-
When practiced at home, should I watch your
clip at the same time?
-
It's up to you. You will reach a point when
you have enough of my guidance.
-
You will want to practise on your own.
You don't want to listen anymore. Enough!
-
Before reaching that point, you're still hungry
of listening and reading.
-
It means you still want support and
motivation from teacher. If so, you need to listen.
-
At least, listening to my voice,
you would gain guided wisdom from me.
-
It helps you to understand but it won't last.
Dhamma is quite strange in this respect.
-
We think we understand but the knowledge can disappear,
not forget, disappear but you understand again.
-
Listening is a good reminder.
Each time will remind you of different thing.
-
I have lots of information to offer,
it's impossible for you to pick up everything!
-
Not like that. Listening again may help you to
pick up the bits you missed before.
-
You may think you focused well,
really concentrate.
-
But...why I never heard of this before, Ajahn!
I can't remember you said this!
-
This happens to everyone because we
cannot pick up everything in one session.
-
You can't digest everything either, so
listening again helps you digest better.
-
Of what you missed. So, you don't listen
to dhamma just once, neither does reading.
-
My book, Auad-u-ta-ri, you should read once
in every 2-3 years. Reading the 1st time,
-
you may be at the bottom of the hill,
3 years later, you've progressed to midway,
-
So, you will understand what
you couldn't 3 years before although
-
you've been reading the same book.
So, wait another 5 years, you have more understanding.
-
Because your spiritual journey is progressing,
the same as listening to my teaching videos.
-
Likewise, if you still want to listen to me
in class, it means this young tree needs nurture.
-
If the main root is not deep enough to find
water by itself, then you still need help.
-
Such help is the support of
guided wisdom from teacher.
-
You also need inspiration. Besides,
listening to my voice
-
is a matter of resonating vibration
of energy,
-
My voice generate frequency of energy which can adjust your frequency, which could help you reach inner peace,
-
the goal, Nirvana, easily. This is
why people like listening to chanting.
-
Buddho, Buddho...such vibration
could connect you with Buddha's frequency.
-
That's why listening to teaching video
has several impacts.
-
But if you feel having enough of listening, you can stop
it means that you can rely on yourselve
-
you have gained your own intuitive wisdon
the result of your own practice.
-
You can be your own refuge.
-
So, you must observe your own feeling.
hungry for guidance or not.
-
sometime you do, sometime you don't.
-
Just observe and be sensitive of how you feel
no set rule.
-
This is just a general idea, understand?
