The Path To Victory | Online Retreat Oct 2023
by Ajahn Anan
Lord Buddha answered the question of the wandering ascetic Subhadda on the practice as follows: “So long as the disciples of the Noble One practice correctly according to the Noble Eightfold Path, the world will not be void of Arahants.” We have been in the company of the five hindrances for a long time; these are friends our hearts hold dear. Our minds need to seek out new friends of a better kind—namely, mental cultivation. Stay with mental cultivation a lot, practice a lot: polish and purify the mind so it becomes clean and bright. Simply knowing the sense of impressions as they arise, with neither delight nor disdain, is the way to Nibbāna. It is not some other way, other path. The more mindful we are, the closer we are to the Buddha. Keep on the path, of morality, concentration, and wisdom.
