Observing, Knowing, Cultivating Awareness | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Buddhist Dhamma Talk

Our culture encourages activity, going out and doing something. We're constantly busy managing our lives, trying to control our environment, trying to influence the behaviour of other persons.
In this Dhamma talk, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to give more attention to the quiet, passive quality of observing. Not interfering at all, but to mindfully know, to be aware of whatever is happening. In particular, to be aware of whatever is happening inside our mind.
And we specifically look at those aspects of conditioned reality the Buddha directed us towards:
- Anicca = Impermanent/unreliable/not sure
- Dukkha = Suffering, unsatisfactory, unable to provide lasting happiness
- Anatta = Not Self, not me, not mine
Once we see with wisdom in our own direct experience ('vipassana') that all conditioned phenomena ('sankhārā') exhibit these three characteristics, our heart will let go of sankhāras, and experience the Unconditioned - Release, Peace, Freedom, Nibbāna.
