Online retreat with Ajahn Sucitto hosted by Sunyata Buddhist Centre sunyatacentre.org This is the opening reflection from the retreat focusing on living with awareness in a chaotic world. Saturday 18th July 2020
Thank you, Ajahn 🙏 What I want to know please, from you who do know, is what is the nature of chitta? You have said it is creative and imaginal. I feel that the more I know of it, the more I know of it: almost like, if you can tell me what it is like, who have got there, I will know what to look for, when I am seeing it. We understand so much of the problems, anxiety, self-will, anger because we have experience of them. If I have experienced as yet only a little of the chitta, I remain unfamiliar. I realise I have to find it myself, but knowing the nature of it, like stories of foreign lands from one who has travelled, will help illuminate me. You have already told me more about it, the heart, than anyone before. I know it has few words, a voice, is creative and likes images. Thank you, I get so much from your teachings 🙏
Ajahn Sucitto, thank you for taking it all back to the heart. My (the) mind just shifted from contraction to expansion. I think I can now cope with the day ahead. Sadhu... Sadhu... Sadhu.
you all prolly dont care but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Thatcher Walker thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
He should try walking the talk. He's a hypocrite a rigid, inflexible sod and talking is an easy career. Couldn't survive with his character and looks in the real world.
It sounds like you were looking for a father figure? The Monastics are not there to parent anyone, the Buddha also pushed people away who were trying to be dependent.
