Obsering how Craving creates Suffering | Guided Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri

The Buddha's teaching on the Four Noble Truths are eminently practical. They are not just a theory or mental gymnastics, but they are directly applicable to our life with it's pains and pleasures, it's disappointments and tribulations. They can be experienced right here and now in our own conscious experience.

In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to observe with mindfulness and awareness how craving arises in our mind, and how it creates tension, stress, suffering for our mind. These are the first and second noble truth in action, right here and now in our awareness.

Similarly, we can observe how the moment we can let go of that craving, the tension, stress and suffering recedes. This is, at least partially, the third and fourth noble truth in action, right here and now in our awareness.


Naturally, our letting go is usually only partial, not deep enough to really experience the third noble truth fully, i.e. the experience of Nibbāna, or the arising of the Dhammacakka at the experience of Stream Entry. But whenever we succeed in letting go based on wisdon and insight, and then observe mindfully how suffering diminishes, we gradually train our heart to disengage and detach. One day, as wisdom sharpens and insight matures, we will be able to fully let go of craving and experience the total end of dukkha: Freedom, release, Nibbāna.
