Daily Life Jhāna

People often have the idea that one practices ‘concentration’ to achieve ‘special meditative states of mind’ called jhāna, but Ajahn Sucitto points out that in fact jhāna is a daily life practice of absorbing into the wholesomeness of nature that leads to the embodiment of samādhi – a unified state of the heart.

Enjoyable talk that helped me better understand the actions and conditions that are necessary for establishing a peaceful mind.

Amazing!

This is a good dharma talk. Helpful to the idea of being. Thank you.

Excellent dhamma talk about allowing ourselves to absorb (jhana) in daily life and meditation, about cottage and energy.

This talk was enormously helpful to me right now. I know I’ll listen to it again.

Great talk! How to embody Jhana daily. I like the emphasis on practice being also about what we “don’t do.” Stripping away the things that are unproductive, and being
absorbed, and with, the things that are.

Thank you for your words of wisdom 💜🙏

Ajahn Sucitto always is clear, humble in his manner, and just makes sense about how to live a good life!!

So clear. This talk cuts through the clutter of practices. Bowing in gratitude.

So very well explained, the bare essentials and the true sense of meditation. So grateful. Thank you 🙏

Very helpful. Thank you very much.

Very interesting but should definitely be labeled as a talk.

Thank you for your insight and teachings. This has been very helpful.

A most gorgeous reminder to rest relax and let go that which hinders absorption - thank you

Succinct, clear, from the Buddha - straightened out my understanding of concentration & and made the way clear. 10 yrs. of effort, not wasted, but not so skillful either. May the next 1 0 follow his way leading to jhana.

Amazing—cutting through all the misconceptions to simple practice.

This is a Dhamma talk and not a guided meditation, but the talk is wonderful and full of insight!
