A talk on the occasion of Magha Puja (February 26, 2021) by Venerable Ajahn Anan Akincano.
“Whether lying down or sitting in a quiet place, one must put down all sense stimulation. Be determined to train one’s mind, to make one’s mind peaceful, and to be concentrated in samadhi. Make the mind greater than the ordinary level that already possesses goodness, such as giving alms and keeping the moral precepts. But the thinking still doesn’t stop, so we then train the mind to be concentrated in samadhi. Then we will see the enormous value of the teachings of the Lord Buddha. This is the principle of Dhamma practice and of developing the mind (bhavana). However you practice, may you all, the monks and laity, see the Dhamma in this life.”
2021.02.16 | If you spent a whole year building a strong and beautiful home, what would it take for someone to convince you to pull it down? When the mind has resided in this body since birth and is clinging so tightly to it, how can we get it to let go?

English devotional chanting for the occasion of Magha Puja.
2021.02.15 | Really, there is no one who walks the path; no one who sees the Dhamma, no one who knows the Dhamma, and no one who is freed from suffering. Everything is empty. This is how the awakened mind sees things.

2021.02.10 | The Buddha went through so much difficulties to discover this Noble Path and reveal it to us, and all we have to do is walk along it. So, whether we are energetic, lazy, doubtful or impatient, we just carry on walking. In the end, we’ll get there.

Time consumes everything, including itself. The Buddha, therefore, taught us not to be heedless. We should endeavor to cultivate our inner virtues by being generous and moral, and making meditation practice a normal part of our everyday lives. If we can do this, in no long time we can realize the truth.

Everyone wishes for wisdom, and we all do have it to one degree or another to make our way in the world. But the wisdom that can illuminate the truth is a different kind—one that must be based on a virtuous and calm mind. This is what we gain through our practice.

The truth is right in front of our nose, so why don’t we see it? It’s because our minds are dark. Just as if there is no external light, we can’t perceive forms; when our minds lack radiance, they can’t understand Dhamma. When we settle our hearts down, however, they grow bright, and here wisdom can emerge.
