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.

In this videoconference talk from 9 April, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses the value of the Dhamma and how fortunate we are to have the conditions to practise it.
“The Buddha was the highest, the Supreme Teacher, complete in all ways and qualities, but his mind still inclined to have homage and respect. But he could not find anyone whom he could respect with regards to sila, samadhi, wisdom, liberation, among the human, deva, Brahma worlds, from all the Maras and Brahmas. He could not find any individual. So the Buddha respected and honored the Dhamma. And the past Buddhas after becoming Enlightened, respected and honored the Dhamma. And the future Buddhas who will attain Enlightenment, will respect and honor the Dhamma.”
In this talk, Ajahn Anan speaks about the importance of cultivating the true refuge of the Triple Gem rather than allowing the mind to get deluded by the false refuges of superstition, wealth, and entertainment.

Beginning with a reflection on the benefits of contemplating Dhamma, Ajahn Anan then tells stories of his teachers. Firstly, Luang Pu Boonnaa and the joy found in being verbally harassed by a nun. Then many beautiful tales of Luang Pu Chah and his skill in guiding his disciples. One of them is about a train ride they had together to Bangkok, which illustrates the reverence and admiration Ajahn Anan has for his teacher.

When we endure the difficulties that present themselves in the initial stages of the practice, our hearts start to gain peace and clarity. They stop swinging between attraction and aversion, staying settled and centered, like a still pendulum.
