 | We can recollect stories of Lord Buddha or his great disciples, such as Queen Samavati, which can give rise to joy, rapture, and peace. With a mind well-collected we can then clearly see anicca, dukkha, and anatta, cutting through the ties that bind us to suffering. With one foot on the shore of freedom, we keep practising to cut through the ties that bind the mind, in order to realize true freedom, true peace and happiness.

2021.04.04 | It’s natural for Dhamma practitioners to want good things, and only good things. We think we should be good people and have no bad thoughts.

In this videoconference talk from 23 April, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses the topic of humbling and lowering oneself, as well as a story of venerable Maha Kassapa.
“Respect and reverence is being aware of the goodness and virtue of others or of other things. And then one behaves to that person with respect and reverence, mainly shown through one’s body and speech. In regards to humility and lowering oneself, this is being aware of oneself and one is able to behave correctly and appropriately.”
