Cultivating Wisdom Through Ardent Effort - Dhamma Talk by Ajahn Thanissaro

Ajahn begins with meditation instructions, guiding the audience to generate thoughts of universal goodwill (mettā), defining true happiness as internal and self-derived, followed by focused breath concentration. Ajahn then transitions into a critical examination of Buddhist practice, challenging the common misconception that mindfulness is merely passive observation. Instead, he asserts that genuine insight is developed through ardency, alertness, and mindfulness, with ardency being synonymous with Right Effort. True wisdom is acquired through active experimentation—testing different approaches, observing the results, and strategically adjusting the level of effort to find the "middle way." Ultimately, the practitioners must temporarily cultivate a skillful sense of self (as agent, consumer, and commentator) and employ ingenuity in practice to transcend suffering, using their present experience as a raft to reach liberation. --------------------------------------- Bandar Utama Buddhist Society Established in 2000 25 Years - Supporting, Nurturing & Growing in the Dhamma Uttama Bodhi Vihara, 3 Jalan BU 3/1, Bandar Utama, 47800 PJ Website: https://bubs.my Email: [email protected] Subscribe to Telegram for the latest updates: https://t.me/s/bubsoc "Building a Dhamma-Inspired Community"
