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.

In this Dhamma discourse, Ajahn Anan speaks on the importance of forgiveness and understanding. When we are involved with others, be it in a monastery, a family, or at work, we should realize that it’s natural for us to hold different opinions. The difference between harmony and conflict lies in our relationship to our views, and how strongly we attach to them.

In this videoconference talk from 12 March, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses the goal of Nibbana.
“And the highest of these 38 blessings is making Nibbana clearly visible, leading to the goal of the Buddha’s teachings in this dispensation. It is taking the mind to the highest point, developing the mind to the highest. Because it is leading to the goal at the end of the path for the mind. We could compare it to setting a goal of leading one’s life to having the highest happiness.”
In the cycle of birth and death there are no winners or losers. If we see the danger of being trapped in this cage, we gain the incentive to practice the Dhamma and rise above birth and death.

2021.02.27 | When we have a firm faith in the Triple Gem, our efforts will be aroused to reach Nibbāna. We gain the energy and strength to do things we previously thought we couldn’t do.
