Hi from Egypt, Thank you so much Bhante for your efforts, I keep watching your talks, and now I'm watching the 10 fetters series, and this Dhamma Talk inspired me, Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu, thank you for being among us.
19:34 "When you're caught in formations, you've created a boundary. You limited yourself. The free mind is boundless, it's not restricted in any way, and it's luminous. This is the light as a metaphor for consciousness. In the Anguttara Nikaya, the citta is described as luminous. It illuminates all things. When we're caught in formations, it's like we're putting filters in front of the light. We're distorting it, or casting shadows on the wall, rather than being with the source."
Thanks you for your efforts, Ajahn. These talks are invaluable. I've noticed that you have mentioned in various talks about the Thai Forest practice of "centering in the Citta". Is this similar to Dzogchen or Advaita "direct-path" practices? It would be very nice if you could expand on what this practice really is, how it relates to more common practices, etc. Thank you!
Well spoken, truly insightful. Thank you.
Saddhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.🙏🙏
Sadhu sadhu sadhu ❤️❤️❤️
Aha, not taking a stand anywhere... thanks🙏
🙏🏼

Hi from Cambodia, Thank you so much for your Dharma sermon.

"Intention to think." That helps me out greatly, Bhante. As usual, thank you for the talk. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu! May all be well and happy. 🙏
such a great segment, which i will be revisiting many times.
