Dhamma Talk - The Path to Happiness through Sila and Samadhi | Ajahn Dtun | 23 Apr 2019

In this Dhamma talk, Ajahn Dtun begins with an explanation of how to meditate. Ajahn Dtun then explains how delusion makes us believe our thoughts and emotions are our own mind, as well as make us seek external happiness in material things & sensory contact that do not last. If we have wrong view, we experience suffering. If we have right view, we experience happiness. By keeping our moral precepts and by practicing concentration, we can develop our mind and use mindfulness and wisdom to cleanse the mind, as well as put up a fight against mental defilements.

Dhamma Talk - Morality, Mindfulness and Wisdom on the Path | Ajahn Dtun | 20 Apr 2019

In this Dhamma Talk, Ajahn Dtun talks about different kinds of happiness in this world. By seeing the dangers of mental defilements, which taint the mind and result in unwholesome action and speech, we will see the benefits of keeping our moral precepts. When we achieve a degree of morality, the mind becomes more peaceful. Ajahn then explains that the way to strengthen the mind is through practicing concentration. Training thus will cause mindfulness and wisdom to arise, which will help watch over the mental defilements and not allow greed, anger and delusion to arise in the mind. This dhamma talk also has a Q&A session at the end.
