Truly wise and helpful Teacher🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for clear wise teachings

お願いします。どうか世界中に仏陀の教えを広めてください🙏 生きとし生けるものが幸せでありますように

Deep thanks for such clear instruction about the path to freedom.

I just got it: the reason the Buddha did not want to indulge us into knowing the secrets of the Universe is because we will loose out path to liberation and once again get stuck into addiction of wanting to know all the detail of where we came from and where we are going. In a sense Buddha is empowering us to become liberated and then we will know directly for ourselves. He was smart because he knows how easily we can get off the track!

I get so much out of listening to Ajahn Sucitto's talks, very helpful.

So perfect and so beautiful

Ah... Umm.. You know..

This was very useful. I also have bouts of leaning on alcohol to hide from my problems. I appreciate the honesty here.

Thank you, great talk!

Thank you so much for this understanding of our minds. I can understand why, I, and many people hold to grudges. Recognising this helps us to become aware of anger , which blocks wisdom.

So many ads. Otherwise, a beautiful meditation.

Thank you, Ajhan really understands the breath

Thank you for this such a wonderful teacher

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom.

Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu. ❤

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. IT JESUS CHRIST . You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 NIV

Brilliant. The knowledge of how to debilitate sankaras is priceless. Thank you for teaching this, and for learning it! 🙏 Om mani padme hum

Beautiful! Thank you 🙏

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😊☀️🌼🌸

❤thx

The heart of this beautiful Bhikkhu continues to bless my life thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Dear Ajahn, your description of trying to be careful not to injure small insects was so touching. I think your attitude is what inspired me to take an interest in a documentary on Native American bee keeping practices. They demonstrated moving the bees with a feather, brilliant! The next time I removed a cricket from my bathtub, it was so amazing, I brushed him over to my hand, he jumped a couple of times but I succeeded in carrying him, open handed, out the door where I let him jump off my hand into the grass. I was so happy.

This is not a guiden meditation...but very interesting nonetheless...

i love listening to these talks after nearly 50 years on this planet im so glad i found these teachings

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Very nice

Sadhu sadhu sadhu Venerable Ajahn Sucitto 🙌

It is not just guided meditation, it is World champion! Connecting both worlds

"Does anyone else experience this (dukkha)? Sure they do, otherwise there wouldn't be a name for it, would it?" Brilliant!

