    Four stages of aircon | EN | Ajahn Nitho | Oxford 2025

    The spiritual training is like aircon for your mind. Our body can be uncomfortable in a hot and humid climate. But air conditioning can really help. So too can our hot and uncomfortable mind get real help from our spiritual development of ethics, meditation and wisdom. But when doing your meditation, please allow your mind to calm down by itself - you just create more mental discomfort by craving, wanting and fighting your mind.

    Continuation and Red Jackets | EN | Ajahn Nitho | Venabu 2025

    One day our body doesn't want to hang around any more because of old age, then what is the continuation? By looking back in time, we can see that there is continuation forward in time. How does this continuation happen? What can we do to secure the future? And how can we develop towards the highest?

    Mindfulness of death | EN | Venerable Canda | Venabu 2025*

    Focusing on the fact that our body is going to die, can arouse a sense of spiritual urgency, that again can help us developing wholesome states of mind. This practice is of great fruit and benefits, it helps to put life in perspective − what is important in life, what should we prioritise, what values should we have. We ask ourselves - how kind have we been, how much gratitude have we shown and how much wisdom have we developed? This contemplation gives us resilience in time of death, it helps us live our lives to the best, so we have no regrets. And surprisingly, in will also bring us into the present moment of our lives. If you only have a short time left to live − what would you have done?

    Hindrances | EN | Ajahn Nitho | Venabu 2025

    We can waist lots of time, doing the same things over and over again in meditation, if we don't sometimes pull back and look at what we are doing. Sometimes analysis is important, and for example using the framework of the five hindrances that stops our development. In this talk the focus is the hindrances of sensory desire, ill will, sloth and torpor, restlessness and remorse and doubt. So next time you feel stuck in meditation - have a look at these five hindrances.

    Loving kindness meditation | EN | Venerable Canda | Venabu 2025

    Loving kindness meditation or metta-meditation is a type of practice that fulfils the whole eight fold path. It is a type of unconditional love, committed to the wellbeing of everybody − it is radically inclusive. While breath meditation creates peace first, and then happiness later − loving kindness meditation creates happiness first and then peace later. It is a type of meditation which makes us sleep well and wake up happy, it protects us from others ill will, people will find us dear and we will find meditation easy. Loving kindness makes us more courageous, helps us being authentic because we have our inner worth and we can be more transparent about our faults. And this talk is about how to do it.

    The importance of happiness | EN | Ajahn Nitho | Venabu 2025*

    In the beginning of a retreat it is important to focus on deliberately creating happiness and beautiful states of mind, and this is exemplified in this talk by teachings of the Buddha and current teachers. When we are happy inside, we get to sit for a long time, and the longer we meditate, the more stillness and clarity is created for our development of wisdom. In between the meditation, staying in the present moment is important. In the present we are free from so much of our fault finding mind, which tend to dig into the negative parts of our past and fantasying about the future through the lenses of negativity creating anxiety and fear. In the present moment we are relatively free for a while.

    The gradual training | EN | Venerable Canda | Venabu 2025

    If meditation is your only method, then the result can be limited and meditation becomes difficult. Developing our mind is an integrated whole, focusing both on virtue, meditation and wisdom. It is the calm of meditation that can abandon craving. And when insights are developed, we understand and we can abandon delusion − we can see the truth.  One way of looking at the training is called the gradual training, which is a gradual refinement of wholesome happiness and freedom. It starts with the arising of an enlightened being which can teach right view, then we adjust our lives with right intentions and simplicity, we develop virtue conduct, we restrain our senses and develop contentment and mindfulness. And then, when the foundation is strong, then we can do our meditation, get into deep meditation and develop wisdom about our own nature.

    The path to freedom | EN | Bhante Sujato*

    How does the mind work? Often we don't understand, and we create problems for ourselves and others. But it IS possible to develop wisdom and to be free! In Buddhism it is done by developing samatha and vipassana. Samatha is the emotional approach, having a genuine emotional engagement or emotional wholeness. The benefit is obvious: You feel good, it is nice to be happy, so you keep meditating, maybe even for the rest of your life. This leads to a life of reflection and growth, taking responsibility of yourselves. It also create a place of safety, you have found this place where you can be peaceful, happy and loving and caring, stability and clarity. Vipassana is seeing clearly, for example by reflecting on your meditation, cause and effect, investigation of three characteristics in the six senses or the five aggregates - either through direct experience or inference. This leads to stages of awakening, wisdom and freedom. This is why we are teaching, we believe that anybody can realize wisdom, and engage with the teachings in a sincere way. Step by step, we move from darkness to light, ignorance to knowledge, from suffering to freedom.
