Preparing the Mind to Listen to Dhamma | Buddhist Dhamma Talk by Ajahn Dhammasiha

Preparing the Mind to Listen to Dhamma | Buddhist Dhamma Talk by Ajahn Dhammasiha

With the visit of Bhante Ariyananda coming up, Ajahn Dhammasiha reminds us all:

When it comes to listening to Dhamma, it's not about quantity of input. It's about quality, and in particular about the quality of the mind of the listener.

Many of us have heard the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (First Discourse of Buddha) receited many times. But did we have the vision of Dhamma arising, did we attain stream entry like Ven. Aññā Kondañña did while listening to it only once?

All the listening and reading and studying will not lead to awakening if the mind is not ready.

We have to reduce the hindrances/defilements (nīvaraṇā), and increase the spiritual faculties (indriya), to boost our pāramī up to a level sufficient that we can realize the Dhamma we hear of contemplate.

Like a 3G phone will not be able to connec to 5G signals, we won't be able to comprehend the Dhamma on a deep level if the foundations are still too week.
