The Goal of the Path

dimanche 19 octobre 2025 • Durée 30:21

In this illuminating talk, Venerable Ajahn Punnadhammo explores what is commonly called “enlightenment” — clarifying Pāli terms and describing the inner sequence from disenchantment (nibbidā) through waning passion (rāga) to final cessation. He explains how awakening is both gradual and sudden, the role of paṭisaññā (clear seeing), and the practical steps: right effort, mindfulness, investigation—that lead to true freedom. A grounded, accessible reflection on the goal of the path and how to cultivate clear, unconditioned insight.

The Three Charateristics

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Durée 24:43

In this clear and reflective talk, Venerable Ajahn Punnadhammo explores the Three Characteristics of all conditioned phenomena - dukkha (unsatisfactoriness), anicca (impermanence), and anattā (not-self) not as abstract philosophy, but as living truths that reshape how we experience life. He explains how understanding dukkha frees us from chasing impossible perfection, how seeing impermanence allows us to enjoy beauty without clinging or fear of loss, and how glimpsing not-self brings a profound lightness, fearlessness, and inner freedom. Through vivid everyday examples from cherry blossoms to melting ice sculptures - he shows how accepting change and emptiness leads not to pessimism, but to resilience, joy, and wisdom. A grounded guide to Right View and the direct path toward the ending of suffering.

Suffering is Optional

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Durée 30:57

In this practical and down-to-earth talk, Venerable Ajahn Punnadhammo returns to the heart of the Buddha’s message: suffering and the end of suffering. He explains how much of our pain comes not from the world but from our own untrained mind - anger, sadness, fear, anxiety, regret and how these “negative emotions” are ultimately optional when seen clearly. Drawing on Abhidhamma and Thai Forest insights, he shows how to relate to these states with mindfulness, “not me, not mine,” and responsibility rather than blame, learning to face fear, let go of remorse, and stop “licking old wounds.” He contrasts unwholesome mental pain with wholesome joy, the happiness of collected mind and the serenity of equanimity, and points to the citta - the knowing mind - as our “true home,” like a warm cabin in a blizzard while storms of emotion pass outside. A concise, compassionate guide to working skillfully with emotions so that wisdom, kindness, and deep inner peace can grow.

See the World as Empty

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Durée 32:04

In this deep and lucid Dhamma talk, Venerable Ajahn Punnadhammo unfolds the Buddha’s most distinctive and radical teaching: emptiness and not-self (anattā). Starting from the Buddha’s instruction to the brahmin Mogarāja “Be ever mindful, see the world as empty, and abandon thoughts of self” - Ajahn explains how our instinctive belief in a solid ‘me’ and a solid ‘world’ is the root ignorance that binds us to birth and death. He clarifies mindfulness (sati) as “remembering to be present,” explores the ancient notion of ātman versus the Buddha’s analysis of the five aggregates, and shows how, when we look closely, no stable, independent essence can be found - only changing processes. He then presents two complementary approaches to not-self: examining experience down to momentary “point-instants” of dhammas, and widening the lens to see the relational, dependently arisen nature of all things (“nothing exists from its own side”). Along the way, he explains the difference between personality view (sakkāya-diṭṭhi) and the subtler self-perception (māna), and offers practical guidance like reframing “I am angry” to “anger has arisen.” The talk culminates in a powerful reflection on how both mind and its objects are empty, why self is just a convenient fiction, and how seeing this clearly opens the door to fearlessness, peace, and true liberation.

The Nature of the Mind

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Durée 40:09

In this profound and wide-ranging reflection, Venerable Ajahn Punnadhammo explores the true nature of mind and the meaning of citta - not as a “thing,” but as the living process of knowing itself. Drawing from Abhidhamma analysis, the suttas, and the Thai Forest Tradition, he clarifies the distinction between citta, viññāṇa, and the mental factors (cetasika), while addressing the long-standing mind–body question from both Buddhist and modern philosophical perspectives. Through vivid analogies from computers and radio receivers to ancient cosmology and evolutionary theory. He invites us to move beyond materialist assumptions and directly recognize awareness as the fundamental ground of experience. A deeply contemplative talk on consciousness, perception, and the liberating potential of resting in pure knowing.
