Look After Your Mind Well | 4 Sep 2024
by Ajahn Anan
Ajahn Anan discusses the importance of mindfulness and wisdom to overcome suffering, which may arise from a lack of these qualities. He suggests cultivating virtue, collectedness, and wisdom to find inner peace. A key practice is to see the mind and its experiences as separate, like "oil and water," and to continuously question the nature of thoughts and experiences to understand their impermanent, non-self nature. Ajahn Anan outlines practices like recollection and meditation to keep the mind from wandering, and investigation and reflection on the body to develop wisdom. He concludes that when wisdom sees the impermanent nature of all phenomena, suffering ceases and the mind finds refuge in mindfulness and wisdom.