What an insightful talk. Sadhu

Attainment of sotapana and free from being born in 4 woeful existence. How one experience it? Entering magga phalla(disconnections of samsara existence) and emerge from magga phalla. The moment when it occure: My personnel experience while in vipasanna sitting meditation this occur and I will share to those who may find interesting. Vipasanna meditation on the moment of magga phalla and then return to samsara existence again on how it occur during that moment. From Samsara to magga phalla to samsara. 16 Vipasanna nanas or 16 mindfullness knowledge aroused while contemplating the breath explaination made simple. Nibanna is like walking up 16 stairs step to reach the top floor. One will start from the first stairs. Lifting the right foot stepping on the first stairs letting go of the left foot from the ground to let it step on the second staircase. Upon the second foot secure stepping on the second staircase one has to LET GO of the first staircase to use the right foot to step on the 3rd staircase until one reach the 16th stairs. Similar like from first samadhi to second samadhi to third samadhi to upeka. Similarly the practice of vipasanna apply the same way as like walking up the stairs till step 16th(16 vipasanna nanas) Upon reaching the top floor one can now take good rest in his room. One will have to return to the ground floor, the first step to begin now will be the last stair which is the 16th stairs. The way to decent is from the 16 to 15 to 14 stairs and so on. Similarly when one attaiment of magga(fruition) it is like one already on the highest step. After magga(path simile of the 16th stairs) it will reach phala(fruition simile as reaching the top floor) one is an enlighten being. Usual occurance after magga phalla, one will have to return to presant samsara conditions and that means like walking down the stair case start from the 16 steps to lower stairs. Similarly one who practice vipasanna and reach the highest path will need to return from the path back to this samsara existence. In this case he has to return from the magga phalla to continue to live in samsara until his balance karma energy are exhausted. So to say, one can realize very clearly these steps to magga phalla where the mind shuts down and he know when he is stepping down (start from the 16th) to return to mundane existence is similar to the simile of the 16 staircase walking up and walking down again. So one can know in this way one is a sotopana after nirodha(Ceesation of conciousness or concious shuts down) reaching magga phalla(mind now completely shuts down while in vipasanna sitting meditation) and nibanna(magga phalla is not a state of mind. It is out of human conciousness nothing in relation to mind and body and the buddha explain it in this way that nibanna simply is unborn, deathless and uncondition) No sufferring exist in NIBANNA. CONCLUSION: The 16 stairs we refer to the 16 vipasanna nanas: And after attainment when the mind shuts down you enter into nibanna(you will not know as you are momentarily already cut off your existence from Samsara) Now you are in nibanna(as conciousness already vanished at magga you do not know as already no existence conciousness) When after nibanna, you return to reawaken in this dream of existence in samsara and in the state of vipasanna samadhi, and here at this moment you still do not know you have return from nibanna to samsara dreams of existence as you are dwelling in strong state of samadhi where your mind now is filled with whole body pleasurable vibrating sensations and you are fully adsorption into it. This whole body pleasure sensation will gradually subside and you will now be in lower samadhi where your mind is bright(still in the mind state of samadhi) mind is free and relaxing no problems with regards to keep focusing on the breath as now what so ever on breath to watch rising falling all seem automatic.(in samadhi or in jhanna absobtion filled with whole body pleasurable sensations) At this moment the mind is free bright and peaceful just like driving with(in samadhi) Then suddenly there is occurance of recollection when one start to remember. One begin to remember there was a break in his sitting vipasanna meditation where the mind are suddenly shuts down. Here is very important and the most difficult to explain because this is the moment of the last truth of the 4 noble truth one has reach and now realised its taste. My attempt to explain it will be like telling a story that ends with possibily nobody will understand it. But that is the real story of the moment of reaching magga and phalla. When the moment the mind enter path or magga is 14th vipasanna nana and phalla 15 vipasanna nana it shuts down. No more existing in samsara existence so no more mind and thinking are stop. No thinking thus there no more mind. After that occurance is over, one will return from the top stair to walk down again from my simplified explaination on how one will see at that moment. He saw before and after and he remember it now as in his mind everythings is very clear. He now realise he has reach enlightment or he has attain to magga phala and the mind is now peaceful, happy and bright. The happiness feeling of that attainment can last numerous days.And all dhamma now aroused in one who is Ariya. He is now a SOTOPANNA. May this sharing be the road map for everyone and as the ariya of the past phrase it in this way they say 'WORTH IT' Wish everyone will strive one digently. Vipasanna the sure way leading to nibanna. The BUDDHA say this is the only way and no other way. And he say 'AHEPASIKO' Come friends and experience it yourself and you will know like I have known. And the last advise of LORD BUDDHA..... APAMADE SAMPADETA meaning Behold, O monks, this is my last advice to you. All component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your own salvation." Apamadesampadeta. BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI.

Sadhu!

Bhantey wandana wandana wandana sadhu sadhu sadhu.

I love listening to your talks! Gratitude for your wisdom!

I’m

There is no monk like Ajahn Sucitto. Trained by Ajahn Sumedho who was trained by Ajahn Chah - what a profound blessing all three are. This Ajahn is so precious, sweet, beautiful, true open heart, thank you.

Practiced this on the bus 🚌 :)

One of best meditation. Thank you so much Ajahn Amaro

_()_ _:_

This is one of the most mindblowing dhamma talks I've ever listened to. I usually take notes on dhamma talks and on this one I ended up pretty much transcribing the whole dhamma talk. Sadhu!

Thanks for sharing

So many 'teachers ' out there, yet the Ajahns are the real deal. The human who became the Buddha was stressed and sought to discover why. Precious Dhamma that opens the heart and frees the mind 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It's truth than no one talks of the effects on the body and how mind worries for the body, then the defilements arrive, then Kilesas then attaches to body because body is agitated when sensations or Vedana appear then it's on for young and old. Attachment to a thought as form ... this Dhamma talk, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏻

Thank you very much. No need to carry a tribunal in my mind. Try to absorb in or relish what's pleasant. These messages resonate with me.
