Dhamma Talk - Buddha's Thinking Management Plan | Ajahn Nissarano | 29 Dec 2019

In this talk, Ajahn Nissarano talks about the Buddha's thinking management plan. Ajahn explains how thinking can play a role in increasing or decreasing wholesome states of our mind. Thinking is an approximation of reality. Ajahn Nissarano also talks about the two kinds of thought according to the Buddha, i.e. sensual, malicious and cruel thoughts to one class, and renunciation , goodwill and harmlessness to another class. By using wise attention to cultivate the wholesome states of mind, we will avoid/let go of negative states of mind. By accepting or letting thinking be, rather than getting caught up in it or rejecting it, thinking can tend to lose its energy and reduce by itself. Ajahn Nissarano then tells Ajahn Brahm's story about thinking. Finally, there is a quick Q n A session.

Guided Meditation - Wisdom | Ajahn Nissarano | 3 Feb 2020

The theme of this guided meditation is wisdom. Ajahn Nissarano covers the four noble truths - suffering/unsatisfactoriness, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Ajahn gives a guided meditation to make peace with whatever we experience in the meditation, whether it be in the body or the mind. To accept whatever we are experiencing.

We highly recommend listening to the Dhamma talk. However, if you wish to skip to the guided meditation section, it should begin around 41:40.
