Sense Restraint | Self Control | Indriya Samvara | AN Eights #9 'Nanda Sutta'| Ajahn Dhammasiha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Buddha's half-brother Venerable Nanda was the foremost bhikkhu disciple in terms of sense restraint. He was attractive, handsome, strong and had a natural inclination to intense sensual desire, which caused him major struggles in the beginning of his monk's life. He overcame his difficulties through: Sense Restraint (Indriya Saṃvara) Knowing the right amount when eating (Bhojanasmiṃ Mattaññutā) Dedication to Wakefulness (Jāgariyaṃ Anuyutta) Mindfulness and Clear Comprehension (Sati Sampajaññ
Don't Neglect Walking Meditation! | Cankama Bhavana | Dhamma Talk | Jongrom | Ajahn Dhammasiha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Walking meditation is in no way inferior to sitting meditation. In fact, for many of us in modern society it can be a more suitable posture than sitting crosslegged (or even full lotus). The way we grow up, always sitting on chairs, we're often not flexible enough for sitting crosslegged. Therefore, walking can help us to continue our meditation for a much longer time. It's also excellent for excercise, and to keep us fit and healthy. Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the many benefits of walking med

Retraining the Faultfinding Mind | Focus on Joyful Events to Counter Depression | Ajahn Dhammasiha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ajahn Dhammasiha explains how the faultfinding mind can deprive us of happiness, and even drive us into depression. If we're stuck in the negative feedback loop of complaining and faultfinding, we have to gradually but consistently reeducate our mind to pay attention to good and uplifting events. What we pay attention to ('yoniso manasikāra') is so important. We have a choice where to direct our attention. However much evil is happening in the world, there's still so much goodness as well.
