2021.03.24 | The truth that the Buddha discovered pervades the whole universe. Through understanding its emptiness, our mind turns empty and leaves. But it doesn’t actually go anywhere; all of this happens within our heart.

2021.03.23 | If we have wisdom, all of the experiences we have—the things we see, hear and feel—can all become a source of knowledge and faith. The difficulty is when we have an undiscerning mind—everything we contact becomes a source of confusion and turmoil. This is why we must practise.

In this videoconference talk from 16 April, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses the Buddha-nature of every person and how people aren’t high or low according to their birth.
“The Buddha taught that we people aren’t high or low according to our birth. This birth, if we practise goodness, practise with sila dhamma, morality, then we can be high on the level of the mind. We aren’t high or low because of the exterior. The Buddha’s teachings are like a stream of water, and those who learn Dhamma, will gain coolness and happiness. Drinking this water, their thirst will disappear.”
2021.03.22 | Those inclined towards wisdom should use that discernment to always be reflecting upon their experiences—who is the one talking? Who is the one listening? Everything is empty.

The wealth of this world is a source of stress—we have to protect it from dangers and thieves, and even then we may lose it all the same. Virtue, however, provides us with human and divine wealth and leads us to inner peace. When we use this calm mind to reflect upon the nature of reality, we gain the wealth of Nibbāna.

Old age, sickness, and death, are closing in—what should we do? We do goodness with heedfulness. The heedful do not die; the heedless are as if dead already.

Nature has always been the way it is; truth is always true. Even though we may have eyes, if they are closed, everything will be dark. It’s when our minds are full of goodness and our hearts are at peace that we can open our eyes of Dhamma, thereby giving birth to light in our hearts.

If you received news that four great mountains were coming towards you, crushing everything in their path, leaving no chance for escape, what would you do? How are you going to prepare for death?
