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.

2008-10-19 Kathina Talk 2008-Great Heart 43:19
Renunciation sounds painful, but it’s actually a very useful thing to be able to do. Rather than seeking the beautiful and the good where it can’t be found, we consider what is actually needed. We find the heart is enriched through acts of generosity and sharing, and through these, we get what we need.

Beneath the currents of underlying thoughts lie the mind states. Thoughts will never take us to the end, to release. Relate instead with the mind states, directly handling them with sensitivity, understanding, receptivity.

2008-09-20 The Drunken Buddha 43:24
As we cultivate and come to know citta more, we may find it to be like a drunken Buddha – partly still caught up in unskillful actions, partly with the clear potential for liberation. Using hiri (self respect) ottappa (concern for others) as a frame of reference, citta begins to discern skillful from unskillful. Continue to practice in accordance with Dhamma, and the Path will clear the defilements.

2008-08-16 Kamma Junkies And Dhamma Heroes 53:56
A certain quality of heroism is called for in this practice. Not just as an act of bravado, but where one comes into their full potential for awakening; and not in a way of becoming anything – it’s overcoming any wish to become anything. Through overcoming this powerful drive, we shake the addiction of becoming.

2008-08-12 G.M - Centering On Goodness 48:57
One of our most important resources in mediation is basic well-being. We get distracted away from it. Mindfulness of body supports us to stay in touch with this sense of goodness.
