Santussako: I'm Back

http://santussako.blogspot.com/2007/06/im-back.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. Been away for quite a while and haven't been updating this blog for a long while. =) I wrote some notes in my recent retreat in Api-Api, Pontian, recording the difficulties I faced in the course of my practice, insights that come along, and my states of mind at that point in time.

Santussako: DLMC (Dhamma Light Meditation Centre) - Thu 19 Apr 2007

http://santussako.blogspot.com/2007/06/dlmc-dhamma-light-meditation-centre-thu.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. DLMC (Dhamma Light Meditation Centre) - Thu 19 Apr 2007. One step at a time, one breath at a time. This is really helpful. Don't think too far into the future. This is wandering thought, unskillful use of the future. When the mind started to move away from the breath, will the mind to look at the breath. That is all it takes. Move on to the nimitta only when the mind is strongly and stably focused on the breath. Practice loving kindness everyday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Santussako: I Win

http://santussako.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-win.html

Monday, January 24, 2011. It has been ages since I last wrote. I usually write during some spare time when I'm in retreats. In my chat with Romo C, he said I could have written a book. Indeed! My days in Brahma Vihari were recorded in my diary and it's almost like a book! It's seeing things from different angle, different setting. Yet, the taste of Dhamma stands out even more. And in whatever situation we are in, as long as we hold on to the Dhamma, we will always win. May this find you well.

Santussako: DLMC - Wed 16 May 2007

http://santussako.blogspot.com/2007/06/dlmc-wed-16-may-2007.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. DLMC - Wed 16 May 2007. Keeping some food to eat after meal: I shall never do this again, as it gives way for greed to arise. The taste of contenment is higher and more refined than that of any physical food. Moreover, greed is very coarse. The moment greed runs through my mind, I feel that I lose the gentleness and softness of the mind. Strive on with mindfulness: This is the Buddha's last words. I shall keep this in mind - keep the breath in mind and be mindful at all times.

http://santussako.blogspot.com/2007/06/dlmc-mon-23-apr-2007.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. DLMC - Mon 23 Apr 2007. Did 15 hour absorption and was very happy I did it. Start to get the balance. Need to still the wandering thoughts, then my work is done. Shall be mindful of my speech. Talk only when necessary. Avoid idle chatter. Keep noble silence as much as possible. Yesterday I was out of sort. I seemed a little disconnected from the world around me. Can't feel much joy and the meditation flatted. Attacked by Mara? Maechee PJ talked to me about her problem yesterday&#46...

Santussako: DLMC - Mon 7 May 07

http://santussako.blogspot.com/2007/06/dlmc-mon-7-may-07.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. DLMC - Mon 7 May 07. Sat 35 hour today. Didn't take afternoon nap but I'm not the least bit tired. Meditation went well. Am very impressed (or attached? I want to, and need to, refine my behavior: don't laugh too loudly, walk slowly and gently, don't eat while standing, be mindful all the time. Dealing with greed for food. My mind gave me the answer last night - contemplate on the drawbacks of the food, the repulsiveness of food. I shall try to work on it. View my complete profile.

Santussako: DLMC - Tue 24 Apr 2007

http://santussako.blogspot.com/2007/06/dlmc-tue-24-apr-2007.html

Monday, June 11, 2007. DLMC - Tue 24 Apr 2007. Be restraint in senses. If you really exercise restraint over the senses - if you notice when the mind is getting worked up in an unskillful direction and you counter it immediately - that's developing mindfulness and alerness right there. So what I've been doing count as being mindful. No wonder my mind settles down easily. =). Seems like my reading speed depends on the level of alertness in the mind.
