Ajahn Sucitto's Dharma Talks at Cittaviveka
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.

2025-04-19 Holistic Awareness and Right Livelihood 42:02
Mental consciousness experiences in terms of points and lines, holistic awareness is the mode the body uses for its maintenance, health and balance. This is what we cultivate in meditation, so that the heart attunes to it and is also well-maintained, healthy and liberated from stress. Right livelihood is a matter of sustaining this kind of awareness in terms of duties, collaboration and the welfare of others. These clear mental hindrances and restrictions and bring joy into our daily lives.

2025-04-05 Dhamma transmission is based on a mutual openness 38:05
A review of the Channa Sutta (S.22:90) in which Bhikkhu Channa receives Dhamma through being open and welcomed - despite his bad reputation. The teaching he receives from Ven. Ananda points to the openness beyond affirmation or denial of conditioned existence. This instructs us to handle our intentions, interpretations and perspectives carefully without fixation.

2025-03-25 Light on concentration – a skilful gathering of factors and fruits 55:37
Samadhi is generally translated as 'concentration' but it is based on one-pointedness of purpose, rather than on focusing on a point in the body. As a factor of the Path, concentration represents the gathering of uplifting qualities and the removal of hindrances that block wisdom.
