The Mind is Radiant, even if Clouded by Various Moods | Ajahn Dhammasiha

The Mind is Radiant, even if Clouded by Various Moods | Ajahn Dhammasiha

Brisbane has just experienced the most extreme rains event in decades, with more than 600 mm precipitation in three days! (For comparison, London receives about the same amount in a whole year). Very surprisingly though, when we had outings with our visiting senior monk Ajahn X on Wednesday and Friday, we walked for hours without any rain at all.Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to not always believe the 'weather report': Sometimes the mind feels like there will be only darkness in the future. But if we don't buy it, and we go ahead and practise generosity, virtue and meditation nevertheless, our mind may surprise us by suddenly turning radiant again; just like we had two beautiful outings when the prediction was 100% likelihood of showers and rain.Never give up on the Dhamma, never lose hope in the internal radiance of your own mind! Just like the sun is always there once we fly above the clouds, so our mind can soar above all depressive mind states and shine brighly again, if we dedicate ourselves to the Dhamma with full faith and commitment.www.dhammagiri.netwww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
