dnbf enigmaWorking with the senses | EN | Venerable CandaIn this talk, Venerable Canda talks about guarding the sense doors, and the hindrances that arise in relation to the sensory world, with the goal to create clarity of mind. She talks about the sense bases, and how contact creates feelings in body and mind − pleasant or not − resulting in craving or ill will. Seeing that this process is conditioned, not substantial, reduces the reactivity and the creation of suffering. She gives examples, and refer to stories both from contemporary teachers and the original teachings of the Buddha.

dnbf guideVisualisations for ease of focus | EN | Ajahn NithoOften the meditation object, for example the breath, is too sutle to focus on, maybe because your life is bussy with work, responsibilities and being social. And a trick you can use then, is to make the meditation object bigger and more entertaining, by adding visualisations. In this guided meditation you are asked to create an imaginary beautiful peaceful place, with a little bit of repetetive movements − movements which under meditation will go in parallel to your breathing.
