Ajahn Sucitto's Dharma Talks
Ajahn Sucitto
As a monk, I bring a strong commitment, along with the renunciate flavor, to the classic Buddhist teachings. I play with ideas, with humor and a current way of expressing the teachings, but I don't dilute them.

2014-08-30 05 Walking Meditation: Coming Out of Stuck States 38:53
Download Listen
In walking meditation, mental patterns are bound to well up. If you don’t go into decisive action around them, they will fade. Give attention instead to the fluidity of the body while walking. Let things work themselves out; it’s not up to us to claim or reject. Come back to the here of breathing and body; realizations occur in that process.

Download Listen
We fall for the tyranny of institutionalized systems and fixed structures because they promise stability and certainty. But there is no empathy in such tyranny. Embodied presence enables empathy. Our own bodies provide the stability we need to be with our mental stuff without reacting. Thus our capacity to be human increases.

Download Listen
Activation is followed by feeling and action (kamma). The general advice is to give attention to “how I’m feeling” rather than “what I’m going to do about it”. This is a relational approach: not to try to feel a certain kind of feeling, but just know how I’m feeling, how I’m being affected. Empathy is being with the feeling without being triggered, and reactive. This is the practice of kindness, compassion and equanimity – at the most long-term level.

2014-08-29 02 Standing Meditation: Springing Rhythmic Nature of the Body 15:07
Download Listen
Use standing posture to acknowledge the springing rhythmic nature of the body. When the body relaxes, the mind relaxes – the two synchronize. What the body does, the mind picks up.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? The Buddha’s Dhamma gives us a way to develop the inner strength and space to meet what arises in our lives. The weekend will offer ways to cultivate the ‘inner authority’ of the five indriya, and the capacity to bring forth good will. It will require commitment to a weekend schedule of sitting and standing in meditation, with extended periods of silence.
