During his visit to Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage, Brisbane, Australia, Ajahn Karuniko joined our silent afternoon meditation. After the walking meditation, he opened up for a Q&A session, as it was the last opportunity to receive any Dhamma from him, before his departure next day. The first question is about the 5 Spiritual Faculties, and how they relate to developing the Noble 8-Fold Path. Ajahn Karuniko was born in Greater Manchester, UK in 1953. After graduating in Electronic Engineering in 1975 he worked for several years before coming to take up residence as a novice at Cittaviveka in 1982. He became a bhikkhu in 1984 at Cittaviveka with Ajahn Sumedho as his preceptor. He has also spent 3 years with Luang Por Anan at Wat Marp Jan in Tailand. From 2014 until 2019 Ajahn Karuniko served as the abbot of Cittaviveka. Ajahn Moneyyo lived for several years with Ajahn Karuniko at Cittaviveka. He is looking forward to welcoming an old friend, who has been his 'Reciting Teacher' ('Kammavācariya') during his ordination as a monk, and who remained a senior 'Kalyāṇa Mitta' (Dhamma Friend) to him in his junior years as a bhikkhu. Cittaviveka is the first monastery of the tradition of Ajahn Chah outside of Thailand. Ajahn Chah has personally visited the property, and provided guidance and encouragement to Ajahn Sumedho during the very difficult foundation and renovation period.

There are different kinds of happiness, and we have to learn to mindfully distinguish them. Some kinds of joy we do not indulge in, like partying with alcohol & drugs; or hurting others as revenge for what they did to us.Other kinds of happiness we deliberately develop, like helping other beings, sharing, generosity, keeping ethical standards, calm & peace, and in particular the blissful joy we can experience in meditation.Dhammagiri WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube ChannelPics#happiness #joy #rapture #samadhi #jhana #kindness

As followers of the Buddha, are we devoted to the persuit of pleasure? Amazingly, and perhaps even counterintuitively, the answer is actually 'Yes"! It's not every kind of pleasure, though: we're not persuing happiness based on sensual indulgence, or anything causing harm to other beings. We only persue wholesome, spiritual pleasure, like the happiness one gets from practising generosity and helping other beings; or the blameless happiness and freedom from remorse one gains from keeping precepts; or the unperturbed happiness one gains from restraining the doors of the senses; and in particular the rapture and bliss one experiences in samādhi.

Ajahn Dhammasiha reads out and discusses Anguttara Nikāya / Numerical Discourses of the Buddha, Book of Fours, No 21.Shortly after his supreme awakening, the Buddha reflects that without anything to look up to and respect and revere, one dwells in suffering. However, not finding any being in the whole universe that would exceed him in virtue, or samādhi, or wisdom, or release, the Buddha decides to respect, honour and esteem the Saddhamma that he discouvered. Brahma Sahampati appears to confirm to the Buddha that actually all the Buddhas of the past did exactly the same thing, revering the Saddhamma, and all the Buddhas arising in the future will do likewise. He then recites 3 verses expressing that reality, which the Buddha approves of. We will install 4 bronze plaques on the four sides of our Saddhamma Stupa with the verses of Brahma Sahampati, extolling the Saddhamma and the importance of respecting and remembering it:Ye ca atītā Sambuddhā Ye ca Buddhā anāgatā Yo c'etarahi SambuddhoBahūnaṃ sokanāsanoAll Buddhas of the distant past, And all the Buddhas yet to come, The Buddha of our present time, Who freed so many from all grief;Sabbe saddhammagaruno Vihaṃsu viharanti caTathāpi viharissantiEsā buddhāna dhammatā.They live, will live, have always livedRevering the authentic truth,The Dhamma that they realized -This is the nature of Enlightened Ones.Tasmā hi attakāmena MahattamabhikaṅkhatāSaddhammo garukātabboSaraṃ Buddhāna sāsanan'tiAnd thus, for your own happiness, For your own lasting benefit, Revere the truthful Dhamma here, Remember what the Buddha taught!Dhammagiri WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube ChannelPics#respect #saddhamma #brahma #buddha #buddhastory #buddhistwisdom

When we contemplate the 4 elements of earth, water, fire and wind, we need conviction that there exists an escape beyond these elements. Without that confidence, a complete materialist would feel very despondent when reflecting on the unreliable, unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of the elements.However, if we have faith in the Buddha's teaching that one actually can go beyond, then through contemplation & insight into the elements, consciousness can completely let go and detach from them, and experience the liberated state beyond the material world, where no flood or cyclone or earthquake or fire could ever reach.

With Cyclone Alfred and heavy flooding just having passed over Brisbane, Ajahn Dhammasiha offers reflections on the 4 elements (Cātu Mahābhūta/Dhātu).As the cyclone showed, these 4 material elements of earth, water, fire and wind are unreliable, uncertain, unpredictable and lead to suffering. Fortunately, we can free our mind from attachment to the 4 elements through contemplation and insight, to realize the state that is beyond reach of cyclones, floods or any form of suffering: Freedom, Release, Nibbāna.Dhammagiri WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube ChannelPics#dhamma #buddhism #dhammatalk #4elements #dhatu
