2021.03.06 | Suppose we have a glass of clean water, or some delicious food on a very beautiful plate, and some hair falls into that. Then immediately, we get the feeling that the food is unclean. The water that was pure before has now become dirty, and that happens instantly. We can contemplate the hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth and skin, until samadhi arises and joy comes up.

2021.03.06 | Sila, virtue, is an important condition that we try to develop because it is what allows mindfulness and samadhi to come up, and this brings us a lot of benefits. When our samadhi is well-established, it will cultivate wisdom. When wisdom is established, then it will culminate in liberation.

We need to have an instrument to measure our hearts, to know how they are and what they’re doing. That instrument is mindfulness. When we are aware of our inner world, then we can adjust our practice according to its state. If our hearts are gloomy, there are many ways to lift them up.

2021.03.01 | The wise say Nibbāna is supreme, so we have to give it all we have to get there. But, at the same time, it’s not beyond what we are capable of.

2021.02.28 | If we focus externally, we’ll believe that our problems are caused by other people and the ways they treat us. If we look within, however, we’ll gain the accurate understanding that all our problems arise from attachment to a sense of self. This path takes us to putting down ‘me’ and ‘mine,’ thus freeing us from all difficulties and issues.

Starting by praising the benefits of chanting, Ajahn Anan then reflects upon emptiness. When we see clearly into emptiness, our inner nature of awakening emerges in our hearts.

In this videoconference talk from 19 March, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses the parami of Nekkhamma, renunciation.
“In the Buddhist Mahayana tradition, 20th March 2021 is the anniversary of when the Buddha practised Nekkhamma parami, the spiritual perfection of renunciation. So we can reflect on the Bodhisattva who was born as the son of the great King Suddhodana, and who had the parami to rule over the four directions as a wheel-turning monarch. However, he saw that no matter how much power and virtue he had like this, it would not lead to freedom from old age, sickness and death. He must still part from loved ones and loved things. So he renounced everything in order to realise the truth, and spread the Dhamma until it reached us.”
If we don’t know of a higher happiness, then we’ll stubbornly cling to our current views and habits. Even if someone tries to pull us up, we won’t want to go. So, we must learn to let go of our thoughts in order to cultivate our minds to the highest level.
