The Heart's Wisdom

Ayya Anandabodhi

As long as you’re operating from a sense of me and mine, wanting and not wanting, there's always going to be stress, or dukkha. It’s part of being a separate somebody, which is small, limited, and uncomfortable. In brahmavihāra practice, we’re giving space to that which is not personal—yet arises within our own being and transforms our being. Creating a more spacious awareness is an essential part of the practice. We’re opening to a greater truth, a greater reality, a greater resonance than the little “me and mine” story can really accommodate.

Untangling the Knot of Self

Ayya Anandabodhi

All conditions are transient. This is the truth, you know. And yet we get stuck trying to make things solid, or feeling that we’re solid. And it can be just a feeling! It's really important to learn how to know the transience of all things, especially to be with the arising of something difficult. Feel it, maybe even hear the thoughts around it, and then stay with it. Stay with it and watch it change. It will change—everything changes—it passes away, and then it’s gone.

Recollection of the Buddha's Wisdom and Love

Ayya Anandabodhi

The Buddha had experienced the greatest pleasures in worldly life: beautiful, comfortable, delightful experiences through the five senses. And he had experienced the most profound, refined pleasures through the mind in meditation practice. He said that when he found a path between these two extremes it was like walking through a dense forest and finding an ancient path that had been forgotten. Following that path led to an overgrown city, where there had once been gardens, pools, and mansions—places of peace and joy now lost and forgotten. The Noble Eightfold Path is this forgotten path that leads to that place of freedom, awakening, peace, joy, and contentment.
