2021.12.15 | Attachment to our bodies and minds is a heavy burden. As soon as one attaches, the experience of heaviness arises right there.

2021.12.05 | If we choose to follow the way of the world—delighting in its many sensual attractions—in the end we die and we’re left with nothing at all. But if we seek out the way of Dhamma, what we have to gain is peace, happiness and freedom from suffering.

2021.04.20 | The Buddha has pointed the way already. What’s left is for us to walk it. Bringing up mindfulness, looking through the body, being aware of everything that arises in the mind—these are what will bring us to purity and freedom.

2021.04.15 | In this talk, Ajahn Anan reflects upon the importance of mindfulness, humility, clarity and calm in order to see things for how they actually are. As he explains, our minds are blind and we’ve accepted what we have been taught since we were children without any questions.

2021.04.11 | Ajahn Anan discusses different types of emptiness and how to realize them—natural emptiness, emptiness from samadhi, and emptiness from wisdom.

2021.04.07 | We practice sila, samadhi, and panna, the path of virtue, collectedness, and wisdom—this cuts off clinging to views and conceit, thinking one is better, equal, or lesser.

2021.04.05 | If we live our lives without much awareness or attention, our minds will be unsettled and thinking without end.

They understand that there is knowledge, but no one who knows. To join Ajahn Anan and the Wat Marp Jan Co...
