Contemplating Dukkha (Suffering) without Anxiety or Feeling Down | Ajahn Dhammasiha

Whenever our insight meditation makes us feeling down or anxious, we:Mindfully recognize that we have not yet reached the intended result of the meditationInstead, the intended result is dispassion, letting go, and ultimately the experinece of complete release from all DukkhaWe remind ourselves that there exists this state of complete freedom from old age, sickness and death, Nibbāna, and that it can be realizedWe change to a more uplifting meditation object, like Loving Kindness, Breath Meditation or Buddhānussati, to build up a stronger basis of SamādhiBased on that samādhi and resulting rapture, happiness, and clarity of mindfulness, we return to our contemplation of Dukkha joyfully and without fearwww.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
