2008-07-21 The Five Hindrances 42:22
Ajahn Sucitto
Use samatha – that which dispels passion – and vipassana – that which dispels ignorance – as practices that help overcome the hindrances. These themes of calming and inquiry are more than just techniques, they are a way to live all of life.

2008-07-20 Come Into The Body 44:34
Ajahn Sucitto
When the cascade of thoughts and feelings come rushing in, rather than, ‘What am I going to do about it?’ ask, ‘Where am I right now?’ It doesn’t seem relevant, but it brings us out of the scenario and into the body. Steadied in the flow of feeling, we can then learn the particular skill of being with rather than being in them.

2008-07-17 Embracing Suffering 50:05
Ajahn Sucitto
(Given on Asalha Puja, commemorating the occasion when the Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths.) A lot of our practice is about squaring up to the first noble truth of suffering rather than wriggling away from it. Mindfulness of body provides a channel to open up to suffering, where it can be experienced in terms of energies rather than thoughts and emotions.
