Ajahn Sucitto

|
| What we call the real world is actually concocted, arising from unskillful response to contact. The energy can be frantic, cruel, excluding. But it’s possible to give rise to a different reality, by knowing what to give attention to. Paying attention to skillful dhammas can uplift and sustain the heart so it can come out of its struggles and sorrows. |
