Ajahn Martin Piyadhammo
Dhamma Talks in 2009
The need for respect, gratitude and generosity
We are the culprit – Be responsible!
What is Self, what is the citta?
Training calm, developing samadhi
Whatever we do comes back to us
Fun is: heating up in the fire, then cooling down
Criticizing others to feel good is just not the way!
Using others and being used by others
Basic conduct in a monastery
Wrong attitude – coping with difficulties
The right way to listen to Dhamma
The hair in the soup: dissatisfaction
Dissatisfaction that comes along with the senses
Our practice like training the kings war-elephant
If we can't see the visible thorns in daily life, how can we remove the invisible on the path of our practice?
Believing in our Lord and Master: Avijja
If the world would run just our way, there would be no dukkha
We just like to play, irresponsible, like computer games
Intention creates kamma and kamma goes to the next life
Disbelieving the kilesas: Anatta
Making ourselves attractive to attract the other sex
What to do to destroy the kilesas
The World of experience; the problem of conceit
Experience leads to wisdom: Investigation
The reason for doing ascetic practices
Sensual – Sexual desire; kamma
Programming our “biological” robot
If we just could understand the Truth of dukkha!
The right way of practicing samadhi
Fighting for inner freedom – fighting against Self!
What is Self? The 5 khandhas are not Self
Developing wisdom: even consciousness ceases
Sati: Objective quality of knowing
Sati – awareness – interest
The need for respect, gratitude and generosity
We are the culprit – Be responsible!
