COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

YouTube - "A sense of presence" - Ajahn Sucitto: "

"Cultivation of great heart, there is depth and also breadth. Depth you might say is finding a sense of presence, anchoring, that's not through tension or holding on to a view or idea or a position. It's just feeling the presence, your own steadiness, your own wholeness, your own- that which looks after you...

Your own sense of sampajāna, awareness, that knows you're here, that which receives all these impressions that happens to you, that which comes through every day, no matter what. We ground ourselves in that. This is the ground, or the foundation. Without this everything goes out of balance.

We breathe into that, breathe out into that, take refuge in that.

Simplicity. Real simplicity..."


~Ajahn Sucitto
