I dedicate all the merits of my meditations to you and my family. Thank You! ❤️💜💖❤️🧡🤎💙💚❤️💗💝

Quite a deeply insightful talk. Experienced a good, profound sit afterwards unprompted. This talk just drew up a dedication and inspiration to sit and note and nothing else.

An extraordinary talk. I learned so much and need to listen again and again, to see, to hear, to contemplate, to be dhamma.

Very useful suggestions. Helpful as ever and much appreciated.

It's really wonderful of Ajahn Achalo to share all of these talks and meditations on his website (and Insight Timer). I feel I am learning something every time.

This particular one has some nice moments: e.g. talking about the "Eye of the Storm"; discussing "Dharma" (i.e. phenomena); and a humorous story of a man who was angry, to whom Ajahn Annan said "good", and then told him to go back to his village and be angry all day - to which, of course, he discovered he couldn't 😁

I always find your talks and guided meditations perfect for my practice. Thank you. Much Metta and Peace to you.

Fantastic! Insight Timer needs more content on emptiness!

Very powerful messages will have to work on those thank you

Thank you Tan Ajahn for this beautiful talk! Much to contemplate!

Dooka as my teacher...thank you. Have many things to contemplate and cultivate...Thank you for sharing.

Much to learn...

Where there is suffering in your life that is where the practice is. Insightful.

Good talk on the teaching thank you

Great reference and insightful.

Right where the pain arises - on the mat, that's where it ceases. The cramping pain of being on the mat is your teacher; be mindful of the pain. But with Metta for yourself. Working with pain is such a difficult endeavor. Be gentle with yourself. Even when you decide you need to shift your posture, be mindful.

Can you be mindful of pain without aversion? Can you perceive pain separately from suffering? They are truly different entities.

There is much more savory teaching in this talk. Recommended.

I believe there is a lifetime, probably more, in these 17 minutes. So thankful.
