To attempt to open to the “way it is”. To abide in open awareness, rather than be driven by the floods of greed hatred and delusion.

The theme of this meditation session, is sustaining the quality of awareness. This awareness is of the nature of non-grasping, watchful and available. The underlying theme, is to be with “it is like this”. Welcoming whatever arises without aversion or clinging. Paying attention to the gap between thoughts. Listening to the silence. Practising in this way gives rise to Samma-Samadhi. Or “right” concentration. Which leads to “Right” Wisdom.

Luang Por Focuses of the 3 kinds of desire. Sense desire, the desire to become, and the desire to avoid becoming. Desire is a natural phenomenon, and is necessary. But when it becomes entangled with craving it becomes a cause for suffering. By allowing whatever is in consciousness to arise and be seen. One becomes free from craving through insight. Free from forming narratives and stories. Seeing phenomenon just as they are. This is the aim of the “Arahant” project.
