Whenever we feel that we are definitely right, so much so that we refuse to open up to anything or anybody else, right there we are wrong. It becomes wrong view. When suffering arises, where does it arise from? The cause is wrong view, the fruit of that being suffering. If it was right view it wouldn't cause suffering.
Ajahn ChahDonโt be attached to visions or lights in meditation, donโt rise or fall with them. Whatโs so great about brightness? My flashlight has it. It canโt help us rid ourselves of our suffering.
Ajahn ChahAll religions are like different cars all moving in the same direction. People who don't see it have no light in their hearts.
Ajahn ChahPracticing meditation is just like breathing. While working we breathe, while sleeping we breathe, while sitting down we breathe... Why do we have time to breathe? Because we see the importance of the breath, we can always find time to breathe. In the same way, if we see the importance of meditation practice we will find the time to practice.
